Yep, companies give “unlimited PTO” because it’s a way to actually reduce the amount of PTO employees take.

Give them 20 days PTO/year? They’ll take around 20 a year.

Give them unlimited PTO? They need to justify every bit of PTO, so probably only get to take 4 or 5 for important days.

If you have docker containers and other stuff all on that USB drive I’d really reccomend getting it all off that USB (not just logging) and onto a proper drive of some kind. USB thumb sticks are not reliable long term storage, you will wake up to find the drive failing one day and good chance you lose everything on it with little to no warning.

My guess is log files are being written to it? Might want to install a proper drive internally and redirect log storage. With less activity the USB drive should not heat up anywhere near as much.

X is deprecated, you should have moved into systemd-Y

You should change to Arch, I don’t use X but Arch is better.

It does not whip the llamas ass.

Games need to live closer to the bleeding edge than a lot of other software.

Also, for wine/proton, and the other customisations built into the deck, it makes sense to pick a starting point that is more built for customisation. By that I mean there was probably less things they needed to add or remove at the start.

As mentioned, it’s also likely there was personal bias internally. But even that can be a valid reason as they need to be familiar/comfortable with the starting distro.

Not saying that Debian cannot do it, but doing it this way probably made valve’s employees lives easier.

CHANGE HIM!

FEED HIM!

SWADDLE HIM!

CHANGE HIM AGAIN!

AND AGAIN!

HOW DOES SUCH A SMALL BEING MAKE SO MUCH POOP?!

Oooh the registry is even more fun.

• HKLM, HKCU? These are statements dreamt up by the utterly deranged
• Store it in software, make your own root folder
• Also for 32 bit programs there wow6432node
• There’s also the policies section, but this kind of makes sense to have it split off
• Also make sure to follow the apple methodology of having multiple different key names like Apple, Apple inc., etc

Don’t forget that appdata nowadays has 3 sub folders, local, locallow, and roaming.

Also there’s C:\programdata

Also some programs just store it in the user folder, the documents folder, or games/ my games folder if they are a game.

Nothing too special, just had to do some fiddling to get the Apache reverse proxy working correctly. Now I believe they have a pre-made example for it, but back then they only had nginx. I stick with Apache because that’s still what I know. Might start learning nginx, but my main work isn’t in web stuff.

Mine is nice and quick in regards to the web interface and general functions. However I run it on a server at home and my upload speed isn’t the best, so if I need to pull a larger file (Files On Demand enabled) then obviously the transfer speed of the file is a bit sluggish.

Hosted on a VM with 16GB RAM, 4 cores. Using the NextcloudAIO docker deployment option, all behind an Apache reverse proxy (I have a bunch of other services on another VM that all have reverse proxy access in place as well).

They don’t care. It’s the film industry equivalent to the Microsoft support scammers. Get a bunch of targets, spam out hundreds of thousands of threatening emails, profit off the small percent of people who fall for it.

Red pill. I have so many new ideas on how to ruin my life!

Sadly with all this evil crap now days, they’ll bring it back in a few weeks or months, rename it to the "won’t somebody think of the children API"with a massive ad campaign saying anyone or any website not using the API are r*ping kids…

Yes.

The purpose of multi factor authentication is that it requires multiple factors, that can be:

• what you know (password)
• what you have (yubikey, phone with authenticator app, etc)
• where you are (in the office vs at home)
• what device you’re on

These are the most common examples.

They should just call it the family wreath.

A sane firewall configuration should have no/minimal impact on a desktop focused OS.

On the other hand, sometimes programs are really badly made and expect stupid things like there being no firewall.

You should have one yes, but to each their own.

I manage a bunch of windows computers and regularly make adding firewall rules part of install scripts, good example: Dreamweaver.

I always think of it like this song: https://genius.com/Heidevolk-a-wolf-in-my-heart-lyrics

Except replace the word heart with ass.

There’s a wolf

In my ass

And it’s fighting to survive

Don’t be part of the problem. Be part of the solution! Start shopping for underwear at Victoria’s Secret, Honey Birdette, etc.

The only downside is occasionally not being sure who’s underwear is who’s. Also it might not fit guys as well, but that can be excused for the extra style.
