When I installed it it suggested turning that service off onvthe host. If you search online there are many suggestions on shutting off that stuff so 53 is left for pihole

https://github.com/jkbenaim/hs100 also works on some models not listed

Im surprise they installed them in the first place. First thing I did when somebody gave me TPlink Kasa smart plugs and switches was run the github code to swap the remote server lookup to 127.0.0.1

Don’t know the issue you faced, but if it can help DBT is another approach for issues. I took a “course” in it to help support my child going through it.

Binary blobs i thought

Sure, but RustDesk is not entirely opensource, there are key binary parts.

The stuttering YT showed up for me recently, it was fine months back. Something change in Firefox or a linux package, but I have been too lazy to investigate since I rarely watch youtube

Gimp works really well, just that it is destructive editting.

As for the software not having features or not being useful, part of that comes down to: if a company offers a linux version make sure you use it. For a proprietary MCAD and PLM system from Siemens, we had a unix version, then windows, then when Linux was viable with support on SUSE and RHEL we had the exact software OEM aerospace and Automotive engineers used for design and management. Trouble is not enough companies used it to make supporting it a worthwhile effort, so they ditched the GUI desktop support. You can still run the few years old version. Maybe it will come back with Linux rising from 1-2% to 4.5% ; if that trend continues

SUSE / OpenSUSE has this. You can open Yast2 GUI utilities and access all the GUI utils like Windows old Command Center. Hardware, package and driver installs, add hardware and configure, network, enable services and tweak parameter, printer tools, mess with boot options or kernel parameters, etc. The average user would never need to touch CLI

Man carves out half a pumpkin with eyeholes and puts it on his head to amuse the tribe after dinner. Archaelogist 65000 years later: here we see a fossilzed gourd used by the males as a helmet in battle.

Kidding aside , our view has been tainted by the current patriarcal times. Century ago and women could not vote, own property, some still need husbands permission for things in certain countries. Many assume it was always like that but 450 BC, Celtic Woman owned half their property with husband, on his death she got her half and his could be willed to her or anyone else. The Romans invading Wales were dumbfounded to be fighting women in battle. The narrative that only men owned things or did the “hard” stuff is bullshit

I have the opposite. Old Logitech bluetooth mouse on W10, Windows will pair with it but next boot it totally will not reconnect, no matter what, unless I delete paired device and re-add it. It was fine on W7. Linux has no issue reconnecting to it.

What kind of diagram are you going to make?

Yeah I didn’t find Linux install any harder than installing windows from scratch.

Edit: the only thing was multiple choices for home filesystem, which made me do some research on why I would want ext3 or 4 of xfs, or btrfs.

It is Linux, but the machines are low apec and depend on cloud based google stuff for storage etc. Not quite the same as Desktop or powerful laptop

If it came preinstalled it would overtake Windows

I like snake, but in some interfaces the underscores blend into the text line or are not rendered properly, so it becomes eaaier to discern if the filename has spaces or separators by using kebab.

I have Windows EFI and Linux EFI partitions on same srive. Secureboot is set to load Linux EFI Grub, a chainloader entry in Grub will handoff to Windows boot loader if I choose that. it has stayed intact for 7 years this way without windows knowing or touching the other EFI partition. But separate drives is probably even better

Right, but i was commenting about educating your kids about the pitfalls of social media, like you said. My adult children are teachers and they see social media is destroying kids even with education about it…their brains can’t stop even if they know the consequences, especially because it is psychologically tailored to engage them more and more

Good on Yemen, doing what the USA is scared to even talk about

I know some amazing parents that have super open communication and excellent teaching moments with their kids, they still fell into the social media morass…because friends (and teenage brain) are a heavy influence even with a safe supportive home
