Yeah, what is middle-class really now? Even if in a couple you own 100k, it's not much nowadays especially in Vancouver/Toronto , with houses at 1M...

100k is the new 50k of before. In Québec, teachers or nurses own 100k+, policemen/firefighters too, half of municipal employees are at 100k+, provincial/federal employees 100k+, etc

Xfce is the default one in MX Linux, which is #1 entry on distrowatch for years, I don't know how many install there is of MX, but I'm using it for years, I like Xfce, it's simple, it works

In Quebec all the TV/Internet kiosks that you pay $$$ while in bed, are using Linux, you can see it when it boots

And violence, drugs, firearms, car thieves, garbage, etc. Poor Canada :-(

"first-time homebuyers" ?!? Z/Alpha will never be able to buy something, when you earn 2000$/month and rent is 2000$/month, you cannot even live.

Superb, really!

Absolutely, I started computers in 1981, for me 1K is 1024 bytes and will always be. 1000 bytes is a scam

Single entry too

Frank Sinatra - My Way

I second nala, it's pretty enough, text mode of course.

with iptables you could block the port used by this app, but maybe it would not fix your problem

I use dd-wrt a little bit, then tomato and variant (usb, toastman, fresh) then Merlin for maybe 5 years now.

Broadcom routers are mostly not openwrt compatible

TotalCommander.

I was using Norton Commander in DOS in the 90s, then WindowsCommander in Windows 3, which was renamed TotalCommander. Using this for maybe 35 years. I don't know how to use Windows gui to copy/paste or explore multiple folders etc.

You're kidding right? IKEA is recognized to make top notch USB chargers, someone on the net buy all kind of USB chargers, disassemble them, reverse their schematic, and test them. And the IKEA ones are super safe especially because they respect all american, european, and basically every countries laws/certifications.

Everything is good except ram, 4GB is unfortunately not enough on 2024 because apps are bloated

Yep, I'm an immigrant, I have nothing against them of course, but Canada cannot sustain 500k-1m new immigrants per year, it's insane

Instead of buying 4L (they are in 3 bags) of milk for $7, you will need to buy 2x 2L tetrapak at $5 each.

It's just for money that they are ending bags.

I'm using it locally to access various PC so no problem

Yep, I lived it, maybe 20 years ago, in some unattended turbulence, the plane dropped a few feet suddenly, it happens so quickly that a lot of people just "stayed there into the air" while the luggage overhead cabinets crashed on their head, it was a WTF moment, I had my belt so was ok, but a couple of people got roughed.

I'm using xrdp for years on MX (Debian) and never had to modify something after install, just

sudo apt install xorgxrdp

sudo apt install xrdp

and that's it

I absolutely hate it for medias like music or movies. Back in the time, you had your CD and DVD/BD in physical format. Now there's music you about cannot buy to own. Same for old movies, you cannot find them physically, only rent them on youtube for instance.
