It’s not because you can’t check on Windows, that it doesn’t exist ! I’m sure there are a lot of different boot issue logs in Windows, they are just hidden behind a “beautiful” Welcome page.

Or the EU might revisit that old SuSe/Mandrake strategy.

They actually are ! I have seen a few posts talking about it. Not sure about SuSe/Mandrake, but they are talking to implement Linux or try to somehow get away from Microsoft.

Sorry you getting down voted this much ! Your account is relatively new so I assume it’s your first time on Lemmy.

While this is a relatively innocent question, Lemmy user base is mostly arround open source, alternatives, degoogling…

Your question would probably be better in Apple/iPhone community rather in a more “global” community like asklemmy.

Hope you will still enjoy your stay :)

Edit: Also read the community info rules !

Is that even possible? I’m already in panic when I remove a package and it’s dependencies with pacman 😅.

Sure I did replaced Thunar with Nemo, but a few things don’t work exactly how it should, like opening the download directory from Firefox (Known issue BTW) even though all mime-types are correctly set !

Even switching from Alternative -> Base distro seems like a really difficult task :/

Naah ! Most flac I have are in the 50/80 range but when you have a huge library it doesn’t make sense to archive in flac IMO.

It makes sense if you are music producer, but my whole library would need a huge SSD cluster :/

Yeaaah ! That’s even better ! However, I’m listening to some obscure Electronic music which often doesn’t come in flac format :(

They are probably scared of Ninjas? 😁

Maybe enjoy crispy 128 .opus? Yeah flacs are on another level… But 100MB/file just doesn’t justify the negligeable quality increase you won’t even notice anymore in your late 40s !

However, saving TB of disk space does !

Yeah Lemmy is very Linux oriented :). Though I do agree Linux is harder to get into but that’s not because GNU/Linux is difficult, it’s because we were so much accustomed to how Windows work !

I don’t really remember because it has been ages, but I’m sure my first steps with Windows 98 where awful and not easy and intuitive at all !

Linux has a lot of issues so does Windows (and MacOS) and learning a whole new paradigm of a working system takes time and some investement, but after you get the basic gists, Linux gives you total control of everything ! (Like to see hidden directories is like Windows, just a check box to show hidden files :) don’t need a CLI for that)

You rarely need the use of the Terminal when on easier distributions like PopOS or Ubuntu (while I wouldn’t suggest the later), However if you tried more difficult distribution first (like arch and derivatives), CLI is mandatory !

Not saying YOU should switch, do whatever makes you happy, more productive and vibes with your current needs/feeling…

However, If you feel the need to switch the Linux community will always welcome you :) Keep in mind, there are good people and a**holes everywhere !

Glad you solved your issue with massgrave, which is a great tool :) ! Have fun with your system !

Edit: Sorry for the off topic XD discussion got a bit heated up haha ! I’m kinda surprised it didn’t got deleted !

Yeah I learned that the hardway when comparing MacOS/linux USB speed…

Took like “seconds” on Linux. I looked quite dumb asking a question and asking for help on Lemmy while shitting (again) on my Mac !

I have somewhere in my notes a command to show interactively how the memory cache gets dumped into my USB stick.

Kinda boggus that’s an over 20 years old known “issue”.

I am not interested in Linux.

A better example to show that SMS’ are insecure are the Signalling system 7 protocols.

While it is possible to incerpte SMS, phone calls and 2FA (kinda scary…) it comes with a high cost (14k) and some technical skills.

However, if you are a vulnerable target, just don’t use SMS or any smartphone. Geotracking is also possible !

The 2 big players in the self-hosted community are:

• Mealie

• Grocy

I have them both on my to do list but haven’t gotten into to give any feedback :/

Somehow… But It feels like the EU gives you the impression of privacy while it tries to takes it back another way… (Chat control)

The EU says it’s for “the kids” and France says it’s for narcotrafic…

:/

My god does it feel good to read something so well written and not by AI ! <3 Nice blogpost I went through the whole post !

However, I felt kinda uneasy to read about privacy and data collection and then seeing Google Voice being proposed as VoIP solution… :/

I was quite impressed by how it looks and the free option ! However, seeing Google tag manager and tiktok analytics domains and I’m already out !

Tmux has probably some specific features Kitty won’t do as good as a native multiplexer? (sorry I’m not the right person to ask this question :s) but It has the features I’m looking for without the need to install one.

It was quite cumbersome to configure a terminal + a multiplexer on MacOS to behave how I liked it. Kitty solved this issue while being fast, simple and a lot of customization in one single app.

One feature that was really important, copy/past over SSH with Micro which involved quite a hacky thing with iTerm2 + Tmux.Also being able to split my windows, create tabs…

But as I said I have only basic use cases and can’t really say If Kitty’s multiplexing features are on par with Tmux. However, during my web search I read about a lot of people far more knowledge than myself who actually switch to kitty from Tmux without regrets !

Yeah Alacritty was my second pick, but after reading their documentation it seemed more for people accustomed to Vi and the like.

So yeah that’s not something I’m willing to spare some time right now, anyway I’m mostly doing some “sys admin” stuff in my homelab, so simple text editing in a simple terminal is a better fit in my workflow/learning process !

Kitty is probably the best terminal emulator I’ve ever tried out… It even made me drop Tmux as multiplexer on my stupid Mac !

I only have basic use case right now, nothing complex but customization seems way above others.

The full OSC52 integration with micro for copy/past over SSH and taking up the terminal clipboard was also a game changer (nearly dropped micro because of this…)

I only scratched the surface and have only basic usage and still I can’t believe one single person is behind this project (I think?).

Yeah most seedboxers are just the new leechers of this generation… Keeping up their ratio about an unreasonable amount where they can leech everything they want without the need to give back…

They just stay for the necessary amount of time specified by their private tracker and leave the queue afterwards.

IMO seedboxes should have another rule associated to them… Straight to 1 month seeding time or get a hit&run warning !
