Seriously. I might not be a great “Marx Scholar” and I don’t think the revolution will just be a peaceful process “whished into existence” but I don’t think Marx was Dunkin g on anti authoritarians here and to presume the “dictatorship of the proletariat” is the long term free society of Marx ideals is utter garbage. Communism will be anti-authoritarian or it will not be.

Damn would’ve upvoted but it’s at 161 upvoted rn AFA ;)

The whole European grid is connected (which is a miraculous feat). And yes, there is a European market for energy where countries can sell surplus and buy in high demand situations.

1. You’ve got Black and White working? I’ve smashed my head against that one before but never got it going.
2. The issue is that the copy protections check for a physical disk (with various methods) sometimes “Windows” ISO tools work better (CDEmu CloneDrive…) you would need to run them in the same wine prefix. But the easier way might be to find a nocd “patch” for your application ;)

You can … WHAT!?

Wow I did not know that. Incredibly helpful

Two additional commands I regularly use as a Sysadmin are

systemctl status without any unit to list show the general system status (lists units that are running, units that are starting and failed units right at the top) And then systemctl list-units --failed To show me just the failed units and did deeper what the problem is.

On a properly set up system I should quickly be able to ascertain if everything is “up and running” just by systemds status

I agree but recently the user themes extension broke notifications and I’ve already slimmed down my extensions to only the most necessary ones … So now I’m honestly thinking about trying Plasma properly.

MHH interesting. I honestly haven’t really given kde a fair shot since KDE4 maybe I need to force myself to use Plasma 6. Gnome has really gotten on my nerves lately. But I also know that on Plasma I will mostly recreate my gnome experience (Super key, hot corner …) since these are so ingrained in me from over a decade of using gnome.

Antennapod definitely is the GOAT. Been using it for years, it only got better. I hate the whole “podcast app” thing and like to just simply subscribe to RSS feeds and automatically download my podcasts and Antennapod does that for me. It’s so out of the way.

Well for my laptop which I use 3-5 days a week (for a few hours at a time) I do it only when I’m at home so it doesn’t get in the way when I need my machine. But I also reboot my laptop every use since with framework suspend just won’t work properly (I’ll look into it soon™).

My desktop I try to update every time I use it but with barely any time and my gaming now happening on my steam deck that’s less and less. Also with the archzfs module I gotta wait for the right timing between module and kernel versions so these days I often miss a few updates.

Incredibly I’ve had two printers I’ve never really had issues with.

1. The brother laser my sister uses with Ubuntu without a hitch since forever
2. The canon inkjet printer/scanner that is wifi connected in my flatshare

Antennapod does offer that by hooking into the gpodder.net API.ive had varying success with gpodder.net but hosting that yourself (I host it as an app on my Nextcloud) is a breeze

Not to be nitpicky but 45kW? That seems like a hell of a charger and I’d like to see the ISB-C cable that can handle that ;)

Oh I can be mad about it >:(

Seriously gateways should be first or last address in the space. Fight me!

As a Linux nerd and Privacy/Open source advocate it’s tough to admit. But I can’t use DuckDuckGo. I work as a Linux Sysadmin and Google is the only search engine reliably returning good results (especially on more obscure topics). With DuckDuckGo I’ve often noticed that it will simply “drop” words from you search terms (i.e. if you search “yellow computer chair” it might just show you any kind of yellow chair or something like that) which makes it unusable for precise searches.

Can’t quite speak for the n100 but I got a n305 one of these “China PCs” it’s passively cooled (which was important since it’s running in my bedroom) and seems to have amazing performance for what I need (I put jellyfin on there). I’m quite happy after futzing around with ARM SBCs and external drives this just works so well.

Jup same here. We have a colleague that constantly reminds everyone that we’re not properly patched (even running eol versions) but there’s always something to be done that’s a higher priority.

Which are?

Yeah might have gotten stuck on Debian as well if I didn’t make the mistake to run stable when I first tried it. Choosing stable made sense to me since I wanted a stable os but when I was greeted by “ICE weasel” that was way behind the Firefox I got used to on Ubuntu and other software being terribly out of date I decided to move on.

Well then I got stuck on Arch.

But while it would be easy to say “never looked back” that’s not true of course, these days I tun Debian on most of my machines (only that they are servers) and Ubuntu on some (like my work Laptop) my personal Desktop and laptop are Arch though and probably always will be.
