Since it’s a wall art project, now get it to run Minecraft and run a redstone computer on it.

That went well.

• Theoretically Yes, if your Linux partition is not encrypted, any OS can read it. Password protecting it doesn’t do anything to conceal your data, just keeps people from logging into your system while Linux is booted. If this is a security / privacy related question, there is nothing to stop a program running under Windows from reading the data on your Linux partition except

• Practically No, depending on the filesystem you chose (if you went with the default, it’s likely ext4 but could be something more exotic). Out of the box Windows lacks the software / drivers to read most Linux filesystems. If this is a “can I access my files” question, you probably need to install something like this to read your data from Windows. Note that the reverse is not true. Most distros other than light weight distros like Alpine are perfectly able to read the NTFS file system out of the box. Sometimes they can’t write to it unless you install additional tools (like OOTB Debian probably can’t, but I’m pretty sure OOTB Linux Mint can if you change a setting and IDK about OOTB Ubuntu / Fedora / Arch).

The easiest way to share data between Windows and Linux is with a 3rd partition formatted to FAT32, as both Linux and Windows have no problem reading from / writing to it without additional software.

EDIT: The other poster is absolutely correct. The modern way to do this is with exFAT. What can I say? I’m a crusty old engineer.

It’s very likely that adware / spyware / malware targeting Windows users will NOT be able to read Ext4 or other Linux filesystems, unless it’s specifically targeted to do so, so you do have that added “security through obscurity” protection.

My TV set is a 7 year old Dell All-in-One PC running Linux Mint. It works great. It doesn’t try to sell me shit. Ads be hella blocked.

“At 9:43 EDT, the devs decided collectively to do a “rollback” to the previous release. This was the worst possible mistake,”

No, the WORST POSSIBLE MISTAKE was doing a major roll out, then NO ONE STICKING AROUND TO WATCH WHAT HAPPENED! Seriously, who does this?? It’s like lighting the fuse on your firework show, then having an all hands staff meeting in a sound proofed trailer with blackout curtains.

We’re also using Forgejo for a small consulting team working on lots of different projects for a lot of different clients.

A couple of our team members who came from a more complex and scaled environment (particularly our DevOps / SRE guy who’s worked at such places as LinkedIn and Snowflake) want to move us to Gitlab because it’s “more powerful” but I like Forgejo because it’s just super simple. Just does exactly what I need, doesn’t give me to many more options.

We have

• Projects segregated into teams, organized by client (so only those working on a specific client’s projects have access to their repos).
• Able to invite clients and put them into the team for their project (we’ve had a couple clients that want that).
• Able to automate deployments with webhooks (this was pretty easy to get working).

One of our devs wanted to use Actions. It’s hard to get that working and (at least a month ago) there were warnings that Actons aren’t mature yet and are probably insecure (looks like that may have changed with the recent jump to Forgejo 8.0). I think it’s now a non issue for us though because we were like “Dude, stop trying to role your own CI/CD, that’s why we have two infrastructure people!”

As a security professional, what finally got me to move from Apache to NGINX was OpenResty.

I sometimes still put Apache behind it, depending on my goals.

I talk to people there everyday. Taiwan doesn’t WANT to be a province of China and anyone who thinks it should be is a dick (and probably a sock puppet for the Chinese Communist Party - it’s gonna be pretty hard to keep doing your job here without looking just like one of those). End of discussion.

It’d be akin to China funding and arming an independence movement in Texas.

No, it would be akin to China funding and arming the US if England decided to say “Hey, you used to be English! We think you still are. We plan to come over there and replace your government. Also, we’re murdering our own citizens if they strongly disagree with this policy.”

Are you gonna deny that? It’s a SUPER bad look.

I don’t disagree.

But that doesn’t change anything I said. The US does not have a monopoly on assholery.

EDIT: Who would downvote this other than sockpuppet accounts controlled by OP? Maybe some idiot tankies, I guess. lol.

I work closely with people in Taiwan and China is DEFINITELY the asshole in the situation. Like a big bad “You need to get punched in the face until you stop assholing” asshole. The nuance is almost all manufactured, like Twinkies and Fox News outrage. Like for real, super seriously. Like how Russia is the asshole in the Ukraine and how Israel is the asshole in well… Israel.

While the US govt. has selfish economic and ideological reasons for supporting Taiwan, it is ONE thing I’m in favor of it doing. I don’t like bullies. No one should like bullies.

Yes. When we refuse to trade with assholes, we lose opportunities to profit off of said assholes.

Some capitalist assholes who don’t care if the people they’re profiting off are assholes don’t like being told not to do business with said other assholes, so ALL the assholes whine about it, but from my perspective the thing to remember is they’re all a bunch of assholes.

Phrasing it the way the headline does puts a very particular spin on things, don’t you think?

RHEL --> Debian in the sense that RHEL is a root distro from which the others spring. But there the similarities very much end.

You’re kind of an asshole for like completely no reason aren’t you? That’s now what this conversation is about. By all means, continue.

Sure, that was overly broad. But I’ve got a BUNCH of tools in my garage and they’re fine, but my dad’s got a bunch of the same tools in his workshop he had when I was a kid, and they still work just as well now as they did in the 80s (I think his drill press actually used to belong to HIS dad and it’s never failed me). Also, his table saw and band saw rock. I remember using them to cut things for silly projects when I was a kid and I just used the table saw the other day… same saw, great results.

My take was all centered around “solid” and “built to last”. I don’t have any faith that the tools in my garage will outlast his tools. Don’t see it happening. I think me inheriting his tools is more likely than my tools outlasting them.

It’s not going to collapse over night. Instead, things are going to get worse and worse gradually, with each step backward becoming the new normal.

Like the proverbial frog in boiling water, we’ll all just carry on until one day we’re like just chilling in our debris city, hoping we don’t have to sell any teeth for bottle caps in order to buy food today when some ghoul comes storming in and shoots up the place trying to murder a harmless old man with a dog, and then some naive vault dweller tries to intervene, but she only makes the problem worse and we’ll all wonder how the hell we got here.
