My god…I’ve got to hand it to plex. This is the perfect incident response letter. Love 'em or hate 'em, this is a good example for other CISOs.

Even thicker laptops…I have an HP Envy (that I hate and I want another Lenovo 14")…wifi card is bios locked. I can only replace with another Intel AC card.

Lol. My main PC is Nobora (Fedora fork). My kids laptop is tumbleweed and I’m setting up an HTPC with bazzite.

So…two Fedora, 1 OpenSUSE.

Guess I know where I place on this graph.

Back up! Back up!

Mind ya business y’all. Just mind ya business.

Kinoite is an immutable Linux distro from fedora.

Tho I think, in retrospect, his laptop is still on tumbleweed. Id been meaning to switch.

My kids got into Minecraft.

I gave my oldest an old laptop. Put Kinoite on it. Now he prefers java edition.

Minecraft doesn’t need much. It plays acceptably (for him) on a T460p…I think that’s like a 6th Gen i7…as long as he doesn’t go too crazy with mods.

They aren’t banning the packets tho… I can see how the plastic pouches could be better for the environment than the polypropylene fish tho, but certainly not by much.

Man, it sounds like the ultimate first-world problem, but how are they gonna get soy sauce with takeout sushi without single-use plastics? I imagine the people who get takeout sushi and the people who have a bottle of soy sauce in their fridge are largely different groups. Not to mention the people who get takeout sushi for lunch at work. This may degrade the takeout sushi experience for all of South Australia.

That’s because their motto is “Tread on me harder, daddy” since 2016.

Oh for sure. One of my kids favorite personalities is Mark Rober, who I also mostly approve of. It’s just tough when he does collabs with people who I think are shallow and devoid of content, like Unspeakable. He strikes me as the type of channel who would be a stepping stone to mens rights/incel and then Joe Rogan.

Seriously scared about my kids getting to be old enough to want social media. It’s already so tough trying to explain why I don’t want them watching certain YouTubers.

I honestly feel like I’m sounding crazy talking to them about all the clues that these aren’t people that they should be watching…personalities putting out content that’s objectively brain rot for kids, and obsessed with material wealth, and acting like an Influencer lifestyle is attainable and even desirable.

HTTPS may be the official designation for the port, but it is the de facto standard port for TLS. Whatever you want to send over TLS, doesn’t really matter.

HTTPS is just HTTP served over TLS (originally SSL).

Step by step, if you were to analyze a web connection over port 443, you would see that the client first negotiates the TCP connection (via three-way handshake), then TLS, and it’s not till after TLS is established that HTTPS is negotiated.

In that way, it’s kinda wrong to say it’s the HTTPS port. It’s really, nowadays, the TLS port. HTTP is just one of many protocols that can ride on top of it, and when we do that, we call it HTTPS.

Well I hope Neil Young will remember: Zuckerberg don’t want him around, anyhow.

I know! It seemed totally plausible! There is a very odd discrepancy between that and the general population.

I’m glad that Linus clarified that it was High Resolution Timers. I was honestly thinking they were arguing about Hormone Replacement Therapy.

I’m a network engineer and lately I’ve dived deep on wifi. I feel the same way about wifi.

Will they be raising their rates in India? Because that’s where Spotify thinks I live now.

I’m most of the way to ditching MS entirely on my own systems.

You can do it, Aussie. Bite his freaking head off.

Oh for sure, but at least Alexa’s rankings were rather transparent and somewhat trusted built up on a reputation.

I hadn’t even realized Amazon bought and discontinued the service, but that’s clearly exactly the type of instance that needs to be guarded against. I’m sure that a big part of why Amazon wanted that Alexa gone was because it would show rising competition, and Jeff can’t have that.

But that just tells you all the people that have visited the site and downloaded a script.

I find it hard to believe that OpenMandriva is the most popular distro. I distrohop quite a bit and never even came across it (currently using Nobora on my PC, KDE Neon in the living room, tumbleweed on the kids laptops (though I may move them to silverblue or another immutable), and Pop on my laptop. It takes me a minute when I sit at any console to remember which package manager is the right one)

If you want honest results of actual use on general-purpose PCs…I’d wish for something like Alexa Page Rankings that could get deep enough to know Distro, but that’s not possible (I don’t think, without every distro having its own User Agent signature in the browsers), and Amazon bought Alexa and discontinued those services

Let them eat Congress.
