Interestingly, the music I prefer to listen to is more rocky - Punk/Grunge/Ska/Folk/Dub.

I acquired my love of psytrance in the early noughties when I used to do henna art at festivals in the UK. We got friendly with a couple who ran a psytrance CD stall, and were very often pitched right next door, so I spent many a weekend doing henna art with their music blasting out of their PA as a backing track. One CD that was popular at the time was Virtual Memory by Alchemy, but I seldom knew who I was listening to - it never seemed to matter. Worked well for getting into “the zone” though, and it’s not distracting because I don’t find myself trying to listen to the (usually non-existent) lyrics.

Psytrance or Dubstep. Something without much (or any) lyrics but with a strong bassline, maybe a bit glitchy.

Not used graylog, but if that’s what it’s for, it should be a lot better than manually checking logs.

Interested to know if this is for international travel, or just within your country’s borders? I would be concerned with this going through airport security, whether in carry-on or checked luggage - x-rays can damage electronics, and the potentially suspicious appearance of electronics to the non-technical could cause problems.

Monitor your logs with a network monitoring tool like Nagios, Icinga, etc. You can set filters for alerts you are genuinely interested in, and email the alerts to your ticketing system or sysads.

No AI slop, no slack, no jira… just want scritches and treats. A genuine, honest interaction.

Looks like there’s gonna be a lot of devs who quit to be goatherds or whatever low-tech, tranquil, agrarian gig they can pull off.

Everyone who uses O365 is pushed to use the web versions by the O365 ecosystem. When you click on Word/Excel/Outlook/whatever from your menu, it opens the web version; to use the locally installed app, you have to go to File/Open in Desktop or similar. The Open and Save dialogs default to using OneDrive - saving to local filesystem requires extra steps. The locally installed ones are becoming increasingly hard to use, by design, and the new features seem to be going into the web versions first and the local versions “eventually”. For example, the new excel “matrix” functions did not work in local excel the last time I tried to use them, though they might now, but there were a few features (special formatting I think) that only worked on the local version. Templates for word do not work on the web version.

Interestingly, the web 365 apps seem to work on Linux Mint, but I’ve not used them extensively, or on another distro. I did a migration from Win10 to LM last autumn, and I was genuinely shocked to find that web Outlook and OneDrive work on Firefox on LM. Confirmed that web Excel and Word worked enough to allow display and editing of documents - not an extensive test, but definitely worth a look. Obviously, there are still differences between the web and desktop versions, but it might even be possible to run them under Wine, but I have not tried that, and woudn’t expect it to go too well tbh.

Can confirm. I used Linux and Unix almost exclusively for about 20 years, and when I more recently had to use Windoze again for work, this is pretty much what happened.

Could be QOS or packet shaping going on at your ISP, or just throttling or congestion. Speed tests only really test for typical traffic patterns, so will give you a warped view: it certainly disagrees with your observed measurements. There are lots of factors that can affect how quickly traffic passes between two hosts on the internet, but domestic broadband is generally the worst of all worlds - you usually share bandwidth with other subscribers, and although the throughput can be quite good, the latency and error rate can be quite bad, and you can get fragmentation as frame sizes can differ between network segments, causing buffering especially when congestion is occurring. Your ISP might also have deprioritised your type of traffic, or they might be dropping packets, which causes retries, and thus slows your connection down.

Came here to say exactly this. Played it for years and it keeps getting better and better. It’s based on a game called Pixel Dungeon, which the original developer open sourced when they got bored with it. There are several other forks of PD, and I’ve also played most of them too, and SPD is definitely the best, and possibly the only one still in development.

They are all terrible. Billionaires are parasites, one and all. It’s not wealth envy - it’s just wanting a FAIR share. Billions is never a fair share.
