Man this thread was a rollercoaster. Seems like you ran into some incredibly fragile egos. For what it’s worth, I switched my 73 year old dad and his business to ZorinOS (An Ubuntu-based distro designed for former Windows users to easily switch to Linux) with LibreOffice, Thunderbird, and Firefox. Granted he’s a solo shop, but he was able to pick up ZorinOS fairly easily.

There’s also FitoTrack which is an open source, local android app for fitness tracking

So like the 21st century version of smallpox blankets

That happens on my RSS reader, I haven’t looked into it too deeply but I’m assuming he’s using JavaScript to populate the entries and are thus not being populated on none dowser clients

You’ll be fine, it’s like when people get worried about wearing red or blue or other “gang colors”, context matters. The – in your case pants – that you’re wearing needs to be combined with a bunch of other markers to signal yourself as a Nazi

Oh fair good point

Well then you’d have to keep track of all messages recieved. An easier option might just be to sign the current system time, make sure the clocks are synchronized, and accept a +/- 1 second wiggle

I don’t know about local send specifically, but KDE Connect will do that. And if you have an FTP client on your phone, then yes you can easily spin up an FTP server on your local network and transfer files that way

Spotube is an android app that provides a frontend to Spotify and allows you to download songs you listen to to your device. Im guessing you could sync those files to your server and store them in a different system.

FreeIPA and Keycloak will give you directory management (LDAP and Kerberos), identity management, and single-sign on (OIDC and SAML) which if all your computers are running Linux as well, will give you centralized management of users.

You can then set other FOSS business management/productivity applications like NextCloud, Oodoo, Seafile, OnlyOffice, LibreOffice, CryptPad, etc. To use Keycloak as its authentication mechanism.

A lot of this will depend on what kind of work the business does.

You’ll also want to look into log management and SEIM for security monitoring, Wazuh, Graylog, and others. This is especially true if the business has any data compliancy responsibilities in the country this is in.

In that case, this seems pretty reasonable – disclaimer: I can’t personally attest to the effectiveness of this

I just wish I had done something absurd like sport a bright pink mohawk at some point before going bald 😂

Lol “Ukraine’s war against Russia” get the fuck out of here you punk ass shill

How about instead of restricting use of the software, adding in a clause that states "Use of this software is a formal acknowledgement and agreement by the user that race and gender are a social construct, gender identity and sexual orientation is a spectrum, humans can not be illegal,… " etc.

Thus use of the software is not restricted and is still open source, but forces groups, organizations, and people who disagree with the above to acknowledge something counter to their system of power.

The Homelab Show was a good one, though they haven’t posted a new podcast in almost a year. Lawrence Systems and Learn Linux TV are the makers of it and have their own content as well

Correct, the hard disk in the laptop can not be read. This is where having a good backup strategy is important. Similar to how if your hard disk dies you’re no longer able to access the material on the hard disk. For me, the downsides of encryption do not outweigh the benefits of having my data secure.

I enabled full disk encryption during OS installation, set up a secure passphrase, and then set up automated encrypted backups to my home server, which are automatically backed up to a remote server.

I gain peace of mind in knowing that if my laptop is stolen I’m only out the cost of the laptop, the data within is still safe and secure.

• harddrives can be corrupted, too. That’s where backups come in
• True, though one could use a security key or password manager to overcome that, or setup secure boot/TPM to where a password isn’t actually needed. If all else fails, again, backups.

What are the downsides to encryption? Though you may have negligible benefits, if there are also negligible downsides then the more secure option should be chosen.
