Microsoft wants $30 to let you keep using Windows 10 securely for another year
  • The problem with that would be that it would make switching to another linux ditribution very, very easy. They would have 99.99% compatibility so a lot of people would switch to another distro if they add stuff like recall.

    They would also be opening the can of worms that is massive software support for linux (which is arguably already opening.)

  • Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it
  • I doubt the os switch is happening too, some will probably switch but that will be a small amount, either they get Linux or afaik all other "popular" options require new hardware anyways (Macos)

    I think many will just stay on windows 10 if their hardware doesn't support 11 but ehh

    Difficult to say, that's why I'm waiting on the EOL for headlines like "millions of pcs vulnerable due to missing updates" or "maybe we were a little hard on crowdstrike"

  • Encrypted Chat App ‘Session’ Leaves Australia After Visit From Police
  • Linton said that last year the Australian Federal Police (AFP) visited a Session employee at their home in the country. “There was no warrant used or meeting organised, they just went into their apartment complex and knocked on their front door,” Linton said. The AFP asked about the Session app and company

    But why

  • Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it
  • I'm just waiting for the EOL of window 10 to see which of the following will happen:

    1. Many PCs will stop getting updates, people don't care
    2. Many PCs will be replaced for windows 11
    3. Turns out people already have replaced their PCs due to other reasons
    4. Microsoft removes the hardware requirements
    5. People switch to another OS
    6. People just don't buy a home PC anymore
    7. ????
    8. Profit???
  • DNS trouble with pihole running with podman
  • Well, on linux I'd use systemd's resolved which would listen on localhost:53 (it would also point resolv.conf there) and then set resolved's uplink server to your custom port. I don't have the exact config in mind but it seems to support custom uplink ports("expects IPv4 or IPv6 address specifications of DNS servers [...] optionally take a port number separated with ":"[...]")

  • [SOLVED] Cronjob with `hdparm -y` to spin down hard disks?
  • Use -B instead.

    Sets Advanced Power Management feature. Possible values are between 1 and 255, low values mean more aggressive power management and higher values mean better performance. Values from 1 to 127 permit spin-down, whereas values from 128 to 254 do not. A value of 255 completely disables the feature.)
