- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 2 weeks ago:
A) Nope. You’re spreading FUD. Got a link?
B) I’m ignoring you. You’re talking gibberish.
B2) You’re still wrong and in over your head. Remember, the ask was for an out of box solution for full drive encryption, silently decrypted via TPM (using Secure Boot’s PCR 7) that still supports OS hibernation.
C) Wut?
- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 2 weeks ago:
A) You’ve said nothing relevant. We already knew all of this. Recall isn’t being installed or turned on on any of my Windows boxes. Copilot is dumb but it isn’t collecting any data you don’t voluntarily feed it.
B) I don’t disagree with whatever point you’re trying to make but it has nothing to do with Windows. Unless you know something we don’t?
B2) You’re lying
B3) What?!
C) You’re initiating searches through the Microsoft Windows Start Menu™ and are mad it’s launching Edge? Do I have that right?
- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 2 weeks ago:
A) None of that has actually happened. If you want to back down from hyperbole and provide specific examples, I will consider addressing them.
B) The U.S. Government is not an adversary in my threat model. If it is one in yours, I assume you are running Qubes OS, which is a completely different conversation. With Windows, I have access to Secure Boot and TPM-backed full drive encryption (including hibernation support) out of the box. Can you do that with Linux? Also, you know as well as everyone else here that the MSA requirement is easy to bypass.
C) Again, provide specifics. I don’t default any of my apps to Microsoft’s and this just doesn’t happen.

I’m sorry, I don’t get it. For what are we coping?
- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 2 weeks ago:
I should have mentioned that I still love Linux though…

So where do those of us who don’t think Windows is the literal worst OS ever fit into your analogy?
- Comment on What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs 2 weeks ago:
Yeah Win11 will probably be a noticeable performance hit on that. Especially Explorer which they made dog slow when adding tabs and the new context menu.
The Office apps and browser will probably be about the same.
- Comment on What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs 3 weeks ago:
I’m running Windows 11 on a 12 year old X79 platform. Runs just fine.
But it was definitely top of the line in its day and 48GB of RAM keeps any system relatively snappy.

It only happens twice a year though.
- Comment on Most file types are just a renamed .zip 1 month ago:
You’re not missing much. A few modern file types are zips with expected folder structures, especially MSOffice files. But this is nowhere near universally true.
You can open a file in your text editor of choice and if you see it start with PK (for Phil Katz the creator of the format and the original PKZIP/PKUNZIP programs) then it’s really a zip.
Also, by the logic of the OP, all DLLs are EXEs.
- Comment on Microsoft is enabling BitLocker device encryption by default on Windows 11 2 months ago:
I’m rocking a 12-year-old 3930k with BitLocker on all drives and it’s perfectly fine.
- Comment on Microsoft is enabling BitLocker device encryption by default on Windows 11 2 months ago:
Agreed. The immature iamsosmart user base is making me strongly consider leaving Lemmy for good. There just aren’t enough actual professionals here for any serious discussion in a technical community. It’s just a bunch of 20-year-olds who think they have the world figured out. And they all downvote based on emotion rather than facts (which I am quite prepared for).
Microsoft accounts, OneDrive, and BitLocker are absolutely great features for the average user providing SSO, cloud storage with ransomware-proof backups, and seamless full-disk encryption.
I love Linux too, but there seems to be no room for nuance on Lemmy. These children are insufferable.

Yeah that sounds about right.
- Comment on How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day? 3 months ago:
There’s no way you need to somehow eat more to lose weight. Are you sure you’re counting your calories correctly? Using an app? Tracking everything, especially drinks like sodas and alcohol?

- Comment on The Google TV Streamer might be the Apple TV 4K rival we’ve been waiting for - The Verge 3 months ago:
Yeah but $30 USD vs $100 USD targets completely different customers and use cases.
I was willing to spend $30 per TV. But not $100.
- Comment on The Google TV Streamer might be the Apple TV 4K rival we’ve been waiting for - The Verge 3 months ago:
Well they’re discontinuing the OG Chromecast and Chromecast w/ Google TV for this. So you’re probably right.

Never invest too heavily in Google anything.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Did you have to install an app called Company Portal or Intune? If no, then they probably don’t have access to your device, except for possibly being able to selectively wipe school data. They could also be using another MDM solution like Airwatch, but again, you would have had to have installed something (and unlikely, since universities get massive discounts on Microsoft licensing).
Even if you do have Company Portal, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s managed as it’s still used to broker communication and authentication between Office apps on Android. The app itself would be able to tell you if the device is managed.
And as the other poster mentioned, if they had you install a root certificate for the university they can intercept and inspect HTTPS traffic from your device while on their network. But that still doesn’t give them access to the data-at-rest on your device.
- Comment on Traefik and external services 4 months ago:
If you’re sure you’ve got a DNS entry for the Pihole FQDN pointing at Traefik, open the dev panel in your browser (F12), switch it to the Network tab, and visit the pihole URL.
See if you get anything back and especially take note of the HTTP status codes.
- Comment on Traefik and external services 4 months ago:
Can you see the router and service in the Traefik dashboard and do they show any errors there?
- Comment on Traefik and external services 4 months ago:
I think you’re close.
You need to change
service: pihole-rtr
toservice: pihole-svc
.Do I have to redefine all of the same information I did in my Traefik yml but in this separate config.yml?
No, you just need to reference it like you have. Define once, reference many.
- Comment on Traefik and external services 4 months ago:
No worries for the question. It’s not terribly intuitive.
The configs live on the Traefik server. In my static traefik.yml config I have the following providers section, which adds the
file
provider in addition to thedocker
provider which you likely already have:providers: docker: endpoint: "unix:///var/run/docker.sock" exposedByDefault: false file: directory: /config watch: true
And in the /config folder mapped into the Traefik container I have several files for services external to docker. You can combine them or keep them separate since the
watch: true
setting tells it to read in all files (and it’s near instant when you create them, no need to restart Traefik).Here is my homeassistant.yml in that folder (I have a separate VM running HASS outside of Docker/Traefik):
http: routers: homeassistant-rtr: entryPoints: - https service: homeassistant-svc rule: "Host(`home.example.com`)" tls: certResolver: examplecom-dns services: homeassistant-svc: loadBalancer: servers: - url: "http://hass1.internal.local:8123"
Hope this helps!
- Comment on Traefik and external services 4 months ago:
I use the Traefik file provider for this.
doc.traefik.io/traefik/providers/file/
It picks up all my .yml configs in the watched folder which define the routers and services external to Docker.

I know plenty account SNI already, but thanks. You might want to study more yourself, since we’re being condescending.
- Comment on Cloudflare is bad. Youre right. 4 months ago:
So now your ISP sees all of your queries instead of CF. (Assuming the cloudflared option is using DoH)
I’ll trust Cloudflare over Comcast/AT&T/etc. any day of the week.
- Comment on "Hacked" Instagram 5 months ago:
Most likely it was a password stuffing attack. If they used the same password on multiple sites, there is a good chance one of those other sites was compromised and the attackers took the compromised credentials and tried them on other sites like Instagram. It could have been something more advanced like a stolen cookie, but usually the simplest explanation is most likely.
Always use a different password for each service, enable MFA where possible, and use a password vault like Bitwarden.
