Apolitical Rule
  • "The Finals" has different approach - you, as a real person, play video game, in which you control a character while in inner "virtual reality".

    Or you know - controlling a virtual character to kill other virtual characters isn't so bad, isn't it? 😅

  • Germany passes law to legalize cannabis - the ninth country to do so
  • While Germany attempts to legalize cannabis, in Lithuania you can buy alcohol Mon-Sat from 10:00 to 20:00, except Sundays, where you have 3 hours window, from 12:00 to 15:00...

    If it happens that cannabis is legalized in many Eu countries, I am pretty sure that Lithuania might start considering it in 10-30 years. 🙆

    But oh well, I'll simply travel more. I liked Berlin when I visited it few months back. :)

  • Avast fined $16.5 million for ‘privacy’ software that actually sold users’ browsing data
  • If you intentionally start downloading malicious binaries and scripts, then no freaking magic AI-accelerated from the future anti-virus would protect you.

    In Linux we don't download any binaries (.exe) at all. Everything is from trustes repositories, which, btw, are validated using checksums and TLS certificates. Not perfect, but like 99.9% more secure than going to phishing site and downloading binary.

  • When Pi-hole is down?
  • On Mikrotik I have a script that runs every 30sec. If pi-hole not responding, router switches to public cloudflare dns records, otherwise to pi-hole IP.

    This setup works like a charm.

    P.S. I am using Blocky, but it's almost the same as Pi-Hole.

    EDIT: Since at least 2 guys asked how to do it:

    https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?p=866934#p866934

    Don't forget to configure Mikrotik router to act as passthrough DNS server with cache (for performance) and configure DHCP server's DNS to router's IP.

  • KDE Goes and Does It (Double-Click By Default, That Is) - OMG! Linux
  • Honestly I just love that Plasma closely resembles the Windows 10/11 UI. Not that I like Windows, but because I have to deal with Windows from time to time.

    Switching between Gnome UI and Windows 10/11 UI requires an effort to me. Switching betweek Plasma and Windows - almost no difference.

    Plasma is fucking great!

  • Private and/or cheap places to register a domain
  • For self hosting, I've purchased .eu domain for ~24€, for 5 years. Later on it will be 11€/year.

    I'll get another domain for similar price and for 5 years. :)

    Lithuanian service, so I am not going to mention it. :)

    EDIT: typo, 11€ per year instead of month
