What’s this drama now? The “anti-piracy” person sounds like a troll. Especially if they’re shit posting like this on a piracy-focused community. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Back then emails were limited to 2MB. Nowadays an average Office document is that size and email size limits have grown 10-100x.

Ah, I was indeed using an older PWA release! Wow, thanks for implementing that!!!

Ditto!

Amazing work! Thanks so much for working on this project. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

this might help with secureboot. By the way, Googling your problem concisely (e.g. ventoy secureboot acer laptop) can help find solutions, or at least give you ideas to try before asking here.

here you go

Love the gentleman XDAs. I use them myself.

I bet legally, the establishment owners aren’t required to give “service charges” to their staff the same way they are required to give 100% of the tips…

This is some shady shit, IMO.

Disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer (so I don’t know WTF I am talking about), so if someone here that knows the law could comment on “service charges” vs. “tips” in this context, I would love to know.

It’s LA, so I assume there are plenty of douchy “haute cuisine” wannabe places that charge $50 for a handful of steamed rice served in a styrofoam coffee cup under the name “Riz Derelicte” or some stupid shit like that.

Thanks, I was looking for a good AdBlock test, but lost it in my bookmarks. Will try the D3 on my iPhone.

AFAIK Firefox on iOS/iPadOS doesn’t support extensions. Or were you referring to macOS (desktop/laptop)?

krnl386, 8 months ago

Confirmed! That’s impressive…

Devs aren’t the brightest when it comes to sharing their code. There was a open source router firmware dev that for some ungodly reason, distributed the binaries to his router firmware builds through OneDrive. Why, I still wonder to this day… especially since his source code was on Github. At least use releases, if you’re that lazy? Still far from ideal, but at least it’s marginally better and more convenient that %#€$& OneDrive. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Ditto here. On the other hand their built-in adblock seems airtight. I’d like to see how it fares against Google’s/Youtube’s anti-adblock measures.

I’m in Canada and haven’t been hit with those yet… either that or my adblocks are working really well. 😉

What does this have to do with the dark web?

krnl386, 8 months ago

No worries!

krnl386, 8 months ago

Yup, I’m a proud subscriber of that community. Not sure that it has to do with this browser thread though.

What’s the last one from the top row? The Pirate Bay? :)

krnl386, 8 months ago

Damn, straight up encouraging piracy and discouraging key resellers? Wow… 🤯

krnl386, 8 months ago

Heh, good point. Also piracy = free advertising of their game and brand.

I was hoping they are OK with piracy also given the game genre… basically f*ck the system/anarchy, no?

Fancy-ass front-end to their OpenAI API? Meh…

If you want to understand Linux server “guts” well, I suggest a book like “Linux Network Servers” by Craig Hunt. Unfortunately, it’s pretty dated now, but it does an amazing job explaining the basics and internals that most modern books, IMHO, just gloss over in the best-case scenario. The coolest part about this book is that you can follow it like a how-to and set up everything in it in your home lab. You’ll learn basic networking, how to manage your network, how to monitor it, and how to set up low-level services like DHCP, DNS, etc. This knowledge could help you jump-start a network admin/engineer career. The book also covers things like Apache web server, and basic web scripting (trust me, understanding how CGI scripts work will help you as a DevOps engineer!). I think it’s good reading overall. It will give you a solid foundation to build on.

My biggest beef with study guides targeted to specific certs is that they only teach you how to pass the cert test, basically. Very rarely do they actually teach you WTF if going on, and to be a decent professional, I think it’s critical to understand how things work. I’ve seen so many RHCE/RHCA people who get completely lost with basic tasks like changing firewall rules or network adapter configs on an Ubuntu, Debian (or anything other than Fedora/RedHat/CentOS/Alma/Rocky/Oracle Linux Server), because they literally only memorized/practiced how to do these things on a RedHat box and are incapable of extending their knowledge to any other OS. There’s zero understanding of underlying principles. Don’t be these people!

OK, I’m done ranting now. Good luck with your studies. Oh, and if you want a copy of the book, shoot me a DM.

krnl386, 8 months ago

I think you got the right idea: certs are 70-90% marketing, and if you’re lucky, 10-30% actual knowledge and training. :)

krnl386, 8 months ago

Good point. I personally found VMware training to be a nice “cherry on top” of my existing VM/hypervisor knowledge back in the early 2000’s. Having said this, my colleagues who had zero VM experience/exposure were definitely lost… cert training is by no means exhaustive nor is it comprehensive.
