Out of curiosity, what software? It won’t run with Wine? Maybe there’s a decent enough alternative?

Just stop dual booting. This is self-inflicted harm. Setup a VM or find a native workaround.

I stayed on Myspace long past when the majority jumped ship. It eventually lost what made it special when the boy band guy bought it to twist it into something more music focused. But I still preferred it to the sterile, uniformity of Facebook.

Ah, gotcha. Feel like I’m too old to keep up with it now.

Are these called “Wojack” memes? I’ve never understood why this art style became so popular.

I would say not much. If it’s your own personal LAN, and only your devices are on it, and you’re not hosting super sensitive data, then I wouldn’t personally be worried. Just depends on your risk acceptance.

Edit: But if you are hosting sensitive data on an untrusted network, then definitely require a user with a strong password. Also, SMB3 and higher supports encryption (both in Windows and Samba for Linux). Encryption isn’t enabled by default, though. So keep that in mind. Easy to setup on both Windows and Linux.

That’s a security quirk. Microsoft reeeeeally doesn’t want you to do anonymous SMB anymore, and with every version of Windows, Microsoft has made is more complicated to get it working like that. It’s probably still possible, but easier just to make a quick local user account and assign it read/write permissions to the share. Samba on Linux can still do it without as much fuss, but I’ve long since just accepted the extra step.

Well, ya got me there.

Maybe because IBM bought Redhat so they’re saying it’s corporate? Just a wild guess. I use Debian, and not sure why that makes me the hide the pain meme.

Is that Plan 9’s Glenda in the backpack?

I was pretty into x86 asm in my teens. Nasm was my go to. Anyone else ever play with MenuetOS?

I’m a long-time Samba fan, but even I wouldn’t run them as DCs in a production environment.

I’m one of the dozen people that bought premium to not have to deal with it. I’m just patiently waiting for alternatives to become more viable so I can jump ship entirely. YouTube is the last remaining Google service I still use.

I used it on a laptop for a while. Pretty impressive just how lightweight it is, but a bit of a grind to initially get everything working as expected. Overall, I’m a big fan.
