Or it gets them into a negative feedback loop since AI hardly ever tries to contradict you.

But yeah. At least they're opening up to someone/something.

If you're behind a conventional router they still do NAT afaik.

Per default your IPv6 address should be an internal one if it's enabled.

Yeah, we managed to recreate that in a lab. Those old OS's are super vulnerable.

EOL means no more security updates, which means attack vectors don't get patched.

If you keep using a Windows installation (or any OS for that matter) that isn't patched regularly you are very likely to be victim to some malicious actor eventually. It's not manual hacking anymore, it's bots scraping the whole internet exploiting known vulnerabilities completely automated.

The risk is much lower if you're in a home network with NAT, where your PCs IP is not publicly reachable, but if you communicate with any webservices you're still vulnerable.

As example. If you nowadays put a Windows XP machine live on the internet with a public IP, it will be compromised within minutes.

So yeah. Good call switching to Mint, but please don't use unpatched Windows.

Josh's articles seem to be bangers most of the time.

Unlike the people he's writing about, which probably never banged.

Isn't the Wikipedia article usually already the summary of the topic?

If there's an article with more than 20 references to papers it's usually already abridged enough.

Just auto-generate videos with AI images and voiceover and add subway surfers gameplay on the side for those who think this slop is needed.

After lunch I feel like a 7

Seems true.

I use Hugo for static site generation and it makes the RSS stuff for me.

What kind of affiliation are you talking about?

This is super cool. Well done!

That's a tough question and I don't really have am answer.

But if it's work related I'd look into finding a Windows SysAdmin course somewhere and ask my employer to pay for it, since it helps with your work.

A cheaper alternative would be online courses. I found Udemy quite helpful in that regard.

Another possibility is Microsoft Learn, which offers basic to professional "Learning paths" you can do on your own time. There's also a SysAdmin certification available if I recall correctly.

Edit, since I just reread your post: Microsoft Learn is almost completely about Azure. So you should really take a look at it.

Glad it worked out for you!

But it's definitely one of the deadly sins of selfhosting.

Everyone that thinks self hosting E-Mail is easy, I urge you to run your own mailserver and see how many mails actually reach their targets.

Your mailserver won't be trusted by anyone, which makes your email always be delivered as spam, if they don't get blocked outright.

Otherwise this scoring system seems to be quite alright. Even though it could use some more detail and citing some sources for the numbers would be great.

Okay, I agree, but you can't tell me some server rooms don't look cool af.

Since no one mentioned it yet.

You can also add the executable to Steam as a non-steam game and in its settings you can configure Proton as compatibility tool.

That works quite well for some stuff.

Skywind sounds like something Thor would call his farts.

It's visible but you can barely make out the pieces because of all the foliage.

Here's a view of the woods board (it's below the trees):

You can do the woods response, whereas both queens will choose the bears to go into the woods with them rather than any male pieces. This leaves black without any frontline but also sacrifices both queens.
