git is already a decentralized version control software. Your local git repos are mirrors by themselves.

Put some git fetch in a server crontab, and you’re done. You can access them via ssh if your user have permissions.

Everywhere, except India, it’s about 3%.

With India the average is a bit more than 4%.

target the largest market segment to gain the most conversions.

Windows market share is bigger in desktop only. In fact, is kinda sad that still there are serious institutions using Windows for non-desktop stuff. I hope this incident changes it.

the real difference is you need a few decades of linux experience to fix anything in a timely manner.

[ citation needed ] Probably you are meaning desktop again. Although troubleshooting Windows is not easy task neither, there are way more desktop users familiar with it.

The real thing is

• 1. There is no single “linux” OS. There are lots of different OSes based on Linux kernel. And they are for servers, desktop, embedded systems, smartphones, etc.
• 2. More important. Security is a process, not a product from a vendor. The root cause of this incident is that some institutions are seeing that you just buy “security”, install it, and call it a day. No important stuff should auto-update. And no institution should auto-update lots of important stuff at the same time.

So, Linux is not really more secure. But is built in a culture where security is taken more seriously.

Sorry, I can’t hear you over the artillery noise.

As a spanish/romance speaking person: ahahahah LOL!

Where do you thing “gratis” and “libre” come from?

Wait.

Does Portainer ask your email? I haven’t used it in years. I though it was just a container that you run, with mounted docker socket, and that’s it.

Is it now doing some “telemetry” and sending user data, like email, to their servers? If so, I’m glad I’m not using that anymore.

Well, thank you for pointing me to this project. Didn’t know about it. I’ve just built it. So, the part of I’ll do my best to see what can I help with applies here to.

The project management may have some obvious problems (jOin dIsc0Rd sErVEr; w0rD “thEy” t0o p0liTicAl). But we really need an alternative to browsers funded by Google (Chrome and Firefox).

So I’ll do my best to actually build from sources and see what can I help with. Attacking the author is helping nobody.

And for the folks who are saying “wHy n0t rUst”, you can always show me the (rust) code.

VPS + VPN is the cheapest option I believe for the services. It doesn’t have to be “elaborated”.

You can port-forward public VPS ports to your private addresses/ports. If you don’t want to use iptables you can use firewalld.

The only “but” will be latency. For gaming it won’t perform as you may need.

It’s no longer open source. Big Deal in my books.

Vault features are cool. I really like it. But with Hashicorp now there is this big risk of “rug pulling” regarding its license.

The wise thing, in my opinion, is to avoid this company as much as possible.

“Have taken up farming.”

Oh, it’s gonna use polkit. Sudo bloat is a grain of sand compared to polkit.

Why people want to replace sudo with polkit? Visudo is no near as obscure as configuring polkit.

I hope distro maintainers don’t follow this.

I used a hand dust blower intended for photography gear. I opened the laptop, blew the dust, disconnected the SSD and blew the socket and it’s surroundings.

Now I will monitor the logs and see if it helps.

Thanks.

I opened it. All cables were looking good. I used a hand blower to clean the dust. Taked out the SSD and blew the socket and everything around.

Now I’m going to monitor if it keeps happening.

OK. I’ll use a dust blower for photography gear. Thanks. Let’s see if it works.

I did a short and a long test. It looks good

[…] by replacing the motherboard, by replacing the processor, by reseating the NVME drive in its slot, by verifying that your power supply is reliable…

I will start with the cheapest option 😅

I assume the power supply is reliable. Having a battery should make it more stable I guess.
