Do you have a spare set up where you can boot up from that same SSD? Literally any laptop would work plug and play and that would rule out the possibility of it being the motherboard on the OP.

I don’t get it, is python dying?

I feel that way with Stock iOS, how ironic…

And also Xiaomi phones. Indeed ironic

I mean OpenWRT runs and actively releases new software for those late 90s hardware.

Vanilla beans are 4908

Edit2: I learned about GSI roms and DSU Sideloading is a thing https://github.com/VegaBobo/DSU-Sideloader

Yeah unfortunately that Custom ROM scene is dying out, I see that plenty of older phones are still supported (e.g. Galaxy Note 3, Samsung S5, kind of all Xiaomis) but newer phones are just a handful of models which its bootloader can be unlocked, and then some of these have support for Magisk and TWRP but sadly no custom ROMs.

Edit: still the ability to root these and unbloat them is better than nothing.

But that’s two keys! End or Home is a single press.

Seconding this, Dell has excellent support for Linux on their enterprise laptops (Latitude and Precision). XPS are another breed, and tend to be marketed as a ultrabook or a MacBook competition.

I have noticed that healthy torrents stall when the ISP closes the port I was using in the end. Several torrent clients have the option to check if the port is open or closed, and also another option to randomize the port at startup.

QBittorrent and Transmission have an option to anonymize or have the data encrypted, and that seems to make a difference for me when downloading using my employers ISP.

I hate it, basically I have to force myself when I boot into windows to physically disconnect the RJ45 from the back, so it doesn’t replace the boot entries thru an update.

Not if they use GNU nano or that shitty windows notepad.

Wouldn’t be surprised if now the steps are code and instructions provided by ChatGPT.

That’s what I thought, I remember the XP days when I was a kid and I only remember having seen those as malicious scripts.

There is a website called roadmap.sh which has both Skill and Role based roadmaps to learn how to program. There is no actual “SysAdmin” role path since our job can technically have several routes by itself.

I personally use Debian at my org, and found Python and Bash enough to automate small things that need to be done in a regular basis.

But if for example, you were a Windows SysAdmin you’d have to learn to use PowerShell ~ or VBS (idk if those scripts are still a thing)~ .
