yes, it’s just a python package. there are management services for enterprise users that have associated costs, though. it used to be called ansible tower but i’m unsure what the name is now.

only when dealing with azure for work. otherwise bash/python work just fine and have for me for the last 30 odd years.

a very old (and more public) approach was the piratebox: https://piratebox.cc/android

maybe there’s been some forks or related tools?

was waiting for this one

I know a lot of folks hate GNOME but I’m running it (with Bluefin and formerly Bazzite) on a gen 3 Yoga X1 and it’s been easier to use the touchscreen than other DEs.

I think it’s probably less about restricting what you send and more about either making you use their cloud services so the data can be mined or a lack of desire to provide support for issues with local transfer.

either way, I believe it’s intentional as well.

it was a joke. perhaps a /s was warranted. it could happen in any package manager/repo and I’d be surprised if it hasn’t yet.

i don’t use arch (btw).

big fan. used it on a pi zero w that I had hosting my PiHole for years. when the hardware finally died, I just installed dietpi on a VM in my proxmox server and used it for pihole again.

sure, I could’ve used another distro but it only seemed fitting for this use case.

question indirectly related to the post’s content:

what is the art style for the type of character in their hero image called? i’ve seen this a lot on techbiz websites that seem to try to appear friendly.

I use Markor Notes on my android device with syncthing to send it all to my PC. It’s a terrific markdown (and general text) editor that doesn’t have much of an opinion about how you organize your files.

alias fucking='sudo' (my coworkers often used prettyplease instead)

they’ve already got my data, buddy.

affiliate links, tracking cookies… this could have been a gist on github.

docker?! i hardly knew her!

i used netbird heavily at my last job and i use it for a few things at home. it works pretty well.

they’re not top of the charts but i enjoy gradius v, auto modellista, xiii, and dynasty warriors 4.

more popular games might be shadow of the colossus, tony hawk pro skater 3, metal gear solid 2, gta, etc. i’m not real into those except the first one but they got good ratings.

is that because asymmetry is the norm due to these ISPs’ practices or because people just don’t upload things often as a common behavior?

i recall a lot of my peers hosting mail and web servers among other things when broadband started to become more common, before they started blocking common ports as “security” and “antivirus” measures designed to extract more money from you.

nope.
