Very nice! Unionization is the only way to make employera care about workers rights.

Its sad but linux is still a second class citizen. Nvidea drivers have improved greatly over the years, but it can be still flaky especially newer ones.

Multi moniter support too, it has a history troubled with challenges. Its much much better than it used to be but sometimes there are setups and usecases which have problems. It used to be multiple monitors, just having them as a desktop, was impossible. Nowaday I can daily drive Linux and expect to have a good desktop experience across multiple monitors.

Mindyou, every windows update its a dieroll what breaks for my work surface labtop. Often my display or dock behaviour breaks or my bluetooth, or my networking. Not to excuse the bugs in linux, but to show that even MS on their own hardware have bugs like that. Pcs are hard and even MS can't do it flawlessly.

What you describe as simple multimonitor RDP might actually be a very complex task from a technology and display standpoint.

That being said, it totally sucks having a usecase and finding out that for you have problems getting there. I agree that Linux still has major hurdles for general adoption, (although again, it is so much better than it used to be). Look at it this way: if desktop linux had the same amount of money and development time thrown at it as Windows or MacOS, we'd have a very different experience.

As for tips. I recommend to dualboot. Use MS for your usecases that are not a good experience and use Linux for the other things. Keep checking in with the multiple RDP tech/workflow to see if it works. I did the same thing for years. The only reason I used windows was my games. For other things I used Linux and learned my way around the desktop while doing that. Eventually Proton came along and I could switch entirely.

Telling your coworker "Shut the fuck up?" Is not acceptable. The way communication happens matters.

SteamOS: Alyx will be released before SteamOS 3

In that case yes ofcourse. Why even ask. Pirating is illegal. Vpns are cheap. I can recommend Proton or mullvad

 

Hey all,

I am looking into hacking TVs. Its well known they run linux most of the time, so we should be able to do some fun stuff with them.

I've found some guides, clips and other reference material online, but it isn't much. Do any of you guys have some reference material to help me on my learning journey?

Why is this downvoted?

Bullshit. They make expensive electric cars because thats where the money was. Here in the eu tons of people want to drive electric, but at the prices they offer in this economy, they'll only reach the wealthy.

The only reason these "c level" directors and managers are coming out and saying this is because the easy money is gone and now they really have to innovate. Which is expensive.

Look at your usecase, if it really requires adobe suite, you are out of luck i'm afraid. Perhaps you could research running a VM or wine, but I havent tried any of that myself.

If you conclude that you dont need features exclusive to adobe you might be able to find a foss alternative.

 

It doubles the amount of stars I get for the battle pass. How did I get it? I haven't found any references to this bonus anywhere.

 

I have this activated but I have no idea how I got it. It gives me 2x the amount of stars for my battlepass. Where did I get it?

 

So season 19!

I wonder how the new character fits in the current roster. Seems like an anti-thesis to watson.

 

Its amazing! I have come to love the kodi/jellyfin combo :-D

 

SKA. The music I love. Is alas very dead when looking at how sparsely ska bands populate the programming at music venues and stages.

Can anyone please help me find the few gems that still tour. New and old. Preferably ones that are touring Germany, the Netherlands or Belgium.

 

Hey all,

I want to start using btrfs on my san/nas and use that as a backend for my nextCloud. Before I had read up on btrfs I was thinking about using RAID1. I thought RAID1 would fulfill my two requirements:

  • It would allow me to just pull out a disk and put in a usb dock and read its contents. (disaster recovery, or for my SO to just power down the server and get her data off if something happens to me).
  • It would simply Mirror the data so a single drive can fail and everything is fine.

Now I read things on the documentation of btrfs and in some other places that the RAID1 implementation of btrfs is non-standard, in that is also has some striping functionality.

The image included is from the btrfs docs and it seems it also stripes, not just mirrors, when using 4 disks.

Now my question is: What is its behaviour when using 2 disks? Will this fullfill my two requirements? If not do you have any other recommendations? (I mean i could use zfs...)

A penny for your thoughs :-).

Hey all,

Edit: changed confusing wording based on dack's comment.

I have a problem. I'm building a SAN and I'm playing around with btrfs to learn more about how to use it.

I run into the problem where my sdd1 partition is recognized as swap filesystem. I don't understand whats going on here. I formatted all these drives through my usb-dock via my desktop. All the others are fine, so why is this one giving me problems? I tried removing it with parted amd recreating it as btrfs or ext4 doesnt seem to help.

Does anyone have any insight of why this is happening?

Hey all.

I need some advice on how to deal with the adhoc vs planned work. There are emails, tickets and verbal interruptions that need my attention. Additionally there is an incrr sing amount of meetings I need to attend. At the same time I want to focus on the development of the infrastructure for the planned work. I notice that all the interruptions are detrimental to both the planned and the adhoc work.

The fact that I have to switch my attention all the time and can't just focus starts to frustrate me. It also has to do with my adhd. I cant utilize my hyperfocus to finish the planned work, instead it stimulates the attention switching side of my adhd and cant get into the problem. I just notice I am not as effective as I was before I got this workload.

Do you people recognize this struggle? How do you deal with this?

 

Im just starting out in my nixos journey. This thought came to me in the shower: would nixOS lend itself for a phone OS?

 

Hey all,

I would like to get the above certifications. What resources did you use to study? I can't afford the official training and my employer doesn't want to pay for it.

Any and all help, and all tales of your experience is aplriciated.
