It’s so sad when we all find these critical components are maintained by someone we’d just pass in the street… and then they’re gone.

Lovely to see the contributions on ko-fi

But, surely Windows is the wrong OS?

Windows is a per-user GUI… supercomputing is all about crunching numbers, isn’t it?

I can understand M$ trying to get into this market and I know Windows server can be used to run stuff, but again, you don’t need a GUI on each node a supercomputer they’d be better off with DOS…?

Wha?

(searches interwebs)

Wow, that completely passed me by…

I’m curious if anyone’s paying to support development (of either application)?

I’m just about getting all my photos into my NAS, so will be looking at these myself soon

Ah, ok, got a little confused… GeoClue TZ is an improvement on GeoClue

I didn’t even know this was a thing, I just dealt with this manually - now feeling a little silly.

I can confirm that moving the disks to a very similar device will work.

We recovered “enough” data from what disks remained of a Dell server that was dropped (PSU side down) from a crane. The server was destroyed, most of the disks had moved further inside the disk caddy which protected them a little more.

It was fun to struggle with that one for ~1 week

And the noise from the drives…

Wha?! I didn’t know this was happening… Damn, that was my solution to multiple applications

A single, decent, maintained one for LVM.

Redhat had a couple of goes at this and they suck ass big time and rely on KDE (so no good for any other DE / WM). I’m not sure anything really works, so I’ll say: none exist.

Just a +1 for Open Camera - it’s a great bit of software.

Not sure if it’s the devs to blame when there’s statements like:

Kurtz therefore has the possibly unique and almost-certainly-unwanted distinction of having presided over two major global outage events caused by bad software updates.

So, I’m guessing it’s the business that’s not supporting good dev->test->release practices.

But, I agree with your point; their overall software quality is terrible.

I think they should consider the word “wages” instead.

Let’s be honest, this is compensation for skilled labour.

I would add that a lot of attacks are done after a fix has been released - ie compare the previous release with the patch and bingo - there’s the vulnerability.

But agree, patching should happen regularly, just with a few days delay after the supplier release it.

No it’s Crowdstrike… we’re just seeing an issue with their Windows software, not their Linux software.

Uncheck the box labeled Allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement.

And, we’re back to normal?

I tried using Enlightenment years ago - it looked amazing, and then… I found all the bugs, incompatibilities, etc… and it’s lackof progress was disappointing.

I tried Bodhi Linux and even they gave up, creating their own Moksha desktop environment too…

Whatever you do. Full backup first 👍🏻😉

Personally, I’d go with the clean Fedora install on the new drive and copy your data over as someone else mentioned, then expand Windows once you 100% happy with it.

(I did something similar with WinXP years ago… eventually dropping Windows, so that harddrive just became a data drive)

Follow the videos, the original developer shows what it can do, but it’s basically running keylogger software.

This is the way.

There’s nothing worse than finding your DNS/DHCP has gone down and it’s a VM / container running inside a server that can’t start because it doesn’t have an IP address and you can’t resolve names to get the thing started.

Break things down into chunks that make sense - to you.

I have dedicated (low power) hardware for the interweb firewall / DHCP / core network stuff.

I have a NAS for storage with all the backups / reinstall images on (so I can rebuild the firewall if there’s no internet, for example)

Then I have everything else in a single server.

Sources: a house fire, water leak & many hardware failures & borked upgrades over many decades.

It’s come quite a way… O.MG Cable

Just a cable… complete with wifi man-in-the-middle abilities

I agree with this point: age isn’t the measure of usefulness, popularity is

Something might be 10yrs old and uaed by many people… and also something 10 months old is no longer used.

Also, just a thought, if it’s “old” it’s probably a standard too, so probably doesn’t actually need much (relative term) effort to maintain…
