Comedy can be staged and still be funny. It’s acting.

They will suddenly stop supporting them after a few years

Try putting -vvv when you connect and see what’s happening. I can imagine this happening if you have multiple identities (private/public key pairs) on the client and you hit a max retry limit. Pub key is always tried first, and it should ask for password once all the local keys have been tried.

Mr Krab there surely doesn’t have the same customers I have, if he’s so relaxed

Which distro?

Thank you and all the others that took time to educate me on what is for me a “I know some of those words” subject

At the cost of sounding naive and stupid, wouldn’t it be possible to improve compilers to not spew out unsafe executables? Maybe as a compile time option so people have time to correct the source.

Like the S in IoT stands for security. Got it.

It’s on the stand…

You know, even getting offended requires some involvement…

Boh, my average experience is “apt install foo”. Let’s not perpetuate myths.

What kind of prompt does your company 2FA provide? Using openconnect with networkmangler, I get a pop up to input my pin+totp. I haven’t done the script way in the last few years, but the connection script is plain shell and I was able to handle the 2FA from there too

For anyconnect: openconnect works perfectly, either as standalone script or via networkmangler.

Unfortunately falcon self updates. And it will not work properly if you don’t let it do it.

Also add “customer has rejected the maintenance window” to your list.

There’s an even worse thing: timezone selection UIs that don’t let you choose UTC

It was a struggle. You went to buy some device and you had to check it was not one of those windows-only ones. Modems were particularly bad, for example.

You had to read the how-tos and figure things out. Mailing lists and newsgroups were the only places to find some help.

You had to find the shop willing to honour warranty on the parts and not on the whole system, as they had no knowledge of Linux at all. But once you found them, you were a recurring customer so they were actually happy. You might even have ended up showing them memtest86!

You would still be able to configure the kernel and be able to actually know some of those names, compilation would take several hours but it was a learning experience.

You could interact with very helpful kernel developers and get fixes to test.

You could have been the laughing stock of your circles of friends, but within you, you knew who’d have had the last laugh.

And yes, Loki games had some titles working on Linux natively, Railroad Tycoon was one. Too bad they were ahead of the times and didn’t last much.

You can choose KDE as desktop environment during Debian installation, or replace whatever DE you installed at any time.

Do you mean SKB (or skbb, never figured out how they want to be abbreviated)?

Of course it’s KT.

Oh, come on, did you really have to pull emacs into this crossfire? Leave us weirdos alone!
