@delirious_owl @gwilikers I've been trying to setup a store and forward server with postfix and not having a lot of luck.

@IceFoxX @merthyr1831 I just keep a handful of color coded thumb drives. I know the red one for example is Ubuntu-Mate 24.04, the black one Win10, the yellow, Gparted Live disk, the Green Boot-Repair, etc.

Actually, I have my public facing servers configured to listen to 443 as well. Why? Because many corporate and public space wifi spots like libraries, will block 22, but allow 443 for https, so on my shell servers, I also listen to 443.

@Kalcifer You worded your title, "What's a good store to buy Linux, OR.... so this suggests you're looking to buy Linux OR in general open source related merch. I just addressed the first portion, you might be able to buy related merch.

@NOOBMASTER @Artemis_Mystique So google can make money.

I have several machines with Nvidia GPUs, they are all working fine, one thing I like about Intel internal graphics that you can't do with Nvidia is to use pass
through of virtual GPU's to get OS's in kvm-qemu virtual machines, giving the ability to play Windows video games in a virtual machine with usable performance.

From what I've read 1e100.net belongs to Google, so yea it's a virus.

You BUY MacOS or WhenBlows, but Linux is generally free to download. You can buy support from some vendors such as Ubuntu, Redhat, Mandriva, and Manjaro, but in all cases I am aware of, Linux itself is free.

@sxan @beta_tester EXACTLY, I am glad SOMEBODY gets it.

What it means is that you're getting the libs the program uses with the program instead of using the system libs, this defeats the whole point of shared memory and wastes RAM, it is inefficient but saves them from having to compile for each distro, still, the system loader has to resolve and load these making loading slower, if they had to include the libs, a better way to do it is to simply compile the binary as a static binary with all the libs compiled in, at least that way it saves the loader overhead.

They sure are huge on my system and spread their shit over half the file systems. Firefux is a complete disaster now that it is flatpack.

Nextcloud yes, Google, might as well ask for a direct data link the the NSA data warehouse in Utah.
