Antithetical

Ha sure, although since it is not well traveled there aren’t any Lemmy comments yet. But you’re very welcome to visit…

See: Gele Sneeuw

Nice, I did the same for my blog. Didn’t want to build a whole comment system when Lemmy fits the bill quite nicely :)

Yes, and that is where we enter the complicated territories…

I’m sorry, but have you ever needed to manage some certificates for a legacy system or something that isn’t just a simple public facing webserver?

Automation becomes complicated very quickly. And you don’t want to give DNS mutation access to all those systems to renew with DNS-01.

Ha, you do you… But I’m glad they have alternative means to enjoy the streams.

Yeah, they’ve been around for ages and are still excellent. I’m also very glad they still support actual audio streams and don’t require some stupid app.

(No affiliation just a happy customer.)

I have two:

• di.fm for all your electronic genres music needs (with bonus rock, classical and jazz streams).
• Kagi for a search engine that actually tries to give you proper results.

We call that percussive maintenance… the brick is optional.

Well sure, but if we’ll lower the bar for a masterpiece to this level we’ll be in for some dire times.

That’s good advice, we will. Thank you.

Thankfully Microsoft is a thrustworthy partner with the users best interests in mind. /s

At home Proxmox works reall well. When our VMWare licenses expire we’ll certainly evaluate that as option.

Wasn’t really aimed at you but from the things I’ve seen I am afraid not all Windows administrators might realize that.

And probably as a security update as well.

Installing Word, on a server, running as administrator, forecefully linked to some MS account for activation… Is that really a reasonable solution in a Microsoft world? Smh.

If documentation comes as Word document there is no documentation and a huge red flag for the software.

This is the best answer. I’ve been doing it for years at work. Dual-booting is just very inconvenient and WSL(2) is the worst of both worlds.

Install Linux on the machine and keep windows in a nice secure kvm-based cage where it can do less damage.

I’m sorry, you’re arguing in bad faith or have a huge case of Stockholm Syndrome.

But, just look at their Troubleshooting documentation where they tell you to drop to the terminal.

My point is that Microsoft has stopped making new buttons and dropdowns and refer you to new Powershell incantations for most new settings. Just look at how many options the new “Settings” app offers compared to the deprecated Control Panel.

Ha, then stay on Windows 7/10 or you’ll lose your control panel soon…

I have heard this argument for over 20 years… “You have to use the terminal in Linux, so user hostile”.

Well, try to do ANY windows sysadmin tasks without Powershell… See how far that gets you. Need to manage Exchange? Powershell. Need to change some network settings? Powershell… It is even getting more and more unavoidable. Now Powershell doesn’t even have a good terminal environment, sane parameters or good usability. And a general lack of documentation for all the obscure incantations.

In the meantime KDE on Linux is wonderful, fully integrated with the system, easy software maintenance (on Kubuntu for example) and with a sane settings menu… You hardly need a terminal at all. Try to find that in Windows.

So sorry, this argument is either invalid, out of date or Microsoft is even worse.

Strangly this UI always reminds me of the hospital scene from Idiocracy… Click the icon for where it hurts

Man pages are great to have, all documentation easily accessible, mostly complete and directly available in your terminal.

Compare this to the shitshow that is git --help in windows opening a stupid browser. Somebody should be defenestrated for that decission.
