What's your fear of editing config files? They're just text files, and manual edits certainly allow a degree of customization that you'll never find in a GUI interface. My own config is set up with domain name folders under /home/ to contain the many domains I run, that's something I've never seen handled by a GUI and yet it makes so much more sense for keeping files organized.

Did you really need a GUI for that? The web folders are under /var/www/ and you can browse to it from another computer by typing the IP into the address bar. As long as you're not using Chrome you might even be able to type the computer name into the address bar.
So Sony wants to punish ISPs for continuing to "allow" illegal things to happen? Hmm remind me again which company it is that has had so many data breaches that users have come to just expect it? Sounds to me like if they are allowed to pursue attacking internet providers then they themselves should start seeing lawsuits for continuing damages until such time as Sony is able to successfully recover all stolen personal data and other parties can no longer use it for profit.
If you're curious enough to get one, I've seen them on ebay as well. Might even be available on Amazon. I think they've been around for a couple years, I just got mine in April but still haven't had time to fire it up and play with it.
Hmm I'm seeing a sale price right now, might be based off my order history though. I found another that has a standard price of $10.39, but all the ones I looked at are now also including a shipping cost around $4.50 so that jacks the price up even more.
All these taxes and tarrifs and what-not are really hurting people's ability to get access to affordable items. I was looking at some solar panels right before the US added a tarrif to those items, so now I'll wait to see what happens.
The board costs about $10, I have one on hand. Besides VGA and PS/2 ports, it also has an audio-out jack and a slot for SD cards. And if you want to compare specs, the ESP32 blows this away. Sure $1 sounds impressive, until you realize just how little you can do with it.
[Edit] Looks like the price has come down under $10 for this board now, here's a link to get them from China.
So basically something like this only a whole lot LESS capable? Although if you specifically want to do RiscV coding then it does limit your options.
Hard to say for sure. They may have legitimately found something, but my experience with McAfee products has been abysmal. The last time I dealt with it, someone had the full paid version of their virus scanner which was up to date but wasn't finding anything. I ran the free version of AVG and found over 200 items (mostly trojans and other malware). Their research may be valid, but I certainly wouldn't trust any of their software to find even widely-known issues.

Now there's an oxymoron. Let me know when they can write a virus scanner that works.
Yeah but does that really compare to a single man destroying a $44 Billion dollar company?
OK yeah, I wasn't sure if it had a way to collect debs from other sources. I've been using it for years to locally cache the standard Debian repos so I don't need to re-download packages every time I update my various servers and VMs, but I haven't really tried using it for anything beyond that.
From my own experience it was more about being a solution in search of a problem. I see some comments about how the old init system was so horribly broken, and yet the reality was it worked perfectly fine for all but some very niche situations. The only advantage I have ever seen with systemd is that it's very good at multitasking the startup/shutdown processes, but that certainly wasn't the case when it first arrived. For example I had a raspberry pi that booted in 15 seconds, and when I loaded a new image with systemd it took close to two minutes to boot. And there were quite a lot of problems like that, which is why people were so aggravated when distro admins asked the community for their thoughts on switching to systemd and then changed the distros anyway. This also touches on the perception that the "community" accepted it and moved on -- no, systemd was pushed on the community despite numerous problems and critical feedback.
But we're here now, systemd has improved, and we can only hope that some day all the broken bits get fixed. Personally I'm still annoyed that it took me almost a week to get static IPs set up on all the NICs for a new firewall because despite the whole "predictable names" thing they still kept moving around depending on if I did a soft or hard reset. Configuring the cards under udev took less than a minute and worked consistently but someone decided it was time to break that I guess.
