You can run i3 inside XFCE on a per user basis, but convincing my wife/kids to swap users when they need the computer for “just a second”…

I just take the win that they are on Linux and use a shared account.

XFCE. I also like tiling WMs, but I often have to share computers and they are too unintuitive for the rest of the family.

I use syncthings.

Hashing is more about obscuring the password if the database gets compromised. I guess they could send 2^256 or 2^512 passwords guesses, but at that point you probably have bigger issues.

It doesn’t matter the input size, it hashes down to the same length. It does increase the CPU time, but not the storage space. If the hashing is done on the client side (pre-transmission), then the server has no extra cost.

For example, the hash of a Linux ISO isn’t 10 pages long. If you SHA-256 something, it always results in 256 bits of output.

On the other hand, base 64-ing something does get longer as the input grows.

As someone stuck in DTW, I feel the pain.

The beauty of Linux at home, you get to choose what works best for you.

Also, you can configure sudo to prompt every time if you really want.

I was on a system that was configured that way for “security”, so I would just ‘sudo bash’ which is obviously much safer /s.

N64 controller. It’s insane, but I love it.

I totally expect one day a XFCE (Wayland) option will show up, I will click it, forget I did, and use it forever more.

XOrg is my daily driver for these reasons:

1. I mostly use XFCE, which doesn’t have Wayland yet
2. last time I tried Wayland (long time ago now on Gnomr), it was buggy and didn’t work
3. I don’t change my setups that much, so I haven’t tried it since
4. I don’t need the features Wayland offers/XOrg covers my use cases
5. Wayland drama

That being said, I have no fundamental opposition to Wayland, and will probably use it someday.

To follow on to this, the “best” build may not be the best for you and how you play. Try out various things to see what feels right to you. Sword and board, magic, gish, dual wield, big two hander, bigger two hander, etc. All of them are viable to beat the game, so find the one you like the most/is easiest for you.

This is a great answer.

Perhaps the solution is to figure out how to update without restarting. It is a hard problem, but a forced restart is the same as a crash from a user perspective.

I inject myself with beans every morning, usually French press

BusyBox + Linux = Linux

There are distros that don’t install man by default? Crazy.

Similarly, I like to toy around with tiling window managers, but then someone less technical needs to use the computer, so back to XFCE we go.

I have this exact problem.

Edit: nvm, found the solution

I do love the “shorts can be no more than 1 inch above the knees”, but “cheerleaders get to wear the equivalent of bathing suits to class because it is a ‘uniform’.”
