Where are all the idiots who swear that "coMpaNIes mUSt MaXimIZe proFiTs bY lAw" now?

Wow this is so hard on point!

Absolutely and has been the case for years...

Have no fear, the Penguin is friendly

Feeding some other crappy AI

It's worst than that (as bad as this is)...

Today getting some data on a user is bad as smart hackers can put together the context ... However any guessing the hacker has to do may alert the user before the hacked data can successfully be exploited

Now, a hacker would know exactly where each password goes and worse, they'd could learn the entire workflow of internal systems to successfully imitate a trained user...

This means the hacker could use the stolen bank data and legitimately issue credit cards to anyone they want (for example)

It's no longer "we'll expose some data", now it's "we can use this data to infiltrate your systems and wreak havoc in whatever way we want"

How could the db be all plaintext unencrypted?!? I mean this is amateur hour at display here

Hmmm I never seem to remember the names of the... Ehmm... Artists

Glad I could help.

Installing Emby/Jellyfin is dead easy.. you won't have trouble. Literally install, then run the web interface and configure from there

Absolutely!

In 2020 I built a gaming PC and at the time decided to dual boot because I wasn't going to spend all this money and miss out on some games. However, not 6 months later I dissolved the dual boot config because my son and I never found a game we cared to try that was Windows only.

Proton is a translation layer that helps run Windows games in Linux. It works seamlessly with Steam so you don't have to worry about it at all... so far, ZERO problems. Of course, YMMV depending on the games you are interested in; however, you can check in advance in ProtonDB, this site will tell you if the game you want to play can be played well on Linux (assuming the game is not ported already).

I also went with a derivative Linux distro that is geared toward gaming so it comes with almost everything you'd need. It's called GarudaLinux I liked it so much it is now my daily driver for work as well (even though this is one of those "risky" Linux distro since it is a rolling release, meaning you are on the edge of tech available, and I update it weekly... other than some small issues here and there, it's been going strong for 4 years)

If you have a movie collection, you'd have no problem either unless they are DMR protected somehow... if so, there are ways to watch them but it would depend on what you downloaded... However, if these fishes we are talking about came from the high seas, you'd have no problem. There are some discrepancies regarding hardware support for certain codecs but it all boils down to efficiency, not whether you can play them or not.

I have a VAST collection (3500+ movies, 400 TV shows) in a Linux server that I access throughout my house with many devices (PCs, phones, FireTV sticks, Raspberry Pi, etc) by using an Emby server... Emby is free to use but you get to pay for some features... if you want the fully free and open source version you can go with Jellyfin... I only went with Emby because 6 years ago (maybe more?) when I started, Jellyfin was a bit behind... now they have caught up but I already bought Emby so I keep using it.

Since the invention of traffic lights people could just ignore them.... Now we know some AI "feature" will ignore them.

See the difference?

If you have degoogled, even if partially, I doubt you'd find moving to Linux hard

Probably the hardest part would be to chose a distro... Stick with the main ones (Debian, Fedora or Arch) to start (you can chose one of their derivatives but pick a famous one so you can have easier time finding documentation)

And for such small reward!

Oh yes, I can ask about a brown bag once saw and don't remember... Or maybe I forgot if that document I created was in my "Documents" folder or not .... Wow, the future is now
