Obey your main

I don’t think they will prohibit side loading. This will cause serious issues to developers, and other professionals.

Like, I cannot use the X tool from Github, just because the Y developer refuses to publish it in an organized store?

This also applies to Windows. What prevents a user from downloading a Firefox fork that does not properly implement age verification?

Since it is impossible to implement on Linux, it may just be flagged as adult-only software.

But, there is still hope. What if Snaps and Flatpaks get properly flagged, allowing Ubuntu and/or Fedora to be legal?

Maybe you can

There is no such thing as idiot-proof steps to tamper the registry. Most of those registry keys are not documented, and it’s very hard to be completely sure about what you are touching.

If you need a debloated experience, install LTSC.

It was the last remaining exam before my deletion from university. I wish I could attend the lectures, but, due to work, it was impossible. Also, my degree is not fully related to my work field. I work as a software developer, and my degree is about electronics engineering. I just need a degree to get promoted.

What models have you tried? I used local Llama 3.1 to help me with university math.

It seemed capable of solving differential equations and doing LaPlace transform. It did some mistakes during the calculations, like a math professor in a hurry.

What I found best, was getting a solution from Llama, and validating each step using WolframAlpha.

I don’t think they care about the budget. They probably care more about impressions and clicks. So, just use an adblocker, to lower their ad impressions.

I had read about it on another thread, which was about using old smartphones as servers (they used Termux).

Those old lithium batteries, although sometimes seemingly healthy, can catch fire any time. Having them connected to the charger 24/7 is only making matters worse.

I wouldn’t trust the battery of old devices. I would probably buy a used UPS (without battery) and slap a new battery to it. This would cost more, but it would allow me to also connect other important devices to it - like the router and some lights.

I have a Wyse 5010. Be careful with your SSD plans. Mine had an mSATA SSD. Luckily, after removing the chassis of a SATA SSD, and only keeping the board, it could fit in there.

I feel the importance of user privileges distinction, as I see it from a server perspective and organization managed devices. Some would argue the insignificance of this in the personal desktops.

However, I believe that the community structure of Linux is benefiting everyone. It is a general purpose kernel, that gets improvements from various different sectors. In the current space, where most servers run Linux and most desktops run Windows, desktops are not benefiting from filesystem or scheduling optimizations implemented for servers.

I had a look at Haiku some months ago. Its single user architecture is an interesting choice. I mean, you don’t need to worry about privilege escalation exploits, if you are always fully privileged /s

I was literally reading your guide about bonfire moments ago.

For those who don’t have a problem with systemd, there is NixOS, which offers the same capabilities as guix, while having a larger community and way more available packages available in its repos.

Care to elaborate?

Wait until you learn about the Linux kernel and the plethora of modules and patches

You also need to ln -s /dev/null /dev/nul

In bash, when you redirect the output of a command to /dev/null, like cat /etc/passwd >/dev/null, you are silencing the output.

There are cases that this is useful, for example when checking if an application is installed:

node -v >/dev/null && echo "Node.js is installed"

This line tries to get the version of Node.js, but it silences the output. That’s because we don’t care about the version. We only care about whether the execution was successful, which implies the existence of Node.js in the system.

Kids nowadays don’t know about DVI, VGA, COM, Parallel or Gameport. I loved the days when one could accidentally remove the screw on the board side.
