This is my fourth profile on the Fediverse lol. This time, I’m hoping Mbin is where I stay!
Thank you for this advice. I actually ended up signing up for Grafana and Loki, however Loki and Grafana Cloud Logs were both overkill for my use case. As a result, I ended up going with Loggly after consulting a Reddit thread and that has been working perfectly. Thank you again, though!
Man, I love Debian. It’s not the sexiest distro, but it gets the job done damn well
The Linux Experiment is regularly sponsored by some of them (IE Tuxedo)
How the hell do you even think “it’s fine, I’ll put this password in plain text” when literally building an app for a CREDIT UNION? Obviously it’s not acceptable to do that anywhere, but you would think they would think just a little bit harder about the decision when working with such sensitive data?
Usually, I get blocked on the sign-up page. For example, on the Coralogix sign-up page, it won’t let me create my account with an email with a @gmail.com extension
As others mentioned, Stremio + Torrentio is amazing. Just make sure you use, preferably, RealDebrid with it. If you can’t use RD, you can use a VPN, but it will cost you some playback speed.
PopcornTime as others have mentioned is amazing, but sadly I haven’t heard much about it lately. Honestly, Stremio + Torrentio is way better though in my opinion. It’s easy to set up and has a ton of shows.
This likely breaks your company’s terms of use. This can definitely lead to termination, especially since the other OS would likely not be monitor-able by them (opening them up to potential liability, along with the myriad of other issues)
Thank you for the heads up! The DS3 will always hold a very fond place in my heart - countless hours on Littlebigplanet 2, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3 and Gran Turismo 6 were had on those awesome controllers.
Very, very real haha
The things I tend to gravitate towards:
I see you mentioned JS, but not TS. If you haven’t tried TypeScript, you 100% should! It helps a lot at scale.
Also, I really do recommend Rust. It’s pretty awesome having the errors actually make sense, and it’s not as complicated as the hype makes it out to be (until you get into async rust lol).
As others have mentioned, C# is also awesome.
I’m also a big fan of Mint for this, but also Fedora Kinoite. I can’t say I used Kinoite extensively, but I can say the bit I used it was far more stable than any other distro I used (and the backups-for-free approach really helped my anxiety lol)
Even in that article it says the only info they can provide (due to the no-logging) is payment info and email address.
If you’re doing something illegal and use a credit card attached to your name to do it, Nord is going to hand over your credit card info and they’ll know you did it through their VPN.
Likewise, if you do something illegal with their VPN and use your personal email, same thing.
That being said, I don’t personally use the VPN for anything illegal. If you do, I suppose you should probably either self-host or just Mull, but in my case I like Nord’s Killswitch and Mull’s is notorious for dropping off.
I’m curious to hear why you think that, I’ve been using it for a year and it’s better than ExpressVPN by a long-shot. Very few connectivity problems either and it has a Linux client…
This Gameranx video has a NordVPN sponsorship for a lower rate and 4 free months - it’s pretty dang affordable. If you can afford to get that, I’d definitely do that!
Good catch, sorry. Lubuntu, I just thought it used XFCE and not LXQt
If you happen to be new to Linux, do yourself a favor and start on Linux Mint.
There are no snaps, you can still install pretty much everything you can with Ubuntu, the Cinnamon Desktop is nice (better than Gnome in my opinion, but then again, I haven’t used Gnome that much) and you don’t have to deal with ads in the terminal. Mint is the distro most people should start on.
Yes, this was my experience as well. Linux Lite was literally heavier-weight than Mint on my machine (probably due to the snaps)
