Ive been looking for something like this for a while. Ill need to try it out

Ah, a man of culture

To add to your analogy if i may, the firewall is kind of like a security guard or doorman at the building entrance. All mail has to go through him first and if something is addressed to a closed flat (port) he simply doesnt let it get delivered.

I was recently made aware of the concept of “rubber ducking”. Maybe thats something you were doing without realising

Thanks for the site! What channel are you saying to sign up for? YouTube?

Ive been looking for an alternative auto-pair plugin, so I’ll check this out. Thanks

Excuse you! But also I do hate myself

I started with ubuntu initially, and appreciate the fact that it wasnt entirely foreign to me coming from windows. Being a techy person, whenever something broke I obviously had to use the terminal to fix it (because all forum posts online use it for troubleshooting) but it was nice to ease into it. Once I got comfortable with that I then moved on to more non-windows like distributions, and eventually ended up where I am now - with arch and a tiling window manager - something entirely different to windows. If I had started with this Im not sure I would have stuck it out.

So my take on your take is that while you have valid points, we need to always take situations with context. Sure, I wouldn’t (and don’t) recommend super windows-like distros to the guys at my work (IT) who are more technically capable, but if my grandmother or grandfather used computers and for whatever reason we needed to make the switch to linux, I would try to make the transition as seamless and familiar as possible, so I might even have made their UI look like windows. Computers are tools at the end of the day, and every person has something different they want to get out of them.

Not sure if done on purpose or you didn’t realise at the time, but you basically just (i hope xD) rickrolled the piped devs and anyone else looking at the issues in future for solutions 🤣

Thanks, ill look in there, and ignore that step if it doesn’t exist, then do step 5. :)

Could you please elaborate on the full path for the arch.conf file? I looked at /usr/share/systemd/bootctl/arch.conf and there was no initrd /amd-ucode.img (or intel-ucode.img) line, instead all I had was initrd /initramfs-linux.img

Furthermore, for step 3 I didnt have any entry starting with ALL_microcode=

I have yet to do step 5 fyi. Thank you

Doesnt work that way over here sadly 😁🥲

My DPO basically told me that since reddit told me (I contacted reddit first as per the GDPR) that I can delete my comments myself I should go ahead and do that, and that my case was closed. Even after telling her that there were still 2 comments visible only when my profile is viewed “signed out”, and I provided a screenshot of a regular browser window where I am signed in and an incognito window where I am not, her reply was that once I delete my account they will not be linked to me in any way so they do not violate the GDPR…

Ive been engaged in discussion with my country’s data protection officer since the summer, and the reply I got was that I should delete comments myself. There are 2 comments that appear on my profile only if viewed while I am signed out, and when I raised the concerns with her I basically got the reply that “there is no personal information contained within and once you delete your account there is no username attached to them so you cant be linked with them”. Is she right, and how do I handle this situation?

Lord cat thanks you for your offering and expects more next week

Me too, and an illogically large amount of our work revolves around fixing the HP printers for our staff

My uninformed take on this is that its almost impossible because countries have different power standards. Of course i may be entirely wrong, or correct but with an entirely incorrect reasoning. Please people who actually know correct me below

Brand is HP/Samsung

Yea, I feel like we all had a feeling before even reading that part. Can’t offer any advice other than getting a different brand, as well as this link to a fun little article I read from a few posts above yours in my feed:
