  • The only thing that hold me back full-time linux daily driving due to workplace uses M$ suites (Office, Teams, Outlook and so on) and CAD program (Freecad pita for me, haven’t tried Ondsel addon).

    I don’t think they would just abandon the support overnight (unless they’re being greedy af and want to drive the failed “Windows 11” adoption very fast). The fact that they only make “sudo” utility only for Windows 11 is disguting (though you can do it yourself on windows 10 too), pretty sure they will keep giving security patches just like XP and 7 being legacy system.







  • I’ll explain it in layman’s terms…

    • There is always a price (inconvenience) for secure-ness in online world.
    • There’s 2 option to host a forum,
      1. You can use service like forum hoster or rent a VPS (so you can setup your own server although not self-hosting).
      2. Self-host yourself (this one a bit tricky if you aren’t prepared).
    • Learn some good basic OpSec habit (eg. Never use same password, Never put your personal detail in your active directory especially on your site source document, use 2FA and so on).
    • Learn to spot a phising or malicious link and never to randomly click random link in an email (in times when someone tried to social engineering you).
    • Use reputable service provider if you are not going to self-host yourself.
    • If you happen to self-host, make sure to check your open ports and secure them. Bots always probing any site in the world!
    • For some reason if you’re going to run sketchy stuff, never use your real credential. This point may not apply on your region as it depends on your local law.

  • Maybe in my message seems to focus solely on discord for putting the blame… The problem nowadays is that mostly these “devs” share/upload/host their releases in Discord which means you do use Discord’s CDN to host their files. Another common complaint of these practices is that you need to join their server in order to just download relevant files which makes it infuriating if you stumbles across these practices often. For example I joined 8 different discord servers just to download a software/binary/release, why can’t just put the release on something like Mediafire, Google Drive, Megaupload or perhaps sourceforge.

    I do understand Discord is communication platform but most of time some people are too lazy to manage stuff so what happen is that everything is hosted in single place as such Discord.








  • Have read the article.

    Maybe call me ignorant but as someone from Eastern part of the world, sometimes I wonder why would these people worry when all of these AI stuff are still prompted from human input, in a sense that We are the one who creates them and dictates its actions. All in all they’re just closed loop automata that happens to have better feedback input compared to your ordinary Closed loop system machines.

    Maybe these people worried because these (regular people) don’t know how these things works or simply they don’t have or lack of self control in first place which what makes them feels like having no control about what happening.

    I understand the danger of AI too, but those who prompted them also human too, in which it is just human nature by itself.

    Imo this kind stuff probably because these “dev” having safe space on those discord servers rather than using something properly setup site/forum.

    Heck you can make your own documentation using github/gitlab built in wiki or if you want something fancier, setup a site using JAMstack/static site generator, pick suitable theme then use gh page to host it.

    I even more hate this stuff when the files is gated inside discord server, dude out of all possible file hosting services why the heck you would use discord?
