The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

And yes, it is samba, but it’s the only thing I’ve used since it was set like that at default. Why would I look into other ways if it’s working just fine, exactly?

Nothing other than your own personal preference. Across a wide variety of contexts I personally find less headaches with SFTP, but YMMV. There are security and speed arguments, but IIRC there is a lot of variance to those arguments depending on how modern the SMB implementation is and how it’s config’d.

I have no idea why you can’t save your PW, I’ve done it this way since at least 2013, under several distros, on several different hardware setups, and have never had an issue having dolphin save my PW.

Are you in the “I disabled the KDE wallet because I wasn’t sure how to make it not annoying” crowd? It used to be much harder to work with. (I don’t even know if that’s the likely reason you have to keep putting your PW in, but I do use KDE wallet, and I never have to put mine in after initial setup in dolphin.)

Linux - Open Dolphin (or whatever) > Network > Add Network Folder/Find it > Enter creds > Does not automatically mount the drive when booting the computer back up > Must go into fstab to get it to automount > Stop, because that is ridiculous

I put into the dolphin path sftp://[email protected]. Then I give it my password, and check the box to save it. Then I right click any folder in the destination and do “add to places” and in the future I just navigate to it like a local folder.

I guess I’m supposed to do it a harder way? I’ve done essentially the same but with smb:// when forced to work with a samba share like an animal.

Remember folks, it doesn’t have to be the year, it only has to be your year.

Mine was about 19 years ago. I’m no genius, and I haven’t regretted it once. Linux has come a long way since then, while windows is deep in the enshittification trenches now, and has been for years. Your YOTLD can start today if you want it to. Tired of being actively abused by your OS? We’ve been here all along.

And if you are happy where you are, that’s fine too.

I’m so done, I’m out, forever.

Just out of spite I’ll be going windows again too

Hey this isn’t an airport, you don’t need to announce your departure.

I’m at about 19 years since switching - MS reaffirms my decision for me each and every year.

I love that all, thanks for sharing the story!

Oddly thematic.

Yes, but unlike some others, Plasma allows and encourages you to rearrange it to your heart’s content. Mine looks nothing like Windows.

That’s fair!

No FLOSS loving Linux user is dead to me, not even the GNOME project team, and frankly I suspect it’s noobies and non-users pushing these memes lately.

DOJ: Police Shooting Family Dogs has Become ‘Epidemic’

Cops in this country kill so many dogs each year that a specialist at the Department of Justice’s (“DOJ”) community-oriented program services office says it has become an “epidemic.” The DOJ estimates that around 25 to 30 dogs are killed by cops every day, with some numbers as high as 10,000 per year. The totals could, in fact, be higher, since most police agencies do not formally track officer-involved shootings involving animals.

Ah fair point!

And, frankly, this magazine is on notice. If it starts being 100% US politics it’s getting blocked as well. I have zero regrets about this new policy I’m implementing.

You say this like someone is going to change their behavior based on it. No one at all has regrets about you choosing to exercise the block early block often ethos of the fediverse. I salute your decision to control your own feed.

I’m sorry our politics is everywhere (sincerely) - I’m not going to stop talking about it though.

If his past performance + Project 2025 + Musk haven’t combined to convince you that the first win was a surprise to everyone and his handlers are far more ready this time around, you are as deluded as those who voted for him.

• Democrats spent four years trying not to piss off R too much by doing anything about Jan 06 (among other things), then 2 months trying to woo R votes

• R spent four years getting ready for this, and are ready to tear shit down. Shit will go downhill rapidly after Jan 20.

He’s worthy of our attention. Stupid and assholish or not, he’s literally the most powerful man on the planet (aside from Elon Musk) right now.

Infighting among all those trying to deploy him as their personal attack dog is about the most hopeful thing we have right now.–

ROFL.

I seriously wonder if a 30 days earlier event would have changed the outcome of the election.

That’s all well and good, but can we talk about proper use of this meme template?
