Fucking same.

I deleted my main account once they first came out with the reddit recap, and deleted my replacement when they fucked RIF, never to return.

I still lurk without an account sometimes, but that’s all they’ll ever get out of me.

I think the example you’re using is closer to emulation.

I’m not an expert by any means, most of my technology experience comes from hardware. But Proton isn’t changing the Linux ecosystem, and the programs are still expecting a windows environment when they’re run via Proton.

From what I recall, Linux and windows can both do the same stuff, they just have different names or different ways to ask for resources. And Proton receives the request for whatever and converts it to the Linux equivalent.

It’s not nearly as bad as it was in the past, now that the graphics APIs are system agnostic.

Most simply put, it’s a layer that allows a computer program expecting windows to run on Linux. It isn’t emulating anything, just sorta like translating.

Think of it like a language. Windows speaks English, so a program expects to talk in English. But let’s pretend like Linux talks Spanish. Proton translates the English commands to Spanish for Linux to understand and execute, and then Proton converts the responses back to English for the program.

Looks pretty neat.

Is there a way to have it run like a ram statistics monitor? I’d love to have this running in a terminal window to monitor my ram statistics.

I’m not going to defend Mozilla by any means, but if you care about privacy, you wouldn’t use a browser based on Chrome anyway.

You could replace “Brave Browser” with Firefox and the statement would still be true.

At least Firefox wasn’t caught hijacking affiliate links.

If you want to fully wipe the disks of any data to start with, you can use a tool like dd to zero the disks. First you need to figure out what your dive is enumerated as, then you wipe it like so:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX

From there, you need to decide if you’re going to use them individually or as a pool.

I’m not disagreeing with anything you’ve said?

I’m saying that just adding Mozilla’s PPA to your sources won’t change apt’s behavior when installing Firefox unless you tell apt to prefer the package offered by the Mozilla PPA.

As someone who uses Kubuntu as a daily driver, I’m well aware of the snap drama and have worked around it using the method I pasted above.

Even though it’s an underhanded move by Cannonical, I’m still glad the OS is open source since it makes the workaround so trivial.

It takes a little more than just adding a different repository to your package manager, you have to tell apt which to prefer:

echo ’
Package: *
Pin: origin packages.mozilla.org
Pin-Priority: 1000

Package: firefox*
Pin: release o=Ubuntu
Pin-Priority: -1’ | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla

Biden never had enough control of the whole government to get those things done without Republican buy-in.

A Republican controlled house won’t send a bill like that to the Senate. A Republican controlled Senate won’t send it to the President.

You can be upset at Biden, but we’ve rarely ever given a Democratic president a Democratic Congress to help him get anything done.

“I can’t handle people disagreeing with me, so I ban them from my personal echo-chamber”

There’s plenty of legitimate reasons to dislike Linux. Whatever you’ve got going on goes way past anything even vaguely resembling a legitimate complaint and straight to obsessive compulsive behavior.

This is what I think is most likely as well. The capacity on the drive makes me think it’s a SSD and they can just spontaneously fail.

This is why you always need backups. It’s never a question of if, but rather when a drive will fail.

And the White House sat on Trump’s insurrection for four fucking years.

The system as a whole failed us when it didn’t convict Trump on either impeachment.

You cannot convince me that Republicans wouldn’t have been rabidly screaming from rooftops that a Democratic President should be impeached if one did the same things Trump did while in office. And the sad thing is Democrats would have agreed and impeached him.

Republicans only care about holding on to power. Nothing else anymore.

And we as a nation just handed it to a candidate who wants to be ‘Dictator for a day’ as if any dictator has ever willingly relinquished power.

As someone in a non-traditional relationship, and who has two female children, I am fucking terrified.

An inbound only DNS forwarding rule would be pointless. All DNS queries should be originating from within the network.

EDIT

I think I see what you’re getting at. Assuming that the firewall is running on the NAS vs on the router.

The OP doesn’t specify, but I would assume the firewall rule would be on the router, as that makes the most sense to force all DNS requests on the network to go through the pihole.

I agree.

So the solution, OP, is to set the DNS settings on your NAS to your router’s internal IP so the firewall can redirect the traffic to your new port.

Windows is way more documented. Not necessarily by Microsoft but by the absolute waste community.

If I had a nickle for every BSOD error code I researched only to find “have you tried running sfc /scannow? What about a refresh? You tried both and nothing worked? Just reinstall!”

More documented my ass. Linux at least tells me what’s wrong. “No space left on device” or “missing dependency” is way better than “Error code 0x0000007e”
