I've always been happiest with xfce4-terminal, though I'm using Konsole currently until XFCE fully supports Wayland.

Way back when, I was more than happy with rxvt.

Copilot can't even suggest a single Ansible or Terraform task without suggesting invalid/unsupported options. I can't imagine how bad it is at doing anything actually complex with an actual programming language.

I miss Soylent as well. I think the peak was the bottled version right before they switched to the "sqround" bottles.

XFS on my server VMs and my laptops and desktops.

ZFS on my file server. I'd use it on my laptops and desktops too (and have done when I was using Xubuntu) but I've switched toFedora which doesn't come with a way to easily install with ZFS and I don't feel like jumping through hoops to get it done. And I can't stand btrfs. I don't know what it is about it, but I just don't like it.

Yeah pretty much. I mean I do the best I can (and I do have resources to look to for help).

I'm an old fogey who grew up reading physical books and newspapers but I absolutely need dark mode on backlit displays. I despise light mode.

Exactly, the blame here is entirely on Crowdstrike. they could just as easily have made similar mistake in an update for the Linux agent that would crash the system and bring down half the planet.

I will say, the problem MIGHT have been easier to fix or work around on the Linux systems.

Not only is "Googling" one of my most important job skills, now that I'm doing professional services, my entire job basically consist of "Learn product ${FOO} faster than the customer's employees can." Which of course primarily consists of knowing what to search for, how to find it, and how to interpret and use what I find.

But would it have it have remained left alone long enough to get to the point where the federation and prime directive protected it...

Once again you seem to be calling for not bothering with any security effort of there's even a remote chance of some other vulnerability happening.

The whole point of security is that it's always a multi-layered thing. Nobody sane is pretending that encrypting web traffic with HTTPS is a panacea that's going to solve all your data security needs. But it is sure as hell a million times better than having all of your data transmitted in the clear, with absolutely no assurance that you're are talking to the system you think you're talking to, or that the data hasn't been tampered with in transit.

And don't pretend https is a huge burden. It's dead simple to get SSL/TLS certs, and the additional load of encrypting and decrypting the traffic is barely even a rounding error on modern CPUs.

You know how I know you don't know anything about security or computing?

I've been using FolderSync (Pro in my case) for many years to sync files (automatically and/or on-demand) from my phone to my Linux server.
