git is already a decentralized version control software. Your local git repos are mirrors by themselves.

Put some git fetch in a server crontab, and you’re done. You can access them via ssh if your user have permissions.

target the largest market segment to gain the most conversions.

Windows market share is bigger in desktop only. In fact, is kinda sad that still there are serious institutions using Windows for non-desktop stuff. I hope this incident changes it.

the real difference is you need a few decades of linux experience to fix anything in a timely manner.

[ citation needed ] Probably you are meaning desktop again. Although troubleshooting Windows is not easy task neither, there are way more desktop users familiar with it.

The real thing is

• 1. There is no single “linux” OS. There are lots of different OSes based on Linux kernel. And they are for servers, desktop, embedded systems, smartphones, etc.
• 2. More important. Security is a process, not a product from a vendor. The root cause of this incident is that some institutions are seeing that you just buy “security”, install it, and call it a day. No important stuff should auto-update. And no institution should auto-update lots of important stuff at the same time.

So, Linux is not really more secure. But is built in a culture where security is taken more seriously.

Sorry, I can’t hear you over the artillery noise.

Wait.

Does Portainer ask your email? I haven’t used it in years. I though it was just a container that you run, with mounted docker socket, and that’s it.

Is it now doing some “telemetry” and sending user data, like email, to their servers? If so, I’m glad I’m not using that anymore.

VPS + VPN is the cheapest option I believe for the services. It doesn’t have to be “elaborated”.

You can port-forward public VPS ports to your private addresses/ports. If you don’t want to use iptables you can use firewalld.

The only “but” will be latency. For gaming it won’t perform as you may need.

Oh, it’s gonna use polkit. Sudo bloat is a grain of sand compared to polkit.

Why people want to replace sudo with polkit? Visudo is no near as obscure as configuring polkit.

I hope distro maintainers don’t follow this.

Wow! this is exactly what I needed. Although, I didn’t exactly ask for it.

Thank you very much

I might not be hired as a translator

Everything in automation has the same effect: human work becomes obsolete.

Most of the time is work that nobody likes, like elevator operator or copying books by hand. Sometimes is work that someone likes, like knitting or distributing newspaper by bike.

LLMs and stuff like that is nothing new in that regard. Although today LLMs are not an actual replacement of a professional translator.

Nobody broke the law lol.

I believe they have like a month to comply.

The just asked for a ticket in the app, to make their lifes easier. If OP doesn’t want to, they still have to comply though.

Now I remember why I hate working directly with customers.

They were very friendly imo. No need to speak legalese or to be rude.

Just tell them that you can’t or don’t want to install the app.

If they don’t help you, then you proceed to remind them that you are not required to install anything for them to comply with GDPR.

Kubernetes is useful if you have gone full cattle over pets. And that is very uncommon in home setups. If you only own one or two small machines you cannot destroy infra easily in a “cattle” way, and the bloatware that comes with Kubernetes doesn’t help you neither.

In homelabs and home servers the pros of Kubernetes are not very useful: high availability, auto-scaling, gitops integrations, etc: Why would you need autoscaling and HA for a SFTP used only by you? Instead you write a docker-compose.yml and call it a day.

haha I thought exactly the same thing lol He’s linuxplained why his distro is better. That’s the spirit.
