Aegis looks great - I’ll give this a shot. Thanks for the recommendation!

This looks pretty good. Will look into this option for sure. Thanks for the suggestion!

I forgot about Codeberg - I’ll look into that and Gitlab as alternatives. Thanks for the suggestions.

The best part is it works with Android as well. Whenever I turn my computer on, all my photos on my phone sync to my computer to a folder that gets regularly backed up (using Vorta which is an excellent and easy to use open source backup program for Windows, Linux, and Mac)

Where did you buy it? Looking for something similar for myself.

Quite interesting. Thank you for the information!

Sure, people should not use their work computer for personal use.

However, I would say the majority of people absolutely do use it for occasional personal use. Checking your personal email at work? Googling driving directions to the dentist? Using the pdf editor to fill out a form? Searching for a flight during your lunch break? I would say everyone I see at work does this, and I would bet that when they take their laptop home they would not hesitate to boot it up for personal use. And the people working remotely I would wager use it even more.

I’m not saying it’s right, but I do think using a completely separate SSD and OS is way more responsible from a security perspective.

From a technical perspective I’m curious - how would they know a drive has been added without physically inspecting the laptop?

Thanks for the information. And good point - I will check to see if there’s any logs in the BIOS. Is there any way to know if boot logs are being sent? Is that a BIOS setting, or something that would be configured in Windows?

• Samba (for file sharing)
• OpenSSH Server
• Synching (to sync files between devices)
• Vorta (for automatic backups)
• ethtool (for wake on LAN)
• KDE Connect

Opera has had this functionality for 10+ years on their mobile browser, and I would argue that it has always been their best feature by far as it has always worked beautifully. I just don’t understand how no other browser has implemented this feature.

Check out your local library as well. Mine lets you print 2 pages for free each time you go in, and it’s super cheap to print more.

The feature I absolutely love on Opera mobile is it will dynamicly wrap text and adjust the page layout to a single column when you zoom in/out. So for pages with small text, you can zoom in to see enlarged text and just scroll down to read - where on all other browsers you have to scroll horizontally back and forth to read the enlarged text.

Opera has been doing this brilliantly for at least 10 years, and I have yet to see this on any other mobile browsers I’ve tried.

That’s an interesting idea. I will give that a shot next time!

I have to keep a Windows install around for the sole purpose of pushing firmware updates to my Headrush pedal board. The installer will run on Linux with Wine, but it cannot detect the pedalboard through the USB connection.

I found an old TV on Craigslist for $10 for my Genesis.

Uhh Yeah Dude They’ve been doing the podcast since 2006, and just surpassed their 1000th episode. Listener supposed and ad free. Just two guys trying to figure it all out.
