Hmm… Never tried, but I assume you record yourself and then start applying filters/effects from the dropdown.

Was going to write these exact words.

I don’t know what that is, but you might want to switch to Tenacity. It’s a fork of audacity without the data collection. Its diverged some, but does everything you need it to.

I just meant it was big. I’m glad I moved out the next month.

I thought I read it before posting. Sigh… I’m such a bot

And DPI relies on endpoints using their CA and MiTM certificate. It’s not like it can happen without your knowledge (at least on personal devices). After implementing DPI on multiple different firewall devices on home and enterprise networks, it’s a fairly deliberate setup process on the endpoint. Not a, “they can listen in whenever they want,” scenario.

But fuck this bot 🤖

Every single time I think I know where I stand on fucking sharks…

Feel free to down vote me and called me a sleazeball douchebag troll.

To late! You already said we could execute and shun you (though I think the former sort of precludes the latter).

If it can be taken away, it’s not ownership.

That is truly horrifying. I’ve had a yellowjackett wasp crawl in my ear and sting me repeatedly. I’d prefer the yellowjackett.

I lived in an apartment building with a big pipe leading to the septic tank. Cockroaches were always visible crawling in and out of the gaps between the concrete and pipe, living in the literal shithole. They carry so many germs!!!

At night, that’s they’d scale the building and come visit us. I woke up one night to my cat staring slightly above my head. I moved a tiny bit, and a big mind momma cockroach jumped off my headboard onto my face, then onto the blankets, where my cat swiftly executed it (with no small level of skill and reflexes). That night left an impression on me.

I hope this explains both fear and being spooked by them.

Edit; some fun typos

That’s not Linux, though; that’s docker.

Maybe now. .NET wasn’t always open, used to be Windows-only, was buggy, version-dependent (but not as bad as the jre could be; true), and had (still has) poor resource-management. I think you’re talking about .NETCore.

That said, I wasn’t commenting on the code viability (I’m not a professional developer) so much as the support overhead required (back when I worked support) for the different versions of .NET, especially when MS stopped including v3.5 in Windows except by using “features and programs” or downloading and installing it manually.

Many of us started running Windows Server and endpoints, but in my case, the cost and substandard tools turned me away. I was running A DLNA server and using WDS (yes, very overkill for home, but fun to learn for work), but then I found TrueNAS (then called FreeNAS) running on BSD. I now run a simple share from there and Kodi on my (Linux and Android) user endpoints. I don’t bother with imaging anymore, and use dd for backups to my NAS. My Firewall runs OPNSense (BSD) and I run OpenWRT on two TrendNet WAPs.

I’ll never go back to MS. It’s just not a welcoming platform from my perspective. Don’t even get me started on .NET or the various and sundry “redistributables” constantly required by every tool you try to use.

my distaste for MS grew

This is a natural progression. Inescapable.

Futurama never gets old or loses applicability

I feel for you. That sucks to have your life thrown into chaos for a decimal number on the balance sheet.

Truth

Almost every linux distro is better on RAM than Windows. That said, application memory management has gotten pretty sloppy over the past decade or so. I boot into MX linux (KDE) on my 16GB RAM laptop, and I am using about 2GB after boot. Once I load my password manager and open my browser (Librewolf with 18 tabs) I am sitting at 5.4GB used.

But! Even when this laptop had only 4GB RAM, it always ran MX fast and never complained about low memory.

Edit: Try the xfce version of MX linux. I think it’s the lightest on resources, or it used to be.

Sort of like GrapheneOS does, right? I don’t actually have GOS, but I thought the installer worked like that. Otherwise, there’s always the WSL that I think is how I installed Ubuntu (just as a test!!! I haven’t used Ubuntu since 2009) inside Windows 10 a few years back.
