God bless CrowdStrike for their thoughtfulness!

Yeah I think the masses are going to be a tough sell on Linux until computer manufacturers start offering Linux builds with a pre-installed instance.

Everyone’s family needs a tech geek to install Linux on a brand new computer.

Sorry to break the spell but Windows 12 will be worse. Might even be subscription based.

Wtf!

Good thing I use to debloat windows 10 on a local account and got rid of onedrive before it could wreck havok so.

But got to be honest, Far as long as I can remember, I always had backup of important data. Encryption - client side if off to the cloud.

Shit I’m so old that I prefer my music on HDD instead of using streaming services.

Using Linux nowadays too BTW.

What distros are those?

Call me skeptical, but haven’t you guys watched Terminator 2?

These guy will end up exploding their own facility with a hand detonator, when skynet becomes our overlords. You want to join that crowd?

I’m always going to Selfhosted my shit. Tell you that right now.

Restarting anything with a chip in it once and a while is good practice.

Not switchin’ from Aegis. No sir’ee.

I run windows 10 in a docker container on Linux and RDP in from any computer. More lightweight than a full fledge VM. It comes with file system passthrough as a network folder.

I just stop the container when I’m done and return to my Linux desktop session.

The Heliboard keyboard (opensource), based on Openboard, is pretty damn good on at least 3 languages with a seamless typing experience with predictions.

The trick config is to use one language (english) then use “sub languages” that you need. Don’t just tick the 3 languages on the list or you need to switch manually between them when typing.

No spying going on here.

When we are talking terabytes of data there are faster ways for the initial sync job.

I would just use rsync/sftp/robocopy or similar for that first copy for faster transfers, then setup Syncthing on those shares for delta syncs.

Or Syncthing if they want to sync gb’s of files between computers.

Google Maps as well. Very inaccurate at times.

Well of course. Now all your traffic goes through proxies to Google’s servers for analytics.

100℅ data harvesting.

Genius move by Google. Even calls it a security/privacy measure!

They will succeed too. Most of the human race are Neanderthals anyway. Couldn’t care less.

Oh no! That will fuck up my muscle memory!

Oh wait!

I don’t use Winblows! Ufa!

Edit: seriously though, this whole AI super spyware baked into Windows is a privacy violation on a whole different level.

Too bad most ppl don’t give a fuck.

Does anyone remember K.I.T.T from Knight Rider in the 80’s?

Same steering wheel! Haha

Social media as it’s worse.

Facebook, Instagram, X and WhatsApp, all toxic waste.

At least there are platforms like Lemmy, where people (most of the time) share knowledge in an “anonymous” environment, which is actually brilliant for passing on information to the next man, without the toxication and promotion of suicidal tendencies.

Social media in the common sence always was a cancer in our modern society.

One of the best thing I did till this day was to never have open a Facebook account. I see that as a personal merit!

Feel free to take it as a chance to present yourself to the community!

Hello, my name is Zingo and I have a selfhosting addition going back to 2016 when I bought my first NAS with docker capabilities.

Community: Hi Zingo! Welcome!

Thank you.

Currently struggling more than even as it starts to take over my life. I have tried over hundreds of services.

I’ll try to find strength to list some at a later stage in this healing process. Sorry no bonus points. Maybe in the next session.

Thank you all for this awesome support. I would be lost without you. 💓

Another Google Abuse Example.

The way Google is starting to abuse its position of power to crackdown on its users, its really comes to show the cracks in its armour.

It’s the beginning of the end for Google.

Long live open source software!
