I moved my personal email domain to fastmail. I’ve been very happy with it. I am using the Standard plan at $50 per year.
It’s nice being the customer instead of the product.
They can also host static web sites for no additional cost on this plan. So I canceled my web hosting plan too.
I use the terminal so much that I frequently accidentally use Ctrl-Shift-C and V outside of the terminal.
Ctrl-Shift-V usually works pretty well as it does a paste without formatting in a lot of places.
Accidentally hitting Ctrl-Shift-C though in a MS Team’s chat though, starts a voice call with all chat participants. 😑 hate it
Bad parents are a thing. Children screaming loudly in an indoor environment should be corrected.
I don’t think your opinion is unpopular. There are lots of people who will agree with you that libraries should be absolutely silent.
But I don’t agree. There should be space for kids to learn to love books. They might noiser that you would like, but kids who love books are a benefit to our world.
Libraries are a community meeting place, one of the last good third spaces left. If you want perfect silence go home.
Libraries are not your unpaid office space.
Every distro.
Samba file shares should use regular user credentials and not have separate samba usernames and passwords.
Every distro with gnome.
Make RDP work as well as it does on Windows.
I’m talking about remoting into the Linux system.
Everytime the system is restarted you have to physically login to the system to unlock the keyring so that your RDP password is accessible or you won’t be able to get in. Or you have to remove your keyring password all together. Why is this different than the regular user password?
Also it’s weird that it works like VNC where you are controlling the system remotely but anyone local can see what you are doing on the screen. It is also cool to have that option but it shouldn’t be the default.
Working in the office vs working from home.
Poor slinky.
I don’t think you are being fair. There are a ton of issues that people experience with Windows but everyone just accepts it because Windows is seen as “Normal”.
Any issue you experience in Linux is magnified by it being a different issue than the ones you are used to in Windows and your unfamiliarity with Linux.
One of the cool things about Linux is you actually have a hope of being able to fix issues yourself without waiting for a company to solve your problems.
I don’t try to run Windows applications on Linux, but I imagine that could be frustrating. But that is a bit like being angry at your dog for not being a cat. You can buy your dog a cat costume but it’s still just a good boy trying his best to do what you want.
I’m a Linux admin at work and I use Linux for my main system.
I do need to administer some Windows only things too. I got them to give me an older desktop system running windows that I leave running in my cube.
Anytime I need to do Windows stuff I remote into that machine.
I prefer mine a bit sweet. I usually buy YellowBird Blue Agave Sriracha
That looks really awesome.
I just bought one of these..
It sounds like you got it working-ish.
One thing you might be running into is having hiberboot (AKA fast startup)enabled in windows. Instead of shutting down it hibernates when you choose “shutdown”.
If it is in the hibernated state instead of actually shutdown. You won’t be able to choose a different boot option.
Here is some info on how to turn it off. https://www.elevenforum.com/t/turn-on-or-off-fast-startup-in-windows-11.1212/
I have some strange power issues with my laptop that may have a similar cause.
I put an additional drive in my work laptop so I could debian for work without nuking the system drive.
Shutting down usually always works properly but rebooting gets stuck sometimes. It’s like it gets to the bottom of the reboot cycle and loses the ability to say “okay boot back up now”. On my laptop, it’s obvious that it is still on because of the light on the power button. I hold it down for about 12 seconds until it goes off and then I can power it back on.
I wonder if your surface is doing a similar thing where it is still powered on but not booted. You might try hiding the power button down for about 15 seconds and then hitting it again when it’s in this state.
yes But not in any way that makes it useful. It starts when the user logs into the computer locally. If I was going to do that I wouldn’t need a remote session.
You can set the account to login automatically, but this doesn’t unlock the keychain which is needed to decrypt the user’s RDP password. So you can do it but you need to set your account to login automatically and set your keychain password to be blank.
I wonder what your coworkers discover about you…😜
I use the one built into Gnome but I have run into even more issues trying to install and use other ones.
I was a poor kid living in Hawaii in the mid 90’s.
Wendy’s in Hawaii had a salad bar. If you ordered the “dine in” salad bar, they gave you a fairly small plate and you were allowed one trip.
If you ordered it to go, you still had the one trip restriction, but they would give you a big plastic clamshell to go container. They assumed you would put food in the bottom of the container and close it up and leave.
Not me. I would order to go, but fill both halves of the container and eat it all at one of the tables. Usually one of the halves was mostly Chocolate pudding and cheezy crackers.
