Australia bans social media for under 16s
  • So then it is okay to add another? ;-)

  • Any Tutorials?
  • Have you learned this yet? As setting up Nextcloud is not too hard really :)

  • Would you rather be misinformed, disinformed, know a lot, know a little or know nothing?
  • And its not like you can only learn by watching the news 🙈

    I learn plenty of things all day long. Just not from the news.

  • Would you rather be misinformed, disinformed, know a lot, know a little or know nothing?
  • Mind you, i still want to retreat from society :)

    But also, my father died 4 years ago, my mother just two months ago. One learns to "not give a shit". They where 62 and 61 respectively. I'm 43.

    Life's too short to worry about things you can't control. And since i can't control anything on the news, i stopped watching, and stopped caring.

    I CAN control how i handle those around me. So i try to be as respectful and as friendly as i can be to those close by.

  • Would you rather be misinformed, disinformed, know a lot, know a little or know nothing?
  • I have stopped watching the news a few years ago. Occasionally i'll check it if something major happens, otherwise i'll hear the important things through others.

    I must admit i am much happier since. So i rather know little :)

  • When Do Debian Packages Receive Updates?
  • Why switch distros? Go to Sid if you want the latest and greatest? Or maybe testing if you want a bit of best of both worlds? :) I'm really curious why you think you need to change distro's.

  • Experiences self-hosting an IRC bouncer?
  • I've been on IRC long before the stone age (so to speak) and its neither dated nor dead.

    Not everyone needs the fancy audio, video and imagery that new protocols provider for. Some of us are content with just text. And for me thats the great value of IRC.

  • My thoughts on Proxmox
  • Proxmox earns most of its money by giving proffessional support.

    If this is your concern, then you can buy support directly from Proxmox, just like you could from VMWare. So if i ever where to leave the company, and there's noone with my skillset (which i think is terrible management, having your company depend on the skills of one person). My boss can sleep just as calmly as before, knowing we pay Proxmox for support.

  • Trump says Tim Cook called him to complain about the European Union
  • I heard this, in a trump voice, in my head 😂

  • Free Software Is Under Attack! (Will You Help Defend It?)
  • I learned something new! So thank you. I didn't know any of this. And every once in a while i'll watch a DT video, and i dont think they are bad. And i dont hate DT :)

  • My thoughts on Proxmox
  • I know plenty of Windows admins who still dont use Powershell as much as they could/should. Which i think is odd, since Powershell is so much better, but i suppose its not easy to change old ways :)

  • Windows 10 only has a year of support: 12 months left to keep Copilot off your desktop or learn Linux
  • I'm a member of several Windows forums.. there's just as much complaining there :-)

  • My thoughts on Proxmox
  • Exactly! :)

    I manage macOS, Linux AND Windows. In the end, they're all the same. Its software that needs management.

  • What is the worst thing your parents ever did to you?
  • I comfort myself with the idea that it must be harder to lose a child. I suppose that will have to be enough :(

  • My thoughts on Proxmox
  • Thankfully i don't consider myself a Linux admin. So i take no offense.

  • My thoughts on Proxmox
  • I suppose thats the difference between Windows admins and Linux admins. Windows admins are used to click their way though things with fancy gui's and wizards :)

    I've been using Proxmox professionally for years now, and not once did i have s problem i could not fix myself. But i'm used to solve problems myself by "digging in deep". Ofcourse it helps that i've been using Linux (mostly Debian) since 1996. There are plenty of guides around to teach how Debian works. Windows admin's who make the switch just need to take the time to read them, watch the video's, do the research.

    The only skills we where born with are the basic survival skills. Everything else is learned along the way. So was using Windows, and so is using Linux.

    But thats just my opinion :)

  • What is the worst thing your parents ever did to you?
  • They died. At very crucial points in my life. My dad 4 years ago, i mom 1.5 months ago.

    Its litterally the worst thing they ever did.

  • Fond memories
  • Ohhh i loved that little bugger!!

  • Apple pauses iPadOS 18 rollout for M4 iPad Pro after bricking complaints
  • And like with Microsoft products, ALWAYS wait untill at least the .1 release.

  • How much money would it take for you to never listen to your favourite artist again?
  • AAAASSSS LOOOONGGG AS YOU LOOOVVEEEE MEEEEE!!! LAAALLALALAAAALALALAAAAAA
