1. I don’t distrohop. Instead I just use what works for me and what I find comfortable.

2. You will eventually need to use the terminal. And it will be overwhelming at first. But eventually the learning curve flattens a little when you get more comfortable not breaking your system ;þ

3. Can’t comment

4. File extensions are, in essence, nothing but a convention. You don’t even need them in Windows, really (You can open a file with any program, for example, you will just not get anything useful from it). So it’s far from a big deal.

Pretty sure I just had a stroke

“One can’t pwn forever” are words I will write on my tombstone

Joke’s on you I send them 52 at once so that I get a year ahead

Probably spelled “faks” in their mind

Bragging rights.

“Home style goodness”

I bet

Someone will buy this thing.
Someone will hack this thing.
And this someone will make it open

It’s a subscription service for an airbag vest. They’d rather have you die than not pay for a product you already purchased. I’d say that whether or not there’s a mechanical failure, the billing department does want to kill poor people.

There are few things I’d suggest more than keeping Windows and Linux installations WELL separated. I’ve had windows update EFI entries for the whole system more than once, leaving the linux OS unbootable.

I couldn’t possibly care less about Docker Desktop. Portainer is a much better solution when graphical administration becomes necessary. (Which should be never)

Nazis do not deserve to live. I don’t see the problem.

but where is your recognition of the tens of millions off bad command executions that happen in small IT shops every month?

A bad command execution in a small IT shop will only bring down a couple of websites at most. A bad command execution in large cloud providers can literally make significant portions of the web unavailable, just by the sheer number of services dependent on it.

The same applies for most of the “practical realities” you noted out: Redundant infrastructure can only work as well as the software running on it. The convenience is not worth the risk.

st all the way. Quick to launch and it works well

We have already seen the effects of over-reliance on a few CDNs and cloud providers: One bad push, one ill intentioned employee and potentially entire portions of the web might become unaccessible. That by itself should have been the end of this business model long ago

Funnily enough, when I upgraded from a SATA SSD to an NVME, I didn’t have to reinstall anything. Instead I just moved the LVM LVs to the NVME and rewrote the boot config. Just booted up from the existing installation without having to install anything.
Of course, tune2fs reports the right age for the filesystem:

# tune2fs -l /dev/mapper/VolGroupSSD-ssdvol | grep created
Filesystem created:       Thu Jun 16 10:33:49 2022 << This used to be the root fs, inside the SATA SSD
# tune2fs -l /dev/mapper/VolGroupSAT-satvol | grep created
Filesystem created:       Mon Nov 14 14:13:49 2022 << When I bought the NVME and created a new VG just for the SATA drive

That’s what I was going to say:
“CGPGrey is a very good channel, why is that video here though”

It depends very much on the copyright laws on where you live. You said you don’t live in the US, which already makes you better off than a lot of people here -However, Europe also has very strict © laws. So it is always recommended.
