ABSOLUTELY THIS. Same. I have to deal with Oracle and their Opera PMS platform which uses Weblogic, 19c, and a variety of other products and it makes me actively want to scream and light things on fire. If I can help it, you won’t catch me using another Oracle product if I can avoid it.
I love OpenRGB. It’s such a fast and lightweight alternative to Corsair iCUE, which is needlessly heavy, clunky, and resource-intensive just to tell your lights what color to be.
I’ve used Pihole and Adguard. Liked them both, but ultimately went back to Pihole.
Possibly, and hopefully! And it is true that storage will only get cheaper, and theoretically bandwidth will be too. But for now, bandwidth is expensive and (fast) storage is also expensive, despite being much more affordable than it was not too many years ago.
Absolutely this. As much as I’d love a free (and preferably FOSS) alternative to YouTube that’s just as good, I don’t see a realistic way for that to happen. Video is expensive.
I’ll give a search on Duck Duck Go, and if I can’t find what I need then I’ll use Google.
But at this point I’m using Google Bard and ChatGPT more and more, at least at work.
Overall it’s pretty good! With more development on Jerboa and better backend performance and an influx of people, I think it’ll be fantastic. I’m pretty pleased thus far!
That’s the boat I’m in, so to speak! If you know of any good sysadmin or IT related communities out here, I’d very much so appreciate some recommendations!
I wish. Both at home and in the office, we rely on too many Windows-dependent applications that do not work on Linux.
I run Ubuntu as my main OS since I can kinda do what I want with my laptop at work and obviously control my personal laptop as well, but everything production-wise at work is Windows on the client side, and I still have a Windows PC for gaming for games that require anti cheat that isn’t supported on Linux.
I vastly prefer Linux but Windows is a far lower friction/barrier to entry for most.
