I love games that are story driven. Although if it does not have adequate interactivity, like meaningful choices and actions, then I would rather have it as a movie.

that is relatively low assuming “private bytes” is virtual memory usage. Is that Firefox being idle? How many tabs do you usually keep for your everyday web browsing?

If in order to achieve security, users have to give up their privacy and freedom, I guess mobile operating systems are behind regular desktop or server oriented operating systems. I mean no matter how secure the operating system is, with bad opsec things can go wrong pretty quickly anyway.

Personally? Because telegram feels dodgier than WhatsApp. At least I can trust WhatsApp enough around security. If I really want to upgrade my privacy or freedom, I would have chosen either Matrix, Signal or Session.

Most people only relate Linux to Ubuntu, Linux init system to SysVInit or SystemD, Containerisation to Docker or Kubernetes, Linux desktop to Gnome.

In some cases, it may be due to official support being available but most of the time it’s just that people are being taught Ubuntu first as “THE Linux” and that’s what they use since then.

I don’t care much about what other people are comfortable in using, but please don’t expect tech support from me. Every time I have to use Windows I get frustrated at how it forcibly feeds me stuff I don’t want. Although I admit that sometimes I joke to people to switch to Linux when they get frustrated with Windows as well, but that’s about it.

And also, some popular memes about Linux are probably just that, memes. Don’t take it too seriously.

Is it now acceptable to leave the office on time and not join the after work nomikai?

QR payments don’t impose fees on cardholders and merchants.

I thought they were going to tax QRIS payments, or was that only for Indonesia?

I am unsure if I can ELI5 those without also ELI5-ing about Computer Network, VPN and Firewall.

They are VPNs. Like a regular network, they connect your devices through their network. They may put Firewall rules to allow you to talk to X networks (any specified networks). That also means the VPN may not allow you to connect to the internet through their network. Now the difference between ZeroTier and Tailscale and other VPNs for accessing the internet is that ZeroTier and Tailscale only permit your traffic to your other devices that are bound to your account and not to the internet (your other internet data won’t go through zerotier/tailscale). This configuration is great because you have a virtual and secluded network that you can connect to from anywhere via the internet using ZeroTier/Tailscale networks (with your virtually local IP on ZeroTier/Tailscale).

I’m hosting an email server on a VPS that has fail2ban in it. A lot of ports are open but only wireguard and knockd are listening.

For remote server management, I would use wireguard for regular ssh access, but when I need to configure the wireguard I can just disable/reenable the wireguard-only ssh firewall rule using port knocking, there is also the option of using the serial console on the VPS web ui but it is slower.

Honestly, I’m not sure myself if my public facing services face a DoS attack. Well, there’s always an option of using Cloudflare. With that being said though, I think in your case you should just use a free “VPN” like Tailscale or ZeroTier.

Those random white stripes would definitely encourage people to cross!

Modern PHP is quite performant and nice to work with and it’s still improving! Also frameworks like Laravel is very established.

When comparing the time when I use PHP and JavaScript, I love the simplicity and versatility of JavaScript but PHP’s strongly typed (with runtime support) and object oriented language often make more sense imo.

I think the strong benefit of using JavaScript for backend comes down to being able to have unified full-stack codebases, one language fits all kind of thing.
