What do people think of the Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2? It’s basically the same thing as the Apple tag, minus the apple.

Oops, I forgot my twin knows my username.

On the plus side, I have a follower!

Yes we do.

I disagree!

Seems to me though that the Israelis only have themselves to blaim though.

Amazing how there really is an XKXD for everything 😘👌

Can’t mention Sublime without also a nod to Notepad++

For a moment there I did not know that word is the name of a software application. Reading your sentence literally is… odd.

I just run it all on a retired laptop. Low power, quiet, plenty of performance. With a NAS next to it, even storage is no issue.

No offense, but this question is what is holding many people back that would otherwise be on the fence or ready to go.

If there were just Mac / Windows / Linux, it would be an easy sell.

But we have Mac / Windows / two million Linux flavors.

It does not matter which one you pick, it is bound to cause questions or issues. And once you’ve chosen a Linux flavor, someone asks you why you chose that desktop and not foobar9000 instead which everyone knows runs much better on your Linux flavor anyway.

I honestly think that Linux’ biggest enemy is Linux. Sure, choice is good, but this is too much. Way too much.

I am a worker ant in a colony of ten thousand ants. There is no chance in hell that my voice will be heard. On the contrary: if I make too much noise, I will be purged.

It’s not my circus. If corpo wants to run crappy bloatware (Win11) then that’s on them. And they do. Shrug.

You are thinking from a technical point of view. I agree there, but this is not about “can you?”

Corporations don’t care about workers. They care about security and legal stuff. So you will use their officially sanctioned OS and tools, or you will be fired for violating their policies. There’s no arguing that.

Small businesses don’t have such policies, and workers have freedoms. That’s where you can do these things. But big organisations are lost to us. Accept or leave.

Every corporate setting ever.

Corpo says use Windows, you have to do that. Circumvent it and you are going to get fired. Even using a nonstandard browser, or whatever, can get you in hot water. Corpo protect their legal standing, workers are irrelevant.

Every office job ever runs on Windows & Office. Fact of life, cannot change it.

Maybe excluding the smallest businesses where the people are actually still human.

“here” is not a useful descriptor in that sentence.

This image is hilariously unhelpful 😂 but we can work it out.

I see no possibility of this going wrong. /s

Nothing spectacular.

Git, Paperless, UniFi Controller, Pihole, Mattermost chat, Immich, Home Assistant, Frigate, Syncthing, Hoarder. Just stuff for myself, my home, and my friends. And 🏴‍☠️

And you?

Valid! I also tinker with selfhosting using Docker containers, didn’t think of firewalls the same way. Thank you.

This is perfectly valid! I to a lot of tinkering with selfhosting using Docker containers, and I have learned a ton from that. I feel a bit silly that I didn’t make the connection with firewalls - just tinkering for fun!
