The wii games look amazing too! I don’t remember Super Mario Galaxy looking that good.

I had them working great in my Thinkpad X270, even you could authenticate or use it in the terminal with sudo. I miss my X270 man :/

Dell enterprise series of desktops (Optiplex and Precision) are upgradeable with off the shelf parts. The CPU, RAM, SSD, GPU, Network cards, etc. The same way a regular motherboard from any manufacturer does.

For example an Intel Core 8th gen system would POST with any 8th Gen CPU, any type of DDR4 ram and would boot from any disk. You cannot upgrade an 8th gen to a 12th or 14th gen from any brand, the only proprietary properties of these systems are the case or motherboard form factor and the power connectors.

Do you have a spare set up where you can boot up from that same SSD? Literally any laptop would work plug and play and that would rule out the possibility of it being the motherboard on the OP.

I know a guy fitted for the job. He’s well versed in MS-DOS, Win 3.1, 3.11 etc. Hell, he’s even fluent in German, but he’s due a hip and knee replacement this month…

That’s all I’m gonna say.

I don’t get it, is python dying?

But that’s two keys! End or Home is a single press.

The solution is not a solution but is good enough.

Sure thanks president.

Thank you for your input, tourist.

Would you mind sharing some examples?

Seconding this, Dell has excellent support for Linux on their enterprise laptops (Latitude and Precision). XPS are another breed, and tend to be marketed as a ultrabook or a MacBook competition.

I have noticed that healthy torrents stall when the ISP closes the port I was using in the end. Several torrent clients have the option to check if the port is open or closed, and also another option to randomize the port at startup.

QBittorrent and Transmission have an option to anonymize or have the data encrypted, and that seems to make a difference for me when downloading using my employers ISP.

I’ve had that happen on EndeavourOS but it was because of a corrupted ISO. Have you checked checksums?

I hate it, basically I have to force myself when I boot into windows to physically disconnect the RJ45 from the back, so it doesn’t replace the boot entries thru an update.

Not if they use GNU nano or that shitty windows notepad.

Mega.io created by Kim Dotcom is (mostly) open source.

Wouldn’t be surprised if now the steps are code and instructions provided by ChatGPT.

There is a website called roadmap.sh which has both Skill and Role based roadmaps to learn how to program. There is no actual “SysAdmin” role path since our job can technically have several routes by itself.

I personally use Debian at my org, and found Python and Bash enough to automate small things that need to be done in a regular basis.

But if for example, you were a Windows SysAdmin you’d have to learn to use PowerShell ~ or VBS (idk if those scripts are still a thing)~ .
