No, you don’t want all zeroesz, you want random data.

Within Linux you can quite easily do this yourself too

Yeaaahh, but does it though?

I’ve put loads of regular users on Linux and on average they have less issues than they had with windows

That is ignoring the installation. Linux install is download iso, burn it on USB, boot computer with said USB, run the install program, go through the 5-6 pages which takes about 15 minutes, reboot and the machine is done.

Windows 11 install is downloading ISO, burn it on USB, boot computer with said USB and then the boot up immet fails with this vague error. Spend a good hour on Internet searches to find that it’s some bios setting which is fine for Linux, but whatever. Make setting, reboot USB! Setup now crashes again on other gauge error. Spend another 4 hours on sraxhes only to find out that windows iso burning requires a special windows only burning program that will “fix” it and is totally not done on purpose to sabotage Linux users, but fine, were only 5 hours in and still have to start so boot up a VM in Linux, find that usb burner somewhere, download and install that, then download the iso again, burn it, dump it again in the machine and presto, er have an installer, yay!

Go through the pages, and more pages and more crap and install this sponsored content and watch ads and now you need an account at Microsoft and more pages and do you love me? Please let me know that you love me, more feedback because I’m Microsoft and I need feedback and now do you want these games that you hate, and you must install office you will love it even though you’d rather commit sepuku, and a fucking hour of clicking a thousand times later, windows is finally installed …?

Seriously, if I say that installing Linux was ten times easier than windows, it would be the understatement of the year.

In it’s general use, nobody will run into weird shit like they do on windows and to top it off, you got no issues with viruses, no ads nor spyware in the operating system itself, and shit just works.

Yeah, Linux has bugs, just like windows, but the experience is ten times better, I’ll die happily and proud on that hill

“Handbrake” is quite good at making high quality mkv files, you should be able to Automate a lot of it

ssh.serverdomain scripts that immediately can do things like turn on the required vpn. In combo with SSH keys and non port 22, it’s ideal

The point for me is that I will have 30 years of muscle memory to overcome

No, only vi

I might actually do that too, but not for ergonomics. I’m just going nuts with sometimes ctrl-c,. sometimes ctrl-shift-c, sometimes ctrl-ins

Welcome to jellyfin!

Let’s call it “big” influence , maybe?

Linux is ubiquitous, it’s everywhere, even on Reddit, even under your bed

Care to elaborate?

Like seriously, with the PHP extension gone from the URL you wouldn’t know it’s PHP but somehow it’s old because…?

It’s still the same apt. I believe fedora now uses something else, dnf or something like that. Either way, apt has worked fantastic for me for 99.9% of the time in the past 20 years, I’m not complaining

Oh no, snaps are the worst.

I’m talking apt and RPM, specifically

Wow, something positive about Linux package managers?

I’ve been hearing nothing but bitching and moaning for the past 10 years for no reason, to the point where I’m suspecting that this is Microsoft sponsoring a bunch of assholes to keep posting negative things about Linux.

Package managers are awesome and always have been afaiac.

Yeah no, Putin is a different story

He doesn’t give a shit about dead soldiers in body bags. Almost noone in Russia sees that, or if they do they’ll be told som lie about it. Its much simpler than in the US

You know what’s not simpler? Demographics. As I recently read somewhere, demographics is like a freight train, slow, but all of the sudden you hear this horn bare and you’re splattered under it.

Putin lost now about a million men of working age. That is a huge gash that will come back to haunt Russia. Not Putin, mind you, he’ll be dead and gone within a few years. Russia, though, is thoroughly fucked for the next decades. It already has low population issues before, and their demographics chart at this point is a fucking rollercoaster. Their population is already relatively old, and with the loss of about a million men, in a country largely dependent on mineral extraction and sale, it will be ugly.

it’s not really a proper language

Why, oh true Scotsman?

It’s slower than compiled languages

Probably, but it requires a whole lot less work to get something done. One developer pays for 20 big ass servers, so if I have to spin up one or two extra servers over requiring way less developers, that is a no-brainer

The go syntax is cleaner than PHP

Go kinda looks/feels like JavaScript to me whereas PHP feels more like C. I find modern PHP syntax to be cleaner than go, but that is a personal opinion. Either way, maintainability has more to do with your developers and coding guidelines than with the language itself.

So does your comment, what’s your point? Are you really trying to tell me that an app developed in PHP 15 years ago still feels old? Because doh.

Next cloud feels old to you?

• PHP doesn’t have a built in web server because it doesn’t need one, makes development a whole lot easier as each page is it’s independent process. No worries about memory loss, state corruption, or other issues. IMHO it adds to its security and ease of handling

• It’s super fast and easy to setup and get going

• Web sockets work just fine, I use them daily on dozens of servers doing hundreds of requests / sec all day every day

• They did an audit and found issues? Great, I applaud people searching and finding issues. Shall we do the same for Rust, go, or chuckle JavaScript?

• You’re unfamiliar.with the language. <<< Yeah, that is the standard reason for hating PHP, it’s not <insert my personal favorite language>

I stand corrected!

Why would anyone even use Synology?

Just buy a pc with big hard drives
