  • I also feel like a lot of those people are there just to be pricks. I don’t think they really know much at all so their input was unwarranted in the first place.

    The arch wiki is a very good resource and I use it for all Linux distros. But like most repositories of its kind, it gives you the how and not the why.

    That’s what most people want from another person, they ask “how” but I think they mean “why”.




  • I do keep seeing the argument that you can vote with your wallet but I mentioned this in another thread I think a week ago.

    I think voting with your wallet doesn’t quite work here because you’re not going to a competitor, you’re simply opting out. What happens is then they don’t see your platform of choice as the issue. All secretly gathered data points like your platform of choice often present a survivorship bias in the usage data.

    With that being said, piracy has always been “… An issue of service not price” (GabeN) and I wholly support piracy as the alternative. I just don’t think these services like Amazon are going to ever get the memo.

    I do have a weird Tin Foil hat feeling that they’re losing something Linux platform that’s more than support or DRM. What if it’s harder to monitor your usage on Linux platforms and they think that they can encourage you to leave the platform by forcing you to see lower quality so they can get those usage metrics back? (Again, tinfoil hat hypothesis)


  • Hi!I see a lot of great suggestions here but I was just looking at your chart and I think just one fundamental change would benefit you.

    Think of your switch as the “core” of your network. Everything should connect to that switch (computers, access points, firewall) for your best experience/performance.

    If you go with unifi, you should know that their switches are managed but if you intend to self host anything, you’re actually going to want the managed features!

    Thanks and goodluck!
