For people like me who took that advice: pretty damn great actually, thanks for asking!

That's exactly the kind of shit abused people say to justify staying with their abusive partner. ("Oh it's not so bad" - she says with a black eye - "and he's really sweet normally")

Yes in the short term it can be painful to leave an abusive person you've come to depend upon, but in the long term it's always the better solution.

When people tell you to use Linux, they're not telling you that to solve your immediate problem (e.g. your "show desktop" icon has been replaced with a different icon), but they are telling you to get out of your abusive relationship with Microsoft, because that is the real problem: Microsoft does not respect you, the end-user of their product, and this kind of abusive shit will keep happening for as long as you keep using Windows.

No it isn't.

It's more like saying: if that guy you hang out with keeps pushing you into the water and you almost drown every time, perhaps you should stop hanging out with that guy.

Of course, that's not what people who are in an abusive relationship typically want to hear.

It was a custom license more permissive than the BSD license.

It's still part of the official OpenSSH license, see the first section here: https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/usr.bin/ssh/LICENCE?rev=HEAD

Tatu was also a bit of a d*ck about the thing. There were some GPL violations when he made the licensing more restrictive, and at one point he accused the OpenSSH project of violating his trademark, even though his original license permitted the use of the ssh name.

It was a company almost from the start. In the mid 90s Tatu Ylonen created ssh v1 and released it as freeware, then shortly afterwards apparently he regretted it and created ssh v2, made it proprietary and commercialized it with his company.

In the late 90s some OpenBSD guys then forked the unencumbered ssh v1 source to create OpenSSH and implemented ssh v2 with it and their ssh version eventually gained traction and became dominant.

Otherwise a second PiHole set as the secondary DNS in DHCP would keep things online.

No, that just creates time outs and delays when either of them is offline.

The proper way is to have a standby pihole that takes over the IP address of the main pihole when it goes down. It's quite easy to achieve this with keepalived.

It was introduced by "Active Desktop", which came with IE4. So if you installed IE4, you also got this on Windows 95.

It’s hardly a useful comparison to compare the CPU on its own against a Video Card + CPU.

It is a useful comparison if the latter combination is the same price

24 vs. 16 (available) PCIe lanes that’s not half

24x PCIe 5.0 vs 16x PCIe 4.0

So 8 lanes less and each lane has half the bandwith = less than half the PCIe bandwidth.
