Can't really go wrong with Debian or Ubuntu server LTS

How? I've run several for years with no issue. They're as stable as a rock

What music genre or artist changed your life?

Terrorvision were the first rock band I heard and was like, 'this is it'. In was sat on the floor in the living room listening to the radio on big ass 80's headphones and Alice What's the Matter came on. I was hooked and from then on I've been a rock and guitar fan. You just can't beat a good overdriven rock guitar sound it's magical.

Lock down Linux for the workplace (kbin.social)

I run a small business and would like to use Linux for its free naturet. Is there a way to lock down linux using software or a whole distro that would prevent people from doing pretty much anything other than opening a web browser similar to Windows or ChromeOS. I would use ChromeOS, had it not been made by Google as I am not...

I've found the gold standard to be the NCSC Guidelines. This covers everything around proper deployment of end user devices in an organization. https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/device-security-guidance

They have clamp down configurations for Windows and Ubuntu, plus others. This is the Ubuntu page, but there'll be lots of cross over to other distros https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/device-security-guidance/platform-guides/ubuntu-lts

Their security configuration packs are hosted on GitHub so you can vet them first if you want https://github.com/ukncsc/Device-Security-Guidance-Configuration-Packs

I grew up in York and the Jorvik Viking Centre is brilliant. It really really smells, but that's the point, it's authentic to the time.

If I'd done a shit that massive I'd want my surviving family to put it on display too.

Imagine a town with lots of people where everyone shits in the street. It's that authentic smell.

What did you think the past was like?

Yes. Pressure and temperature are the main factors influencing the speed of sound through water, which is very important when calibrating sonars as you need to know how quickly the sound will travel to know how far away a response is.

Lets hope the whole fediverse gets to answer this question. I need answers!

I suspect it's networking. Every damn app links to something on a network and network calls are slooooow. Try opening apps on a machine that has a network connection but no internet access and it's a really bad experience. It's like they have to phone home before they finish loading and they'll sit there stopping everything until they timeout.

I dont see much advantage over Firefox with some extensions. Plus I'd rather support a non-chromium based browser as we're dangerously close to ending up with the www == chromium only and I think that'd be terrible.

blackstrat,

The only reason I can think that people who want to make a new browser dont fork Firefox is because firefox can already do whatever it is they want to do in their new browser via extensions. This is only a recommendation for firefox in my eyes.

Comment syncing to my instance is a problem. I get posts but comments, not so much.

I have an Ubuntu VM running on my Proxmox server. It just exports some folders over NFS that I mount from my laptops and PC. Then I have Nextcloud running in a separate VM so my phone can upload photos. The NC storage is all the NFS mounted folders from the NAS. Simple and works.

I used to spend a whole lot of time on the Winamp forums where the community was just top notch.

I met my first girlfriend on MSN Messenger. ICQ used to be great too.
