Since it’s a wall art project, now get it to run Minecraft and run a redstone computer on it.

Yep. As a Gen Xer with a teenage son, when I hear my peers freaking out about our kids and technology, I remind them what our parents said about MTV.

That went well.

This was the most informative thing I read on the internet today. I can’t wait to go start a blog.

• Theoretically Yes, if your Linux partition is not encrypted, any OS can read it. Password protecting it doesn’t do anything to conceal your data, just keeps people from logging into your system while Linux is booted. If this is a security / privacy related question, there is nothing to stop a program running under Windows from reading the data on your Linux partition except

• Practically No, depending on the filesystem you chose (if you went with the default, it’s likely ext4 but could be something more exotic). Out of the box Windows lacks the software / drivers to read most Linux filesystems. If this is a “can I access my files” question, you probably need to install something like this to read your data from Windows. Note that the reverse is not true. Most distros other than light weight distros like Alpine are perfectly able to read the NTFS file system out of the box. Sometimes they can’t write to it unless you install additional tools (like OOTB Debian probably can’t, but I’m pretty sure OOTB Linux Mint can if you change a setting and IDK about OOTB Ubuntu / Fedora / Arch).

The easiest way to share data between Windows and Linux is with a 3rd partition formatted to FAT32, as both Linux and Windows have no problem reading from / writing to it without additional software.

EDIT: The other poster is absolutely correct. The modern way to do this is with exFAT. What can I say? I’m a crusty old engineer.

It’s very likely that adware / spyware / malware targeting Windows users will NOT be able to read Ext4 or other Linux filesystems, unless it’s specifically targeted to do so, so you do have that added “security through obscurity” protection.

We’re also using Forgejo for a small consulting team working on lots of different projects for a lot of different clients.

A couple of our team members who came from a more complex and scaled environment (particularly our DevOps / SRE guy who’s worked at such places as LinkedIn and Snowflake) want to move us to Gitlab because it’s “more powerful” but I like Forgejo because it’s just super simple. Just does exactly what I need, doesn’t give me to many more options.

We have

• Projects segregated into teams, organized by client (so only those working on a specific client’s projects have access to their repos).
• Able to invite clients and put them into the team for their project (we’ve had a couple clients that want that).
• Able to automate deployments with webhooks (this was pretty easy to get working).

One of our devs wanted to use Actions. It’s hard to get that working and (at least a month ago) there were warnings that Actons aren’t mature yet and are probably insecure (looks like that may have changed with the recent jump to Forgejo 8.0). I think it’s now a non issue for us though because we were like “Dude, stop trying to role your own CI/CD, that’s why we have two infrastructure people!”

As a security professional, what finally got me to move from Apache to NGINX was OpenResty.

I sometimes still put Apache behind it, depending on my goals.

RHEL --> Debian in the sense that RHEL is a root distro from which the others spring. But there the similarities very much end.

Linux uh… Finds a way.

I have my Boomer dad using Linux Mint on his laptop, but he was still using Windows on his desktop PC.

Then it updated to Windows 11 and he HATES it and asked me for help to put Linux Mint on his desktop as well.

This is a real estate agent in his 70s who needs help making scans and downloading email attachments.

It depends. I run an instance with a whole two users and it costs me about $25 a month.

But if I let 200 users join, I would need beefier hardware and a higher bandwidth limit.

However running an instance like Beehaw is probably on the order of hundreds, not thousands of dollars a month.

• sshfs. I use it for everything.
• autossh
• git. It always annoys me how Debian doesn’t come with it out of the box. Gets me every time I set up a new server.
• Signal desktop app.

This is the best answer.

Yeah… it’s very clickbatey to NOT include that detail.

I’ve written more than enough words to win, while failing to finish my story. I’ve also played a lot with local LLMs. Can confirm on all counts.

Typed “rm -r” in “/home/myuser” instead of “/home/myuser/Documents/ThingINoLongerNeed”

Used gparted to wipe and format the device mounted at “/” instead of the external drive I meant to reformat. I’ve done this one TWO WHOLE TIMES in my life, three if you count wiping a device that was mounted at “/home/myuser/MyTwoTBDrive4DocsPicsMusicGamesEtc”.

It will?? When??

Came here to say Tauri.

It is stupid and evil to reject cubic truth.
