Very cool. Wireshark is one of those things that has been around for so long it’s easy to take for granted, so it is nice to be reminded that it took a huge cooperative effort over more than two decades to get where it is. One of the really great examples of what open source can do.

Yeah, I like having a few isos on Ventoy for live booting from random PCs for troubleshooting. Very convenient being able to have multiple architectures, DEs, versions of distros to boot from on one drive.

It is well established, if niche, software. I think your sketchometer needs calibration.

Odd that you’ve had so much trouble with Linux. My experience generally had been that it requires more time on initial config, then it just keeps working unless you change something.

The post is not about prisoners.

Wtf? Its a ridiculous BS situation that support is dropped so fast, but if you do anything remotely sensitive on your phone you should absolutely use a device receiving security support.

There’s no game I don’t eventually get tired of, but here are three that are fantastic and I can recommend playing for hours and hours:

• FTL
• Slay the Spire
• Darkest Dungeon

All indie titles, none of them new, still fantastic and well worth it if you haven’t played any on this list. Also all challenging roguelikes, so be warned. =P

I’ve thought about it, but I prefer to install things from fdroid so I can get updates without having to check for it on their repository. If no alternatives pop up there soon I may just grab the apk.

I like it a lot, but it has a lot of bugs that drive me crazy. Particularly with the Jerboa app, but also on the web. That’s part of the early days for any software, though, especially one undergoing an explosion in its userbase. I’m happy to stick it out, and Lemmy is already a ~90% replacement for what reddit has been to me for the last 10+ years (feels weird to say that).

I would recommend Mint for an easier transition, its what I jumped to from Ubuntu due to Canonical’s behavior and I’ve been happy. It is definitely simpler to use than Debian - which is not to say anything bad about Debian. It’s just less hand-holdy. I like it for servers.
