Yes, but OP mentioned nothing about Cloudflare.

Sweet. Both OPNSense and pfSense firewalls have the ability to tie into MaxMind’s GeoIP service. Not sure what your perimeter device is, but it’s pretty easy on those. And free.

Best solution is a VPN to your home network.

However, if you want to host it publicly, at least restrict access to it via GeoIP. For example, if you live in Europe and only need access from there, only allow the areas in Europe you travel to and block everything else. This will greatly reduce your attack surface.

Also, make sure everything is patched. Always. And implement something like fail2ban to deny repeated failed logins, along with a reverse proxy.

I ran KDE for a year or so recently. The screen sharing bug, since I rely on screen sharing greatly for work, made me switch to something else. If that hadn’t existed, I’d have probably stuck with it.

KDE is a great DE, but I’ve always found it more buggy than the rest. It also pushes the envelope, though, and really is a cutting edge DE.

GNOME might be more “stable”, but I’ve also found you need to have at least a half dozen extensions and GNOME Tweaks to make it usable OOTB. Also, it uses as much RAM just doing nothing as a Windows install.

KDE has always been “Wow this is cool and very well designed” until I always run into a bug I can’t get past and have to switch. This has been my cycle for half a decade or more:

1. I hear about KDE’s latest cool features (HDR support was the latest) and give it a try.
2. I use it for several months.
3. An update breaks something that is critical to my workflow and I have to switch to something else.

These days, though, I use Cinnamon. It is the definition of “just works” and other than network management GUI elements being kind of meh (especially for VLANs), I’ve found it to be rock solid.

Wow. Never seen someone defend porch pirates before. What a hot take.

I know Pop_OS! has some excellent Optimus controls built into their distro. I haven’t used NVidia in a while, though, since I went all AMD for better driver support.

Debian and Linux Mint.

Debian for mission critical stuff like servers or things I don’t want to futz with, like HTPCs, work machines, etc.

Mint for my gaming desktop because it’s a bit newer on kernels and such.

How secure an OS is depends entirely on the configuration. A Linux install can be less secure than Windows or macOS, if configured so.

Linux tends to be more secure OOTB because distro devs tend to be security conscious. Android is also fairly secure, since it has no root access, sandboxes applications to a degree, and has other hardening employed. However, Android is also very vast and built for various devices by many manufacturers, so it also depends on them.

Not really news. It’s been floating around 2% for a while.

Look…it’s a shit mouse, but all you had to do is press on the right-front corner for right click after you configured it to do so.

I hated the thing and would never get one again, but if you’re going to criticize it, at least point out things that are actually a problem.

I had a first gen Magic Mouse and you could definitely add right click to it.

And they still put the port on the bottom where you can’t charge and use it at the same time. Garbage.

Don’t forget accounting software. And Pixel art maker. And Eve Online interface.

Hopefully this is sarcasm

Wow. It’s almost like we’ve been warning for years that putting backdoors into software, systems, and encryption would allow nefarious parties to exploit them.

I’m all for Sodium batts in cars, but my understanding is this battery tech is a different chemical composition than other Sodium Ion batteries. Most of those are not solid state AFAIK.

Actually exciting battery tech that isn’t just fluff. They actually built the thing and tested it, rather than it being a theoretical, not-easily-produced thing and it worked.

As others have said, this is for grid-scale and not EVs, but still exceptional progress and very important for energy storage.

That article screams “written by an AI”. It repeats itself so much, it’s like a kid trying to hit the 1k word requirement for an essay in high school English.

So you’re using Hyprland WM… I’m assuming to have a minimalistic Window Manager… But you want an app launcher.

No offense, but FFS just use a DE at that point. You’re just creating a DE with extra steps. KDE is nice and fairly lightweight.

Ok bud. Sure thing.
