Microsoft Teams is dog shit in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

I find it's a bit of a toss-up. Teams does manage to fix/improve on many things that Skype did, but it also screws up in new and infuriating ways.

MS's modus operandi seems to be "bundle and make just good enough that corps will stay in our ecosphere and not going to buy into a competing product"

Maybe. Or they'll adopt it and take credit for it when it actually rolls out.

How do you feel about the outcome of the US election? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I think a lot of the parallels in Canada is that the failure here is with the NDP, not the Liberals or Conservatives. Overall, those two parties haven't changed, but at some point - post Layton - the NDP apparently decided to go down that same identity politics road, while similarly abandoning the general working class. Maybe they felt they just weren't getting enough votes with the latter and there were enough who felt strongly about such social issues, but FFS they could have at least tried harder to support BOTH.

I'm honestly starting to wonder if the reason they've continued to support the Liberals is not so much a fear of z Conservative government, but rather if there's some dirt the Liberals have on NDP leadership to keep them on a leash. Nothing else really explains why they've continued down this path of political suicide.

I actually just use the cold even in my own bathroom. A bit of frosty water cools the O-Ring after a meal with a biiiiit too much hot sauce, or when that slight lactose-intolerance flares up.

But the heated seat on a good quality bidet... that's amazing

M&M's, Reese's, skittles

All in the same bowl

You can both feel sorry for somebody who got mugged and note that taking a shortcut through that dark alley with a wallet full of cash was a bad idea with a foreseeable outcome

Harris distances herself from Biden's 'garbage' comment: 'I strongly disagree' with criticizing people based on their vote in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I agree, but following with the "garbage" comment also feeds into the Republicans sense of somehow being both the greatest and the victims.

authenticated remote filesystem access for home/SOHO use? (lemmy.ca)
 

(sorry in advance for the long post)

What I'm looking for:

Basically, without a lot of work to setup and maintain a Domain/Kerberos server, what's the best way to provide consistent logins and remote folder/share (from a server) access across various Linux desktops

I've configured domain controllers using Samba. I've also configured Linux systems as domain-joined hosts. Between the two I tend to find that keeping talking - especially for systems that are only on infrequently - can be a bit troublesome. Updates sometimes break the Samba server, tokens expire, etc etc

I've also used NFS of various versions, but found v4 with the Kerberos implementation a bit finicky (for similar reasons to the SMB based implementation). NFSv3 of course is fairly fast and efficient, but lacks the user-level authentication and relies on IP's for access-control.

Now it's been awhile since I've given a shot at this except for some NFS shares between VMs and SSHFS for desktops, it would be nice to have a consistent but easily maintainable way to provided common shares for larger files (videos, albums, 3d models, and projects etc) without having to constantly troubleshoot. Maybe the domain/NFS route had gotten easier but it still seems to be fairly manual at times.

self-hosted/FOSS remote-access support gateway (lemmy.ca)
 

One of the problems with having switched over a number of relatives to Linux is that I'm "the guy" when they have issues, and I can't always get over to help them in a timely manner. A lot of the time most stuff is working just fine and it's just a matter of popping into the desktop and fixing a bad link or a naughty plugin that's slipped into Chrome etc, but it DOES require being able to see what they see.

Windows has a system where you can "request assistance" and then provide a code for access at which point it shares your desktop. There are similar systems where one can get a link in email and click it for support.

I'd like to find a system that I can host myself to allow users to queue up for support at which point I can pop into their system, without needing to open ports on their routers or using something hackish like forwarding a VNC port to an SSH server etc

who would support a nuclear power plant near their town/city (lemmy.ca)
 

I'm not sure if we're allowed to ask questions on this sub. It seems mostly news articles but I figured I'd give it a go.

So Bruce Power in Ontario is planning to build the world's biggest nuclear plant in the world (by expanding on an existing plant).

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/ontario-new-nuclear-build-1.6897701

BC is more well known for hydroelectric, but that particular source hasn't really been greatly expanded on in decades and site-C is pretty controversial.

This got be thinking:

How do we in BC feel about nuclear power? Would you support one near where you live? Why or why not, and what other power options would you prefer?

Kevin Mitnick has died at age 59 (www.securityweek.com)
 

Kevin Mitnick - the world's first famous "hacker" - has died at age 59 after succumbing to pancreatic cancer.

Mitnick gained fame for his hacking skills and eventual arrest on hacking and wire fraud charges. After his release from prison, he went on to release various books and speak at conferences on the topic of cyber security/hacking. He is the founder of "Mitnick Security Consulting" which provides cyber consulting and penetration testing services.

Kevin's influence on the world of cyber security is undeniable, as is his almost legendary reputation in the field.
