If it works it works.
  • In frustration I switched from fedora to manjaro on my laptop and it has fixed almost all the issues I had even though fedora is the recommended distro by Framework. Dunno why but in all my time using Linux (even back to when netbooks were a thing) Arch based ones have consistently given me the least issues even though I'm far from an expert.

  • Can somebody solve this puzzle?
  • My bank's password used to have to be exactly 6 characters, no special characters and you could use numbers and letters interchangeably because it was also your phone banking password.

  • Conservative Party Experiences Largest Decline Since Pierre Poilievre Assumed Leadership
  • Polling is essentially meaningless until an election is called, and given none of the parties are making policy promises at this point it is more of a state of sentiment about the current government.

    I really hope that whoever gets elected this next election that they only get a minority so there is at least some chance of ensuring they don't do anything too extreme.

  • Common printing questions
  • Pretty much all the reasons I can't stand most 3D Printing communities on the internet. Too much basic troubleshooting answered dozens of times already and not enough cool projects.

  • acceptable screws
  • The big issue I see with people driving Phillips screws is that they don't use a large enough driver size. Computer screws for example are Phillips #2 and I've never had an issue with them stripping.

  • 196
  • Having my lights automatically controlled is nice. They turn on just before sunset, then I have my lamp in my bedroom turn on just before I head to bed normally so I can get straight into bed and hit a button to make the room dark.

    I have a few other things connected to Home Assistant like my 3D printer and an air quality meter just to have a dashboard for how things are in my place. But I have zero interest in appliances being connected to the internet. Especially anything that could be dangerous if it malfunctioned.

  • Is there really much of a difference in this case? If your on prem software has a vulnerability and it is connected to the internet then it is just as vulnerable as the same software on a cloud provider. I would argue the cloud one is more likely to be set up more securely.

    Cloud certainly has some different risks but I can't definitively say it is short sighted and more risky compared to an on prem solution that a typical IT department would implement.

  • Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?
  • There is always some issue I run into that makes me angry and go back to Windows. Usually it is some random issue that breaks my installation at the most annoying time that I don't have time to fix.

    I've tried twice recently to mainly run Linux on my laptop (Framework) and ran into compatibility issues. First, the wireless card in my laptop worked on the installed kernel version for their recommended distro (Fedora), but when I updated the OS it upgraded to a kernel that didn't have the Wifi driver. The other distros I tried had other hardware that didn't work. I tried again a few months ago and that was fixed, but then I discovered that two pieces of software I need to run cannot coexist because one had graphical issues if you don't use Wayland and the other only supports xorg. No issues running the same combination of software in Windows.
