Favourite CLI I’d say is Junos. Structured, hierarchical, flexible.

Decarbonise already FFS, make this irrelevant

Who let’s AI anywhere near production environments? Fully deserved

I’ve jumped. My old Win10 PC doesn’t have a modern enough CPU to support Windows11, and after having seen what MS are doing with it I wasn’t interested in upgrading anyway. I used to use Ubuntu back in my younger days at school so I’m not completely alien to Linux, but I’d turned my back on it in favour of Microsoft productivity suites after moving into the full time work arena. Once support ended for Win10 I flattened my hard disks and made the move.

While I do have Ubuntu/Debian experience, I ultimately decided against going down that path because I’m not too happy with the recent decisions Canonical has made. Plus, I’m a gamer deep down and was interested to see what gaming on Linux looks like nowadays (my last attempt was a half-assed install of Left4Dead 2 when Valve were just figuring things out), so I ultimately settled on CachyOS. Going from Ubuntu and Gnome through 10 years of Windows to land at Arch and KDE has been one hell of a journey and I’m surprised by how little I know in this environment. It is NOT like riding a bike, a few years away really feels like learning from scratch again!

Things are going well though. I’m running Steam/Heroic with a bunch of games installed (Proton 😍), I’m back with LibreOffice and GIMP (though I never really stopped using GIMP), and I’m learning a bunch of new terminology and apps. It doesn’t matter that because of forced obsolescence there’s no way back to MS, I’m only interested in going forward anyway.

Join us. It’s not as scary as you think.

Musicbrainz?

But what if I just say I’m using all this media to train my AI? Then it’s legal right?

I moved to GrapheneOS about a month ago, not too long after the announcement. Bought a used Pixel and jumped. TBH moving to Graphene was something I’d considered for a while for privacy reasons but Google gave me that last push.

There are some different ways of doing things but I’ve really enjoyed the transition overall.

Going back maybe 10 years the thought at the time was NFC tags on all your goods. OK glad it didn’t happen

I only use my desktop for gaming now but it’s old and won’t run Win11. I’m going for a SteamOS general release then I’ll just drop windows on there altogether

That was the purpose of MirrorLink, but I think it’s dead now. I only ever saw Volkswagen support it.

We did both. It was 2 weeks of gelato and prosecco at the marina daily. Belissimo.

An important distinction

Can’t wait for future generational edgelords to start shouting “Trump did nothing wrong”

But on the plus side, this idiot is 34.76 billion poorer

PC with 2 NICs would solve this surely? 1 port to the building for Internet, the other to your offline router which connects to your headset wirelessly

But most (all?) Torrent clients let you select which files you want to download so of there was an official unarchived torrent then archivists could seed forever and others could select the ROMs/manuals/etc. that they wanted

Thanks. Just added this to my torrent server and will seed until the server dies
