Fair. Friend’s account got suspended yesterday btw, you never know when they start hating you, so this is your reminder to check your backups

How do you monitor the total bandwidth? Last I tried it was super convoluted.

Something like 10TB. I’m an incredibly heavy user and I’d have to quadruple all of my usage, including home, to hit it.

Yep, it’s one of the biggest things I miss when going from Mac to either Linux or Winbloats. Might confuse people who aren’t used to it, but I use it so much it feels very weird when the workspace is shared across all screens

Haven’t used Mint in many many years. I searched around - try this https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/extensions/view/111 (if on Cinnamon)

For MATE, I found this https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/compiz-configuration/24928

I think there might also be some native settings options like “remember window positions” but that might be hit-or-miss

On KDE, kwin Window Rules will allow you to force windows onto screens, and a ton of other stuff. It’s one of the best features on Plasma that I now miss on Windows

You can just force it forever, or do “apply initially” so it just starts in a particular configuration - size, position, screen, virtual desktop, etc.

chromium-browser --enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll

Works on anything Chromium, including Electron shitware like Discord

They’re not selfhosted, and are commercial. While they’re okay now they can rug pull at any moment, it’s nice to have alternatives ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It can also run directly on lower powered machines. GL.iNet routers are a good example, they’re based on OpenWrt and come with AdGuard Home support out of the box, so no need for a whole external computer to handle DNS stuff. Sure it’s limited by ram about how many lists you can have, but still. Pihole is much more “substantial”

How is that ghetto lol. Now, I’d understand if you were like me with a crusty ass laptop in the corner of my room 2500km away from me, running some Linux and 4 external hard drives, but Xeon and ghetto?

A friend of mine has something like 64% blocked. That’s what blocking telemetry does to ya! Every piece of tech, especially Samsung phones, Google TVs and various game clients phones home with such persistence that you’d think they’re DDoSing themselves.

At least personally to me it goes to show that it’s not out of the question
