I had AI produce this:

Nigerian Prince Laid Off After AI Takes Over Phishing Email Industry

In a shocking turn of events, a once-thriving Nigerian prince, known for his relentless pursuit of unsuspecting victims through elaborate phishing schemes, has been laid off as artificial intelligence has taken the lead in the malicious email market.

“I never thought I’d see the day when a chatbot could out-scam me,” lamented Prince Abubakar, who has spent the last decade crafting heartfelt emails promising vast fortunes in exchange for personal information. “I mean, I had a whole backstory about a lost treasure and a dying uncle! Now, these AIs are just spitting out generic messages at lightning speed.”

Industry experts report that AI-generated emails now account for over 70% of all phishing attempts, leaving human scammers like Prince Abubakar scrambling for work. “It’s just not fair,” he added. “I had a personal touch! I even included a picture of my royal palace!”

As he navigates the job market, Abubakar is considering a career change, possibly into AI ethics. “If I can’t beat them, I might as well join them,” he mused, “but I’ll need to work on my coding skills. I can’t just rely on my royal charm anymore.”

by packaging it for things like Unraid

Thanks for thinking of us beginners!

What’s the name mean?

I think that openssh or any ssh or ftp app should facilitate this.

For Mint and Windows users, Cinnamon is a pretty smooth transition too.

I switched from Windows to LMDE and Cinnamon a bit more than a year ago, and I enjoy it.

Some of our users are not technical at all. The initial training was reported as beneficial by all of those users. The ones that wanted to enjoy the games spent an hour or two on it, and the ones that didn’t cruised through the entry module in less than a half hour. The intermittent test emails are nice to keep those users’ spidey senses alert, and one of them actually clicked a link in a test email and got Rick rolled on knowbe4’s website.

I can definitely see how it’d be annoying because your team is comprised of experts.

Nice, I’ve been doing something similar, using the obsidian-git plug-in for Obsidian and the Working Copy app on iOS.

Obsidian is my front-end, and it saves the notes in markdown files in a git-synced folder on my computer.

The plug-in pushes and pulls automatically, and Working Copy does the same thing on iOS, just before opening the Obsidian app on iOS.

It’s okay. I had their top tier plan for a few years, but I hadn’t needed the vpn for anything until attempting to set up a media server.

Since switching to LMDE and setting up my server in January, I’ve been using ProtonVPN and consistently had an IP leak or something, and my isp has pretty consistently sent me nasty-grams each time I p2p file share. I’ve taken to only doing it at hotels. Kind of frustrating to constrain myself, but I don’t have time to research more and don’t want to lose my sweet $50/1000mbps and have to switch to my old isp. I don’t know that the issue is ProtonVPN, but I don’t know how to investigate it much.

Don’t change anything about your proton plan. I didn’t realize that if I subscribed for their vpn, that I’d lose my $1 special. They wouldn’t revert the change, even the same day it was made.

Sorry, I’m new here and to Linux. I’ve read a little about git versioning, but I don’t get the joke. Can someone provide some insight?

I like what u/mosiacmango said.

Also, as someone new to self hosting, Linux, containers, networking and assembling computers, Unraid has made the steep learning curve easier to climb.

From my perspective, staring at Unraid’s Black Friday pricing, it was a no brainer when the alternatives seem to be truenas and maybe Synology. Truenas would’ve had a steeper learning curve, and Synology provides a cookie cutter experience and learning little.

I canceled Prime a year ago, just before their announced price increase, and it’s been great. I sign up for free, month-long trials of Prime on their website a few times a year, and I just accept slower, free shipping the rest of the time.
