Re: Is linux your daily driver? 4 Hours Ago by fzlr Yes, it is. I may be forced to work with Microsoft products at work but in my free time I'm using Aurora. bootc is a GAME CHANGER. Re: How to show visa info based on country selection in a travel form? 3 Days Ago by Biiim I felt like some fun, so I just put together an example for you using CDN's and bootstrap 5. From what you are talking about you probably want to put some of that logic into the Javascript and not need to send a server request for each one, I usually do this kind of thing with javascript objects/arrays (eg `settings['GB']['visa_req'] = false;… Re: Best Approach for Starting a Linux-Based Home Automation Pro 3 Days Ago by WilliamOG Great project idea, and you're already ahead with your electronics background. For the OS, Raspberry Pi OS Lite is a solid starting point—lightweight, well-supported, and ideal for headless setups. If you want something even more stripped down, check out DietPi or Ubuntu Server for Pi, but the trade-off is slightly less community support. Re: Is linux your daily driver? 4 Weeks Ago by Ulfson > Linux has come a long way, but it's still primarily a server OS, correct? How many of you linux fanboys and girls use it as your primary operating system for daily tasks? I've been a Mac user for 30 years or so, as I like the hardware Apple makes. And macOS has a Unix command line, which I rely on heavily - getting the best of both … Need a small footprint desktop with decent power 3 Weeks Ago by wolfyshoo Hey everyone, My current desktop tower is getting old and frankly, it's huge and noisy. I'm looking to replace it with something much more compact that can still handle my workflow, which is mainly web development (multiple browser tabs, code editor, local server), some graphic design work (Figma, Affinity Designer), and occasionally light 1080p … Re: What are "Other agent type" Googlebot types in GSC crawl stats? 1 Week Ago by bijutoha > No manual actions or security issues. Okay, Dani, that's genuinely good news about no manual actions or security issues, at least that rules out the scariest stuff! But it makes the 80% deindexing even more puzzling. Since it's not a penalty, my mind immediately jumps to some kind of technical configuration problem that might have … Re: Attn Publishers: Do you block AI bots? 2 Weeks Ago by Dani We use Cloudflare, which I'm not sure if you use or are familiar with, but they have a feature called AI audit that analyzes AI crawlers. For example, I can see how many requests were made by Amazon Alexa's bot, ChatGPT's bot, Apple Siri's bot, etc. You can block any one or many of these crawlers by specifying their name in your robots.txt file.… Re: Page Speed Issue 1 Week Ago by kearawill Yes, that can happen. WordPress sites often perform better out of the box thanks to built-in caching, optimized themes, and CDNs. Java sites (especially custom-built ones) need manual setup for things like lazy loading, minification, server response, and JS optimization. It’s not the language—it’s the setup. Use Lighthouse to target key Core Web … Re: How much anonymity does a VPN really provide? 3 Weeks Ago by TurisVPN A VPN helps hide your IP and encrypt your internet, so others (like your ISP) can’t see what you do online. But it doesn’t make you totally anonymous. The VPN company can still see your traffic (if they keep logs). Websites can track you with cookies, and if you log in with your real info, they know who you are. So, a VPN is good for privacy … Re: How much anonymity does a VPN really provide? 3 Weeks Ago by Liam91 A VPN is a tool that keeps your internet connection safe and private. It stops others from seeing what you do online. But a VPN doesn’t make you completely anonymous. To pick a good VPN, check: -How you pay (Bitcoin is more private than a credit card) -If they keep records of your activity (best if they don’t) -If they share IP addresses … Re: Is linux your daily driver? 3 Weeks Ago by trcooke While I was at university 20 years ago one of my course friends regularly extolled the virtues of Linux. He was a big fan of Gentoo which I never really got into, he like fiddling with the configuration and I liked a working system, two characteristics that rarely overlapped for me except for rare moments. But, I was sold on Linux in general and… Re: Is linux your daily driver? 3 Weeks Ago by Dani If I can assume you attended university right out of high school (or at least the US equivalent), then that would put you at pretty much my age. Nice :) Please switch to macOS. It's sooo much more refined, and I would say much more than BSD "with a fancy window manager" these days. Although I haven't used Linux for my personal PC in … Re: Is linux your daily driver? 3 Weeks Ago by trcooke Maybe a wee bit older than you Dani, I was 26 or 27 doing a Masters degree when I met my Linux loving friend. I'm 46 now. I have had Macs but it annoys me that they get obsoleted by software long before the hardware runs out. My wife has a MacBook Air and it's great because it's zero effort to maintain but the cost is replacing it even when it's… Re: Need a small footprint desktop with decent power 3 Weeks Ago by Dani Not too long ago, I ditched a suuuuuper expensive ~10 year old Dell Precision workstation with like 64 cores or something crazy, multiple video cards, dedicated RAID controller, etc. for a much less expensive M1 Max Macbook Pro. The macbook outperformed the Dell for everything I did by far. Re: Need a small footprint desktop with decent power 3 Weeks Ago by trcooke I'm a developer too and 14 years ago I bought an entry level MacBook Air and honestly it was probably the best laptop I've ever bought and I used it for development for years and years. It used to creak a bit if I ran more than one instance of IntelliJ, but other than that it took everything I threw at it. I have since replaced my own laptop, but … Re: Theory on the VPN 3 Weeks Ago by Liam91 Sounds like you're diving deep into how tunneling apps work! These apps often use VPN-like methods to route traffic through servers, sometimes exploiting free access points. Configs like .hat may include encryption keys or payload setups.

