Wait, you open attachments from spam?

Who knew they did more than release an annual puzzle?

Same here, I used to have this image in my head of a eccentric entrepreneur pushing technology to the max with 'fuck you money'.

Sure he said some crazy shit sometimes, but it kind of felt like he didn't have much of a filter.

Around the time of the Thai cave thing this started to change, but I still gave him the benefit of the doubt until that point.

After that, things just went down hill...

Same here, similar age.

When i got diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago, ny psychologist mentioned that I'm probably on the spectrum as well, but that getting an official diagnosis wouldn't really help anything and she wasn't sure I would even get one.

But having the realisation really opened my eyes though, I now understand better why certain situations always made me irritable and made me have much more peace with my own limitations.

I always knew I was a bit 'off', and knowing I'm on the spectrum kind of felt like the last pieces of the puzzle fell in place.

Security through obscurity would be having a system connected to a network, but relying on a secret / unknown protocol to secure it.

Air-gapping a system is a real and very useful security method. That being said, it's not enough by itself.

If you're interested, have a look at past examples, like the recent work on breaking Tetra communication standard and Stuxnet.

In Manjaro you just run this command, there's a GU package manager as well, but I've never used it. Pamac takes care of downloading / building any required dependencies and the AUR repo includes any required patches for the application run well on Arch / Manjaro.

pamac build

I haven't used Arch in years, but I believe it was something similar.

The whole system is pretty similar to, (but more refined than) FreeBSDs Ports tree.

I went from Windows XP -> FreeBSD -> Debian -> several Ubuntu flavors -> MacOS -> Manjaro on my desktop. I ended up switching to MacOs after countless upgrade and graphics card issues in the early 2010s but switched back to Linux again after getting tired of Apples more and more restrictive environment.

For servers I've switched around between FreeBSD, Debian and Ubuntu at home and various Redhat based distros at work.

Right now I use Ubuntu because it just works for my Kubernetes home cluster and Redhat at work because its well supported for commercial software.

For me, AURs main advantage is the huge library of software available. No mess resolving dependencies like when manually building from source and no issues with 3rd party repos breaking each others dependencies like in PPA
