Usually, they can, if there are risk of violence appearing. You’re allowed to protest peacefully, but the current situation suggests the protest would be based on anger and maybe provocation.

I can understand that. And in the enterprise environment most users are not able to switch from Office and Outlook. Even if Outlook is not really very great and Office is something you almost never use in a way that LibreOffice is an adequate replacement.

It’s very obvious to me that Microsoft wants to ditch on-prem Windows Workstations and even Servers. There is no Office after 2025 for Windows Server anymore. There is no Windows Server after 2022. There is only Windows 10 or 11 in Azure HCI for Enterprise users.

The strategy for Workstations is not yet clear to me, but all products around Windows turn into SaaS.

Learn to use Linux. It’s the only way to have your hardware under your control. Fuck Office… get rid of this piece of shit of software now.

Of course, it’s better to use some frameworks for logging, especially because these verbose statements are often needed for assertions while unit testing the code. But it’s still equivalent to printf.

I use debugger sometimes. I actually like to load core dumps to take a look at the stack trace. But I usually don’t really need debugger interactively because when some error appears, I usually already have an idea what happened. And lots of embedded code needs timing in milliseconds, so debuggers won’t help.

Because if you invested a lot of time on carefully choosing the places where printf should be to get all the info you need, you just need to unset NDEBUG and voilà everything that you need is there again.

I like Shelly hardware. The devices default to local communication and cloud is optional. Custom firmware can also be used, but not really needed. I wished they made more kinds of IoT stuff.

Since the device state can be queried with HTTP requests, it’s easy to integrate it to my monitoring system (Prometheus/Grafana).

Most of my text files are from Unix/Linux systems, because I don’t work much on Windows. So Wordpad is more important than Notepad for me, because the latter one does not handle end-of-lines correctly.

I need to go 40km to work. It’s 30min by car. And 90min by public transportation. I don’t want to waste 3 hours a day when I can waste 1 hour.

And the range is a problem, if your time is limited.

No one says the devices are anti consumer, except for some that are intentionally made incompatible with common replacement parts (missing “apple logo”). The walled garden is.

The only case where I’d use a virus scanner is when I’d host a file server for Windows systems.

Btw, ClamAV is slow and generally awful. It has many false positives that you get spammed all the time. There are also cases where it doesn’t really find the virus (false negatives). It’s also buggy and it’s not a good sign for security product.

I’d still recommend Linux, if you want to be safe. Windows has never been designed with security in mind. It’s not even a proper multiuser system.

Of course, but I can see and understand what is patched and can see if I’m affected or not. In the previous version I haven’t been affected for 500 days.

You mean when you update the kernel? No one updates init on BSDs. This is mostly a entire world upgrade. But I’d never reboot from cron. My servers run 100 days without a reboot on average. In most cases there is no reason to update world, only the packages.

Reboot? Since when does Linux need a reboot? I’ve been thinking about migrating from FreeBSD to Linux, but now I am confused.

Many popular things are crappy. It is not an ideology, unless you consider the scientists who invented the WWW to be some freaks.

Flash wasn’t really useful, because many people couldn’t display these websites. It was the exact opposite of WWW. WWW enabled people to use hypertext and provided accessibility.

Adobe has already proved they don’t understand web technologies when creating Flash.

To learn how to fight, you need to take part in fights.

I use LaTeX. I needed to learn a lot about it to use it, but it’s the only thing that can set letters, paragraphs and book structure properly.

93000 mails since 2008 are just 2,1 GB. I have an archive on my home server where I also host my main IMAP server. I just move them from the inbox to Archives.YEAR.
