User, I noticed you weren’t sharing telemetry data, location data,and all your photos with Samsung. I corrected that for you and locked the settings…you’re welcome.

How many non tech people would use this, especially if not in play store. 95% of people don’t know fdroid exists

Waiting for the sequel of PoE to launch. Latest disable just sucked. It was a slog. And you don’t get to experiment with abilities and equipment so much, there’s usually only 1 good combination for any class…don’t use it, you won’t win

It’s great. We already set it up and worked without issues

No

Nano works just fine for me

I’m a self taught child of the 80s that loved to mess around with basic and serial modems when I could finally get 1.

Honestly, I got my first job by low balling the salary and knowing my shit enough to answer questions.

After 1 year I went to a new position paying double. And so on and so forth.

+1 for CMK. It’s built on nagios. Been using it for decades. That shit is rock solid and has never let me down.

Prometheus is metrics and grafana reports it. IMHO, better reporting and graphing, better eye candy. But also harder to setup and get right.

CMK agent works on 95% of what you want with just the agent.

Tropico 3

I always go for Linux desktop at a job. Office 365 runs just fine in a browser. Not ideal, but MS will never give up teams to a Linux Installer again. They took down the 1 they had which wasn’t great but still worked

Thunderbird. Hate the redesign. If it ain’t broke dont fix it.

K9 for phone

I still have pgp signs, but no one has used it to encrypt back to me in years. Don’t know why I keep those on there and active

I use it on reclaimed hardware … Works great for me. Has all the features you’d want for a home lab, and I run a few production hosts there as well

Didn’t they at one point use a bank of PS3s when they still allowed for Linux boot options?

Bash, zshell, BusyBox…you don’t really need anything else

I have a rack in my garage.

My advice, keep it simple, keep it virtual.

I dumpster dove for hardware and run proxmox on hosts. Not even clustered, just simple stand alone proxmox hosts. Connect to my Synology storage device and done.

I run next cloud for webDav contacts and calendar (fuck Google), it does photo and do. Storage. The next client is free from F-Droid for Android and works on debian desktops like a charm.

I run Minecraft server

I run home automation server

I run a media server.

Proxmox backs everything up on schedule

All I need to do is get off-site backup setup for Synology important data and I’m all set.

It’s really not as hard as you think if you keep it simple

Seeing the windows 3.1 interface took me back to a much happier time.

Oh ya, I remember that. Luckily all issues are gone. Wifi is stable

I bought a sager laptop, matching the models that system76 uses. Loaded pop os and away I go.

So far, very stable. I am forced to use Nvidia performance mode if I want an external monitor which is slightly annoying, but I can reboot into normal mode when on battery.

Its the poor battery usage that irks me. The battery life gets me 90 min of use, so not great.

I got steam for some gaming, guitarix and ardour for music, libre office, IDE and git tools all good to go.

Worth it

The problem with 6 is that the play mode is too structured… Especially early on. Theres not much room for custom play… Every game takes on the same form. Civ 4 was the best in series

Fuck. Using nova kept me sane. Even though they say, nothing changes…it will. With an analytics company, if they spend that much on nova, they are either going to go behind a paywall, or start data mining the shit from every user.

Remember, if the product is free, then you’re the product
