I get you. Been a little while since I went, but it was hell. Idk how much longer you’ve got left but I can absolutely promise you with certainty that in your scenario, it will 100% get better with time. One day you’ll be graduated and look back not understanding how you even got through it, but you’ll be so glad it’s over.

I worked four 10s through the week in uni, and did full time classes all day on every single day I had off. Man that sucked. Stemmed from the same issue you’re facing, and to me it was worth it to move out and struggle that way than it was to face the constant back and forth between my family and I. All I can really say, is keep it pushing and finish strong. Because it does get better, even if it feels like it never will!

You could technically still use it alongside f2b, but in my experience Crowd-Sec seems to do a better job and can do the same things.

Intel’s drivers are actually open and entirely functional on Linux. waaaaay easier to get working and playing games than anything I’ve ever had to deal with on Nvidia, that’s for damn sure.

int main(void) { . . . } for me!

I agree that’s an important aspect of open source, but for me personally it’s more about being able to audit what is running on my machine. the fact that they show you the code lets me see and confirm for myself that they aren’t doing anything shady like spying. Though it might not be good enough for some people it definitely is for me.

It’s a level of transparency you won’t ever get from truly “proprietary” software.

Personally the necktie

Network Administrator at a growing company. We’ve expanded quite a lot at this point, and although that’s my title I do basically everything with my small team from writing code and pissing with the servers, to installing cameras and helping old sally when her computer freezes.

Seeing the different perspectives of the same timeline was super super cool to me. loved being able to see Gordon on the cameras haha.
