I think powershell is considered a scripting language. Even though the version that is included with windows is outdated you can still do quite a bit with it. And if you can use WSL you basically have all the linux cli stuff available to yo

I have heard great things about PopOS but haven't tried it personally. Hopefully you find the right distro for you.

Have you considered Fedora? I recently moved from Arch to Fedora and I have all the same up to date vanilla packages without having to do any real work.

Also I think snap is an Ubuntu thing vs flatpak and appimage which are more distro agnostic. That's my issue with it/Ubuntu. They are doing good things, but at the same time I don't feel they are as "open" as other

I'm doing the same for my personal/home lab stuff. I've been using https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns for the dns server running on a small vps for all my internal certificates and I haven't had an

Out of curiosity, is there any consensus on what parts of the world might be underwater or a desert once this plays out? I'm not a climate scientist, but I'm curious after these comments if there is some way to know what changes w

My children's school district uses meet and google classroom. I think it's pretty common in schools in the US.

I agree being able to change the temperature settings from a phone would be convenient, but they've had "smartish" thermostats capable of relatively complex temperature schedules for at least 20 years. No need for an internet

Also if the answer is try using another Google product(chromecast) to get a good experience that kind of validates Roku's complaint.

I'm using openWRT on a Zyxel Armor Z2 router. Today they are $170 on Amazon. The flashing process was exactly the same as the factory firmware. After that I had to configure it just as I would any new router. It's better than the

I feel like something similar happened with me middle of last year. I was studying for an Azure certification and deployed a few ubuntu servers. Around that time I received an email from someone named Aldo with 'Business Development&#

This looks very interesting! Headphone jack and everything! I have an Pixel2 and was thinking I'd get an iPhone next, but I'm really turned off by Apple's behaviour lately. I also don't want to send more money to Google.

I started to reply earlier in the thread and then decided not to, but basically what I wanted to say was this. I have used Linux as a daily driver desktop for years, but I don't just buy random hardware and expect it to work. I do some

I personal prefer reading docs/books/blogs in that order. I also occasionally watch some live programming videos casually when I'm not focusing on anything and I've learned some things that way. For example, if they do s

I had no intention of being annoying. Apologies for that. I only meant to offer some optimism. I understand your point of view, and I respect it.

I think people have felt the same about having children throughout most of history. Do you want a child born into slavery? Do you want a child subject to a totalitarian government? Do you want a child born into extreme poverty or famine? I

Probably better to run a container or VM behind a VPN to do "VPN" things there, and normal stuff on the host.

Is this true? As I explained in another post, I used to work at a small ISP many years ago. We did not monitor anything, but we did get emails from MPAA people (my memory is a little fuzzy) about an IP downloading a something. We would the

In the long long ago I worked at a small regional ISP. We offered dial-up and dsl. Users were assigned whatever IP was available when they connected, and this was logged (including disconnect time). So, it was very easy to search the logs

Worked for me too! The only downside was (on Arch) having to recompile to update the v4l2loopback_dc kernel module after ever kernel update. I've since moved on to a regular webcam though.

This is an excellent question! I wouldn't be surprised if notifying someone that their subscription is cancelled due to inactivity would cause them to suddenly value their subscription. I bet you're right.

Why not? I use a tiling wm and I love it. I'm able to make my desktop act exactly the way I want it to act. I don't appreciate my windows being rambunctious. If I'm on a machine without a tiling wm I generally using everythi

I use powershell on linux occasionally. Primarily with the azure and powercli modules. For doing vmware and azure stuff I can't think of anything that hasn't worked. If you want to do anything that would be windows only then you&#

That's how I read it also. Take for example Kurt Cobain (whatever you think of him and his music). He had major success in music, but his life was a disaster and not something I'd hope for a loved one. I do agree that it seems lik
