  • I don't do much other than setting up ufw to block all ssh connections and the "standard" firejail configuration. There is also nextdns set up via my sbc (Orange pi zero 3) which is pretty nice for a "quasi-network-wide ublock".

  • Cpupower can both show cpu info -and- tweak it, so nope. Not really.

    Thanks for your input tho.

  • Been using Wayland since 3'ish years ago and my desktop experience has been really smooth -- no crashes, errors or anything of the sort. Everything "just werks" just as if I were on Xorg instead. Even on a completely obscure/zero linux support single board computer (Orange pi zero 3).

  • Gentoo "purist": "Welp, Gentoo is now officially dead."

    Non-gentoo user: "Welp, Gentoo is now just another Arch fork LMAO!"

  • Yeah... I'd rather spend some time doing those manually and not risk losing money (or even worse) because of a mere couple seconds less on the internet.

  • Call me a conspirator or whatever you want, but this seems like a "under-the-carpet" cope -- "I can't/won't bother learning how to configure Linux, so I'll throw a fit, raise a baseless assumption about it and move on to my safe bubble, i.e Winblows.". Because even if it does have lack of better options for battery -- it does have lots of user control. Which you should prioritize over being "spoonfed" by the system. Specially in times like these that anyone can track your device even if it is turned off thanks to bluetooth.

  • Why not? It's simple, lightweight, has a lot of interesting commands that fills its respective niche really well (btop, for instance) and (the best of all) it doesn't explode my PC everytime I run such commands.

  • My "rite of passage" to the magical world of GNU/Linux was... well... boredom. My Windows install was run fresh, with TCPOptimizer, with some things removed out of its core... until I took the decision of "trying to figure out how to use Linux even if it means losing my sanity."

    ...and here we are. Sanity is still intact tho...

    ...I think. :^)

  • "Not exactly Linux", but FreeBSD. Gave it a couple tries but gave up when I realized its minimalism is a placebo at best and its "super security features" can (also) be achieved on any other standard Linux distribution.

  • When folks will stop with the "If Linux won't become another Windows, it'll fail" mentality? Linux is not Winblows -- and we really mean it. To "increase adoption" users need to acknowledge (only) this -- that both Windows and Linux differs from one another and that won't change in any time soon.

  • Asides from "ew installing Winblows stuff in my distro ewwww" that will be a gamechanger if they do it right.

  • Docker + nextdns image that i built.

  • What if my board has barely any available ram for that? (Right now its running sway, docker w/ nextdns and playing a 24/7 livestream through ffplay/yt-dlp and the available ram varies between 90MiB to 300 MiB.)

  • No, but I used this back when I was a little penguin and I had to "see" something working on Linux.

  • That'd be true if I were a Winblows tryhard. Thankfully, it's not the case. :^)

  • We haven't, but there's this thing called "hierarchy". There is God, and its subordinates (angels, archangels, etc), and all the way under theres us -- humans. And below humans, the rest of the Gods creations -- dogs, cats, etc. And the logic behind this is diversity and beauty. And yes, even on a flaw (suffering, as mentioned here like a some sort of Gods curse rather than our "natural flaw" "why we suffer?", etc) can bestow beauty on its own. Why? Because everything have sense when we acknowledge that God is behind all suffering -- no matter how critical it is.Because He is Our Father, and The One and Only. We are His Children, and in suffering is how we learn that we are flawed and we need His Guidance.

    I kinda tried to avoid being "biblical", but I had to in the end, heh.

  • Simply put -- if God wanted to create perfect, flawless creations He have created us Gods. And we aren't Gods.

    "b-but why we suffer, why (insert negative outcome here)"

    Because we aren't God(s), but God creatures. For the same reason dogs cannot talk and rationale like us -- we suffer, and God does not.

  • Imagine giving away user control and privacy for more battery life.

  • why would a perfect God create a universe at all?

    God is perfect -- its creations are not.

    And before you ask, "Why God created such flawed creations then if He is so perfect?"

    Because only God is perfect.
