Windows is malware.

I remember when Linux users used to say that, but it turns out they were right.

I’m glad I leaved that cursed OS behind.

I mean, it’s kind of not incorrect:

Windows 11 users reportedly losing data due to Microsoft’s forced Windows 11

Noooo it has AI garbage, what the hell.

I really need this feature, I have over 500 tabs open right now, I just hope it works well.

Seems like PewDiePie is a lot more open-minded than a lot of Windows users lol

Good, make them suffer.

I meant it’s disappointing that they haven’t addressed any of the security issues.

That’s really sad. Damn, how disappointing.

Many of these have already been fixed FWIW, it’s not a collection of open issues. Nevermind, they have only been closed, not fixed. Yikes.

It’s covered up yeah, most of the republicans are too dumb to realize it.

Nobody is referring to 10 years as “months”.

When you’re talking about multiples of years, it’s going to be called years, not months. They were obviously talking about a short timeline, less than 2 years, likely less than 1 year.

They have no idea what they’re talking about.

Like I said, months is a joke.

Yep, months is a joke, doubly so when talking about tens of millions of lines of code and also COBOL specifically.

This is going to be a hilarious disaster but not so hilarious when people who need the benefits need them and won’t be able to get them.

It is indeed very difficult to type convert 001.jpg example.pdf and ffmpeg -i rock.mp4 rock.avi

Because it’s easy to accidentally run services or set up services temporarily and forget that you left them running. With UPnP being able to automatically/dynamically open ports, a firewall is just another layer of protection. You can also configure firewalls to ignore packets silently or log dropped packets, and if applications ever get new versions and end up listening on new ports, you would have to manually allow the ports. Maybe you want to have one part of an application accessible through the firewall but not another part of the application.

Plus, like you said, country blocking is another feature which personally I think is nice to have, and there are also other features too like being able to throttle connections, especially with things like fail2ban.

It’s just another layer of protection, and it ensures that everything you run is deliberate.

Yes, correct, I made a typo. I fixed it now.

I edited my comment to better and more fully reflect my thoughts. It’s hard to properly express myself when I’ve been as sick as I have been with bronchitis and possible pneumonia for the past 4 weeks.

Hopefully my comment now better reflects my thoughts.

I’m mixed on it. If it is more secure/safe then that’s a good thing, but if it’s done because it’s MIT-licensed instead of GPL-licensed, then that could possibly be concerning.

Seems like there is a federated solution for everything lol

There’s also a list of ActivityPub software on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub#Software_using_ActivityPub

Same thing that happened with NCIX’s personal information data, it probably goes to the highest bidder.

It’s important to have seperate directories for unfinished torrent downloads and complete ones, and only have sonarr pick up from the completed one

Back when I used Torrents instead of Usenet for sonarr, I had only the one folder, since Plex would generally pick up the library changes automatically anyway. I’d assume that Jellyfin is similar, although I don’t use it enough to know for sure. These days I use only Usenet for sonarr/radarr since I’m paying for Usenet and it’s excellent for automation/new content, and SABnzbd provides both incomplete and complete folders by default anyway.

All the forums I used to go to on any regular basis are dying out or dead - NotebookReview, DSLReports, etc.

I still stop by Linus Tech Tips forum and GBATemp and Overclock.net and ServeTheHome on rare occasions.
