Haven’t heard anything yet. If I do I will post it here.

It appears that has been corrected. As of 0810 central daylight savings time U.S.

I’ve been on Linux for 20+ years and have never had to rely on paid for support. The paid for support is really geared towards professional big business work stations and server stacks. If you need support for Linux you can find free support on their forums 99% of the time. It’s the IT departments with lazy techs that rely on Linux paid support.

You are right about the Micro$uck hate though. Why should I pay to use an operating system on a computer I buy and use until it’s reached it’s EOL when I can use Linux to do everything you do on windows and I don’t have to pay for the software? In today’s economy, it makes sense to use Linux.

The creators are making money from the ads, they probably won’t abandon ship at yt unless they stop making revenue. A lot of the creators on yt rely on the ads to be worthwhile in creating the content.

I agree, yt is getting stupid with their ads, from what I understand they are now including ads in the yt premium subscription aervice, which is supposed to be ad free mind you.

As long as greed dictates content, creators won’t abandon ship, unless they can have ads on the alternatives to make money on.

It will be a continuous battle. But, eventually, one or the other will lose

And now you got the likes of google and YouTube that prevent things from working if you do run an ad blocker

Of course it’s going to affect it. These oil tycoons love wars in the Middle East, that way they can stick it to us all at the pump and everywhere else they can put their dirty fingers in.

This has since been uploaded to my GitHub repo

Still working on other scripts I plan to upload

Awesome strategy. Guess that gives a new meaning to offsite storage

The irritation for me stated back with windows ME and the constant bsod’s I would randomly get every couple of days. Been on Linux since then, currently using endeavourOS as my daily driver and am very happy with it.

I always thought about running a RP. But I just don’t have a scaleable need for one. It might have been a different case if as card manufactures had a 500gb card available. Then I would use it as a small plex server for my home where I could upload movies to it through ssh connection.

Nice. It seems that some translation in my question maybe an issue lol.

I realize that a lot of people think this community is based solely on server side. But, our community is also for the random home user that isn’t necessarily Linux centric or is just starting with Linux in general s well as troubleshooting issues both on pc or servers.

Guess I’ll have to try it. Been talking to the wife about making a tower a dedicated home server and maybe even opening it up to the net. But I won’t do that until it is properly locked down for wide open internet access. If at all.

As someone is wanting to set up their own self hosted server is it pretty simple to set up?

However, iirc the article stated this affected her phone service too. If it hadn’t been for her cell phone she could have been in jeopardy if something happened and she couldn’t call out.

That does make it an issue in which it could be declared as criminal endangerment of the elderly. This in turn would cost them a lot more than a techs pay.

This is true, yet no one wants to listen to reality

True. I try to stay anonymous. But that doesn’t work on all social medias. Take Facebook for example, they show all that info in your profile allowing haters to hate

This is true, just like I have an ml account too. But I wouldn’t put past someone to create another account on another instance with efwis and start some shit because I hurt their feelings. So far that hasn’t been an issue but there is a first time. Especially since the username doesn’t show what instance your’re on on the feeds

The only bad part about the fediverse, imho, it’s hard to be the only one with your username. What makes it bad is a malicious user, that you may have pissed off somehow, start using your username in a smear campaign to hurt your reputation.

I looked it up and corrected my post. Had to change Vivaldi also as it is opera fork.

I honestly thought you were talking about the “opera is owned by china” fud
