Tovervlag , to linux in Would being a Linux "power user" increase my chances of getting a job in IT/tech?

In my area being a linux admin actually pays less than I expected. I kinda always hoped to get into a linux admin role. Now I have a sort of cloud ops role and it makes more than a typical linux admin would. It would just be silly for me to pursue this any further. That doesn’t mean I don’t touch Linux on a daily basis at work. But it’s more alround.

hperrin , to pcgaming in Which game made you realize PC was superior platform to Console (or/and viceversa)?

PC is superior in many ways, and console is superior in some others. It depends on what you value. The only reason my wife plays on PC is because I helped her get everything set up, but she didn’t need any help at all to play on the PlayStation. If you just want to play games and don’t care about tweaking things or getting the best graphics, consoles are better because they’re simple. I like to tweak and tinker and get the best graphics I can and play with mods, so I’ve always been partial to PC.

TimLovesTech , to music in What type of music is predominant on this community?
@TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social avatar

I listen to predominantly jam bands, hip hop, and rock/metal from 60’s - 90’s. I think jam band stuff is really the only music that I listen to newer than the 90’s though. I do like a bit of jamtronica kinda stuff from time to time though, and have no idea what half of what you listed even is (ugh I’m old).

Trollivier , to asklemmy in TV nerds: what should I watch

If you like Vikings, try Black Sails. A very, very underrated pirate story, unofficial prequel to the story of Treasure Island that you might have read as a kid.

I watch it once a year. It’s that good. It recently appeared on Netflix in the USA and it’s finally starting to get the attention it deserves.

lichtmetzger ,

Hell yeah, such an amazing show!

Change your password immediately to something you’ve never used before and isn’t similar to current passwords. If you’re getting random 2fa codes, someone is able to complete your first factor, so fix that ASAP.

Kelly , (edited ) to nostupidquestions in Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather?

The hourly forecast is mostly useless because it’s not a chance % but a % of the area that will be raining.

Unless your precise location is a statistical outlier these will be the same thing?

kraynyan , to retrogaming in What are your favorite Nintendo 64 games?

I’m a sucker for Kirby 64

Surp , to nostupidquestions in what is with child names like Aiden, Braiden etc?
@Surp@lemmy.world avatar

As usual…who cares what someone names their kid even if it sounds dumb to you don’t worry about it go live your life not worrying about this shit.

KestrelAlex ,

It’s okay to be curious about the world - wanting to understand is not the same thing as wanting to judge or prevent.

buzz86us OP ,

Honestly just curious about this current naming tend

zeekaran , to linux in What is something you want to use, yet are NOT using?

DNS ad blocker. My network setup is more complex than I can understand and if I set up AdGuard/PiHole I have issues.

Cosmos7349 , to nostupidquestions in Why doesn't the American market provide efficient and effective health insurance like it does for car insurance?

I mean, people are more complicated and more expensive to fix

neidu2 ,

And for some of our parts, the warranty outright sucks.

Nougat ,
NocturnalMorning ,

Maybe, but the U.S. does have some of the most expensive health system in the world, and the quality of care isn’t really better.

snooggums ,
@snooggums@midwest.social avatar

More expensive, worse care, and not available to everyone.

Cosmos7349 ,

but my understanding is that’s mostly because they don’t fully rely on the market, the way the US does. The market’s priority is not the wellbeing of people, which is why government regulation is important for affordable healthcare.

scytale , to music in What type of music is predominant on this community?

I see metal fans here which is cool. Some prog rock/metal mentions too which is even cooler.

(easier for health insurance companies to double-dip this way)

TheObviousSolution , to mildlyinfuriating in I started to get these daily at random hours, even when I'm sleeping. Someone's trying to hack me?

I got one of these emails. It isn’t even MFA, nothing to reply with the code to. It doesn’t even say which Microsoft account, it sent it to my GMail recovery account. It’s so utterly bad not being able to trace the attempt to its source. It’s sus that I’m not the only one to have recently experienced this out of nowhere. Maybe it’s an attempt to farm valid Microsoft emails from the way this service behaves?

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

What email address did it come from, no links in it at all? I would assume phishing attempts that would be coming from a BS email that has a link to either go sign in or change your password which would send you to a site and then collect your entry, thereby gathering your actual sign in info.

That can be compiled into other data over time and eventually whoever purchases or collects it all with have a full set, or immediately have a full set when they try those credentials on other sites that may not have 2 factor set up.

If it happened on a MS account you have, you can check the activity part of the account, it should list all login attempts and give you an IP for each.

@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

PC gaming has become cheaper than console gaming.

But MMOs made me a PC gamer. RuneScape and WoW.
