Out of curiosity, what software? It won’t run with Wine? Maybe there’s a decent enough alternative?

Just stop dual booting. This is self-inflicted harm. Setup a VM or find a native workaround.

Nice, I’m part of that .05% Debian 12 crowd.

Ah, gotcha. Feel like I’m too old to keep up with it now.

Are these called “Wojack” memes? I’ve never understood why this art style became so popular.

I would say not much. If it’s your own personal LAN, and only your devices are on it, and you’re not hosting super sensitive data, then I wouldn’t personally be worried. Just depends on your risk acceptance.

Edit: But if you are hosting sensitive data on an untrusted network, then definitely require a user with a strong password. Also, SMB3 and higher supports encryption (both in Windows and Samba for Linux). Encryption isn’t enabled by default, though. So keep that in mind. Easy to setup on both Windows and Linux.

That’s a security quirk. Microsoft reeeeeally doesn’t want you to do anonymous SMB anymore, and with every version of Windows, Microsoft has made is more complicated to get it working like that. It’s probably still possible, but easier just to make a quick local user account and assign it read/write permissions to the share. Samba on Linux can still do it without as much fuss, but I’ve long since just accepted the extra step.

Interesting. Never heard of that. It’d just be a guess, but I’m doubting this was a person familiar with that. Just a humorous oopsy.

Well, ya got me there.

Maybe because IBM bought Redhat so they’re saying it’s corporate? Just a wild guess. I use Debian, and not sure why that makes me the hide the pain meme.

I’m a long-time Samba fan, but even I wouldn’t run them as DCs in a production environment.

I used it on a laptop for a while. Pretty impressive just how lightweight it is, but a bit of a grind to initially get everything working as expected. Overall, I’m a big fan.

You mean we’d be in control of the means of production? That’s an interesting idea. We should come up with a recognizable symbol for this new concept. Something simple, like two silhouettes of tools, maybe crossed.

That only allows DNS-based blocking of domains, which isn’t going to be nearly as effective. A lot of modern ads are served up from the same domain that you’re visiting. Browser-based ad-blocker extensions are in a position to block domains, URLs, and specific parts of the HTML DOM itself. This is going to sound rude, and I’m sorry in advance, but when people bring up pi hole, I assume they aren’t very knowledgeable about how things work.
