Chandler? Is that you?

As long as the OS was supported, updates were available.

But yes, I loaded a nice Fedora on it… 😉

Overpriced hardware comes with a boon: It lasts longer. I am by no means an apple fanboy, but when I discovered the 12 year old Mac of my dad still performed like mid-range PCs with Windows, I was quite surprised.

Still not buying their hardware though…

Yes, it is our entire airforce. Now send yours!

Ise kde, not gnome.

Joey, is that you?

Aside from the obvious (company providing all the necessary tools) why not using libreoffice and saving it as M$ excel?

Nope

And here I thought AEB was about protecting pedestrians and avoiding collisions, instead of being knocked out in a fight caused by such an event… Glad that got cleared out…

/s

Yes! Been using it for a long time now! Never had any (major) issues!

😱

So pure out curiosity… and science! how many liters of toothpaste did you consume over the last 3 days?

The I can only recommend you to start automating everything you do, to make tour job easier and make more time to slack 😝

Start small, and build on that.

Try Ansible, it is easy and allows you to do some really cool stuff. It helped me migrate 500+ systems from KVM to vmware, where no commercial tool was able to help me…

There is nothing more important than security patches on a system.

I used to work at an FMI, which’s motto was “keep things stable”. Even the ciso department bought that crap. Until we hired a white hat hacker. The only thing given was the name of the company. He managed to get into the building, access an employee’s workstation and install a root kit on one of the most important financial message tracking systems (you know, the one that instructs other systems to transfer money), using a security bug, which would have been patched if they kept a regular (security) update cycle. After shit hit the fan, many people were fired and an update cycle was introduced.

No system is important enough to not patch. And if you believe it is, you’re wrong.

Surprise… Surprise… It’s a snap!

dnf upgrade And package-cleanup --cleandupes Should have fixed it.

You may also want to check up on regulations and laws of your country.

In Belgium, for instance, I am responsible for any and all attacks originating from my PC. If you were hacked and said hackers used your computer to stage an attack, the burden of proof is upon you. So instead of hiring very expensive people to trace the real source of an attack originating from your own PC, enabling a firewall just makes sense, besides making it harder on hackers…

PostmarketOS might be a possibility…

I honestly have no idea. But I discovered it a decade ago when I needed to process a short film. Haven’t touched it since.
