Quite the irony; somehow not doing anything and getting people killed needlessly and destroying your own nation is an okay path forward, but trying to find a compromise that stops that would cost you your career… I mean, it’s not surprising, but also really sad.
Sooo they can bend the law and postpone holding elections, but they cannot bend it to hold peace talks? It’s just an excuse.
I may understand “opinionated” differently from you, but the main issue is that when you do want to change something, you can’t. Or it’s some unsupported hack, or (best case) you flip some hidden configuration variable (that will probably break with the next release).
KDE is well configured from the get go as well, you don’t have to change anything and it will work well. But if you do decide that you don’t like some of their defaults, you can tweak many aspects of it.
It wouldn’t really be an issue if you didn’t need an extension for every single basic functionality…
Because of how stupidly opinionated Gnome is I switched to KDE a year or so ago and have been extremely happy with it. And what do you know I don’t even need any extensions, because sane stuff like tray icons are builtin.
I do use an extension for distributing windows in custom areas though, and it didn’t even break throughout the (I believe) 2 large updates there were since I started using it.
Unfortunately not; the UK is more or less an exception because they were there very early and copied the US model.
Time has shown though that everyone wants second level domains anyway so even .uk is now open to anyone and they have the weird hold-over .co.uk and similar domains.
I dunno, having a free, open model made by a trusted company would be nice. I like initiatives like Mozilla Voice, this could be something similar. Probably not great if it’s replacing focus on the other things though.
…and, more importantly, none of the donations go towards Firefox development. Instead they go towards “causes” that Mozilla Foundation finds worthy, and usually they have nothing to do with the open web.
Because a lot of the content on national TLDs is relevant only for people of that nation. It helps with name clashes and pushes off stuff that doesn’t make sense in any of the more “global” TLDs.
And for governments, banks and other institutions there should really be some official standard where they pick a single second-level domain and use it for stuff that needs to be secure so anyone anywhere can be sure it’s controlled by the correct entity and not a scammer.
They’re two separate(ish) issues.
But it’s still a bad idea to use national TLDs for stuff that has nothing to do with that nation.
Granted, is ICANN wasn’t just a money-grabbing machine with no forward thinking they wouldn’t give nations clearly “generally desirable” gTLDs, but since they did already that doesn’t mean they should be misused.
I had a similar issue and in my case it ended up being some AMD crap (I think an updater or something) that probably didn’t install properly or something.
IIRC I just ended up disabling the scheduled task that was running it and that was the end of it.
…especially when they don’t bother to fix years (sometimes decades) old bugs.
That would give random strangers (at least partial) control over what is indexed and how and you’d have to trust them all. I’m not sure that’s a great idea.
This is cool but it’ll be a nightmare to update.
Also, chances are that if you use Alpine the person using your image already has the base layer downloaded, so your image might actually be “bigger” for most people.
I’d like to add that even if you use full disk encryption and have to enter a password to unlock it they could just install a modified loader that captures your password. Though it’s not necessary something I’d worry about from them.
Heck if they wanted, they could use your machine to mine crypto if they wanted to. Or ransom it with encryption of their own. Or get you in legal trouble in so many other ways like putting incriminating files on your machine.
All of that is unfortunately true about any anticheat and pretty much any software you use, really.
Obviously not if you run it unprivileged in a separate OS, but the vast majority of users don’t even use more than a single (usually not password protected administrator) account.
Wait but I already have that diagnosis…?
Firefox has a profile manager (the thing that’s also exposed to about:profiles). Run it like firefox -profilemanager and you’ll get a profile switcher.
Run firefox -profilemanager -no-remote if you want to open multiple different profiles at once (only the original one without “no-remote” will open new tabs when you click on links outside the browser). You’ll probably want to make a shortcut for different profiles though, not sure from memory what it is (but probably -profile ProfileName) and then you can easily use profiles.
The support is actually pretty decent, just kinda hidden. You don’t get a profile switcher because the browsers are completely separate, they don’t really know about each other.
While I agree with the recommendations (I have a ThinkPad P14S Gen4 now) I wouldn’t say the battery life is great - especially if OP wants to do video editing and such. Otherwise it’s an amazing laptop (now that it’s actually supported by the kernel). I still suspect the Intel variant would be better for battery life though.
With that being said for anything this intensive you’ll need a charger with any laptop because it will simply not be able to keep working for 8+ hours with this kind of software. In fact get a docking station and a second screen too unless you plan to be on the go all of the time; the productivity increase from getting a second screen is insane.
Oh and be prepared to lose a lot of the fancy stuff with Linux - sure you get an amazing screen but no HDR. You don’t get the sound improvements from the official Lenovo drivers for Windows, etc. Oh and you should keep the Windows partition (just shrink it to a minimum) - makes it much easier to keep the bios up to date.
Oh if you even have your own router then have a firewall (primarily) there, and simply block every incoming forward connection except the ones you actually want (probably forwarded to your server). Similarly even for the router input rules you likely need only ICMP and not much else.
I see. In that case you should really try tmux; I didn’t vibe with screen either but I find tmux quite usable.
For the most part I just open several terminal windows/tabs on my local machine and remote with each one to the server, and I use tmux only when I explicitly need to keep something running. Since that’s usually just one thing I can use like two tmux commands and don’t need anything else.
Oh and for stuff like copying and such I’d use rsync instead of primitive cp so that in case it gets interrupted I only copy what’s needed.
I wouldn’t bother with virtualization and such; you’d only complicate things for yourself. Try to keep it simple but do it properly: learn some command line basics and you’ll see that in a year it’ll become second nature.
Regular Fedora is more than stable enough for day to day use. I’d start there and then with use see if it’s a good fit.
