Well, not really po-tay-toh/po-tah-toh. They’re 2 different utilities that do 2 different things. If you ask the wrong question, you’re not going to get the answer you’re looking for.

What you’re asking about is an antivirus. It’s been awhile since I messed with this on my Linux systems, but last I looked, ClamAV was most commonly recommended. You can probably search for “Linux antivirus” and find some recommendations.

Generally speaking, the earlier recommendations to stick with official repos is excellent. When you venture outside of that, you increase your administrative overhead because those manually installed apps won’t stay patched with a simple “apt upgrade.” That said, a well written cron job could keep them up to date for you.

As for where to install things, it’s personal preference. I prefer using my home directory. If that doesn’t work, my fallback in /usr/local, which is either its own partition or symlinked to the /home partition). I mention the partitions because having separate /home and possibly /usr/local makes it easy for these customizations you install to survive a reinstall. Backups will also help with this.

You have to ask yourself what this system will be used for. If it’s a daily driver that you want to “just work” I would stick to official repos, and minimize customizations. Windows makes a lot of choices for you. Linux expects you to know what you want to do.

I know autofs will work with nfs. Never used it with SMB. I’ve used it on a share of /home to specifically mount /home/user as needed (e.g., at login).

First, it’s important for people to understand that democratic governance is compromise. At least when elected officials play by the rules (cough, Trump/GOP).

Second, I don’t think Mamdani was ever going to turn. NYC into a “socialist paradise,” like all the rich/right-wing/centrist Chicken Littles warned. The best he can hope to do is pull the state party back to the left. Maybe find some success with progressive policies and open the door for more progressive candidates.

Democrats have been trying for so long to get the mythical “moderate Republican” vote that they’ve effectively become the centrist party, and it’s allowed the GOP to move further and further to the right to where Tea Partiers are now the moderates! It’s good to see a true progressive win a major election, even if it is NYC (the city did also elect Rudy & Bloomberg to the post).

Careful, Secretary Noem can only get so wet!

Man, fuck you.

That show was so off the wall. I loved it!

The simplest answer is usually the right one. Especially with TFG.

While I genuinely love to see this, I fear it will come crashing down. At some point the one, or both, of two things will happen. Either:

• A government’s private cloud will be hacked, and the argument will be that the security upkeep is too expensive and cause the lapse that allowed the breach.
• Similarly the cost argument, on its own, will rear its ugly head during some future budget crunch and popular thought amongst government leaders will sway back to the ever popular “private industry == efficiency & low cost.”

Hope it doesn’t happen, but history do often be a bitch like that.

Yeah, we all need to be minority women of wildly varying income levels. Make the “great replacement” fuckers shake in their boots!

I prefer “… in prison.”

Holy shit! It’s the consequences of his ineptitude all caught up with him! Who woulda thunk!?

There’s no 1 “golden trait.” If he/she has 1 important trait, but is lacking in all the rest, why bother? An empathetic, or humorous, or relatable prick is still a prick.

You mean 201 yards away!

Agreed. If he had said anything, they would’ve headed to Zion for some “R & R,” and picked up a new crew member before heading back out.

At this point, can’t we just assume that any new “feature” is intended to further some ulterior money-making goal?

Came here to say, “Knees have joined the chat.”

What distro is the toaster running?

I think the OP is from the movie Signs?

Don’t remember him talking about that, but I do remember him being asked about making another Evil Dead movie. His answer was, “you’ll have to get Sam to walk away from his multimillion dollar checks for making Spider-Man movies long enough to do another Evil Dead, but I’d be all for it!”
