The amount of security threat encouragement in these comments is impressive.

Nope, bad idea.

Lawyers don’t lie. They massage the truth.

No, didn’t touch it at all until I was in my mid 20s, and then it was only alcohol.

On a samurai sword is lame but a 6’ one is sort of a trophy.

Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, China in that order.

Instead of chaining them together, try to put the “router” in a central location and do what’s needed to limit your repeaters to a single hop away from the router. Chaining them together will lead to problems.

A proper mesh system will work better than repeaters. Some systems can use powerline networking to use your existing power outlets as a network, but it’s not always that great.

Some locations such as apartments/condos have really bad interfering neighbors on 2.4ghz. If that’s your situation then using 5ghz exclusively might help.

Just change it once and leave it.

Just shift it 30 mins instead of an hour to appease everyone.

They will close. If you look at how many gas stations there are you’ll see that they are everywhere. I was driving through Iowa and saw an intersection that had 6 gas stations.

The Hu.

You can easily search for news on Linux malware. Most recently npm was affected.

Npm is used by a lot of software, so updating your software from valid sources could easily infect your machine.

It’s also dead simple to misconfigure something on Linux, like your firewall, leaving your machine exposed to the internet. Linux doesn’t bother you nearly as much as windows does when it comes to updating and restarting. Windows used to be that way too but had to adapt to the changing threat landscape.

With VMs you can try as many at once as your system can support, with less risk than booting up on a livecd, and the ability to switch between them without having to reboot.

Moving files manually is fine.

Don’t use an EoL/EoS OS, full stop.

Start up virtualbox or any virtual machine on your windows machine and test drive a few different distributions until you find one you like.

Use windows built in backup services or something like the Veeam free backup agent before blowing up your system.

I would also move my files to a cloud services, even if it’s temporary.

Install the distribution your choice.

Spin up virtual box again and restore your machine into it. You may have license activation issues but you’ll have access your data. Move your data out of the VM and onto your home folder.

Also note that win11 isn’t nearly as bad as people here say.

Linux has malware. It’s just different. Linux supports nvidia, a usb boot would help you determine how well your hardware is supported.

“How I Did It” would be a good title.

Why are the 3rd and 4th panels messed up?

Many years ago go I worked for a company as their BlackBerry admin. I also managed their other smartphones. They started an office in Russia.

The Russian government wouldn’t let you use a BlackBerry server, they only let you turn over your creds to a server managed by the phone operator.

I assumed this was because they wanted to see those emails.

They didn’t need to do this for ActiveSync or imap devices like iPhone Android or windows phones.

It offers some other features like hybrid access to data,If my nas isn’t available I can access it from their cloud. There’s also some identity services.

Go ahead and try it with me

Backup to 2nd nas.

Important stuff gets backed up to cloud storage. Whatever is cheapest.

In my case Synology c2 cloud was cheapest.
