nowadays I assume cracked software (unless if the crack script is fully open source) to likely contain some kind of malware and I just sandbox them since I play cracked games with bottles flatpak anyway.

Most people only relate Linux to Ubuntu, Linux init system to SysVInit or SystemD, Containerisation to Docker or Kubernetes, Linux desktop to Gnome.

In some cases, it may be due to official support being available but most of the time it's just that people are being taught Ubuntu first as "THE Linux" and that's what they use since then.

I don't care much about what other people are comfortable in using, but please don't expect tech support from me. Every time I have to use Windows I get frustrated at how it forcibly feeds me stuff I don't want. Although I admit that sometimes I joke to people to switch to Linux when they get frustrated with Windows as well, but that's about it.

And also, some popular memes about Linux are probably just that, memes. Don't take it too seriously.

Unlike Vanced, they don't redistribute installation files, but rather just the patcher that includes the configurable patches. Revanced users have to already have YouTube apk whether it is from the installed YouTube app or just saved apk so that they could build a patched youtube "revanced" apk with the patcher.

However, I don't know if redistribution of a patching tool to an app that's against modification of its binaries is legal.

WPS is definitely decent. I used to use WPS Office, because LibreOffice corrupted my school document files, but it felt too limited and riddled with telemetry. It never suddenly crashed on me and the compatibility was amazing.
But I have since moved back to LibreOffice because it is more feature complete and more peaceful, knowing that it's made by a trusted and open foundation. LibreOffice might still not be stable since it still often crashes and becomes unresponsive but at least I never got my documents corrupted again.

Is it now acceptable to leave the office on time and not join the after work nomikai?

QR payments don’t impose fees on cardholders and merchants.

I thought they were going to tax QRIS payments, or was that only for Indonesia?

I am unsure if I can ELI5 those without also ELI5-ing about Computer Network, VPN and Firewall.

They are VPNs. Like a regular network, they connect your devices through their network. They may put Firewall rules to allow you to talk to X networks (any specified networks). That also means the VPN may not allow you to connect to the internet through their network. Now the difference between ZeroTier and Tailscale and other VPNs for accessing the internet is that ZeroTier and Tailscale only permit your traffic to your other devices that are bound to your account and not to the internet (your other internet data won't go through zerotier/tailscale). This configuration is great because you have a virtual and secluded network that you can connect to from anywhere via the internet using ZeroTier/Tailscale networks (with your virtually local IP on ZeroTier/Tailscale).

I'm hosting an email server on a VPS that has fail2ban in it. A lot of ports are open but only wireguard and knockd are listening.

For remote server management, I would use wireguard for regular ssh access, but when I need to configure the wireguard I can just disable/reenable the wireguard-only ssh firewall rule using port knocking, there is also the option of using the serial console on the VPS web ui but it is slower.

Honestly, I'm not sure myself if my public facing services face a DoS attack. Well, there's always an option of using Cloudflare. With that being said though, I think in your case you should just use a free "VPN" like Tailscale or ZeroTier.

Those random white stripes would definitely encourage people to cross!

Modern PHP is quite performant and nice to work with and it's still improving! Also frameworks like Laravel is very established.

When comparing the time when I use PHP and JavaScript, I love the simplicity and versatility of JavaScript but PHP's strongly typed (with runtime support) and object oriented language often make more sense imo.

I think the strong benefit of using JavaScript for backend comes down to being able to have unified full-stack codebases, one language fits all kind of thing.
