Well I use key-based login for security; obscurity just keeps the network congestion down

You can use any port for ssh. When I switched from 22 to 1337, brute force attempts at logging in stopped

That’s “graphical oowey”, right? /s

I generally just say the letters; the amount of shit I get for saying gee en you…is not actually that much because I usually don’t interact with coding nerds via voice, only text, but if I did they would be livid

Edit: For some reason I try to pronounce Xfce as a word instead of an initialism though, ‘ecks-fiss’. Maybe I’m just broken.

X forwarding is too much work

That happened with Windows 8 and Vista as well. There was a running joke that every other Windows release was garbage when I was growing up.

And the joke works with 8 and 10 both being shitty, because they skipped 9, which would have been the good one.

They really should have gone with Windows Nine, to bring the naming scheme in line with Xbox One while also avoiding the startswith.('Windows 9') issue

This meme is older than windows 8

Backslash is allowed too - how do you escape that?

It’s backslashes all the way down

steam games

That’s cheating, you’re supposed to compile your games yourself

You can pry binary-based terabytes from my cold dead hands

Please return completed form to /dev/null in order for your fuck-up to be assessed by a professional.

Lol

Best I can do is push it worldwide on a Friday morning

Companies use the same software on Linux and Mac systems, and it’s a kernel module there as well; this could have happened to any OS that companies are using it on, it just happened to happen on Windows.

Giving kernel access to outside software is always a risk; these companies chose to take that risk

It was a kernel module, there’s nothing Microsoft could have done

cops exist to protect and serve

Supreme Court says otherwise. It’s just a slogan, not an actual mission statement

I’ve found a couple plugs “upgraded” to 3-prong by jumping the load and ground together. That made for a fun firework show when my metal fan touched something metal. Even the landlord was impressed by that stupidity.

Ah, the good old reverse polarity bootleg ground.

Fun fact: RPBG is the one fault that those plug-in outlet testers can’t recognize

Edit: Wait, no, that would be hot bootleg ground, they should catch that. RPBG has the hot and neutral switched, and also a bootleg ground to the neutral that’s actually hot

Reminds me of a story about magic

That is madness. I love it

I’ve found SMB to more frequently have connection issues with my Linux clients, and often be slower. It’ll work, but if you’re mainly supporting Linux clients, might as well set up NFS if you like toying with things anyways

SMB for the windows clients, possibly NFS as well for the others. *nix will talk with SMB fine, but NFS may be faster. Windows’ NFS support is shit though.

Running both daemons won’t really add much overhead

Flac for storage, turn up the compression level. Transcode to an appropriate format when copying or streaming to a device
