Same here. I'm a Linux advocate (even named my son after the creator) and I definitely manage more Linux than Windows machines but after trying (forcing) Linux on my main workstation I gave up. I need nvidia drivers (for ML and sysadmi

Interesting points but I think it basically doesn't come down to intelligence but rather 1) Do you like what you do for a living 2) Are you happy with the life you have outside the workplace If one of these are chaotic, the other one c

Yes the CCC also mentions router hardware quite a lot. You buy a 20€ wifi router from Mediamarkt or something and the CCC says it should come with a label until which date the router will get updates because the consumer has no idea they bu

When I moved into my new house but the internet fiber was not yet activated I also used a Pi with a Huawei 3g dongle as gateway for my home. Most expensive internet I had to use for 3 weeks. Didn't have any reconnects though but I had

We did get a hand written statement from him and the original evidence (hardware) is still untouched and locked away. In his statement he wrote that the pi logged to the SD card but there was no data on the SD card (well not on the data par

Author of the article here. Since I first published this blog post I was getting messages from people asking how it ended. Sadly it's pretty anticlimactic as the owner of the place had a meeting with the guy who put the Pi there (witho

I love the concept and I even wrote a blog post about how to set up a fully pxe bootable server environment using Alpine Linux [1] (which by default boots from RAM) in 2019. I still use it and it's one of those things that makes recove

Agreed. I tried to implement a simple bot that would notify me about home security stuff but it ended in a rabbit hole that all points to a git comment of one of the devs stating possible account bans if an account is used for automated mes

I've learned a lot from managing school networks for public schools. Thousands of users runnung on either re-purposed or gifted hardware from 8+ years ago. In 2013 I was running a school with 500 students and 70 teachers on a 8GB RAM H

this should be the default user behaviour for any cloud storage. Don't put unencrypted (company) data on a cloud infrastructure you don't have full control over. Also reminds me of the (hyped?) "outrage" when a former fa

I agree to an extent but if you know somebody is saving up for something (eg. niece saving up for a gaming pc) then it's a great gift to bring them closer to their goal. For a co-worker you should probably think a bit harder
