I’m sorry, maybe I can’t follow as a European, but what do you reference?

Thank you very much for those insights!!

Would you give your perspective anyway, as I would be quite interested, although I’m not the one you talked to?

Isn’t spraying with poison the more cruel way to kill it?
Either it will die during an immediate fight for life or bring the poison to the nest, where all of them slowly die.

Utter bullshit…

Because of all the nice feedback about OpenSUSE:
SUSE was my first (bought) Linux distribution, at a time when I would have spent days downloading an ISO, SUSE was available with a manual in store. That was nice.

But then I had an AVM Fritz! ISDN card and it was a complete shit show to get this working. Especially as YAST(2?) didn’t support the configuration I needed, but every time you opened it, it would overwrite your manual changes in some configuration files.
(Edit: I’ll probably need to add, that this was like 25 years ago. So besides “fuck, I’m old”, my perspective in SUSE is very probably not up-to-date)

After that I hopped through a few distros and mostly stayed with basic Debian.

Nowadays I’m mostly using Manjaro (or just Arch itself, if I don’t need X), because I like the Arch package system and actually also the whole system architecture… Don’t exactly know what it is, but I feel much more at home.
With apt I sometimes found myself in situations, where a fresh install will resolve things faster than trying to restore/save the system. With Arch I always was somehow able to restore everything.

Can someone tell me how Tumbleweed differs/excels?
Thanks in advance!
Currently waiting for my new laptop (Framework 16 :-D) and that would be a nice opportunity to try something new.
But as I need my device for work, it’s important to me, that I really have it under my control and am not depending on some half-baked configuration utility like YAST was.

Edit: I’m also playing with the thought of moving to something immutable. NixOS looked nice in concept, but the more I read about it, the more I see that it’s more suitable for more server than my laptop - but maybe I’m wrong here, as I don’t have any hands-on experience

Microsoft has built a number of safety features into Windows Recall to ensure that the service can’t run secretly in the background. When Windows Recall is enabled, it places a permanent visual indicator icon on the Taskbar to let the user know that Windows Recall is capturing data. This icon cannot be hidden or moved.

Oh my, that one is really cute

Software runs on processing power. Doesn’t matter if it’s mechanical, electrical or biological computing power.

The important part is, that something is processing it.
And although by now software development through abstraction feels disconnected from just specialised algorithms: everything will break down into numbers and some form of algorithm to process the information

You probably shouldn’t go for the clit while driving

Ah, alright
I currently use wireguard to access my home LAN. just hoped you had done experience with a nice system, so you don’t need to do it by hand - especially syncing my smartphone photos.
Maybe I’ll give immich another chance

Thanks for the answers! :-)

Thanks!

Just one question: How do you sync your photos to your NAS on the go?

Yeah, I’m having a hard time deciding about that.

On the one hand I’m often in business trips and want to be at least able to recover my data easily if something happens.

On the other hand getting the laptop stolen with all the data is a nightmare.

Didn’t look into current solutions for quite some time though. As I’m currently waiting for a new laptop, this could be a good time to check something out.
Anyone with some suggestions? (Will look into the encrypted FS OP recommended, but having options and opinions never hurts)

Edit: ok, just realised that APFS is Apple File System. So that’s not gonna roll for me, as I’m on Linux and would like to have something that’s actually designed and developed for it. Don’t know anything about Linux APFS support, but I’m a bit traumatised by NTFS and anyway I don’t want to have anything to do with Apple

Anyone with experience with encrypted LUKS and data recovery?
Some buzzwords for options would also greatly help me
Thanks for anything in advance!

Maybe I’m wrong, but looks like cancer tissue

Yeah, Russia should just fuck off in Ukraine and no civilians would get hurt anymore

Well, a bit maybe, yes

But most annoying is the swipe detection, which feels much more stubborn
English is quite ok, but else… Especially mixed languages don’t work well, and I’m always having to switch between German and English

In Austria we usually also speak about monthly payments

Heroin withdrawal is shit, but compared to alcohol or benzos it’s at least not deadly. Also opiates are not hard on the body.

The problem with opiates is mostly getting clean ones - and the money for it.

In Switzerland they have a program, where they hand clean heroin to addicts and with a safe clean supply they can work, get a grip on their life again, and they start to reduce the dosage themselves after some time.

The social stigma and the idea to punish someone out of addiction is obviously bullshit.
People usually self medicate because of problems. So solving those problems is the right approach and not just taking away the crutch.

Also the state is losing quite some money with the prohibition - on multiple fronts

Friend and I started doing water cooling stuff.
He could only play in winter, because he could place his water bucket on the balcony

So it also doesn’t show up at theirs with ‘currently playing…’?

Honest question, never bothered to look into it, but always found it weird, that everyone in three friend list sees what I’m doing - although I get the incentive

What has Wikileaks to do with Snowden?
