“learned some things like Linux, command line, docker, and networking/pfsense” “I don’t consider myself technical”
Don’t sell yourself short, I work in IT and have colleagues on our helpdesk who would struggle endlessly with those concepts.
I hereby dub you a tech person, like it or not, those skills can and do pay the bills.

The Heritage Foundation can get absolutely fucked.
I explain fast boot to people by saying “for some reason Microsoft went and made the Shut Down button not actually shut down your PC, it really just puts it into a ‘deep sleep’ mode, and to their credit, it lets them say that boot times are faster… But it also means that in order to FULLY restart the PC, you have to click restart… I know it’s a pain”
Usually I get looked at like I’m from another planet, but that reaction means they’ll probably remember it later.
Syncthing is fantastic. Loving it so far.

The orders of the Devs Radiant must stand again
Better yet - mine keeps trying to push me to the new version, but the (new) version is blocked in my org.
So every time it tries to open, I get a “teams (new) is blocked in your organization.” And I have to fight it to go back to the old version.
Free hardware is the best hardware!
I’m able to get a lot of gear secondhand through my job, so I’ve got:
One 2u Intel server running proxmox in a ‘cluster’ (circa 2013ish. Added RAM and upgraded the CPU/storage.)
One Intel nuc with an i7-7th gen as the other host in the cluster - only one VM is set to fail over between the two if needed.
VMs:

All acquired over the last couple years for the low low price of “it was going into the trash anyway”
Honestly, I completely agree with the sentiment, although in this particular case OP just asked “upgrade to 11 or Linux?” While indicating that they already have some degree of comfort with Linux after having it on a laptop, so the Linux advocates in this thread have a bit of a leg to stand on in this case.
However: when there are questions like “how do I do X in Y software on Z operating system” it’s completely valid to be frustrated with the evangelists who come out of the woodwork and say “just use this other OS” because it completely misses the point of the question.
And that goes for Windows, Mac, and Linux evangelists.
Lemmy as a platform is built on FOSS. There are going to be Linux/FOSS advocates all over here.
I say this as primarily a windows admin who recently started diving into Linux.
The “real answer” is that Windows 10 is supported until October 2024. You have until then to make your decision or switch to an alternative because after that, W10 won’t be getting more updates and you risk running an unsecure system at that point.
Windows 10 will be supported until October of 2024
Because of that I’m planning to get a bigger NVME drive and dual-boot my system on Windows and Linux. I did a full switch for a couple months after the beginning of the year and it went alright.
Not that I’ve heard of or seen unfortunately
Me too, I’m really trying to work with the community leaders to bring them here, but I haven’t gotten much in the way of responses yet unfortunately.
I can’t imagine the Vision Pro will stay $3500. I fully expect them to release Apple Vision (non pro) for a significantly cheaper price down the line. That product will most likely see more adoption.
I’m sitting on a hand-me-down Intel server with a 24 core CPU, 96gb of RAM, and a combined 13.5TB of storage space.
Currently hosting:
Redundant pi-holes - DNS/Adblock
Plex - Streaming service 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Uptime Kuma - uptime tracker
Cloudflare proxy - secured external access to my environment sans VPN. It’s set up with session tokens and 2fa via email. I’d like to lock this down further but I’m using the free option right now.
Ubiquiti wireless controller - I also have a hand-me-down AP, and I’m using it to improve wireless signal in my house.
I’d love some recommendations for different things to host too. I don’t think a Lemmy instance is in the cards for me ATM though.

Shout-out to the 10+ ad test that yt did a few months ago
27k here, not terribly worried about it honestly.
Thanks, I hate it
