New to tech and becoming more terrified each day.
I've just discovered mps-youtube (mpsyt). It lets you search youtube songs, play them, and make and save playlists without adverts. If you play YouTube music all day, you need this in your life.
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

My diaspora account just shut down :( It's a shame the platform never really took off.
Am I missing something or isdoes PeerTube not allow you to follow content creators?
If you wanna hear my stupid voice, reminder I was on this podcast talking about Mastodon: https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2018/04/12/mastodon-federated-social-network-with-eugen-rochko/

Someone's attempting a brute force hack on my sever with ssh2. I'm tempted to forward port 22 to a VM and start playing a practical joke.
Just deleted sda4 and forgot it had the grub on it! Does anyone know if I can shift sda3 up to make sda2 (Windows) bigger, then reinstall a grub on sda3 and leave sda4 blank for now?
Want people to stop tracking you? Here's a prewritten GDPR opt-out letter which has a lists of the correct places to email various companies. https://opt-out.eu/
Character limits are biased against people who use two spaces after a full stop.
Well, signal-cli has been disappointing. Registering your computer de-registers your phone, and there's no way I can see to passively receive incoming messages.
The only problem with cli-mastodon is that I keep almost pressing 'ls' to see people's posts.
I finally got the CLI-mastodon going. This thing is surprisingly full-featured.
Someone set up companies to run a Gentoo server, and now we're migrating away to Windows servers. I can't help but feel that this will result in a wave of stories: "Great techies, but really Linux isn't usable for a business environment".
Massive respect for the enormity of the project, but at the same time, who in the world uses Gentoo for a business server? What's wrong with Debian? CentOS? What special kernel was required for each of those servers?
Linux for advanced hax0rs:
Installing Arch on VM. It's not challenging so far, but I feel like I'm walking down a long, slippery incline.
How much of your computer time is spent with activities that you would still need to do without a computer?
Conversely, how much is spent doing things on the computer in order to do other things on computers?
I'm at Radio Beograd. Their backup system is on tape. The modern one runs Windows XP. Luckily the XP's not networked, because the tape is more secure.
Then how would you spend her money on things? Presumably she hasn't allowed direct Paypal access to the account.
A client was attacked today and someone accessed her Exchange. I changed the password and did everything I could to drop the connection, but Exchange connections apparently cannot be stopped. She was crying by the end of the day. Microsoft is the absolute worst. You think you could expect our IT department to stop an attack while the guy's actively logged on, but no.
I've tracked the source IP but of course I'm mostly finding clues that it's a blacklisted IP - probably a VPN.
