Are you really complaining about the fact that we need to deploy firewalls?


I am complaining about the fact that deploying firewall wrong will open your network to everyone. Deploying NAT wrong wont.


Can't speak for IOS but for android users I highly recommend Firefox for android, since you can install ublock origin within it. Let's be real, browsing the modern internet is downright impossible without it today.


"They are rare edge cases" are we on the same internet?


Just go for whatever DE looks pretty to you, I personally like KDE. Don't be afraid to switch to a different desktop later on, its just a few packages to install most of the time.

As for distros, pick something established that looks good to you. You said you have experience, so you probably know what you want from a distro. I ran arch on my machine a lot but recently switched to fedora for its simpler installation.


You know, I tried KDE recently on a UBUNTU install it's got some nice features, but man is it buggy when it comes to scaling on 4K monitors. Also, the UI is a little rough. I switched back to gnome.


Well the look and feel is subjective, I like KDE because it feels like what windows could have been if it was done well.

As for the scaling, I use it on a 1080PC laptop screen but also sometimes my 3440x1440 display and haven't really run into bad scaling. Were you using X11 or Wayland? I've been on Wayland for years.


yeah im on X11 always have display issues with wayland as I use a lot of legacy applications


It was honestly a downgrade i ended up just putting the 4 digits I had before at the end of my username cause surprise the name was taken immediately


I haven't logged in since . I wonder if they'll delete my account eventually - as I essentially don't have a username because of that


Your account has almost certainly been assigned a new username already. From the same link:

> Starting March 4, 2024, Discord will begin assigning new usernames to users who have not chosen one themselves. If your username still has a discriminator (username*#0000*), Discord will begin assigning you a new, unique username as soon as March 4, 2024. We will try to assign you a unique username that is similar to your current username.


> I wonder if they'll delete my account eventually

Just some days ago I received warning from Discord that they'll delete my account since I haven't logged in for two years.

> Your Discord account has been inactive for over 2 years, and is scheduled to be deleted on $DATE. But don’t worry! Dust off the cobwebs and prevent your account from being deleted just by logging in.


I mean, nothing stops you from taking the device tree from raspbian and tinkering with other distros. But that's true for most other boards since they have to ship a device tree with their official image.

Raspberry Pi supports their images long term however, so you won't have to do that anytime soon.

Another benefit of raspberry pi is its popularity, there are just more projects out there compared to less known SBC manufacturers. Iirc the Archlinux arm project have images for the raspberry pi 4 (maybe 5).


How can you say its open source and 3 sentences later that it has a proprietary license.

Their EULA forbids distributing the software, hence not open source.


> The Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers, criticised the approach as “automated suspicion”. It said: “Officers must not be subjected to opaque or untested tools that risk misinterpreting unsustainable workload pressures, sickness or overtime as indicators of wrongdoing.”

Oh so when they target police officers these measures are questioned, but when police departments deploy them to spy on the general populace I guess its fine...


My thoughts exactly.

I don't recall them protesting against treating every passerby as a suspect in the lineup, so here's my heartfelt message to the Police Federation: f* off, nice to see you on the receiving end for a change.


Idk man, amongst thousands of layoffs (assuming op is in the USA) I'd take "blood money" over uh... starvation


If it was the choice given, I can understand.

But I don't think people having the skills needed by FAANGS are at risk of starvation, even if not working for a large conglomerate. Do you?

That's why I am genuinely asking OP their reasons.


We should be talking about that
