Right on, I’ll have to check out proxmox, i don’t have any experience with it yet. That’d be dope to switch at least one computer over to something linix based.

Yeah I know OneDrive is a bad option anymore. I’m definitely looking for options there but nothing is coming close so far. Hardest part is space but each requirement presents an issue.

Thanks for telling me about openoffice, looking at things i think i meamt Only Office. Any opinions there? I’m not keen on the AI push but it also seems optional. Thanks for the positive endorsement for Libre being compatible in an office setting. Looks like they have a good dark mode too which I’m very happy about. I love having a black background to write against and has stopped me from adopting things in the past. I can’t do white backed apps anymore. They hurt lol

The hosting is on my old desktop which is running server 2016. I’d like to replace the OS on it too. I don’t keep the box online so I’m not keen on using it for anything other than game servers.

Appreciate you not going aggro on me over it. Lots of times I mention not being quite there for migrating it gets into this really aggravating back and forth where someone aggressively pushes Linux at me and doesn’t like that I’m not instantly on board or that I have reasons they don’t like. 🙄

I don’t want to get into a big debate on it so if you are just curious and have a couple suggestions I’m down to talk about it. But I’m tired of people telling me that my reasoning isn’t good enough for them. Like, great, thanks, glad you can be happy with it, but we aren’t the same person. So I’d prefer to avoid any conversation where I’m just told to suck it up and deal with something. I am working on finding alternatives but all the ones I’ve come across so far are coming up short in a way that’s non negotiable.

My biggest one is my O365 bundle with office apps, oneNote, and OneDrive.

I am going to be trying out libreoffice and OpenOffice this year to see if I can replace word and excel. Last time I tried they weren’t there for me.

OneNote is my second most vital. I’m looking at Notesnook at the moment but I’m really not enthused by a monthly price or the idea of self-hosting in a docker container. I’ve hated most note apps and OneNote was the only one I’ve clicked with so far. I refuse to touch markdown so that kills a lot of them. I’m taking notes with minor edits, and I refuse to add markdown to the process just to do that. I also will not be ok with a webapp. I don’t like webapps in general.

OneDrive is probably my most vital. I have 1TB for me and 1TB each for 5 family accounts. So 6TB total. And I definitely use the space. On top of that I rely heavily on its integration to the file explorer and the mfa locked personal vault section. I don’t want to deal with a web interface or separate app, outside of an authentication hook for the vault, just to access storage.

Outside of the 365 bundle, it’s mostly running dedicated game servers that have no Linux option. And that’s it I believe. Certainly the most impactful applications. I think most other things I run, I can find acceptable alternatives to or can run in wine or something similar without major issue.

It’s tricky because I have things that just don’t translate well to linux, or become considerably more expensive or time consuming to manage / deal with. Linux has a lot to offer and a lot of great. But I’m just going to keep running an out of date OS until I can switch.

Sounds like Blame! which is one of my favorite graphic novels

I just want to take tbis moment to thank Target for their thoughtful removal of DEI policies. You see I’ve wanted to move for a really long time and my wife always had a requirement that anywhere we moved to would have a target nearby. It complicated the process. But now, I don’t have to adhere to that requirement anymore, because we don’t buy anything from them anymore. It’s great. So thanks Target for showing my wife you were a lousy bunch of scum sucking greedy pigs. I’ve known for years, but it’s nice to have proof.

If I was rich enough to do that I’d pay an extra 5 million to not have his ugly fuckin face on it.

Not nearly enough. It’s staying pretty steady

Needs a permaban.

That’s not moving goalposts. Your original comment was stating the system was sound because the politician was convicted. The person you are replying to was refuting that based on other failures of the french court system.

If you had instead posited “the french justice system is sound in this regard” referencing political conviction solely, then you might have ground for them ignoring the argument.

I bet! That’s a lot of technical info to sort through, understand and create.

Congrats!!

Because they are too big to make intelligent decisions.

I cannot agree with you any harder about FUCKING MARKDOWN. Fuck me I hate that every fucking note app wants me to write in fucking markdown. FUCK. THAT. SHIT.

This really pisses me off. I have so much shit in OneNote and use it regularly.

I wasn’t suggesting anything of the sort. I was saying that only using alaska was not possible for the vast majority of americans. Of course you should be attempting to use the least shitty option. It’s just not possible to only use the non-shitty option. You gotta get where you gotta get.

That’s completely unrealistic for US based people. All we have are asshole companies.

Wish the stock would crater. It seems to be bouncing back up atm.

They killed their child for a political statement. Poor kid didn’t deserve that. Fucking ghouls, I hope some day the reality of them choosing to murder their child sinks in. But it won’t. They are too stupid to have any self reflection.

Yell at the wind
