  • We regularly believe that, because we know, everyone else knows, and that’s a failure I’m extremely guilty of. I gave my sister a Qnap NAS about 6 years ago and told her to just plug it in, plug in the land cable and set it up. 2 years after that she calls me asking for info on a data recovery service for her Mac. So I asked her why she needed data recovery, that’s what the NAS was for. Well, she did what I told her, but never configured backing up her files.

    So, yeah, now I assume everyone is ignorant and pass for arrogant some times over explaining.




  • I have been around way too many distros, and regularly distro hop to see if something else out there will be easier to maintain for my use. I have yet to find anything that comes close to the features and speed Fedora offers for high end devices on current generation hardware (minus Nvidia, that’s a fucking flop for Fedora).

    Granted, there are MANY amazing distros out there, and if you’re stuck with Nvidia hardware or want to set up a server, yeah, stay away from Fedora. It will work, but it’s kind of a hassle. However, as a desktop/laptop distro, you’ll be hard pressed to find anything as solid and cutting edge without having to live inside a terminal.






  • Lol, I find it so funny that people actually believe they are doing damage by down voting. I still think the way I do, and it’s why I don’t use anything mainstream at all.

    Fedora for work, Fedora on my laptop, a ProxMox server with 20TB of space to hold everything I want.

    Add to that the awesome blessing of living where most people go only on expensive vacations, own my business with my wife, and get to enjoy beach, pool, large backyard with 3 dogs and own my time.

    How can I do all this? Easy, I get to control my time, my money, my data and my life.

    Like you say, losers scrolling mindlessly in social networks seeing what the corps want them to see, getting controlled, and then crying like little bitches because “we need someone to do something about all this we’re addicted to” instead of growing some balls and taking control of their lives.

    My kids spend all day at school, and all afternoon and weekends outside. Guess who’s kids will be tough enough when they grow up to lead the sheep.

    I remember Zuckerberg himself saying that he didn’t allow his kids to use Facebook. Why people never took that as the most clear warning they would ever get is beyond me.




  • Reminds me of my drugs days. “I can control it, I use them because I want to, not because I need them. I can quit any time”. 20 years later, no house, no family, no money, and half my recommended weight. And it’s the same for every addiction. The only way to get rid of a problem is by first accepting there is a problem. Changing pushers never made it better, just saying.
