“File Browser” or “Sharry” allow you to make public links to share files with others BUT you need to run them on a server that is accessible to both parties.
I am all for the frivolous, childish, and irresponsible use of the internet, but that community just seems like a shit magnet. The absolute best case scenario is that nothing happens, anything else will be worse, like Lemmy.ca becoming the hub for b-list celebrity hate-clubs.
I’ve been using Linux as a desktop and server since 2015, before that I was Windows only from 1995. Regedit scares me.

In the past 5 years stability has improved significantly, like I haven’t had a crash in the past year of casual use. ymmv but I would recommend it to new users at this point.
Spread the chaos! It’s the only way that people will learn!
I read a great post where a guy bit-squatted (bought a domain that was 1 flipped bit away) Google and managed to replace the Google logo on google.com for millions of people. He did the same for facebook and ended up getting thousands of post requests with user data which normally would have failed to resolve or just timed out.
There is still plenty of unexpected fun to be had with domains.
I love mc for its sftp/ssh capabilities. It makes it so much easier to do remote admin/support.

Take notes
It’s easy to forget the steps you took to do something on your computer, especially several months later when you’re trying to upgrade. Sometimes when you try several different ways of solving a problem, it’s easy to forget which method was successful the next day!
It’s a very good idea to take notes about the software you’ve installed and configuration changes you’ve made. When editing configuration files, it’s also a very good idea to include comments in the file explaining the reason for the changes and the date they were made.
Taking good notes will save your as so many times. Good notes are as important as good backups.

Chaotic good, right there.
W7 was the last version where I felt like a normal user could have full control. I could do updates once a week without having to worry about setting safe hours. Settings weren’t duplicated and scattered across multiple locations and UI styles. As far as I remember there were very few un-uninstallable features, it was the OS and what ever the user wanted. No McAffee demo, Candy Crush, OneDrive, XBox, Spotify, etc.
This so hard, we still have XP machines running scada software and seeing the bubbly-blue IU makes it look like a 90’s educational game.
I still have a burned in distrust for everything after W2k. Why does the look have to change at all? Most user’s can’t find the browser if someone moves the icon let alone change the colour scheme, shape of the start menu and location of settings.
I just repaired a 2004ish crt and had forgotten that noise. Also, holy crap I also forgot about the high voltage >_<
Animated series was 10/10, Adam West was a 9.5, Michael Keaton was a 9. The latest iteration tries to be so gritty and serious that it’s more of a parody than Adam West.
Every day we stray further from god. I wonder if it could be used to make the worlds worst VNC server…
I recently setup Guacamole (Web based VNC/RDP/SSH) with totp and was able to close external SSH access. Now everything I run can sit behind a single reverse proxy, no extra ports.
I found WatchYourLan hosed my PiHole logs. Somehow the WYL instance got its hostname associated with ~10 mac addresses on my lan so more than half of my traffic comes from “watchyourlan.local”. FML
I’m with you. Phones are toys, a PC with disk encryption and well chosen software it way more trustworthy.
