I'm an actual RHCE. This thread has to be some big Red Hatter click farm or something. The artificial positivity is striking. Is Red Hat threatening to pull funding for this project or something? Just weird.

Cockpit is okay but it's basically Red Hat's equivalent to the Windows Server Manager tool, and I have no doubt it was directly inspired by Server Manager. It's development and improvement over the years has been painfully slow.

Nobody who is comfortable with an ssh session uses Cockpit, except maybe to create new VMs, and even then all of these comments comparing it to Proxmox are just whack because it doesn't have a quarter of the features the Proxmox UI offers. The utility for managing VMs is a recent development and even then I still prefer the Virtual Machine Manager tool because I don't want to deal with the latency increase and other limitations of working through a browser.

But anyway, there's a ton of things you can't do with Cockpit, and never will be able to do. It's for people who want to point and click, can't do a bash for/while loop, don't understand pipe chaining commands, and don't like using vim.

Like happyweasel said, it's basically webmin for Red Hat.

It's kinda cool, but it's so old now and development has been so slow and it's been so over-hyped that I don't pay attention to it at all and I've never used it except what was required to get certified.

I agree this is google doing evil and there should be government intervention for this kind of shit.

There's a timer that re-enables the Play Protect nag after a certain period of time. I can't remember how many days it is.

You can permanently disable it by running the following over ADB or a local shell. Works for me.

I've heard Porkbun has weird Chinese ownership and apparently most of their operations are in China.

Talking past the issues.

Yep it's all systemd bunk. It reduces flexibility and promotes lock-in of systemd at the expense of everything else. It smells like a bunch of BS because it is.

There was once a CNN program named Pinnacle. I remembered watching it and then as the years went by I noticed that a large number of the executives on the program later got arrested, were accused of fraud, and other such nonsense. GM, Sunbeam, Tycho...

Using a tmux or screen session to maintain persistence instead might be a better idea, depending on your use case.

> Problem can be that sometimes the connection is only broken one way

Many network engineers who have to deal with asynchronous routing have had to deal with this particular issue. You got into the habit of doing a ctrl+u ctrl+k just in case, and you get hyper-aware that pressing the enter key has consequences.

The ol "This is good for bitcoin" er, Starlink, argument.

The morons are the ones who click on adverts, and so long as clicking on adverts is the goal, they will always win.

That's why there are no social networks. They are moron menageries. Idiot aggregators. Stupidity sieves.

Uh, reddit is 99% influencers influencing these days. You enthusiastically consumed and even recommended an ad and have no idea.

You can't even tell who they are anymore. How do I know? Because I've been paid to post on reddit. I only do it for products I've actually used and things I like, but I got paid nobody has a clue. Not even you.

I've actually used apt-cacher-ng, or at least I spent two years trying. Sadly, it's a buggy pile of poop that constantly segfaults and has serious data corruption bugs. It corrupts packages. Like, all you gotta do is download a file from the internet, and it messes that up by corrupting it.

All of these bugs are super well-known, written about, and documented.

I never did find a good Deb package cache manager. I simply wrote a script that distributes common packages between my LAN systems as I update them in a serial matter. It works but I wish there was something better. Everything I've tried is either sub-Alpha bugware and incomprehensibly complicated.

Starting sentences with "lol" and "bro", for example.

What is really astonishing is the denialism that Mozilla as an organization, and it's individual employees and contributors, engage in, along with the associated toxic positivity and emotional abuse heaped upon the userbase.

Mozilla has made a number of obvious mis-steps, but not only is there virtually no acknowledgement of the negative impact of these mis-steps, but they are often falsely lauded as successes, when they are obviously massive failures.

The user is then confronted with language typically associated with emotional abusers, such as "We know how much you love Firefox!". Googling the words "you love" against Mozilla's website turns up hundreds of bizarre examples.

Neowin is just reposting a report from Ghacks

And Ghacks got their info from a reddit post

Just a note that there are no direct helium sensors in these drives. The status is inferred indirectly through some thermal sensors, conductivity, or something similar. I've read that the readings of the helium value are not very good and that it only puts out readings with granularity steps of 10-20% each. It's not great.

The Register is trash British "journalism". I can't stand reading their articles.

Irony and satire are not effective against Nicespeak because those who engage in it are either evil or stupid. The evil know what they are doing and will meet you with hostility for being called out. The stupid will react with confusion, frustration, and ultimately hostility for your failure to engage with them in the pleasantly appeasing mediocrity which it requires.

You've confused a sieve for a funnel. Mastodon isn't trying to funnel up every user possible to empower come capitalist aspiring overlord. It's trying to empower the users to filter out the garbage.

You even called it a product, which it's not.

The article above was talking about you. You can't even conceive that it's different.

Privacy and autonomy. If I don't have root then someone else owns it, and by extension, me.

Have zero cloud dependence. Nobody has my data but me. I pay nothing and give up nothing.

My phone is a linux box. I can ssh to it any time I want to get a shell. It has a permanent reverse ssh shell and OpenVPN connection out to my other systems. And no, this has almost no impact on power usage (if done correctly).

Real filesystem access without restrictions. This allows for full rsync backups and restores of any app and any data on the phone. I built a script that lets me easily backup and restore individual apps and even move/copy apps between Android devices. I also sync a variety of files on a regular basis (music, pictures, ebooks,...)

tcpdump to capture packets. I actually do this every couple of weeks/months, but it's not something I do regularly.

Call recording that actually works is impossible without root. skvalex is the best.

Adblocking, Bouncer, real screenshots in any app, real firewalling, disabling Doze and other stupid power savings that breaks shit, and a lot more.

This is a weirdly arrogant authoritarian attitude you have against other's using their devices.

By using that unrooted custom ROM, it's not like root doesn't exist anymore, you just don't have it. The people who built the ROM have root, not you. They own your phone. It's their phone, not yours.

Having access to a root shell isn't bad, or dangerous, or a security risk. Not having means not having ownership of the device.

> photo quality was definitely a severe weak spot of LOS so far.

This is because of the proprietary closed-source blobs needed to make many newer cameras work. Lineage can't redistribute that code or they would get into legal shit.

Both Musk and Jobs are admired by the same kind of people. And for the reasons.

Firefox writers have some serious case of toxic positivity. It's very off-putting.

Removing SMS support was a mistake.

> It’s a nearly weekly accusation thrown at me on Reddit.

If this is happening so often, then you are clearly doing something wrong and people are picking up on it.

Also, like everyone else said, reddit is basically idiots arguing with other idiots. There's almost no value there anymore.

Anyone here spend at least an hour laughing at the abuse-a-tron in the late 90s?

I think this is it but it's been forever.

A number of people are currently working on support for multiple Realtek based switches, including some 2.5G models.

https://forum.openwrt.org/t/support-for-rtl838x-based-manage...

Note that biot.com link above is now dead, but they previously had a nice big table of devices and info. Might want to check wayback machine for that.

Reminder that Onyx/Boox are well-known GPL IP thieves who won't publish source for the Linux or Android code they took to use on their devices.

Amazon could score an easy win and force a lot of Boox owners into their direction by getting an import ban on Onyx devices.

I am disappointed in the number of people hyping up Lenovo/Thinkpads in this thread. Lenovo is not IBM and their quality is not that great. Some models are good, but plenty of others are bad. Dell has been shipping linux for decades now and Lenovo only announced partial support on some models a year or two ago. Don't fall for the hype. Not all Lenovo/Thinkpads are good for linux (or good at all).
