I’ll be watching this discussion, as I’m currently using Remmina. It meet the bare minimum of SSH & RDP, but it doesn’t have a clear method to organize connections and instead uses a big list. I also find the interface a tad counterintuitive, so maybe I’m just using it wrong.
It also seems to have a bug where it launches twice whenever I start my computer. So I have to close one.
It was a few years back that I dumped Brave and had to perform the surgery to remove the service manually. I can’t remember the name exactly, but this article says “Brave VPN Service” and “Brave VPN Wireguard Service”. You sound like you don’t have it installed.
If you are using Windows, double-check your services.msc to ensure that the VPN was disabled/removed. After I got tired of fighting, I uninstalled Brave and the uninstaller did not remove the VPN service. So I have my doubts the patch would remove it.
No, after Brave installed a service level running VPN without my consent, and continued to reinstall it silently every background update even after removal, it’s a bad browser. That’s what malware does.
Comparing two companies with poor track records doesn’t make them good companies when compared to each other.
I wonder how this compares to OpenShot.
I use OpenShot to trim stuff that LosslessCut can’t properly manage, but whenever I use OpenShot I seem to crash it at least once.
you made me picture a Back to the Future remake with a Tesla Truck as the time machine…
I’m curious, did you dig around the BIOS/UEFI to see if there are any ACPI power states that can be disabled?
I had a very similar issue and turning off S3 worked around it. Of course, that meant higher power usage during sleep but it was a compromise over buying new hardware.
I’m afraid to find out how many people are still downloading OpenOffice, thinking it’s the same software they heard about back in 2010.
not my words. It’s the Valve dev who said it.
Funny, I just saw an article saying don’t get too excited about Linux gaming boosts because apparently Wine doesn’t use ntsync yet, and Valve already worked around ntsync by implementing the faster fsync in SteamOS.
exactly. Thank you.
Back in 2012 an affordable $40 flash drive was 1GB. Now $40 gets you a 512GB.
$90 would have netted you a 2GB full-size SD card. Now you get a 1TB MicroSD with adapter
$80 would get you 1TB in spinning rust in 2012… now, with $80 you get… 1TB or if you stretch the budget a little, 2TB. But what if you own a bunch of games like Ark Survival Evolved that take up 435GB of space? Shell out $649
Back when I bought the 1TB, I installed the entire steam library I owned onto it. Now I can’t get more than 6-7 new titles installed. I’m ignoring how insanely fast drives have gotten over the years, but my complaint is storage.
EDIT: For the sake of comparison outside my complaint of SSD sizing, spinning rust at $80 today is just 4TB at a lower 5400rpm instead of 7200rpm.
fair point, even the MicroSD market would target the mobile user and not so much a desktop.
One step above what I had back in 2012? What exactly does that say about progress in capacity?
I refuse to believe there isn’t much demand for it when we have MicroSD cards approaching 2TB.
I just want bigger drives… I feel like we’ve been stuck at 1TB for at least a decade.
How else can you pretend you are ordering the Hulk around?
apt update
apt upgrade
…actually, now I want to see if I can set up an alias like that.

It doesn’t even mention when Brave silently installed their VPN as a service on your system. Which doesn’t get removed when you uninstall Brave. And if you do manually remove it, gets reinstalled on Brave silent automatic update, because that’s also a background running service.
My library also offers a membership with Flipster (magazines).
