If you're behind a conventional router they still do NAT afaik.

Per default your IPv6 address should be an internal one if it's enabled.

Yeah, we managed to recreate that in a lab. Those old OS's are super vulnerable.

EOL means no more security updates, which means attack vectors don't get patched.

If you keep using a Windows installation (or any OS for that matter) that isn't patched regularly you are very likely to be victim to some malicious actor eventually. It's not manual hacking anymore, it's bots scraping the whole internet exploiting known vulnerabilities completely automated.

The risk is much lower if you're in a home network with NAT, where your PCs IP is not publicly reachable, but if you communicate with any webservices you're still vulnerable.

As example. If you nowadays put a Windows XP machine live on the internet with a public IP, it will be compromised within minutes.

So yeah. Good call switching to Mint, but please don't use unpatched Windows.

Josh's articles seem to be bangers most of the time.

Unlike the people he's writing about, which probably never banged.

Isn't the Wikipedia article usually already the summary of the topic?

If there's an article with more than 20 references to papers it's usually already abridged enough.

Just auto-generate videos with AI images and voiceover and add subway surfers gameplay on the side for those who think this slop is needed.

Does this mean she'll get pegged now?

Offensichtlich NdA!

Das geht ja noch viel tiefer als nur das falsch abstellen.

Der Typ regt sich ja auf, dass es Strafen gibt, wenn man Eigentum der Firma (Fahrtenbuch) irgendwo verliert, wenn man drinnen raucht und wenn man den Wagen beschädigt.

Also so ignorant und eingebildet muss man mal sein, dass man so einen Vertrag eingeht, gegen Bedingungen verstößt und dann die Vermieter als die Arschlöcher sieht.

I use Hugo for static site generation and it makes the RSS stuff for me.

 

I hope this doesn't come across as bragging, but I'm really looking forward to my expanded roster of warframes 😄

Admittedly I didn't farm them myself, I just bought the blueprints from the market. Saryn I randomly got this week from the circuit as only warframe I didn't have yet. But my Helminth will finally get something to munch on at least.

 

Totally not based on a true story.

 

Insert <it's not much but it's honest work> meme. It only supports ints and bools, some logic and simple arithmetics and it compiles to Java but damn was it hard to get that far.

Can you guess what everything does?

 

As the title says, you probably guessed it already. For work I mainly develop on the .NET platform using a Windows device, but at home I enjoy all the benefits of a good OS.

Now I kinda want to get my C# skills "sharper" and have some projects in mind utilising it, but I'm a bit miffed about the development tools and possibilities of deployment available for me on Linux.

Also I may want to coerce my boss to let me work on a device with my OS of choice.

Any advice from devs that are in a similar spot? What do you use for .NET development on Linux? And are there any cool multiplatform deployment possibilities (next to Xamarin/Maui) that actually let me build natively on Linux?

... and I absolutely love it.

After my previous post where I asked for advice on distros I have tried Mint and EndeavourOS first as VM's and afterwards I gave them their own partition and tried it on my real hardware.

Something about EndeavourOS just sat right though and I promptly replaced my windows install with it. KDE Plasma also blows me away with the amount of customisation that is possible.

I've spent some time configuring today but mostly aesthetic stuff as my hardware worked 95% out of the box. Some odd dependencies were missing for steam to work properly but I'm really not missing anything that windows had right now.

I'm curious how my uni workflow will look like now, but I'm sure I can make it work.

Thanks a lot for the support and advice you've given me. I really love the community on here.

I'll get back to customising my bash prompt now. 😄

Edit: Due to popular demand:

I use Arch, btw.

Hey guys, I'm an entry-level IT professional and tech enthusiast.

I'm getting a bit sick of windows for a multitude of reasons and want to try out some Linux distros.

I use my pc for web browsing, university (which uses office 365) where I study software design, software development (vs code, visual studio, jetbrains stuff) and gaming (99% of the time via steam).

My main concerns for switching are that I'll have a hard time with university work because we mostly use teams for video conferences and work together with word, and other office stuff. We also are required to do some virtual machine stuff where we use virtualbox.

Also I'm a bit worried that some games on uplay, epic and other platforms aren't available anymore.

For distros I've been mainly looking at Manjaro, Linux Mint or plain old Ubuntu. Can you recommend anything that might fit for me or will I maybe run into any issues with my chosen three?

Edit: Thanks a lot for all the replies. I've read through all of them even if I didn't reply and it was very helpful. I will test most of your suggestions in a VM before I jump into completely changing my OS. And I'll probably try booting from a USB Drive first. What I didn't mention is that I've already worked with Ubuntu, Debian and CentOS, so I'm not scared about having to use a CLI.
