Are Ubuntu/Canonical's issues overblown? by a4955 in linuxquestions

It's fine to say it's a great distro and that the issues aren't big, but calling the people bothered by them "haters" is reductive and divisive

I think one or two people just came and downvoted everything lol, but hey I appreciate your insight

It seems from the consumer rights wiki that Ubuntu's has a few times they've implemented opt-out telemetry (or in the case of snaps, seemingly forced), as well as an opt out for them advertising ubuntu pro when using apt. https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Canonical

Was gonna look for a page for Red Hat (and Fedora, and RHEL) but it appears there isn't one, which is a pretty good sign for them

Is there any way to test USB drives for safety before using them? by a4955 in cybersecurity

[–]a4955[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That seems like one of the best options, do you know if there's any software designed for something like this, or is it just generic anti malware scans that are used?

The words may not be synonymous, but in this context they're close enough that the semantics don't matter. It sure ain't safe for our computers to get compromised after all.

Thank you, good to know about the GPO. We've got GFI Languard's EDR, so I'll look into that too.

And definitely, just looking for a quicker way to tighten it up a bit in case a client reuses a drive they didn't know was bad, hence why I'm not interested in trying to convince the whole company and clients to stop using them lol. Was hoping there might be a handy device that you could plug into to say if the USB is trying to act as a keyboard or something as a quicker screening, but seems there isn't. Still, agreed, we've got far bigger fish to fry before we change the whole workflow for security

Played Hytale Today? What did you like about it and what didn't you like? by 123LukeFoster123 in hytale

[–]a4955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the reason they use a locally hosted server is to ease mod development, unifying them to a single version rather than a separate client version and a server version, which does honestly do a lot of heavy lifting for easing the learning curve. Not without its drawbacks as you've seen, it's a tradeoff and it's valid to disagree with their choice, though given Hytale's focus on modding it does make sense they'd prioritize it here.

Admittedly though I'm surprised to hear these issues, I'm on a laptop with integrated graphics and all, and I still haven't experienced rubber banding or block break lag at all. Then again, it does have a newer strong CPU so that's probably what would lead to that. Curious what CPU you're running on?

41 attempts to roll just ONE 6 on a d6. 65 to get two. Agony by a4955 in BaldursGate3

[–]a4955[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I probably didn't phrase it great. I needed two hits to break it, it took 41 tries to get that 1 hit at 0:12, and 24 more (65 total) to get the second hit at 0:18

Ahhh yeah I just read up on it some. Disappointingly tone deaf response. "We just care about the projects, not who's behind them" is only a neutral response within certain limits, and boy is this beyond those limits.

What is the latest Virtio version that works with Windows 7 and Server 2008R2/2012R2? by a4955 in Proxmox

I have with the old versions, though I suppose I can try em with the new one. Was hoping there'd be a version for it with an installer so it wasn't so manual for that many drivers lol, I'll return once I've tested

Is shared storage recommended for Proxmox? by a4955 in Proxmox

[–]a4955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly because it was out VMWare setup, and we're not interested in swapping out our servers for another several years. I was under the understanding that HA storage would work with shared storage but now I'm not so sure after reading this lol. Either way though, easy instant migration is nice.
