Didn’t knew that ! :/ I’m sure that wasn’t the case in the past (It was only called KMS at the time).
This is also why it still up and running on GitHub?
Edit: After a quick research I couldn’t find any info, do you have any reputable link to back your claims?
Edit2:
Where can I donate? MAS project doesn’t accept donations and it’s free. It’s because it’s a community project and involves many contributors, splitting donations is not practical, and also because profiting from piracy is not good.
I can use VM maybe but I don’t want to pay for the Windows license.
If this is your only concern, there’s a script floating arround on github (MAS 104k *) that activate any Windows version.
Not sure I’m allowed to send any links because this could be considerate as piracy and probably isn’t allowed in this community.
But you have enough keywords to find your way with any search engine if that’s a route you would consider.
I dont know if this could be your issue, however I had some strange big black shadows arround GTK apps. After trying all different possible themes, playing arround with config files, CSS… Nothing helped.
However, on the Archlinux wiki, they mentioned something interesting: The compositor.
While this really depends what DE and what compositor is installed on your distro by default, I got rid off all the strangeness by enabling something in the compositor.
XFCE team here !!! Though I was kinda surprised they didn’t enable XFwm (as stated by arch linux wiki) by default and had some strange issues with GTK apps (big black shadow arround apps). Took me some time to figure that out.
If I had to chose I would probably go for KDE. Gnome is great and it’s nice to have alternatives that are so different and also up to date ! However, I hate GNOME’s design choice. I hate my Mac and Gnome feels to similar to even bother with it.
Not directly an issue, however I found NextCloud and OwnCloud to much bloated and not very responsive. I tried all the possible alternatives and they all had some strange drawbacks (proprietary database, chunked into some weired file format…)
Sure I could just use my nextcloud instance without all the possible add-ons, but I just wanted a simple and a reliable cloud service that just syncs my files between my devices without all the bloat.
My final argument would be that it is written in PHP… Programming language of the past ! While I’m probably wrong on this one and I do have no idea of the programming language realm and probably evolved over time, I do prefer something written in a newer more “secure” language.
So that’s why I settled with syncthing. It’s not a cloud service but a syncing service. It’s different but has the same purpose in the end with more configuration options on how/where and when to sync between my devices.
As a final note (cauz I remembered something) 3 years ago I had a really hard time to make NextCloud work properly, via docker, with my reverse proxie (Treafik) I had to allow it manually in a configuration file and still didn’t work great, but was probably my skill issues at that time :).
Thank you ! 😄
Thanks :) ! Could you tell me what use case/purpose such function can have from a dev perspective?
Very cool and nice share !!
I’m also an organize freak and also have my own bash script to loop over my files and encode everything to AV1 :).
While my script is ugly as fuck (not a coder here so I’m doing what I can XD) it works and fills my need.
I won’t use your script directly, however I will take inspiration of your bash script code ! That’s okay I guess?
Thanks for sharing with the community !!
Because $$$ !
floppyfw : turn a floppy into a firewall
Wait what? :o
Yeaaah I hate to admit it… But Samba is the only crossplatform sharing protocol that works with every OS… I wish I could switch to NFS.
Looks cool :)
typing tests
How can I say… My Android keyboard is probably lacking the proper dictionary and is probably less reactive than the native app installed by default. Not sure this test can be accurately (even professionally) tested on any device :/.
Even a typing test on a keyboard is odd. My grandma surely gonna fail this test and not because she’s old, but because she doesn’t know where the different keys/letters are placed on the keyboard.
Or am I missing something here?

😂😂
Some people will probably disagree with me but I consider Debian stable as a server distribution not as a daily drive system.
Debian testing is probably the better choice if you want to daily drive Debian or consider or more up to date distro. If you’re relatively new to GNU/Linux, don’t bother with bleeding edge distros or exotics ones like Arch, EndeavourOS, Gentoo, NixOS…
If you find your way to distrowatch.com you will see EndeavourOS very high in the rankings, but it’s a rolling release distribution. While it’s easier to maintain/install than Arch, it has a learning curve and needs regular attention and reading the docs/forum.
I have seen a lot of people recommend the following:
One person but 10 fingers to write the code. That’s a lot of guys at work here.
Thanks for the tip !! I will certainly give it a look, It’s kinda annoying for my family members to always connect via wireguard.
For me it’s fine though, I even route my traffic to ProtonVPN but my family is always nagging how they need to “do something” to get access to the hosted services or that it “doesn’t work”.
Except that everything is under your control and not managed by a third party, not much I think.
If this setup works for you and you’re happy with it, just keep it going.
If you have time to spare, want to learn new things, tinkerer arround with network security, certificates, DNS, reverse proxy and, and, and… You can give it a try in a virtual machine and docker containers. But keep in mind that’s not an easy way and involves a lot of personal time before you get a GOOD working self-hosted / exposed services.
I wouldn’t recommend to open any port on your router except for a secured tunnel like wireguard and connect to your services through that tunnel. Opening port 443/80 on your router is bound to some heavy automated scanning and brute force by bots. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge/tool/hardware, this is just going to put you at risk of ddos and remote attacks.
That’s way something like cloudflare is populare, they most of the time take care of that nuisance and also why something like wireguard is popular among the selfhosting community.
As long as the EU doesn’t reinvent the wheel, why not? I mean if they are going to fork Linux and rewrite a EU-based linux OS, this would further divide the community and make issues and security a lot more wacky… Not sure this is a good idea.
If you’re tired of python’s and venv issues, give miniconda a try. It solved most of my issues with dependencies and different python version in scripts.
It’s probably a skill issue regarding to pip/pipx/venv… But miniconda really made everything easier.
Aren’t those mutual exclusive? Or is there a specific reason why they are directly soldered to the mainboard?
