24.04 won’t have Plasma 6, but 24.10 will. In other words, fall 2024.

Or you can use KDE Neon, which is basically Ubuntu LTS, but with the newest Plasma.

You mentioned you changed firewall rules for that device. Any chance you have set outbound rule instead of inbound rule?

Anyway, what’s the output of ip route?

If you know how to use git, you will know how to use docker (provided you know what you want to do). They are completely different programs, yet you can quickly grasp the other instinctively.

Now, Photoshop and Blender - they are also different programs, but if you know Photoshop, you still need to relearn Blender’s interface completely.

This is why I prefer terminal programs in general. Unless it’s more convenient to use GUi, i.e. Drag&Drop file manager, some git tools etc.

Um… what?

If you drive a car, your car needs a license plate. That plate is tied to you. If you commit a crime you’re likely to get reported. Also you can be randomly stopped by police and they will check if you have a driver’s license.

For firearms, as far as I’m concerned, the ammunition has some sort of serial number, which in case of committing a crime, would allow the police to track you by contacting people who sold it to you.

With printer, how then fuck is it going to change anything? Not to mention you can actually quite easily build it yourself.

Why do you need Windows VM for developing GUI apps? Last time I used Visual Studio to make GUI app I almost gave up programming, because of how code-generation dependent it was.

For C# you have AvaloniaUI. For cpp you have countless multi-platform GUI toolkits, same for rust, Java has its own toolkits (multi-platform), and finally you can make an Electron/Tauri app.

The way for your desktop to communicate with the hardware.

It used to be X11 - A server-client architecture, which meant your desktop was effectively just a client that told the server what to do. The server was the one doing the drawing

Wayland is just a protocol, defining how programs and desktop should communicate with each other - without a middleman that was X11 server. The desktop does the actual drawing here.

The main argument to use password managers to prevent password leaks to all of your services (that you use with the same login/email). You can’t trust any service to store your password securely, therefore you should use different ones everywhere.

Using a password manager gives you the convenience of using one, strong password that’s being used very securely, and mitigating risk of password leaks spreading further.

If you abstract it that way, it by no means eliminates the risk of someone breaking into your database, but makes it harder and from a single entry point, instead of any service that uses your password.

Plus many of those password managers give you an option to use YubiKey for additional security.

Oh and also you won’t ever need to press “forgot password” ever again due to the arbitrary requirements that your password doesn’t pass, so you modify it slightly so it would.

It’s a go to solution for scientific papers.

Have an actual sane developer experience? There is a reason why almost every developer that uses Windows actually uses WSL.

I used to, but I need to get my job done, not play with configuring it for hours just to achieve what VSCode does out of the box. Plus settings sync is great.

although I’m not a TWM user I like to just press super and type the first letters of the program I’m looking for to open it.

It will never stop to amaze me how many people don’t know it’s a feature in every major DE and every Windows starting from Vista.

Even on Windows 10/11, just tap windows key and start typing without clicking anywhere.

My list of FOSS I use everywhere (these work in Win and Linux):

• Open Tablet Driver - if you’ve got the drawing tablet it probably supports it. You can customize everything and has even built-in plugin manager.

• Krita - GIMP alternative with non-destructive editing capabilities.

• yt-dlp - download videos from almost any video sharing service, even TikTok, Instagram etc.

• neovim - for quick file edits

• vscode/vscodium with vim plugin - my IDE for everything

• ffmpeg - forget handbrake - you can do even basic video editing here. Join two videos together? Done. Add audio to video? Done. Crop part of the video without reencoding it? Done. Loop a video to 10 hours without reencoding it? Done in matters of seconds.

• kdenlive - an actual video editor that is 100% FOSS, doesn’t suck and works on Windows and Linux.

• imagemagick - ffmpeg for images

Nah. Nvidia is still Nvidia, but 2 years ago or so they finally gave up and started supporting GBM and even opened part of their driver stack.

Some things, like hardware encoder are even easier to set up than AMD’s counterpart. (Mainly because Nvidia proprietary driver being supported better than AMD’s proprietary driver)

What? Pipewire has been working out of the box for like 2 years

You can just as easily have keylogger running in backround as clipboard sniffer.

Browsers don’t have permission to read clipboard, just change them (unless you specifically give them permission to read it).

As you can see no benefits not using PM. It’s in fact safer, because if databade with non-hashed passwords leaks, your password doesn’t because it’s different for every service.

You need to try a lot “plant-based meat” products. Many of them are meh and taste like meat flavored cardboard, but I’ve personally found some that taste waaaay better than meat.

Markdown has code blocks with syntax highlighting.

If you expect results in given time and you’re not getting it, you’re gonna have talk with employee, WFH or office, doesn’t matter.

The “productivity” is an illusion and always has been.

Except age rating is a joke - especially 18+. I get that many games are violent, contain sex scenes, drugs etc., but in my eyes 18 is a barrier when you become responsible for your actions, which would imply playing 18+ games is dangerous like alcohol and cigarettes, while it’s just a PEGI’s way of saying “Somebody said fuck several times”.

Like Witcher 3 obviously fits into 18+, but not because it’s should be 18+, but we got used to these games being 18+. At the age of 14 in school I was required to read Sapkowski’s novels, but god forbid you play Witcher 3.

They are great:

1. Convenience - no more forgot password because of arbitrary condition of having two digits and min. 16 characters etc.
2. Security - when db leaks and somehow the service you registered for wasn’t hashing passwords properly, it’s just random set of characters instead of combination of email and password you probably use for a lot of other things.
