Yes, I recommend the book as well. Don’t ask me why though. I tried quitting smoking many times using many different methods but always failed. On a whim I got the Alan Carr book and read it. I read it in bursts over a month or two. There was nothing interesting in there. Nothing I didn’t already know. I finished it and quit smoking. The next day I relapsed and smoked again. I reread the last few chapters and quit again, this time using nicotine patches. I quit the patches within a day because they made me feel sick. I never smoked again. It’s been 7-ish years and I haven’t had any inclination to smoke again. It went from one of the hardest things to one of the easiest things to do. I don’t care if people smoke around me, it doesn’t bother me anymore. I still don’t know why the book works, but it did for me.

I got that exact one too! It was way better than the Voodoo 3DFX cards.

That’s all fine for technically inclined people, not for the scores of tech illiterate folk that need a big “migrate” button.

There’s worse. Ever heared of FOOF? https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/things-i-won-t-work-dioxygen-difluoride

Secure from what exactly? You need to have a threat model here. For most personal use cases I’d argue that protection from adtech tracking is more important than e.g. sandboxing. Most people run into adtech continuously, but few people browse shady exploit-ridden sites.

In that case, Firefox us the clear winner. It supports manifest v2 for better adblocking, and it is the only mobile browser with extension support allowing you to use adblocking on mobile as well.

Periodically rotating passwords is against NIST policy. Ask IT why the insist on using it when everyone, even the government, says it’s insecure

Yes, but the kids buying the modded devices may not be

Yes, the instance you signed up on would be the identity provider

That’s a solved problem from a technical perspective. Use OAuth. Just look at “sign in with google/facebook/github/etc”

You can’t fix people problems with technical solutions. I know tech folk like to think they can, but it really doesn’t work. Sometimes you simple needs some rules, guides, and a good book to slap someone with.

How can vegans justify having pets at all?

Seems to be fixed!

That title is even worse than Disney’s real claim, which is impressive

You could try fedia.io if you prefer the Kbin/Mbin interface over Lemmy

I’m Dutch, exactly a Kapsalon yes 🤤

Kebab, cheese, garlic sauce and lettuce

ZFS isn’t built-in. I don’t know enough about btrfs to recommend it.

Bog-standard Debian with LVM. LVM can also do RAID, but you could also do mdadm below LVM if you prefer. Keep it simple.

The real people pushing this are lobbyists working for the companies that sell the monitoring software.

If you don’t pay for it, you can’t rely on it
