I bought a 21 inch 1080p Viewsonic monitor from a thrift store just the other day for $6. I got it just for this use case.
I had a spare for this purpose up until about a month ago when the backlight went out on one of my daily drivers.
Also, a couple of days ago I got a pretty nice steelcase apex 3 keyboard with RGB lights for $5.
I’m a cool grandpa with old hardware.
I was a poor kid living in Hawaii in the mid 90’s.
Wendy’s in Hawaii had a salad bar. If you ordered the “dine in” salad bar, they gave you a fairly small plate and you were allowed one trip.
If you ordered it to go, you still had the one trip restriction, but they would give you a big plastic clamshell to go container. They assumed you would put food in the bottom of the container and close it up and leave.
Not me. I would order to go, but fill both halves of the container and eat it all at one of the tables. Usually one of the halves was mostly Chocolate pudding and cheezy crackers.
I use the terminal so much that I frequently accidentally use Ctrl-Shift-C and V outside of the terminal.
Ctrl-Shift-V usually works pretty well as it does a paste without formatting in a lot of places.
Accidentally hitting Ctrl-Shift-C though in a MS Team’s chat though, starts a voice call with all chat participants. 😑 hate it
Every distro.
Samba file shares should use regular user credentials and not have separate samba usernames and passwords.
Every distro with gnome.
Make RDP work as well as it does on Windows.
I’m talking about remoting into the Linux system.
Everytime the system is restarted you have to physically login to the system to unlock the keyring so that your RDP password is accessible or you won’t be able to get in. Or you have to remove your keyring password all together. Why is this different than the regular user password?
Also it’s weird that it works like VNC where you are controlling the system remotely but anyone local can see what you are doing on the screen. It is also cool to have that option but it shouldn’t be the default.
And the RTO demands are about intentionally lowering headcount without paying unemployment or severance so they can boost their numbers.
Just for shiggles, I setup and ran a minecraft Java server on an old phone for a little while. I did this through Termux.
It was surprisingly good.
Most people get a new phone every 2-3 years. If people use their 2 most recent phones as simple servers, then these are not 10 year old devices.
Remote desktop working like it does in windows.
I love linux and it is really all I use but RDP support is severly worse than windows.
Moved from a junky setup where I was forwarding my domain mail to gmail. And sending mail through gmail using the smtp server provided by my web host.
I was having too many issues.
I switched to fastmail. It is quite good. And you can get some free basic web hosting included with your paid service.
TBF, if a potential partner is super excited about something you never heard of, looking into it is a good thing.
Conservatives, and other assholes, are good about hiding their crazy behind seemingly innocent things, like pepe the frog.
