You can definitely write C# code based on all open source things. Microsoft open sourced C# and it is used on Linux too

Why are you attacking so many loud majorities at once? Not everyone that likes some of those hates systemd or belittles users for

It's probably best to use an immutable distro like NixOs or Fedore SilverBlue when installing for people who don't know Linux and don't want to learn

A pipe would be: cat /dev/random | tee /dev/null

I've been using this for a long time, never knew I could press Ctrl + R again. Thanks!

Wine might translate the windows calls to Linux depending on what the malware does

In that case I would like to recommend you install Arch at least once. Not to actually use in production, but it made a lot of things click for me that help me with server stuff too. Just follow along with the install guide on the wiki inside of a VM.

If you really want to know what applications are essential I'd install a window manager and not just install the gnome package. Though even just installing your favourite DE will work fine.

I've heard other people recommend Gentoo and Linux from scratch as well for this purpose since they go even deeper, but that may be too much to start off with and I haven't done that myself

I run wiki.js for documentation for my home lab, but also things like the custom rom setup for my phone. However it's hard to keep it up to date as I forget it exists. I mostly use it to document setting up windows server core with different roles as I don't need to do that often, but most tutorials on the web are SEO optimised with low quality

It's patat or friet in Dutch. I think it depends on region mostly?

Who cares with storage nowadays? I just use filelight or command line based tools to determine big storage hogs when I need to

Last I checked windows 11 can be installed without TPM support. I think rufus even has a simple checkbox for it and Chris Titus's winutil can modify an ISO to do the sams

Am I blind or do they call tar an archive format and not a compression format as you say?

This is very different from docz or odt, but maybe its worth looking into converting markdown or latex to PDF with something like pandoc. Maybe that or some other more open and less complex format might help with this?

Personally I use tailscale which should punch through double NAT. It's a wire guard based mesh VPN, but an exit node should make it a normal VPN

Just see your systems as cattle, not pets. That way you can do this. Usually done through infrastructure as code like Ansible. NixOs is perfect for this use case

Does anyone know if firewalls like OPNSense can do IPS for ads and tracking instead of "normal" intrusions like malware?

That looks really interesting! Does this exist for other languages like Rust?

Being distracted by a live stream while cutting people off, speeding, running red lights and ignoring police roadblocks while driving a lorry from Spain through the UK to France

Sadly you won't always have a choice. My university has disabled any non-Microsoft client support. They do this to "protect the privacy of the teachers". Currently I'm running a windows VM on my server with Outlook to forward the emails to my personal email. Which in the end is even worse for them GDPR wise

Very interesting, might have to check that out sometime
