Aegis looks great - I'll give this a shot. Thanks for the recommendation!
This looks pretty good. Will look into this option for sure. Thanks for the suggestion!
I forgot about Codeberg - I'll look into that and Gitlab as alternatives. Thanks for the suggestions.
You can choose among multiple options to add a second source of authentication to your account.
Just wondering what people are using to meet the 2FA requirement GitHub has been rolling out. I don't love the idea of having an authenticator app installed on my phone just to log into GitHub. And really don't want to give them my phone number just to log in.
> Last year, we announced our commitment to require all developers who contribute code on GitHub.com to enable two-factor authentication (2FA)...
Vorta is a great program for backing up files. Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
The best part is it works with Android as well. Whenever I turn my computer on, all my photos on my phone sync to my computer to a folder that gets regularly backed up (using Vorta which is an excellent and easy to use open source backup program for Windows, Linux, and Mac)
I haven't had the laptop long enough to know what happens after updates. However, if Microsoft wants to reset any of the changes or reinstall software or features, they will regardless of what methods or tools you've used to debloat. I like this tool because it's easy to run and can be done periodically (like after major updates) without much hassle. And it's open source on GitHub which I very much appreciate.
Here's a really nice script to debloat a new Windows install. I bought a new Windows 11 laptop and this made it super easy:
The lump sum payout for the $1.3 billion was $621 million. Lottery winnings are taxed as income putting the winner in the 37% federal tax bracket leaving $391.2 million. After taking out Oregon state taxes, the winner would be left with $329.8 million.
The after tax amount for an Oregon winner selecting the cash payout would be $329.8 million.
Check out the "Screen Rotate" gnome extension (by shyzus). It adds a button in the gnome quick settings menu that allows you to disable auto rotate, and has the option to add a button to manually switch between portrait or landscape rotation.
I bought a brand new Lenovo Yoga laptop, and when connecting to my TV via HDMI, the TV occasionally goes black for a second or 2 then comes back. It doesn't happen at all when streaming video full screen, only when doing something simple like browsing the Internet. Happens with Windows and Linux, although it's more frequent on Linux.
When turning off my Samsung TV, every once in a while it decides to turn itself back on about 5 minutes later. This has been going on for several years now.
It doesn't happen every time, and seems to happen randomly as I can't replicate the conditions in which it happens. It didn't happen when I bought the TV, so I suspect it started after Samsung pushed a firmware update. It's a bug others are experiencing with the same model TV and I've tried every fix people suggested online, factory reset the TV, and updated the firmware. My conclusion is that it's a bug that Samsung needs to fix, but I'm confident they won't given the TV is about 5 years old now.
I just started having an issue where the night light stopped working in Ubuntu 23.10. I eventually found out it was because the color profiles were being reset. After setting them again, the issue comes back, and then after a couple reboots the color profile setting says there are no displays detected that can be assigned a color profile. I did a fresh install today and the problem came back.
Why isn't KDE Neon ever recommended? It seems like it would be a solid option.
Where did you buy it? Looking for something similar for myself.
Quite interesting. Thank you for the information!
I currently have a Dell laptop that runs Windows for work. I use an external SSD via the Thunderbolt port to boot Linux allowing me to use the laptop as a personal device on a completely separate drive. All I have to do is F12 at boot, then select boot from USB drive.
However, this laptop is only using 1 of the 2 internal M.2 ports. Can I install Linux on a 2nd M.2 drive? I would want the laptop to normally boot Windows without a trace of the second option unless the drive is specified from the BIOS boot options.
Will this cause any issues with Windows? Will I be messing anything up? For the external drive setup, I installed Linux on a different computer, then transferred the SSD to the external drive. Can I do the same for the M.2 SSD – install Linux on my PC, then transfer that drive to the laptop?
Any thoughts or comments are welcome.
Edit: Thank you everyone! This was a great discussion with a lot of great and thoughtful responses. I really appreciate the replies and all the valuable information and opinions given here.
Here's a few that I know of. What other things are commonly running Linux that most people may but be aware of?
- Ingenuity (helicopter drone on Mars)
- Smart TVs and streaming devices (Samsung's TizenOS and Roku devices)
- Smart appliances (Samsung's smart refrigerator)
- Digital signs and billboards
- My car stereo (Sony XAV-AX6000)
- The Large Hadron Collider
- FAA Air traffic control and radar systems
- Self driving cars
If you're from a non English speaking country, do you first have to learn English if you want to get into programming?
I've recently switched to Firefox mobile on Android after having used Opera mobile for the past 10+ years.
The feature I absolutely love on Opera mobile is it will dynamicly wrap text and adjust the page layout to a single column when you zoom in/out. So for pages with small text, you can zoom in to see enlarged text and just scroll down to read - where on all other browsers you would have to scroll horizontally back and forth to read the enlarged text.
Opera has been doing this brilliantly for at least 10 years, and I have yet to see this on any other browsers I've tried. Does this functionality exist within Firefox, or is there a plugin that can do this?
I know the correct answer is to stop using Facebook, but there's a couple communities I follow for certain updates I can't get anywhere else.
Is there a good third party open source app for Android?
