Wireshark Is 25: The email that started it all and lessons learned along the way
  • Very cool. Wireshark is one of those things that has been around for so long it's easy to take for granted, so it is nice to be reminded that it took a huge cooperative effort over more than two decades to get where it is. One of the really great examples of what open source can do.

  • Why did no one mention this to me?
  • Yeah, I like having a few isos on Ventoy for live booting from random PCs for troubleshooting. Very convenient being able to have multiple architectures, DEs, versions of distros to boot from on one drive.

  • Performative capitalism
  • I don't know, I don't design trucks. I do use one for work though, and we use all the clearance from the vehicle's height, towing capacity, cargo space and passenger space. And the visibility is not terrible. It would suck to get hit by one, but that's kinda just how it is. You wouldn't want to be hit by an 18 wheeler either, but you probably want the groceries they carry. Just like you want landscaping, construction, utility work etc performed with pickup trucks completed.

    I do wish that light duty compact pickup trucks were still more of a thing, they can also do some lighter duty work while being more reasonable when used as a passenger vehicle.

  • Antivirus always flags these two instances(?)
  • Sure, but Windows Defender is built in and doesn't suck. I have even heard security professionals make the argument that anti viruses may increase attack surface as much or more than they defend you (not necessarily asserting that is the case).

  • What's a single player PC game you can't get enough of?
  • There's no game I don't eventually get tired of, but here are three that are fantastic and I can recommend playing for hours and hours:

    • FTL
    • Slay the Spire
    • Darkest Dungeon

    All indie titles, none of them new, still fantastic and well worth it if you haven't played any on this list. Also all challenging roguelikes, so be warned. =P

  • Reddit Refugees on Lemmy, how are you guys liking lemmy so far?
  • I like it a lot, but it has a lot of bugs that drive me crazy. Particularly with the Jerboa app, but also on the web. That's part of the early days for any software, though, especially one undergoing an explosion in its userbase. I'm happy to stick it out, and Lemmy is already a ~90% replacement for what reddit has been to me for the last 10+ years (feels weird to say that).

  • Ubuntu trying to install snap AND Firefox even though I have removed them a year back
  • I would recommend Mint for an easier transition, its what I jumped to from Ubuntu due to Canonical's behavior and I've been happy. It is definitely simpler to use than Debian - which is not to say anything bad about Debian. It's just less hand-holdy. I like it for servers.

  • Awesome.

    There is finally a decent alternative to reddit, after one has been needed for years? And it's open source federated software?? AND I can sign up on an instance that supports free sharing of media?!

    I have been waiting a long time for reddit to fuck up badly enough that something else could fill the vacuum they created and do it right. Awesome.
