Yes they were mostly xmr miners, or reverse shell (pretty much like all those windows RAT)

Good. Good. If enough countries retire we may have a chance to win.

Then Mint is Ubuntu refined for technophobe or people too busy to mess with their OS, plus perfect ability to reuse all Ubuntu targeted software and skills.

I hope it last, web enshitification may bring us back to the 2000s where that one site requires internet explorer, this one won’t allow DRM content on non windows platforms…

It’s just around the corner.

Luckily at work we are allowed to install a dual boot, or even single boot with Linux. The one obligation is to run the corporate antivirus and vpn client (and yes we had malware detections of Linux binaries).

Dual booting for the last 6 months, now 100% on Linux (Mint). Can’t say I miss anything from windows, maybe ms office’s polished apps but I can’t care less. Nowadays everything runs in the browser, it has become « the OS ». And almost every browser is a chromium variant that’s it.

" not much "

It’s not called mastodon for nothing 🤷‍♂️

That’s 90% true: today AI is writing 90% of all bullshit I read

VPN for streaming on the go ? Too much hassle 😓

Pandora is unavailable in Europe, does anyone knows solid alternatives ?

Let’s save this post for the next follow friday…

You may look at SDF.org they provide shell accounts and hosting.

Please hold still and look straight at the funny webcam

How does it compare to mattermost or rocketchat?

I was a mattermost admin on a pretty big corporate instance ages ago, it faded out not because of teams but because of lacking integration with productivity software.

Actually we were denied integration efforts because trust issues OSS vs corpo. How ironic today when pretty much everything is tied to a foreign cloud ¯_(ツ)_/¯

And by setting your VPN right you mean activating full tunneling, blocking connections if the tunnel happens to disconnect, enforcing DNS through the tunnel … did I miss something?

I use LLM sparsely, but forcing AI in software is a PITA

I can’t believe they asked end users, the question is sent over the fediverse, not X or Bsky…

Or else they would have received tons of « it’s missing my Nextcloud runs on Samsung S24 » comments

Users is the right word here, not admin, not sysadmin, not owner. Docker pull docker up users that’s it

IDK if it’s Mint specific, but cinnamon desktop has a network management app with native support for VPNs

Communick ? What is this ?
