If you’re behind a conventional router they still do NAT afaik.

Per default your IPv6 address should be an internal one if it’s enabled.

Yeah, we managed to recreate that in a lab. Those old OS’s are super vulnerable.

EOL means no more security updates, which means attack vectors don’t get patched.

If you keep using a Windows installation (or any OS for that matter) that isn’t patched regularly you are very likely to be victim to some malicious actor eventually. It’s not manual hacking anymore, it’s bots scraping the whole internet exploiting known vulnerabilities completely automated.

The risk is much lower if you’re in a home network with NAT, where your PCs IP is not publicly reachable, but if you communicate with any webservices you’re still vulnerable.

As example. If you nowadays put a Windows XP machine live on the internet with a public IP, it will be compromised within minutes.

So yeah. Good call switching to Mint, but please don’t use unpatched Windows.

Offensichtlich NdA!

Immer diese NPCs die dem Hauptcharakter einen Strick drehen wollen wegen Lapalien.

Das geht ja noch viel tiefer als nur das falsch abstellen.

Der Typ regt sich ja auf, dass es Strafen gibt, wenn man Eigentum der Firma (Fahrtenbuch) irgendwo verliert, wenn man drinnen raucht und wenn man den Wagen beschädigt.

Also so ignorant und eingebildet muss man mal sein, dass man so einen Vertrag eingeht, gegen Bedingungen verstößt und dann die Vermieter als die Arschlöcher sieht.

I use Hugo for static site generation and it makes the RSS stuff for me.

What kind of affiliation are you talking about?

Ohne mir das jetzt komplett reingezogen zu haben find ich radikale Linke einfach zach.

Ich hab mir letztens das h3h3 vs. Hassan Drama reingezogen und finds einfach befremdlich von Leuten die sich als Links bezeichnen zu hören, dass es ok wäre Bevölkerungsgruppen abzuschlachten.

I don’t necessarily like a few takes in the comments here.

Vibes wise the Obsidian team seems to be great and they don’t seem to have shown any reason why I should distrust them. I love FOSS but gifting others my work doesn’t put food on my table, so in that sense they need to have a lucrative business model which they seem to have established.

I could use SyncThing, Git or other solutions to do synchronisation between my devices but I choose to buy their Sync offer, since I want to support them (they also have EU servers, which need to be GDPR compliant by law afaik).

The closest comparison I could make is NextCloud. NextCloud open sources their software, but they sell convenience. Sure, you could self host it, but paying them to do so for you may be more attractive. In comparison Obsidian is not really complicated to set up or maintain. It’s literally just a MD-editor. So the only convenient thing to sell is synchronisation if you don’t want to put a price tag on the software.

If they open source all their code, some tech wizard will implement a self hosted obsidian sync server with the same convenience as theirs in a day, and the company will lose their revenue stream.

We’ve all been burned by tech bros in one way or another, but I think it’s ok for people to profit off of their IP. And they seem to be doing so with a positive vision. Feel free to let me eat my words if they ever go rogue, but that’s my 2 cents.
