@Viss Welcome aboard Windows 10 refugees! 😄
(Windows being SO BAD people are willing to try Linux out... is amusing. I love Linux, my switch to Linux on Desktop a bit more than a year and a half ago was the BEST DECISION EVER... used to Windows and ssh into my Linux machines, but SO MUCH NICER with a desktop... Why did I wait so long? Yeah, yeah, stupid installed software etc)

copilot. recall. ads in the startup menu. the gaff with updates and empty folder. just throwing windows 10 users under the bus to get windows 11 adoption. only performative GDPR compliance.
you screw over your customers and ignore their needs for your own agenda long enough, even captive audiences will look elsewhere.
@paul_ipv6 @Viss @catsalad @microsoft
In general, if you look the the comment section of news about tech and Win 11, its rife with folk moving from Win 10 and trying Linux. They tend to be the tech people for family. Once they find out how capable Linux can be, I think we'll see gradual shift. I'm seeing stories of folk moving older family to Linux, and not once regretting it.
Sure, you'll still have a sizable chunk of windows die-hards, but I think a lot more people are going to try Linux.

@Viss Thank you @microsoft❗
@catsalad @Viss @microsoft Don't thank them yet. The downside of more popular Linux, is it becomes a target for the hackers, if it gets popular enough.

@latelesley @Viss @microsoft Am hacker, so I see this as an absolute win!

@Viss LOL they're not actually sending it to space, they're just downlinking on uplink frequencies. It may be they intend to use their satellites to jam other people's satellite control systems, deliberately... in war.

@ai6yr sigh. i have starlink. im not happy with it. i need to move to a mobile radio, but its been pulling teeth trying to figure out what mobile routers work with google fi. they recently bumped their usage plan to 100 gig a month, which is double starlinks 'backup link' cap of 50g. and i could have a backup isp 'effectively for free' on my existing plan.

@Viss I have a mobile router in my backyard, but no cards, I really should figure out how to have alternate routing capability without paying through the nose every month for a cell data plan that I only need now and then.

@ai6yr its SUPER FUCKING HANDY to have a backup internet connection. google fi will give you a free data sim that will tap your existing data bucket, or you can have a separate subscription and use another carrier - there are peplink routers that will even do dual sim so you can load balance across two mobile carriers for even more redundancy! just depends on how much you wanna spend

@Viss @ai6yr I've been using Google Fi SIMs for a while for backup internet.
This is a mobile router I bought in 2022: GL-X750V2 (Spitz). It has worked well with Google Fi SIMs and connects to my UniFi WAN2 port.
More recently I've been using a Peplink router with both Peplink and Eiotclub eSIMs for travel. It's overkill but useful with four external 5G antennas and a USB-C power cable:
- Peplink BR1 Mini 5G (with WiFi) (MAX-BR1-MINI-5GN-T-PRM)
- Peplink 4-pin to USB-C power cable (ACW-791)

@NilaJones @scottdavidherr @ai6yr ive used an old gl.inet mudi from 2020 with google fi but i got meh speeds, i think largely because of the reception, and not because the radio didnt support it. I've been looking at the new spitz routers, as theyre way cheaper than the peplink ones, but i cant find any real evidence of people with google fi using gl.inet gear and getting decent lte or 5g speeds. but i can with the peplink br1-mini!

@Viss Alpine would be tricky. There isn't much of an attack surface other than the Linux kernel, musl, and busybox, aside from what you decide to shove into it.

@DaveMWilburn how many times have you encountered someone looking inside a container for threats?
-
@Viss I bet plenty of people's containers out there are still flashing 12:00.

@cityhallin dude ive seen containers rocking 4.x kernels. this year.

@DaveMWilburn how many times have you encountered someone looking inside a container for threats?
@Viss oh yeah, essentially zero! Yeah, if you can get in, then you're basically golden. Well, until/unless the container gets trashed and redeployed.

@DaveMWilburn so put the bug in alpine >:D

@DaveMWilburn alpine runs gitlab selfhosted (woo!) out of linode germany. and their gitlab is public, sooooo..

@Mustardfacial oh this is a genius idea

@Mustardfacial man i need to take a swing at this. i got a box in a colo with 24tb of space, a 10 gig connection, 256 gig of ram and is heavily underutilized.
