Business continuity plan testing day.

I usually think TurboTax is tracking me and selling my data to Google and others.

Sandpaper remote, coming right up!

Or then you type the next letter of the word and the result you want goes away, but only after you’re milliseconds from tapping it.

Yeah, this is pretty textbook selection bias.

I’m not saying it doesn’t suck for this person, but product market fit is a thing for open source too. If people need it they’ll use it and contribute until something better comes along. If not, your idea wasn’t the one. That doesn’t mean it’s not possible. Nearly my whole life runs on open source software, so it’s pretty clearly sustainable.

over the years, using “open source” has become an excuse to avoid paying for software

Um. Yes. And to be blunt: obviously. And in return, I give away software I create for free whether people need it or not, and try to give back in the form of contributions too. But I’ve never once given up my day job for it. Would that be nice? Maybe. But open source software is more frequently sustained by passionate people using and expanding it for their own projects and not by expecting people to pay you for your efforts when you’re likely not paying (nodejs, github, ahem) for the software you’re building it on anyway.

And so many other things. I’ve also used it for “cloud saves” back/forth from my desktop to my steam deck on games that don’t support them for various reasons. Dyson Sphere Program being one, because the files can get quite large.

I do all my Linux kernel development, and especially compilation, on my steam deck.

Can’t wait for this company to be public and to be subject to the whims of shareholders chasing profit.

Maybe OP recycles the cups into filament.

If you’re up for pgp and git, gnu password store is a killer app. There are a few guis, including Android and iOS, and if you use gopass there’s a nice plugin for browsers as well. And it’s ultimately just two tools that are both solid and generally well known.

I think it means you probably use software they contribute to even if you don’t pay them.

My 3090 is a light flickering machine. Kind of annoying tbh.

I mean, that’s exactly the same set of problems faced by closed source software. I guess one potential difference is that you can hire new devs to take over if it’s successful enough. But both crappy documentation and team burnout have killed lots and lots of internal projects at places I’ve worked.

I’m assuming OP wants to run on Linux and I’m not familiar enough with .NET Core to know how much or how easily you can run it on Linux. I know some things definitely run, I just don’t know how much.

For camera software, zoneminder is a classic, and frigate is probably the new kid in town. Web hosting will depend on your web developers but docker will have you covered for almost anything. Probably just steer clear of asp.net dev shops.

I’d love it if there was a way to make sweat not turn my touchscreen into a game of roulette.

Not to mention you really can’t hide that other drive from windows, and I’m sure a lot of the security tools would start screaming about new storage added when not expected. Data Loss Prevention is a big deal and random storage showing up doesn’t often mean the user has good things planned.

Yeah, this is an important point tbh. Vlans alone don’t add any security if your firewall doesn’t do something to prevent it, as your router will happily forward packets to the next vlan. It should be on a DMZ vlan, meaning traffic is allowed in at the firewall but not to any other internal vlans.
