I run opnsense, so I need to dump pi-hole. But I don’t have the energy right now to do that.

Pi-Hole was pretty straightforward at the time and I did not look back since then. Annoying, but easy.

That’s my case. I send every new subdomain to my nginx IP on pi-hole and then use nginx as a reverse proxy

Turns out reglious zealots fiddle with kids no matter the god. How surprising

Tell that to someone starting out and look at their deer in the headlight face. Then you’ll realize that the point went over your head.

My name is French, but my initials are close to an English name (and that’s my everyday nickname as well).

So it was easy to get an English nickname.

I got gifted a P1S, so I use it. But I stopped updating the FW and use Orca Slicer with the printer in LAN mode. Not optimal, but better than completely giving the control away to Bambu Lab

The 4070 was released almost 3 years ago, so the driver should be decently stable and not cause that much issues, no matter the distro.

Just know that whatever distro you are choosing, it is a different workflow than Windows and it will take time to get used to it, and there will be some friction. And that’s fine. The first month is the hardest and it gets a lot easier fast.

Take a popular distro because it has a bigger user base and the chances that someone else has already fixed your issue and detailed the steps is a lot bigger than a niche distro.

If you want to easily test a few distro, take a usb key and install Ventoy on it. It will allow you to plug the usb key and drop ISO directly on it and boot from it. It will allow you to easily test distros without having to reformat the usb key each time.

Depends on what access you have on your PC.

My two steps are always the same

1. debloater
2. i install chocolatey and use that to manage my applications if possible.

Then, depending on your work requirements, I would deactivate OneDrive if not used.

What do you recommend to find a private tracker? A while back, I tried to find one, but none of them were available for new users. Granted that I haven’t used torrents in a while.

Gender affirming surgeries, blood rituals to Baphomet, same thing.

He’s a grifter, of course he will vote for someone that will make grifting easier.

The issue, as always, is that Plex started to put free existing features behind a paywall to squeeze more money out of their client base instead of adding something and charging for it.

VC money came in and now the VC wants to cash in on the investment.

Tales as old as men. Corpos aren’t your friends and the processes are there to placate employees and then fire them.

If the apartment/house layout is good for the roomba, it is a great tool. It doesn’t replace vacuuming and floor washing, but it does reduce the dirtness on the floor.

Not OP but I can share my journey through my career.

Depends on where you are in the world and your work ethic.

I was a terrible student with a hard time understanding harder maths (due to my schooling, but that is something specific to my region), and I was still able to graduate with a 3/4.3 score. It was a lot of hard work that I wasn’t prepared to do due to my work ethic. I had to learn to be at least decent fast and the first year was brutal.

My experience is that university is a lot harder than the work after university. But the corporate world can be soul crushing. In big corpos, you usually do the same part of a process where as during university, you do a lot of interesting and varied stuff.

My electrical engineering program was generalist with each semester being a different domain of electrical engineering and me being interesting in embedded electronics. So doing a semester of power transmission lines was brutal because I wasn’t that organised and didn’t like the courses.

Society tend to romanticize engineering, but there is a lot of busywork and project management and you get caught in administrative bullshit just like any other job (ask a software engineer thoughts on stand-ups and agile and be ready to hear horror stories).

But, if you really like engineering, there are those moments of pure engineering that makes you forget all the bullshit around and make the career worthwhile.

So life rambling aside, engineering is a worthwhile career. It is not an easy path, but the work is manageable though sometime overwhelming. Treat university like a 9-5 job with some overtime and you’ll do fine.

I didn’t have to worry about the financial side of things because I live a place where school is cheap and student financial aid is plentiful. So keep that in mind when making your decision because I cannot comment on that part.

When I have to use a Windows machine for whatever reason, the first thing I do is to install Chocolatey so that I can have a decent package manager.

So back to cable packages. Fucking dumb

Tired of the constant pop ups in windows 10. The constant upselling of their product.

An OS shouldn’t get in the way of what you are doing and Windows was always popping up some bullshit.

Employers can go suck a big fat cock.

If the enployee can communicate with their managers and co-worker in English when needed and talk in an other language when they talk between them, there’s nothing wrong.

Lemmy is a social media after all, and we have to assume that what we write is public.

Lemmy is great because many instances allow people to create accounts without an email, so you can create burner accounts if you want.

This isn’t an oversight. If you aren’t comfortable with the coversations you are participating in or the upvote/downvote you make, you either don’t participate or you create a burner account for that.
