I am interested and am listening. If you want to speak to this more, I would be very glad to hear it. Feel free to answer as much or as little as you care to of course.
Questions I have include:
How do you live day to day, spend the hours, get food, hygiene, etc?
What country are you in?
What problems have you faced and what solutions have you found?
Are there problems you face for which you do not know a good solution?
What is a digital nomad in your definition?
How much money did you have when you started this and how much do you have now?
What is the best thing about it, and the worst thing about it?
So the software you are trying to configure is using an outdated version of nodejs, has a poor default username/password combination, and doesn't implement PAM by default/easily.
Yes, I definitely want people to use Linux if they would like to, but perhaps not the node.js web application your complaints actually refer to which don't seem to have much at all if anything to do with Linux itself.
If your only real complaint on the OS side is that nodejs is too up to date, perhaps consider raising your concerns on the Mine-OS projects github instead of directing your anger at a tangentially related operating system. It's like getting mad at your cars engine when you are having trouble figuring out how to roll down the new windows you just had installed at a third-party body shop.
If you have relevant links which you have found specifically useful, or otherwise links in reference to the above, I would be interested in taking a look. Thanks.
Back when I was new to Linux, I tried a lot of different distros in virtualization for shorter periods of time, and of course ran into the issues that come with the cutting edge stuff.
Last year I wanted to install a distribution to my laptop properly as a test before putting it onto my desktop, and I came to that same conclusion because at the end of the day I couldn't justify using bleeding edge, because I couldn't really even name anything I NEEDED from it. Yes, it is fun to have cool, new things, and it can be a lot of fun to play around with in a VM or something, but I don't actually need any of that stuff for what I do on a computer day to day right this second.
After that, the answer was pretty clear for me as to what distribution to use.
Maybe 1 or 2 back when things were less stable, but any time I have used Linux in the past 7 years or so, and particularly since I started using Debian as my primary OS, I haven't had any problems outside of trying to get some windows applications to emulate correctly, and one time when I echo'd into sources.list with > instead of >>. Anything else is just stuff I had to learn, like my boot folder filling up with old images that have to be cleaned out occasionally.
My understanding with Tuta is that you cannot configure it to work with a third party desktop email client though, you are locked in to using theirs. You can't configure a Tuta email address to work with mutt or something for example I believe as there is no regular imap/pop like there are for services that don't use E2EE, or services that have some form of bridge for that like Proton did.
You basically add some repositories, install the drivers, and then set and check some configurations depending on what other parts of your environment look like.
I used to perform data analysis of robotics firmware logs which would generate several million log lines per hour and that was my second job out of college.
I don't know how you fuck up 60k lines that bad. Is he nesting 150 for loops and loading a copy of the data set in each one while mining crypto??
One time on Amazon, I purchased an air conditioner. The model they sent was not the model I bought so I went for a refund and to send it back the to the seller.
The seller representative basically tried to spin it as though the model I received was actually better than what I had tried to buy.
I told him that I didn't care, it is not what I bought, that this "better model" is twice the width of what I wanted and it states in its manual that it needs to be on its own dedicated circuit.
The fucking guy kept this up over a few messages. I told him that if he didn't take it back, I would just charge back my credit card because this was clearly a bait and switch
The next message the guy sends, he says that me "threatening" him by saying I'll charge back the card is immoral of me, and makes an allegory equating it to murdering someone by shooting them.
At this point I contact amazon proper, and give them the entire message log. The amazon rep is fucking horrified and says that they will investigate the seller.
The fucking guy sends me a message telling me that I shouldn't talk to amazon, because my correspondence with them gets CC'd to him.
I forward that message to the amazon rep as well.
The guy loses his fucking shit, starts making guesses at where I live, what I do for work, a bunch of shit. He says that he has a double major in marketing for some reason.
I demand that I never have to interact with him again. In his last message to me he tells me not to leave a bad review as it is a family owned business.
I leave a lengthy and scathing review, noting that someone with a double major in marketing who acts like this must have wasted a lot of money on their post secondary education.
I get connected to someone else who isn't insane who in their first message sends me the slip to mail this fucking air conditioner back, and I get my refund.
The Caeser cipher used to be a valid cryptography method, and then it was not.
What does this imply? That the creator of C++ thought that their language would be the end all be all?
Tough news for them I guess, but no, it is not. On a long enough timeline, neither is Rust probably, but such is the price of innovation.
To call superior innovations an "attack" is one of the most folly things one can do.
Before someone asks what makes Rust superior, the very fact that the C++ creator is using the term "attack" here should very well be evidence enough, because it is an ad hominem fallacy. Instead of criticizing Rust, because they cannot find a valid way to, they choose instead to attack the character of Rust users.
This is probably some of the best advice here. It's important to prioritize what is going to be the most costly if you don't fix it now, and if you try to do 7 things at once, you will feel like none of them will ever be done, which contributes to your stress more than still having 6 broken things after fixing one.
Amazing, I think that is all very interesting. It would be nice to be able to feel that free. Thank you for sharing!
