I am but a cog in a machine. A lazy one though.

  • I’m not forced to, but occasionally my job kinda requires it so I dualboot (most of my coworkers who are on linux run a windows virtual machine when they need it).

    But my previous job required windows due to all the industry specific software only working on windows. No chance of getting that to work on linux sadly. Then I just used windows at work. It’s always my employer’s hardware anyway and I like to keep work and free-time separate so it was ok.









  • I hope someone else can pitch in with a more indepth instructions, but two things I wanted to mention:

    First, forget about hosting your own email from home. Seriously. Even those who do it professionally don’t want to deal with that at home. You’ll find people on fediverse who do it but I’m sure plenty will give you this same recommendation/warning. It’s a huge hassle and it’s so easy to get your domain blocked/ending up on a blacklist and way harder to get out of it.

    Second, I can personally recommend https://linuxupskillchallenge.org/ if you are really starting from scratch ( there’s a community here: !linuxupskillchallenge@programming.dev ). This is how I started and set up my own linux server and started self hosting stuff on it. It’s really basic and won’t teach you everything you need but it’s a great start for setting up your own server. You can do everything with a local server at home that you have set up.


  • Can’t believe they are playing that game. You’d think in the commission, where many are long-time politicians and most of them studied political science I assume, would know a bit of history and how playing these games never leads to anything but the opponent wanting more and more.

    I sure hope they are not just thinking they can sit this one out and compromise until Trump retires/dies. Maybe the next one is even worse.










  • Correct me if I’m wrong but you can select multiple viewing languages. It’s just slightly unintuitive in lemmy-ui: hold either CTRL or SHIFT (I forgot, apologies) while you select languages in your profile settings.

    The default posting language/allowed languages are decided on community level by mods.

    Edit: didn’t want to just say unintuitive without offering an alternative, so: visible checkboxes would maybe be more intuitive?
