  • The only thing that hold me back full-time linux daily driving due to workplace uses M$ suites (Office, Teams, Outlook and so on) and CAD program (Freecad pita for me, haven’t tried Ondsel addon).

    I don’t think they would just abandon the support overnight (unless they’re being greedy af and want to drive the failed “Windows 11” adoption very fast). The fact that they only make “sudo” utility only for Windows 11 is disguting (though you can do it yourself on windows 10 too), pretty sure they will keep giving security patches just like XP and 7 being legacy system.



  • Woah, seeing Nova launcher name with enshittification makes me trip down memory lane.

    I remember using one of these launcher apps on my Jelly Bean 2013 lenovo phone, Nova Launcher app being one of them that felt good to me, though as time passes and more I delve into rooting and custom roms, I just stick to whatever launcher is included in the rom or just use stock launcher. Maybe I’m becoming old timer that need “it just functions, simple, and no bs” guy. Been using stock launcher on android since 2016.



  • Funnily during my college, one of our lecturer is “cool” by adding some funny memes on certain hard part of lecture. Can say it helps for some people to remember as learning can be fun too and to keep everyone relaxed.

    But yes if you’re trying to meme so hard with 10 years old of meme, and then the audience does not understand them, it does feels awkward for some people, like who does rage comic panel in 2023?







  • I’ll explain it in layman’s terms…

    • There is always a price (inconvenience) for secure-ness in online world.
    • There’s 2 option to host a forum,
      1. You can use service like forum hoster or rent a VPS (so you can setup your own server although not self-hosting).
      2. Self-host yourself (this one a bit tricky if you aren’t prepared).
    • Learn some good basic OpSec habit (eg. Never use same password, Never put your personal detail in your active directory especially on your site source document, use 2FA and so on).
    • Learn to spot a phising or malicious link and never to randomly click random link in an email (in times when someone tried to social engineering you).
    • Use reputable service provider if you are not going to self-host yourself.
    • If you happen to self-host, make sure to check your open ports and secure them. Bots always probing any site in the world!
    • For some reason if you’re going to run sketchy stuff, never use your real credential. This point may not apply on your region as it depends on your local law.

  • Maybe in my message seems to focus solely on discord for putting the blame… The problem nowadays is that mostly these “devs” share/upload/host their releases in Discord which means you do use Discord’s CDN to host their files. Another common complaint of these practices is that you need to join their server in order to just download relevant files which makes it infuriating if you stumbles across these practices often. For example I joined 8 different discord servers just to download a software/binary/release, why can’t just put the release on something like Mediafire, Google Drive, Megaupload or perhaps sourceforge.

    I do understand Discord is communication platform but most of time some people are too lazy to manage stuff so what happen is that everything is hosted in single place as such Discord.




  • Such bizzare moment when someone acknowledged megaten series and its fanbase on this kind of forum.

    Fallout 1(!) and 2 is still enjoyable due to its turn based and variety of char build. Although may be frustating if you do not understand how the game played.

    Meanwhile on Saints Row series, the best are on 1 & 2 (back when they have more grounded story though they have whacky side content).
