What I see is that someone is arguing the point that all Russians are criminals. If someone is sending bad code, they usually just get banned, this time it’s preventive measures based on ethnicity.

This is such an odd thing to do… I really cannot see the benefits for the project doing this. Maybe those maintainers were payed for their work and sanctions prohibit paying them or something?

No one knows yet. Given the scale of the operation it’s most likely a large organization.

True if they are somewhat technical to search for solutions on their own. If they just use web browser then there is bothing to worry about

Installs arch with install script, cannot fix grub, reinstalls arch. Good comedy, would recommend. Martincitopants style editing is lovely

I didnt leave because I was tired of windows, i stayed because it was better for development. I learned about other benefits later once I started using it

To be fair, the best standard would be to send off new users to immutable distros

So there are safe countries and non safe countries now? Whats the difference?

I can reccomend huawei laptops with metal chassis. I’ve had my matebook x pro for around 6 years. My past laptops made of plastic disentegrted over time

I would rather say that help questions can be posted there. That way its not forving anyone to do anything

This cannot be true. The dip in windows is corrolated with the increase in linux. Its just a measurement error

disqualified!

Use user agent switcher and set it to something random. However that makes your fingerprint unique. I’ve read that people set it to windows just to blend in the masses

Exciting. I’ll have to give it a spin on my hardware

no, a container is not a virtual machine. Containers, unlike virtual machines, uses the same kernel as host system. That means you cannot spin up a windows container on linux because windows uses NT kernel and linux uses linux kernel. What containers like that will in fact do is allow you to get applications from different distros as if you were running that distro.

For your use case (windows xp game emulation) there are two options. A virtual machine or using wine. My suggestion is to try first “bottles” and then VM

What do you mean that a file deduplication will take forever if there are duplicated directories? That the scan will take forever or that manual confirmation will take forever?

That sounds doable. I would however not trust my self to code something bug free on the first go xD

This will indeed save space but I don’t want links either. I unique files

I had multiple systems which at some point were syncing with syncthing but over time I stopped using my desktop computer and syncthing service got unmaintained. I’ve had to remove the ssd of the old desktop so I yoinked the home directory and saved it into my laptop. As you can probably tell, a lot of stuff got duplicated and a lot of stuff got diverged over time. My idea is that I would merge everything into my laptops home directory, and rather then look at the diverged files manually as it would be less work. I don’t think doing a backup with all my redundant files will be a good idea as the initial backup will include other backups and a lot of duplicated files.
