I live and work in both worlds, and neither of your examples are true.

Powershell/cmd line/wmi is pretty deep tooling at this point. Windows being object instead of text based is a different thought process, but it is deeply powerful. Simple one line powershell scripts can do a lot.

Ssh is also a built in feature now, since Windows 10. You can just enable it, but there are also tons of clients that aren't mobaxterm like putty/kitty/royal ts/etc. Its also not the primary text interface to work interactively with other windows machines, so it doesn't have the same importance in the windows world.

I much prefer linux in general, but it's best to criticize microsoft for its actual faults, not imaginary ones.

Hilariously, fax machines are as archaic as the pony express. They were invented around 1850.

Abraham Lincoln could have literally sent a japanese samurai a fax.

Its something of a mystery game. You wake up in an unfamiliar place and have a nebulous goal.

Letting the clues of the story build is a big part of the experience.

Tailscale has an technical article on this if you are starting from scratch.

If you can't install tailscale on the pi-hole directly, you can also use a subnet router and a /32 with just that address to expose it to tailscale.

Its not incredibly likely you can import social media from one network to another.

It has never been supported by any social media network, and bluesky's architecture is such that the only people that can host it are giant orgs like mega corps, who are profit driven and who want lockin, not portability.

You're hoping it works out, but without an example of viability, it's just conjecture that this is a real or even valuable feature.

Looks like we talking about different things. You just want a list of all your comments? To what end? Note taking? Nostalgia?

I'm talking about a social media account without a social media network. All you can do is format shift the data to have a record. You cant use it for what it was designed for in the bluesky framework.

Is it? Data without an application that can use it is not useful, almost by definition.

You suddenly have a movage problem.

Maybe. An rss reader is a very basic service with an easy way to rebuild, but killing google reader still led in part to the death of rss as a viable platform. Its barely in use anymore as a protocol, even though there are plenty of options to run now. Bluesky is a wildly more difficult and expensive tool to reanimate and compete with than rss, so it might be even deader if they ever give up.

Having data in a dead format isn't valuable. It's like having 100 laserdiscs and no player. They don't do anything but look shiny. That has some value, but it doesn't do what it is supposed to.

Dont sell anything, yet. I'm sure they will a start selling things sooner or later, seeing as it's not a charity, and its platform is expensive to run.

That 6% is the gross of sales, not ~~revenues~~ profit as well. It can work out to a company's entire profit margin. Its an incredibly serious fine you dont want trained on you at any point.

QNAP has had plenty of embarrassing bugs and zero days. They have tried to shift to a more security focused architecture, and are catching the other side of that sword right now.

QNAP's firmware push was intended, in part, to cover recent security vulnerabilities in their devices. QNAP devices are a rich and frequent target of criminal hackers. A severe vulnerability from February 2023 allowed for remote SQL injections and potential administrative control of a device, affecting nearly 30,000 devices seen in network scans. It was a follow-on from attacks by DeadBolt, a ransomware gang that infected thousands of QNAP devices and cornered QNAP into automatically pushing emergency updates, even to customers with automatic updates turned off.

Security researchers at WatchTowr said they found 15 vulnerabilities in QNAP's operating systems and cloud services and informed the company of them. After QNAP failed to patch some of those vulnerabilities far beyond the typical 90-day window (and then some), WatchTowr went public with its findings, dubbed "QNAPping at the Wheel."

IPO is public sale on the stock msrket. Private sales are always available.

Bluesky is not truly federated, but is designed for large orgs to be able to host different parts of it. Twitter could start offering its own implementation if they wanted.
