Props to Alpine and Kali for disabling this bullshit out of the box (lemmy.world)

Context for newbies: Linux refers to network adapters (wifi cards, ethernet cards, etc.) by so called "interfaces". For the longest time, the interface names were assigned based on the type of device and the order in which the system discovered it. So, eth0, eth1, wlan0, and wwan0 are all possible interface names. This, however,...

I laughed so hard. Then I cried remembering good old days of eth0.

Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough (www.xda-developers.com)

There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence. However, a subtle addition to Xcode 16 — the development environment for Apple platforms, like iOS and macOS — is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple's claim that...

8GB is definitely not enough for coding, gaming, or most creative work but it’s fine for basic office/school work or entertainment.

The thing is, basic office/school/work tasks can be done on any laptop that costs twice less than an 8GB MacBook.

You know this book is not real because Arch Linux has no failures 😎

So you completely accept the state’s monopoly on violence

That's the whole point of the state. And no, you guys are not fighting the US army with its armored vehicles, rockets, bombs, drones, etc. with your guns if it comes to this.

That's a very rare case, and you can whitelist a domain using the pihole's web interface. It may require extra two clicks, but I had to do that maybe twice in the last year.

Come the 80s, their manufacturing was well ahead of the west, and there weren’t any food issues either.

That's not true. While the USSR did have a significant manufacturing capacity, it was often inefficient due to the planned economy. This led to factories closing after 1991 because they couldn't compete with the free market. The quality of products was often subpar, and there was a lack of diversity and functionality. In fact, many essential items weren't even manufactured.

This was a major contributor to the Soviet Union's economic downfall and eventual collapse. If you read archival records (available through various books, for instance), you'll find that even high-ranking officials like ministers and vice ministers were writing letters to each other in the 80s about the poor output in their respective sectors, including the oil industry, which was struggling due to outdated technology.

In the USSR, higher education being free (as is the socialist tradition) gave people a lot more choice

The idea that the Soviet Union had exceptional higher education is a myth. In reality, their education system was overly focused on technical skills, neglecting essential life skills like critical thinking, creativity, decision-making, and many others.

This became apparent in the 90s when many supposedly 'highly educated' individuals were involved in fraudulent schemes, failed to build and stand for democracy. While it's true that the USSR produced some outstanding scientists, that's where the excellence ended. A society cannot thrive solely on the backs of scientists and enginners. A well-rounded education is essential for prosperity.

I'd recommend reading some books about the Soviet Union, particularly its later years. It's not feasible for me to provide an in-depth education on this topic in a single post. It's clear that you are not knowledgeable, and I'm not sure why you're arguing without being informed on the subject ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm glad to hear that!

Just stop using YT altogether.

And use what? I'm not on YouTube for YouTube. I'm on YouTube for the content that is often unavailable elsewhere.

I see a lot of gentle replies. I wonder if they would have looked the same if the browser in question was Google Chrome. The issue is that you can't win this game. They ask you one thing, then another, then another, until you either fully comply or stop cooperating, and they block you anyway. That's a reputational hit for the company and its product, whose only competitive advantage was its reputation.

Today, new research conducted for a new book, Impact Engineering, has shown that 65% software projects adopting Agile requirements engineering practices fail to be delivered on time and within budget, to a high standard of quality. By contrast, projects adopting a new Impact Engineering approach detailed in a new book released today only failed 10% of the time.

All you need to know about this study.

When it comes to preserving my data? Yes. Though I'd be concerned about privacy of my diary too, I get your point. Public code is one thing, but personal notes is another.

Didn't I answer this question in my previous reply?

@cheddar@programming.dev avatar

I like the idea, but I don't like that everything is tied to a single account. If it's compromised so are your emails, calendar, contacts, files, and passwords. But the service is good enough to replace Google, and choosing between the two, I'd choose Proton.

cheddar ,
@cheddar@programming.dev avatar

Should we do that though? I'm choosing between playing PS5 and configuring my home server. I'm not being paid for either of that. But skills I obtain while tinkering with the server actually help me with some tasks at work.

cheddar ,
@cheddar@programming.dev avatar

That's true. But as we were speaking about an external service (Proton), I was thinking about diversification. I use Proton for emails, but I don't use Proton Pass opting for another external password manager.

cheddar ,
@cheddar@programming.dev avatar

I agree. I was thinking about using different services for different tasks instead of putting everything into the same basket. I'm not self-hosting an email server either.

Yes, that's why OP updated it!

cheddar OP ,
@cheddar@programming.dev avatar

Quite often I see replies like "don't open ports, use tailscale". Maybe they mix different reasons and solutions, confusing people like me :D

cheddar OP ,
@cheddar@programming.dev avatar

Yep, VPN makes it easier to access different services. Connect once, open anything you want in the local service. But I can set up WG without a VPS. To me that extra layer seems unnecessary.

That's what I was thinking too. Thank you!
