It may seem like a small percentage loss when talking dollar for dollar subscription loss vs Disneys massive revenue, but the scarier thing for their board of directors is damage to their brand.

The thought that a situation like this could cause any long a lasting or irreparable harm to the iconic mouse ears in any way would make keep them awake at night.

Yeah, nope.

I’ve been noticing weird stuff with Microsoft online products since they have been leaning into ai.

I don’t really know how to describe it. My old windows pc had a virus back in the early 2000s that slowly ate away at .dll and .exe files. It basically caused very random errors and noticeable weirdness for a few days until core system services eventually started dying. That’s what Microsoft online products feel like to use for me now. Random loops of confirmations and links that go nowhere. Even the payment system rarely seems to work.

His concern seems valid to me.

Maybe. I can see them being popular for things like this, humorous thoughts.

I can’t really imagine them flying off the shelves, but you never know.

Are these popular? I legit got an ad for them yesterday on fb, then a buddy sent me a screen cap of them getting the same ad.

Now this on here?

The awesome people in the world. The loud, mean ones are easier to spot and spew their crap confidently, but the less obnoxious, actually nice people are everywhere.

Don’t let the media and Internet fool you.

PS: And if you can help a decent human in need, please do.

I would argue that Linux is inherently much more secure than windoze, simply because of how it handles user space vs. System (root access vs. User access). Also by how transparent its configuration is and how much information is readily accessible detailing how it works and how to adjust things.

However, when talking security for anything above the average user’s browsing needs, it can get very complicated depending on what you are trying to achieve.

Think of it like building something to keep out honest people vs. to keep out hardened, knowledgeable, clever thieves. Obviously the latter is going to take more time and resources to achieve, while the need to keep out more sophisticated bad actors would probably only be needed if you have something they might want.

Here are some suggestions for searching if actual security is your goal. Others can chime in with more things if they want. This is just some topics/programs you can read about to dip your toes in.

• nftables/Firewalld (common firewalls)
• wireguard/openvpn (vpn protocols)
• rootless containers (podman)

Best of luck!

Sowing the seeds of doubt in the minds of Canadians so we don’t freak out as much when the next conservative federal government axes CBC in the first 60 days of office.

Can’t have a flawed news system that actually tells the truth! How does that help the billionaires?

I’m glad you have the opportunity to hit the reset button like that. It sounds like you have a positive look ahead for the change, which is half the battle in my opinion.

It might take some time to feel like you fit in better with your new group, but the extra effort is worth it ten fold if you do find your close friend group there.

Most of the best friendships I ever had started off a bit Rocky. And usually were not at all what I expected. Come to think of it, things are rarely what I expect.

Best of luck!

Misery loves company

So glad I migrated from bitnami late last year. I can’t even remember exactly why, other than just dumb luck maybe?

Also, most of their offerings were more geared for larger setups if I remember correctly.

Linuxserver.io has a lot of what I use now. The rest are self updating game servers, so I think I’m good.

Big shocker that a corporately backed open source provider suddenly wants to capitalize!!! J/k obvs….

My wife and I (mostly her) started some simpler growing this summer. We are both new at it.

Just basically a single raised garden with potatoes and carrots, a small compost bin and a little garden greenhouse.

I don’t think either of us were really expecting it to feel so rewarding to harvest food that we grew. It’s the most excited I have seen her about something since the kids were born. We are hoping to upscale a bit more next year with what we have learned so far.

Food forest concept isn’t something I have heard of, but I’ll definitely dig into it, so thanks for that!

I never really got the excitement as a kid. Why were adults so happy for another mouth to feed? Diapers to change?

Then I became an uncle and it made a lot more sense. Kids are hilarious. Early congrats for March!

Hard to say when for either. I can see fallout getting a serious rush put on it to try and catch the popularity wave of the show.

Hopefully that doesn’t encourage too much refurbished content from the older games though.

Your life reads like it is the good kind of busy. Not the corporate phone ringing all the time kind, but the wholesome living it up kind. Love it!

That’s quite a find!

Depression is no joke. A psychiatrist once told me that everyone has bad days, but if you have more than 1 a week on average, you should see somebody.

I’m glad your friends are coming. It sounds like an awesome time.

These things are favourites of mine as well, though I find my family life conflicts a lot with my projects. Not in a bad way, just that there is only so much time in a day.

I really look forward to the selfh.st newsletter each week.

Way to go! I tried writing my own music a few times and lost it half way through. It is much harder to do than I originally thought.

I read a few stories of artists way back in the day that made legendary songs in like a day or less and somehow thought that meant I could too.

Getting to an actual album is quite an accomplishment to achieve and I hope it does as well as you hope it does!

It will be released in tandem with the next tes game and half-life 3!
