  • You want either mattermost or the whole matrix stack (backend, plus element with voice/video calls).

    Matrix/Element is more of a discord alternative, whereas mattermost tries to be more of a slack alternative, where it seems to have some calendar integrations.

  • No. There was malware in the releases. The issue was most likely accidental, something that spread from their computer. But they didn't handle it well.

    Discussed here:

    The emulation on android community definitely has a problem with ungrateful trolls though, particularly on the discords, which is why I am annoyed whenever projects bother to create one. I've seen 2-3 projects get shut down because of harassment on their discords.

  • Depends on the program and the professors. I'm doing computer scuence at CSUN, and I've gotten lucky, none of the online exams have required any proctoring software (rootkit monitoring software). They just do them in the browser.

  • I'm pretty sure it's possible to use timeshift to create backups on another drive using rsync (instead of btrfs). They are incremental, and deduplicated, as well.

    But the other commenters are correct, timeshift is not a backup tool, it's more for snapshots to undo system changes you may not want. In addition to that, it doesn't do user files by default — because again, it's not a backup tool.

    btrfs send/receive technically does what you want, using btrfs to do backups to another drive, but I don't think any GUI app supports it. Plus, you would have to create snapshots for btrfs from the command line.

    Your best bet are apps explicitly designed for this usecase, like someone mentioned pika, or borg or restic are good choices. They don't do BTRFS, but they do incremental, deduplicated updates in a user friendly way.

  • This is common in the IT world. Printers are such painful devices and installing drivers on every Windows desktop just adds to the pain, but by doing this you don't need to install drivers, as Linux can serve something that doesn't need drivers to print to.
