Why? I’ve heard this for years at this point, but as someone who rarely uses snaps because they’re the only convenient option for software I’m using, I’m generally ambivalent about them.
People seem to hold really strong opinions about snap but I’ve never been able to get a straight answer, just a bunch of hand waving.
So that’s admittedly not a good look for canonical, but my read of that is that if you’re getting widely-known software from a developer who’s publishing it to snap themselves, and you’re cautious about your usage, snap is fine.
For example, essentially my only use of snap is to install certbot. If I follow the directions from certbot.eff.org precisely, then I’ll get certbot installed and no issues.
I certainly agree that (a) the system is ripe for abuse and (b) should be self-hostable to support Free software. Both of these could be fixed by canonical opening it up.
Threads will be implementing federation in the near future and many instances have been discussing whether they should be pre-emptively defederated to protect the fediverse. See below for our local discussion thread, which will remain active until this vote is complete....
Traditionally, retiring entails leaving the workforce permanently. However, experts found that the very definition of retirement is also changing between generations....
You’re right. I was angry when I posted this, and couldn’t help but read glee in the repeated ways they described generations of people who are on track to simply never be able to save up for a comfortable retirement.
It does feel hopeless, though. I love my job and earn a decent wage, but if I had the money to retire, I’d do it today. I definitely don’t want to work until I drop.
You mean the latest masterpiece of fantasy storytelling from Lucasfilms™ Brian Moriarty™? Why it’s an extraordinary adventure with an interface of magic, stunning high-resolution, 3D landscapes, sophisticated score and musical effects. Not to mention the detailed animation and special effects, elegant point ‘n’ click control of characters, objects, and magic spells.
Gotta wonder how many people are down voting because they think the title is moralizing, when it’s anything but that.
There’s nothing like going for a nice long walk around the world of The Witcher 3 and meeting some of the locals there. They say the nicest things. “Sod off, you misborn clod,” a guard will tell me. “Got so fucked up once, blood came out me ears,” a chap at the docks will announce. Or if I’m really lucky, “Go fuck your mums tits!” What a world to live in.
The thing is, I love this about the game. Being scolded by the ruddy-faced inhabitants of The Witcher 3 has long been one of my favourite things, ever since I first played it eight years ago.
Every line of code has been audited by all security researchers. The implementation is language agnostic and extremely slim (0 LOC). It runs all the JavaScript I want (none).
SSH key auth for terminal login, plus an nginx proxy and client cert auth on anything accessible by the outside world. I’ll expose any internal service I want because nobody is getting through the client cert auth.
About a year and a half ago I posted a script I made for deleting movie content in your library not being watched. Folks really seemed to like it, and I still get comments on that thread every so often. So I’ve updated it!...

Which do you prefer? A triple monitor setup? Or one single 32:9 ultrawide monitor?
I have a triple monitor setup right now, but am thinking of trying a single ultrawide monitor. What is your preference?

For example, I prefer to use a VPN instead of port forwarding. And I use SSH for anything I used to use an FTP for.
