No company that doesn’t allow you to install browser add-ons will allow you to run a pi-hole instance. Not on your machine, and much less as an actual pi plugged into their network. If you did plug an actual pi into the network it would probably reason to be just straight up fired.
I wouldn’t think so. I would also assume that direct DNS requests to external servers aren’t allowed in the firewall. But even if they are, they probably can’t use a non-company DNS server if he needs to reach internally hosted services. So it would at least require using different browser for internal and external browsing, assuming DNS requests to external servers really are allowed.
If he can’t even install an addon for a browser, what do you think he can do with DNS?
The arch package has to be built somehow. You could look at that packages source and/or content to figure out how to manually do it on your system, or wait/hope the deb is being maintained and gets fixed.
It’s likely mostly some plumbing, like a systemd service with it’s configuration, to get the audio routed properly.
There’s also a dedicated recipe in “bottles”, which I think is based on it at least in part. As I’m trying to move away from fusion, I haven’t tried it yet though. Apparently it can work, but can also randomly break with updates…
There’s also In shape, which has it’s down sides (some go away with money), but also runs anywhere bring browser based. One of the more obvious down sides is that it’s by definition cloud based.
There has been a lot of advances even with Nvidia in recent years. Assuming the GPU in the laptop is semi-modern (not sure if it’s 10xx or 20xx and newer, but one of those), you should be able to just install any modern distro and it should just work. This is especially true for gaming focused distros (like CachyOS), which doesn’t have to be used for gaming btw. They will auto-detect just fine in the installer and there is zero effort or tinkering required.
I bought 48 GB DDR5 for my laptop back in September, just before the prices ignited their rocket engines. I paid 120€ I think. Prices now are like 500(ish). Truly insane.
I don’t really understand? Samsung will trivially be able to tell that it isn’t theirs and decline the warranty. If they bother to check, of course, and if there are enough being RMA’d that is even worth the effort for them.
Also I’m sure the fake Samsung already claim that same warranty, as they are being sold as originals who have the 5 year warranty. So what exactly are you asking for?
Lutris is like heroic or steam: it’s essentially the downloader and launcher for games that are then run by proton.
You can’t have it both ways. It’s hard enough to get people to switch to signal, or least also use it next to other messengers. Now imagine they’d have to connect to multiple servers to talk to multiple people. Possibly everyone connection details. Even if that’s done in the background, you have to somehow get the connection registered once, discovered if you will.
Anything and everything you send through their server is end-to-end encrypted. Some people hate on the phone number being required to create an account, but it’s also the reason it works at all: anyone in your contacts who also has signal you can talk to. Phone numbers are an international standard. If course this also has downsides…
Finally what you’re asking for exists. NextCloud has “talk”. Which is essentially a messenger app, it’s built in. Go use it. I have a NextCloud instance and I don’t use it either. What’s the point of having an app I can only use to talk with people so close to me that they’re in my NextCloud with an account already?
If you’re using a keepass database, Keepass2Android can natively sync with many cloud options including self hosted and generic ones, even without specific “companion” apps. That’s what I use. In my case, it’s backed by my NextCloud, but it used to be Google drive before.
Just also sync the file on your PC, merging changes from different clients is part of the keepass database format and “just works”.
Also VaultWarden works great if your can self host it, but I prefer keepass for a variety of features and integrations.
Yeah, they do need to clean up the installer a bit. It’s also not quite turnkey for a Windows dual-boot.
Mind letting us know why or how? When I installed it almost a year ago on my desktop, I did install it as a dual boot option with no issues. Of course this doesn’t mean there aren’t issues I just didn’t run into. I’m also not new to Linux and didn’t pick a fully default install, if that makes a difference. So I could’ve probably fixed it if it did break, but it never gave me any issues.
The only thing that I dislike, and that could probably cause issues, is that for my installation the mount point for the efi/boot partition isn’t specified in fstab using a uuid, but using the device name (which isn’t fixed and can change with hardware changes). That is a very weird (and unnecessary) decision IMHO.
Forgejo was soft forked from Gitea after they went commercial and changed the license (I think). If there aren’t any so far, expect pay walled features eventually.
Forgejo turned into a hard fork after communication issues between the teams. I haven’t looked too deeply into it (as I don’t really care about the fact that it’s a hard fork now). This means while it used to be a drop-in replacement allowing you to go back and forth between the two, it’s now an active conversion, I think.
I’m reasonably sure there’s an option in librewolf that will hide your timezone and just report it as +0, independent from what you actually use is the os.
It has a lot of fingerprint hardening either enabled by default or available as an option.
All normal PCs run CachyOS, includes gaming PCs, laptops and media PCs. All servers run some form of Debian (includes Proxmox) or a dedicated distro for their use (TRUE WAS, technically also Debian based).
Maybe look onto OwnCloud. That’s the project NextCloud was forked from many years ago. It’s very much still around and had a very different philosophy, a much more minimalistic approach with focus on stability. That’s actually the reason the people behind NextCloud had to fork it, cause all their additional features (bloat) wasn’t accepted upstream.
If you want to lessen the barrier of entry to Arch, maybe try CachyOS. It’s Arch based and very close to normal Arch, but has some conveniences. Might be worth a look. It’s also got it’s own CPU specific repositories (same content as Arch), giving even more performance.
Appreciate the heads up. I’m reasonably sure I’ve already uninstalled it anyway, but I’ll check tomorrow to make sure.
To anyone who owns a PS5 and thinks this is cool and wants to use it: turn off updates now, it just disconnect it from the network. This will be patched and blocked, probably very quickly.
