ClamAV is as good as ever. I still keep it around and updated for checking the random suspicious file. You can use the ClamTK or other graphical interfaces as well if that's more your style.

Ptyxis is my current go-to. It can detect available pods or toolboxes (maybe docker too haven't tested it) and you can open terminals directly into them. It also highlights ssh terms and root shells differently.

There are a huge number of built-in color schemes as well and I've had no trouble finding any configuration option I've found myself wanting to look for.

It's also available on flathub so it's easily installed in most distros.

I just treat them like regular pickles and refrigerate after opening.

Whoa I had no idea about this. Just put an m2 nvme in my refurbished 2017 HP elitedesk and didn't even know to check for sata vs nvme. I thought they were all nvme.

I'm going to say yes as I sit here wearing a fedora tank top.

You can import CSV files directly into an SQLite database. Then you are free to do whatever sql searches or manipulations you want. Python and golang both have great SQLite libraries from personal experience, but I'd be surprised if there is any language that doesn't have a decent one.

If you are running Linux most distros have an SQLite gui browser in the repos that is pretty powerful.

That's not bad at all gonna have to check it out. I host my site on digital ocean it's on the smallest single core 1gb ram droplet. I run crowdsec and nginx and a couple other little things and it sits around 40% ram usage. Costs 6$ a month and I added 4 weeks worth of automatic weekly backups for $1.50 a month.

I can deal with $7.50 for a little static web server.

They do offer a free $200/60 day credit if you get in with one of the free Linux Foundation cloud classes which is plenty to play with.

My main OS (debian) ssd started throwing Io errors this Friday night and I had to work Saturday, only image I had laying around was Fedora Kinoite. So that's what I'm running until I order a new drive. I'm getting my wife a new laptop soon and was considered silverblue (she's a Mac user but very quick with tech in general).

Anyway after using it a few days, I think when I get my new drive I might just go ahead and put Kinoite on it. I'm used to running my dev stuff in containers anyway and toolbox makes it super easy. Rpm-ostree is a breeze (though it takes a minute to build on this ancient USB hdd, I'm replacing my dieing SSD with an nvme so I don't foresee the ostree builds as being an issue).

I think immutable is absolutely the way forward, especially for less computer literate folks. It will keep them more protected and if they do mess up something the rollback is a breeze.

I'm not sure where this software comes from, but you should try to get a merge to fix this to default. I'd give it a thumbs up after some testing for sure.

I remember when Ubuntu came out I was working in a PC repair shop. Not gonna give any opinion on this but the standard procedure for people wanting a fresh XP but didn't have a license key was "well it's $90 for a fresh install, or we can put a pirate pro corporate on it". I e-mailed canonical and they sent me a whole stack of Ubuntu CDs in nice branded sleeves. I kept it by the register and started offering that as an alternative to piracy for people that didn't have a license key and didn't wanna fork over the cash for one, Not many people chose that option, but I had a lot of good talks with people and plenty of people took a CD to try the live Ubuntu. I hope some of them ended up making the switch. I'm kinda disgruntled with conical these days but I'm an old greybeard who grew up in Slackware. I still recommend Ubuntu to beginners along with fedora.

I would second any Thinkpad that has USB C charging. That's what I'm looking to get next. Renewed ones are <$300

I used c++ in college, and I think it's useful to know c because so much relies on it. That said if I'm going to do something that needs performance I'll look to go first, then rust if go isn't a good fit, but that's mostly because I know go better. Both are excellent languages.

If I just need something functional quick and easily I'll turn to Python. If I need a net service quick node.js is great.
