You are absolutely right. People should trust their doctors, but doctors should also update their knowledge.

Let me ruffle all your feathers: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6736742/

That’s the stupidest shit I have heard today. You should feel ashamed if you really are an engineer

My trick to remember:

You can link to a target without giving a name to the link. ln will use the basename of the target file then. You can’t create a link without a target, so target has to go first since it’s not optional. Did it for me

There is a way with chmod in bash to change files and folders with files getting no execute bit and folder do (rwX instead of rwx). It’s in the man pages but good luck finding it via Google. Stackoverflow just suggests using find over and over again.

That did it for me.

baader meinhof phenomenon!

That’s the spirit. Reddit and all other social media died for me during the exodus 1 1/2 years ago. Since then i go to lemmy and I’m fine. Tbh I’m not really sure if more user will not also pull commercial interests into the fediverse and if that is something I’m looking forward to, but for now, everything seems like reddit around 2010, not too big but big enough to not being out of content after scrolling for 10 mins.

It sure is. Just don’t expose the management interface to the internet. And stop using the webserver for configuration, real man use ssh. Have fun

Linux is pretty forgiving. You don’t even need to use dd, if you know what you are doing you can create a totally new partitioning format and just copy the files. Since getting the fstab just right in that case is more error prone, just using dd is simpler. If using dd, don’t worry, you can resize partition afterwards.

Look: it’s a hat

I also think it’s a healthy attitude but at the same time it’s sad that people can’t trust their own devices any longer.

Using your real name can have benefits, like metadata in office documents or things like that. If you are sure your devices are yours and secure, there shouldn’t be a reason not to use your own name. Unfortunately this isn’t the case anymore if you are using anything else but Linux

I wonder if there are still people living in their underground bunker believing they are the only one that survived 2000 or 2012

A few days ago I tried to install Windows 11 on the PC of a friend. It didn’t work because of missing SATA drivers. Anyway, I was shocked how many points there are where Microsoft or Apple (we used his mac to create the USB drive) tries to sell something (buy pro version of fan controll now) or wants your permissions to gather all your data.

I convinced him to let me install debian. When it came to creating the default user he was hesitant to use his full name, because telemetry :D
