Indeed they are, but every single site wants my email and birthday before I can view content now. I don't knock them for trying to make money from ads but I don't need them selling my email address on the side too.

Maybe not that much more complicated, but it does give a less experienced user a lot more opportunities to make a mistake that could result in data loss or just a computer that suddenly decides not to boot Linux anymore since a Windows update broke grub.

The most important thing to do is backup your data to an external drive. Unless you are planning on dual booting (much more complicated) you will be wiping out the entire drive that has windows on it when you install Linux.

This guide goes through the whole installation process.

My conspiracy theory is that hes sitting on a mountain of Hillbilly Elegy DVDs and this is his plan to finally sell them all.

But yeah, he believes in whatever is making him money at any given point because hes simply 10 pounds of slime in a 5 pound sack.

You're absolutely right. Everyone will be very worried and talk about the importance of security in the enterprise and yada yada yada until a cool new AI spreadsheet software comes out and everybody forgets to even check if their firewall is turned on.

But with that being said, if you have been looking for a good time to ask for cybersecuity funding at your org, see if you can't lock down 5 years worth of budget while everyone is aware of the risk to their businesses.

I'm willing to invest in a truckload of A&W if that's what it takes.

Id say its more like a brother that I know could be doing better for himself but is instead repeatedly screwing up.

Can, yes.

Should, maybe.

Enjoy doing, unlikely.

And for sure your home isp has all the email ports blocked upstream.

With all that being said, to call SMTP dead is wildly insane. I do figure it will die someday though. Probably around the same time of universal IPV6 adoption during the year of the linux desktop.

Its been taken over by a new artist and its a lot better now in my opinion.

Octoprint is what I use. Slicing is probably the thing it woukd be least good at but all the rest is good. And theres an api to write plugins for if youre into that sort of thing.
