Not sure if it's the devs to blame when there's statements like:

Kurtz therefore has the possibly unique and almost-certainly-unwanted distinction of having presided over two major global outage events caused by bad software updates.

So, I'm guessing it's the business that's not supporting good dev->test->release practices.

But, I agree with your point; their overall software quality is terrible.

I think they should consider the word "wages" instead.

Let's be honest, this is compensation for skilled labour.

I would add that a lot of attacks are done after a fix has been released - ie compare the previous release with the patch and bingo - there's the vulnerability.

But agree, patching should happen regularly, just with a few days delay after the supplier release it.

No it's Crowdstrike... we're just seeing an issue with their Windows software, not their Linux software.

Fun fact: the Zombie film "World War Z" was filmed (mostly) in UK

Just to add - if your phone drops off the wifi (mine does and I'm still trying to find out why... maybe due to power saving), then maybe, you could also look at bluetooth tracking (ie something like ESPresence) for HA to know you're still at home.

(Bluetooth can also be setup in the Companion App)

Many thanks for your efforts - I appreciate it's quite a thankless task you're doing.

And... I meant to setup a regular payment when you picked up from Tom and... dunno... fighting off zombies distracted me... so I'll take another look at those links.

Uncheck the box labeled Allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement.

And, we're back to normal?

What kinda thing are you thinking of? An actual photobooth kinda box?

You could usr an Android tablet, install Open Camera (from F-Droid) and that has the ability to take (for example) 4 photos with a 10 sec delay... videos too...

Then use syncthing to copy those photos to something else (your phone, a NAS, etc) before it gets trashed / accidentally wiped, etc...

I tried using Enlightenment years ago - it looked amazing, and then... I found all the bugs, incompatibilities, etc... and it's lackof progress was disappointing.

I tried Bodhi Linux and even they gave up, creating their own Moksha desktop environment too...

Whatever you do. Full backup first 👍🏻😉

Personally, I'd go with the clean Fedora install on the new drive and copy your data over as someone else mentioned, then expand Windows once you 100% happy with it.

(I did something similar with WinXP years ago... eventually dropping Windows, so that harddrive just became a data drive)

Follow the videos, the original developer shows what it can do, but it's basically running keylogger software.
