So is it YouTube family or YouTube household?

Either way, probably need to setup site to site VPN and route YouTube traffic through a central location, if you can block geolocation.

Yeah, long term goal is a self reliant total internet experience. I figure at best, I’ll still have to rely on a handful of more trustworthy companies to do some things like search.

Already am, but it still pulls results from the companies I want to separate myself from. I’d rather see what it takes/how well it performs to have my own indexer.

Looks like for the hardware requirements for self hosting some of the open source options, I’ll be saving up quite a bit for SSDs.

Eh, I thought I was OK going into my career out of college only to find out I learned more 3 months on the job than I did in the classroom. About the only practical experience I got in college was in labs setting up environments. So don’t sweat not knowing. You’ll get direction in an entry level position, then you can work on your own stuff, or you can find a topic that interests you and work on it on the side like a video game or tool or website. My current side projects usually help me in my current career. So I picked up a skill that I never learned when I exited my first career (docker administration) and I feel like a goober for not learning in the past.

I know why i didn’t learn it though. One, two, skip a few, after burnout and changing careers, my skills look like they could come back in fashion for moving stuff back to on premise and I could be useful again (IT) especially for small clusters, networking, and specialized local application support, so at least I have a backup plan for when AI takes over my current line of work.

I guess my point is the job is kinda like a better one stop shop that pays you to learn the specifics whose bosses should get you the guidance at least with incentivized goals; money.

The other big thing for knowing I’m in Illinois is seeing gasoline and diesel prices significantly higher than in my state. It’s not just fossil fuels either, charging my EV in Illinois makes it cost more than fueling my wife’s SUV in my state and driving the same trip. The roads aren’t much better either for the higher taxes either.

Yeah, I think it’s more related to the inherent security settings in librewolf and the sandboxing flatpak does not meshing well, which is fine as that’s a great upside for it. It’s not a big deal to have a dedicated browser, but I’d rather be able to block most if not all the crap when I do need to use the webcam which is why I avoid Chromium browsers when possible.

I know that my preferred browser (librewolf) does not and doesn’t have a native build for OpenSuSE and often has problems with video conferencing in the flatpak. Its the only reason I’ve kept vanilla firefox installed.

OpenSuSE is German, I’m having to wonder if I need to prepare switching distros in case they have to remove Firefox from their repos. I’ll need to research the flatpak to see if it works with webcams for video conferencing.

Hopefully this moves people to view kernel level anti-cheat as malicious and as nefarious as other malware.

This used to be a thing iirc. Then too many advertisers were getting “don’t show results from this source” and Google nixed it.

Technically correct is the best correct :D

Just off the top of my head, they had hired a registered sex offender (sexual battery of a child) and didn’t warn any other employees about it. It didn’t come to light until he defaced another open source project’s wiki. The normal annoyances seem minor by comparison to that which are snap and (was) unity desktop, but unity hasn’t been a thing for a while.

That’s the best part, it can run Linux

cheap hardware

I thought that’s why you bought used lenovo thinkpads.

Mint or Pop

Yeah, if you really want a taste of Debian desktop, LMDE is probably where I’d start.

I have a feeling that the term “national divorce” is gong to become more common over the next year or so.
