The line between configuration is very messy anyways. So many projects abuse YAML as a domain specific language. Looking at you, HomeAssistant and ESPHome!

That all sounds great, but it's hard to mine the stuff we do no not have. We can either extract from less rich souces at a price at least one order of magnitude more expensive and subsidize that, or buy it cheap from elsewhere. There's an argument to be made for keeping a small local production going to prevent the worst case, but it'll be expensive nonetheless and won't significantly reduce the reliance on ressource-rich countries.

That's the biggest pain point with Signal and WhatsApp in my opinion. Telegram does it, but then of course it's much easier for them to support. Sharing content from my tablet is such a hassle.

I'm fine with three! Tent, Flashlight and Camera. That way I'll have the easiest way out by being the sidecharacter who gets murdered during the exposition before it all goes to shit.

Unlikely, but who knows? Can you try and boot Windows (install iso probably enough)? Or some very old Linux distro? It might just be your monitor becoming weird with age.

Edit: Alsobtry with a laptop or something and see how it goes.

Eh, those attempts are just noise anyway. Use proper pubkey auth instead of normal passwords and you'll be fine. Any key size is probably enough to prevent successful bruteforce attacks. Anything above 2048 and there's basically no chance for them to guess right within several years of constant trying. Most bots move along quickly as well, they try their predefined list of (common usernames) x (common passwords) and that's it.

Install endlessh, an ssh tar pit, if you want to make their lives a little more annoying. Use a non-standard port if your OCD can't stand the slowly filling auth attempt logs.

Don't forget about OpenCL.

Exactly! I totally care about you, but let's keep this power dynamic onesided. You know, just in case.

I get your point, but it's more of a bigger picture for me.

Remember that WAN segment about quiet quitting? The vibe was off on that one. Especially keeping the previous remark about unions in mind. Why would he think that he can be owner and main manager of such a big company with gigantic daily content output AND keep his workers best interests in mind at all times? If he is not anti-union he is at the very least wrong on why they are necessary. In the worst case he actually realizes that he could do much better for his workforce.

That really was a nice and good thing to do. Good lesson.

Simple Gallery and Simple Filebrowser are awesome! Also KDE Connect, Davx, Catima and Etar, my favourite calendar app!

Yeah go on, ignore the massive flood in the background.
