I honestly think that's the contrary: it's the laziest choice possible when you want something to work immediately without thinking too much about it. Till like 7 years ago I made literally every script to do "personal"…
The best Smart TV is the one that is just 24/24 HDMI connected to your old Linux laptop with a GUI tweaked to act as a Smart TV with an air mouse as remote.
Exactly my thoughts. To avoid out-of-regulation tweaking coudn't they just allow signed code to run? How can I be sure that this closed for, i.e. surveillance reasons? One can publish the source code and still prevent…
Yes our platform is developed on .NET Framework, adopts Microsoft SQL-server and it's deployed on IIS servers. These are old company choices related to legacy support for some customers that we (the "new" generation…
I think that for the "casual user" distros (like Mint) the set up problem is not an issue if you can choose the PC before. For eventual friends that want Linux I always tell them to find a second-hand T-series ThinkPad.…
I use it on my "corporate job" PC because our architecture is based on .NET and we are still forced to adopt it (at least until we'll definitely pass to .NET Core becoming a bit more agnostic). All I can say is that…
I'm not up on gaming on Linux because I'm not a gamer (in last 12 months I played no more than 10 hours for that Stellantis game I found on Steam because it's natively compatible with Linux, and never tried…
My parents (both over 80) daily use Linux Mint for a decade now. They don't know it, simply last time we bought them a PC I put it there, explained how to open the web browser, play solitaire/FreeCell/whatever other…
Not saying that $17 a month is a fair price, but we should not forget that "YouTube tier content" includes all the music. Its value is a solid 10$ a month imho.
This is simply beautiful
I was specifically thinking of France, and how you just have to ask for "une carafe d'eau", to get free water at restaurant. In most parts of Italy, especially in the south, you usually get free water at the bar, if you…
Maybe a dumb question, but what are the advantages of such products compared to just configuring a "plain" wireguard server i.e. on OpenBSD? I'm not a network expert and still it was pretty simple. Do these products…
Funny how everyone talks about the Chinese "great firewall" that blocks access towards some western platforms from China, and no one talks about "USA great firewall" that blocks Cuban citizen from acceding to a lot of…
He's referring to the actual website, which doesn't give you the option of reject profilation cookies (mandatory in Europe). I commented about another website posted here few days ago. It gets me mad too
Someone is trying to bring back the good old days through the Brutalist Web Design Manifesto https://brutalist-web.design/
That's basically a US layout with some tweaks. Nice try muricans... Jokes aside, honestly I feel confident with US (or ISO/UK) keyboard and I think that I share this sensation with the vast majority of european…
This comment hits very hard, I can fully relate with this. Also pre-covid I often worked in peripherals zones of Rome, one of the worst cities in Europe about traffic and public transport. I still have nightmares about…
Now that I know about the existence of this generation of acoustic attacks I would like to have the possibility to insert a second "master password" different from the main one, that instead of letting me directly…
I know that it's kind of OT, but why does this website force the user to accept third-party cookies? There's only the "Accept" button with no possibility to reject anything. Is this even legal?
Why 'half broken "phone"'? I used GrapheneOS for a while now, it works pretty well imho, the only problem I encountered till now is with maps. Finding a good and no-play-services maps app is a major issue. I use OsmAnd…
I took an old laptop and transformed it into an Arch Linux based smart-tv (thanks to a stabilized "air mouse" and AwesomeWM to configure windows positions and shortcuts through LUA). Now I basically do everything…
