Came here to say this. I almost never run just 1 computer on my computer.

Base Linux OS + Test/burner VM + Work VM --> want 64 GB

or

Base Linux OS + Whonix Gateway + Whonix Workstation --> want 64 GB

Honest question: Why fail2ban? Have you considered crowdsec ?

I used to use the former; I’ve found the latter to be easier to maintain and I like that it shares threats real-time

Why add the extra letter? It’s clearly pronounced “Denis”

I also remember the Internet being fiddly as fuck and questionably useful during the dialup days.

AI is improving a lot faster than Internet did. It was like a decade before we got broadband and another before we had wifi.

By that logic, people shitting on AI will look very quaint in a decade or so.

And when they do, the quality of their code goes up

I agree we’re better off firing them, but I’m not their manager and I do appreciate stuff with less memory leaks and SQL injections

One of my favorite jokes:

Q: A Vegan, a crossfit enthusiast, and a Linux user walk into a bar. How do we know?

A: They told every. Damn. Person. In the bar. Within 5 fucking minutes.

Conversely, if it’s a fleshlight, then by definition it is art

Do check OpenWRT again. These days even a network-ignorant person like myself can point and click to set up guest networks, configure individual devices’ access, adblock, crazy good firewalls, …

Very slick & professional

It reminds us we are on the side of The Good.

It is also wonderful schadenfreude to see scammers frustrated.

I too use my PiHole for this pleasurable activity

Look at all the bots and trolls that slammed against my Skynet OpenWRT module… and died.

I too run a PiHole in an RPi, physically plugged in to my OpenWRT router

True story: ~85% of the powerful *nix Wizards I have had the honor to meet have been into stimulants and/or weed and/or microdosing.

You know. IT folk.

Maybe you’ll have a different opinion about code when it’s almost all disposable.

Yes some places still make bespoke $30 steak hamburgers. But also most people eat mass produced, less expensive McD’s

So… what’s the big potentially breaking change(s) in the new kernel?

There are true artists who make paper by hand like they used to in China. It’s beautiful. It’s much more heterogeneous than machine made paper. It makes for wonderful gifts.

It would be prohibitively expensive and lower quality to use hadmade paper towels, toilet paper, etc.

… and coordinate system

Hoping for a big announcement from CalyxOS
