It’s the internet. Everyone is an expert on everything.

I appreciate the warning as it readily admits the majority of the content is boring enough to make you want to scroll away.

3.5 GB disk space required? I’ll just look out the window, thanks.

Like anything else, can be, depending on your needs.

I read the synopsis of the book(thanks for the link). I can see where a book like this wouldn’t be appropriate for a 10yo but an entire school system ban seems an overreach.

It would be nice to ensure that as a parent, I was the one introducing topics to my child but having raised her already, I realize that unless I kept her at home her entire childhood, that’s a pipe dream. I would have been ok with that book being at her school and if she had read it, she most likely would have talked to me about it as we had many candid conversations on sexuality, relationships and other topics that she came to be aware of via the internet, media or friends.

I’m very curious about what content in a Judy Blume book met the “pornographic or indecent material" burden mentioned in the article.

Other states hoping to finally be able to become a completely Christian-run entity will be taking notes.

Could you tell me what would be lacking? There’s a surprising amount of bells and whistle s you can add to the setup. Check out bunsenlabs distro for an example.

I love OB with tint2 and conky , no de needed.

Was he practicing or is this just another case of punishment theater?

Which is why I said “linux as a whole”. Many distros will try to undo the nerdery and neckbeardism that is built into the parent distros but as a whole, linux is going to always be less welcoming to a new user than someone that’s used to useless warnings and repeated password entries for elevated privileges. Being safer and being new-user-friendly rarely go hand in hand.

Yes but surely you’re aware that even the most new-user-friendly distros and their tools aren’t necessarily aimed at new users.

That warning is a perfect example of how Linux developers choose which hill to die on. They post a warning for an app that everyone knows can deliver bad times to two camps of users; those that know and don’t care and those that don’t understand the warning. If we could quantify the helpfulness of that warning, odds are that it saved 0 users from malicious action from that avenue of attack.

Never expect Linux as a whole to be “helpful” to the new crowd.

That might not work either. If a server marks it as spam, we do something called blackholing the email, meaning we discard the email and close the connection without responding to the sending server. This is done in an effort to provide as little info as possible to a bad actor.

If you don’t send an email from a server and address deemed reputable and with a low enough spam score, you’ll be shut down by more than 95% of the mail servers out there.

There’s really not enough info here to help you. Are you looking for software? Writing it from scratch? Web tool? Bulk or not?

I don’t know how many addresses you plan on testing on any one server but we’ve been on to this trick for decades now and the firewall will block you from almost every server once you try a non-existent address a few times(for my servers, it’s 2). Many servers also report bot/spam IPs to the ISP and if you get reported enough time, your connection could get shut down.

I appreciate titles that let you know you don’t need to waste time watching it.

With the prices on the Pi5 your potentially getting into the price range where it might make sense to look at the Beelinks mini PCs, based around a 12th gen Intel.

Wow, wish I had known about that before. That looks amazing! I ordered one and will give it a shot. Do you happen to know of a community based around mini-pcs? If not Lemmy, forum, etc. I use places like Tomshardware but would love to see things like the Beelink when they pop up.

I see. I went a bit pricier and am running a refurbed EliteDesk 705 G4-Mini for one of my linux desktops but I’m also running linux desktops with a Pi4 and 5 elsewhere. All three have been working great but as you mentioned, running linux on ARM takes away a lot of software options, unfortunately.

Could you share what you consider better options at the same price point?

I agree. I used Debian for a very long time but found a move to Sid for fresh packages to be a frustrating experience so I just moved to an ubu based system.
