Awesome! I now know the next show we’ll watch when we finally coordinate to finish Breaking Bad off my Jellyfin instance :)

(unrelated to piracy, though I agree with the main point of the post) I loved Le Bureau des Légendes! Are these shows well-subtitled/dubbed? That’s what prevents me from sharing them with my English-speaking friends usually, the language barrier is too great and it’s not as usual to watch a subtitled French show than a kdrama f.e

The “immutable” type of distros could be worth a shot. They don’t let you break the system and if anything does break, you can undo it with a reboot, so they tend to be pretty stable. My family runs a few flavors of Universal Blue, which are based on Fedora and hasn’t broken for them, but I don’t know the exact hardware. I’ve been running NixOS (also immutable) on a Framework 16 since the laptop came out, I can’t count a single hardware issue I encountered. However, NixOS does come with a steep learning curve, so it’s hard to recommend, and it also has trouble running software that hasn’t been already packaged for it.

I realize I never replied, but thank you! I got into contact with them and am now in the final stages of getting it all set up to start in a couple months. They seem awesome and I am excited to work with them!

So tired of hearing about this platform that, afaiu, is barely even federated and not really decentralized. Why the hype when fedi exists?

Is the AI image from The Register?

My parents run a business, and besides having me install it and do the initial setup, they both use Linux fine and have adjusted great from their previous machines. I moved them to it mainly because of performance and being tired of fixing printers on Windows. LibreOffice runs, Firefox runs, a video editor works, and OBS runs, so it’s enough for their use. They’re both on Wayland, one on EndeavourOS (w/ a graphical app store set up ofc) and the other on Fedora Kinoite, w/ nouveau drivers and no issues so far!

That’s awesome! Maybe I’ll get a flashcart and play through it.

Wow yeah, that’s way more than what I have haha. So I guess I need to look into DNS…

I tried setting this up, and I can connect to my honeserver, but I’ve no idea how to access its LAN services. How does it work?

My cybersecurity course uses Linux… in a VM. We boot into Windows 10, then start Kali in VMware and do everything inside of it. I still don’t know why, I just bring my own laptop with NixOS and add whichever package we are using to my shell.nix for that course.

I did contact Wube, they said they can’t take interns sadly :') Would be awesome to work with them.

I was going to read this post, but I saw an AI image.

but why?

Yeah, that’s a possibility. I did fly the router all the way here but if I really can’t use it I will go wired. Sadly I couldn’t get WiVRn working on wired, and ALVR had really bad performance.

My router is an Archer C6 from TP-Link. I’ve never used OpenWrt, but I have used Linux on my laptop & server for many years. Is this worth looking into/possible without any prior networking knowledge?

The uni is not at fault here, the dorm is a separate entity that just happens to have a deal to keep some rooms for exchange students like me. The dorm is from iQ Student Accommodation (who told me I could bring a router), and the ISP they use is ASK4 (whose T&C you are seeing).

Switches are also explicitly banned as they allow bypassing the device limit.

And importantly, the email is from my dorm (whose contract simply said they provided free fast wifi), while these unexpected T&Cs are from the dorm’s ISP.

While I see where you’re coming from, I do need to clarify two things:

• I use VR mainly for two things: Beat Saber, and sometimes C++ game development (my degree). I can’t develop on-headset because of the limitations Facebook imposes, so I am stuck with streaming. I am taking my own path through these studies, for example I rewrote all the assignments and engines to CMake and then Linux which has allowed me to learn a whole lot more than if I simply followed the classes. I wish to mess with networking as another extension to my studies, as it’s not covered at all and now is the time I have dedicated 100% to learning (vs later in life).
• I didn’t really choose this university: I chose to do an exchange program for a semester and this was the one option that matched my interests/degree. And the uni seems awesome so far (we haven’t started courses though). The dorm is a separate entity from the uni, but they do have a deal to provide rooms for half a year for exchange students. So this dorm was my best option to avoid a yearlong contract.
