Example.com recently had an issue where its traffic was found being routed to the wrong place (its traffic should get discarded).
I use it for email accounts on test data in environments with a live mail server configured. The point of this domain is that it doesn’t work.
I’m fairly sure it’s all the antivirus, which in itself is a kernel rootkit. The whole laptop is getting replaced in a month so there’s not much point in fixinig it.
Yep. With active fans.
I fired up procexp and found nessus scanning every file on my drive. I found the SentinelOne had written 10GB of logs since start. I found some bullshit dell service was slamming the CPU. It’s all shit that my company put there.
I found that it adds an extra 7 minutes to a 12 minute build when I compile my project, compared to doing it on WSL. The Windows bloat is insane.
Linux doesn’t waste RAM. All unused RAM becomes a disk read cache, but remains available on demand.
I have 32GB on my Windows PC laptop it can’t do three at once.
Running the backend (java) and the frontend (react native) in intellij uses 29GB RAM, so I must run Android on real hardware over ADB+USB. Running an android simulator pushes it over the edge.
Also: Laptops are shit. On Windows, the tau is so bad that the cores are throttled straight after boot because the cooling is rubbish. It almost never hits full speed. It can’t survive more than 40 minutes on a full battery. It might as well be a NUC.
I upgraded mine from 16GB to 32GB two years ago beacuse RAM was cheap. I didn’t really need it, and have probably never hit 16GB usage anyway.
Meanwhile my work Windows laptop uses 16GB at idle after first login.
Windows has always been wasteful computing, and everyone just pays for it.
This is how I do it. No VPN. No NAT nonsense. You can open an IPv6 address to the public internet and nobody is going to stumble across it. You don’t even disclose your address to servers you connect to.
100% of shady connections come from bots scanning address space on IPv4.
Data is stored on a hard disk. You can steal those.
However, this sounds more like the “transfer me your crypto or I’ll bash ya” kind of old school thuggery.
Anyone with a crypto wallet on a hard disk would have it encrypted, backed up, and paasworded too. Stealing the physical disk would only work if you also had means to break into it, and transfer the funds faster than the owner can do the same from their backup.
I don’t get how a single person would have that much data. I fit my whole life from the first shot I took on a digital camera in 2001… Onto a 4TB drive.
…and even then, two thirds of it is just pirated movies.
The fedora-wearing nerds are ones with 244Hz ultrawide 4k HDR monitors.
What you’re describing is everyone who just wants to watch a TV show comfortably on their sofa. You could swap any TV for a base-model TCL the same size and they won’t notice.
Even the gamers won’t want 8K. You’d notice the drop on FPS more than the increase in quality.
It actually made it worse.
It’s the next 3D.
They try to expand in all dimensions. Bigger panels. Higher res. Higher bit depth. Increased contrast ratios. Stereoscopics. Higher refresh rates.
Yet to find a real world use for anything over a 65" QHD at 60Hz 8bpp.
I deliberately have not used docker at home to avoid complications. Almost every program is in a debian/apt repo, and I only install frontends that run on LAMP. I think I only have 2 or 3 apps that require manual maintenance (apart from running “apt upgrade”). NextCloud is 90% of the butthurt.
I’m starting to turn off services on IPv4 to reduce the network maintenance overhead.

I don’t think I want to waste 40MB per photo.
Exactly. You can tell someone to type a command, and ask for the output. Otherwise you’re spending 90% of your time asking someone to explain what they see, and searching for buttons that just move around from week to week.
A “per user” graph is not indiciative of the number of users, or any change in that metric. You cannot use this graph to determine any effect of the total user count.
You can’t copy and paste into a GUI, and it’s painful to help people to use them.
Don’t threaten us with a good time.
