As someone who uses Windows for work and Linux for pleasure: one of the cons of Linux is the lack of integrated ubiquitous file sharing via SMB and UNC paths. Being able to “cd \\server\c$” and expect that to work with 99% of programs made in the last two decades, is pretty great.

“Hardcode a few pre-selected paths and their credentials in /etc/fstab” just doesn’t cut it. Neither does autofs.

What is an “AI storage service”?

Does that mean you just store your info in AI weights/contexts and hope it can regenerate an approximation of what you put in?

Because MAGA likes people who fuck babies. In both senses.

It’s always been wild to me how the seemingly-simplest change (“what is the name of this computer”) has so many little gotchas and quirks.

Fair enough. I’d never consider less to be a TUI program.

I’d say vi is in a fuzzy grey area below a tui. It’s more than a cli but shares a lot with cli programs; it pretty much has its own command line built in. At the same time it has nothing like dialog box or menus like normal tui programs.

I remember when toilet cameras were illegal and only on porn sites.

Guess everything changes when there’s money to be made.

Usually for these devices the application generates ZPL printer data directly. What application are you thinking of using?

Zebra indicates that there are CUPS drivers available for their printers on “some Linux distributions”

There’s also this GitHub repo which promises a better PPD file for Zebra printers.

They have scooters from the future??

What technological breakthroughs in e-scooter technology have been achieved in the next year?

Not a 7900 but my 5900 does for sure.

I’m not super-familiar with mod managers in general but my experience has been that they just work with proton more than you might expect. I know for sure that unity mod manager works fine in proton; I use it for railroader.

Because either way you’re taking a risk.

Security flaws and aging hardware are two obvious problems.

I’d very much question why you’d use windows 10 over something better supported— maybe not Linux but at least Windows Server OS.

CTRL-tilde or CTRL-backtick?

There are, but “long haul routes” are definitely better for a train.

What an incredibly infuriating waste of effort that would be so much better spent on trains, driverless or otherwise.

pam_faildelay almost does it, but it only delays on auth failure. You would want something that delays on success. Might be almost as simple as “if not” on a check on pam_faildelay.

I can’t find anything that quite fits your requirements.

Putting a NOPASSWD option on your sudo config should cover the removal of the password requirement, but this may be ill -advised; it is probably wiser to increase the timestamp_timeout duration.

The intentional delay is tougher, and for that it looks like you’d need to write a PAM module. pam_faildelay is very close to what you need, you’d just need to make it produce a delay on success as well as failure.

I prefer Quod Libet but I have fond memories of rhythmbox.

Ignore anyone who says anything about a “gaming” distro. There is literally no performance difference.

I’ve never heard of anyone suggest a gaming-focused distro for performance reasons.

It’s always for compatibility and shit-just-works reasons. And that is wildly different between distros.

System76 sells desktops too. Not sure about Tuxedo.
