  • You know how many times I tried to install some driver on windows, just for it to say fuck you?

    • install windows Euro version

    • it dosent include direct sound

    • direct sound is probably a directx lib, install that

    • nope, I look it up (for euro version of course)

    • I should go to the „add or remove features”

    • type into searchbar, find it instantly

    • can’t find

    • apparently I’ve been using the legacy version thats accessible and correctly indexed in the search bar. What I need is the new thing with the same name that is only accessible in 3 sub menus

    • so basically if I want to install dhcp servers, hypervisor etc, I need the old menu, but if I want libs for those or slightly different versions I need the new menu

    • install

    • wat 10 mins at a loading bar that tells me nothing, just for it to fail with no error code

    • repeat until I go back to linux






  • I have a multi monitor setup and regularly play helldivers, war thunder, etc on an rtx card on a display with gsync

    The games often have stuttering problems and behave generally unexpectedly when in full screen, and mouse capture dosent work, so 50% of the time I had to disable the monitor so it dosent go to the other screen and tab out of the game

    Tried on both endeavourOS and mint, so its probably a cinnamon thing

    I use it on my backup PC tho and never had a problem with normal applications, its great performance wise

    Fedora

    Used linux for 4 years now, I’ll list it and the reason why I switched

    • Ubuntu (snaps, etc)

    • arch (too much setup)

    • opensuse (nvidia drivers don’t get checked for size, broke my GUI many times

    • Gentoo (too much compile time)

    • bazzite (a bit boring)

    • fedora atomic (immutable, can’t get mullvad on it), still use on my htpc

    • mint (cinnamon DE is shit)

    • endeavour (its still arch)

    • fedora regular



  • I truly don’t understand your rant or hate unless you love corporations pushing age verification

    Either you increase your attack vector by running a bash script and risk breaking your entire repo by changing your $release or youre a dicksucking corpo

    Anything else? Or do I have to continue?

    because it lays the emperor bare and naked

    In what way? Please, seriously, tell me. If I change my $release to this, does my distro maintainer suddently stop implementing any age stuff? Because honestly I don’t think this is how FOSS works. If you don’t like it, fork it and maintain it.

    Honestly this is just as much a protest as the clippy profile pictures. You can say you did something, but you were just as complacant as those embracing it.








  • People who sign these things know full well what they are doing

    FYI: tl;Dr version: there is a very good reason why System administration and integration is a 3 year long education, and trust me, from what I’ve seen you don’t meet that criteria.

    FYI: Long version. (Btw, I'm not working in the field, but I'm planning to, so please correct any misconceptions)

    The GDPR Exists, data protection laws exist, and it is your duty to inform other of what you are doing with that info, not the users. Premade docker images are shit for security, they are almost every time based on an old Version and such are vulnerable to Hacks like the SQL CVE just some Weeks ago. Your data will get leaked, your users data will get leaked, and you will be liable to all damage. If you want an alternative to the usual petition sites, you will also need to implement a working bot protection, trolls, etc, of which cloudflare or other CDNs will only do a fraction of. Your homelab needs to have a good uptime, regular sec updates, and competent security. Your own network will get ddosed as a result of the traffic, if you don’t have a good network plan. All of those are just a few things you have to think about when publishing to the internet, and which you apparently just don’t have the knowledge to do.






  • On the right I mean. Specifically, an apt update neither upgrades the packages (only syncs the repo), nor should it magically change your shell to sh without giving you any output, except if you enabled the --silent option, which was not enabled in this case, and even then I’m pretty certain it would only cut out verbose output like the specific repos, but not the „synced repos. X packages can be upgraded” message.