When I got them neither had disks, so I popped some disks in and installed a Win Server 2019 hyper-v service. So both servers have entirely clean and activated installations of Server 2019. Every day without fail both servers … Re: Custom Media Server 2 Months Ago by Vince_6 I used Plex and a Mac for years to stream to my TV. When I switched to linux, PLex ran but couldn't find my media directories. I finally found a product called Emby. It has a server that runs and aps for many different divices. It even has one for my FireTV. Works great. 500 Internal Server Error: Need to Hire Developers in USA 2 Months Ago by YashSmith My web app throws a 500 Internal Server Error despite the server running fine.

Re: Fujitsu Windows Server 2019 Servers Rebooting at 11pm every day 1 Month Ago by NuGG Aha! I cracked it. My goodness this has been driving me mad for two weeks. Turns out previous owners had a power on schedule configured, and the management controller retained the old config even though I put a fresh OS on it. Doh! Live and learn.

Most of the posts here seem to be the same words about SEO/digital marketing over and over. That doesn't attract too many eyeballs. There is very little programming content any more.

Not to knock ya, but I think another part of the problem is that *all* that's left are dinosaurs who aren't necessarily skilled at the most trendiest things these days. There's … Re: Fujitsu Windows Server 2019 Servers Rebooting at 11pm every day 1 Month Ago by Reverend Jim Agreed. But programming basics are still something people need help with, and the basics have not changed appreciably over my career. Dinosaurs have more free time than those many decades younger. I, for one, have a lot and I am willing to spend part of it here. Re: Fujitsu Windows Server 2019 Servers Rebooting at 11pm every day 1 Month Ago by Dani > But programming basics are still something people need help with, and the basics have not changed appreciably over my career. They sure have changed appreciably during *my* career! But maybe that's because my career is in web development, and the web, and the technologies that power the web, have changed *a lot* over the past 25 years. Heck… Re: Fujitsu Windows Server 2019 Servers Rebooting at 11pm every day 1 Month Ago by Reverend Jim Certainly the technology and tools have changed but principles of design and good programming styles have not. Python has, for the most part, replaced (effectively) dead languages like COBOL, and now-niche languages like FORTRAN, but structured programming and modular design are still essential techniques.
