@linuxxx These days you can get 250GB for less than €100,- :) (you can find prices on Tweakers.net: https://tweakers.net/categorie/674/...)

It's really, really bad. It even applies to the AIVD, the Dutch intelligence agency.

May the WiFi be with you

MS Word has a "save as pdf" option, maybe there is a way to call that? Otherwise, have you looked at Pandoc?

@SpencerBeige What? No! All editors support soft tabs, you press tab and 2/4/8/n spaces come out!

Leave that place and find something better. A work environment like that can be really depressing, causing someone to doubt his or her own skills. No matter how much money they throw at you, it isn't worth it.

I dare say that the work environment is more important than the actual work itself, so go find yourself a place were you fit in! You said you already got an offer. Maybe that offer still stands?

@linuxxx Did you already check this page of the NetData wiki? https://github.com/firehol/netdata/...

Instead of running it behind another webserver, I've bound Netdata to localhost. Then I use ssh local port forwarding to connect to the server and access Netdata.
This might not be perfect for every situation, especially if multiple people have ssh access to the server, but not everyone should be able to view Netdata.

@lotd Maybe both? The hardware is a single core of an Intel Xeon with 1G RAM, but it was in this 100% state for almost 13 hours straight.

Yup, that's NetData. For those interested, here is a link to the Github repository: https://github.com/firehol/netdata

@bendr I was running a webcrawler and a database on this system.

It would also be awesome to have more hairstyles for men with long hair. I usually wear mine in a ponytail or bun :)

When you actually know that one guy that has Wine on his Linux with the sole purpose of using notepad++

@santartine You should check out Ansible

@anekix These days ads are almost always targeted. This means a considerable amount of data is collected about you to provide this targeting. Ads often include additional tracking code for this purpose. This has very serious consequences for ones privacy, one of the major reason I block most ads. And no, I don't use Google services either if I can help it.

Another reason is that ads are notorious for spreading malware, if the ad platform is compromised, all the sites serving those ads are then also serving malware. In my country, the Netherlands, major news site have spread malware multiple times through ads in the past.

@tkenn20 You know your whole system is falling apart when even Ctrl-Alt-F* doesn't work 😓

@ALivingMemory Ziggo Go in the Netherlands

Internet Explorer has it's uses. Where I live, one of the major ISPs is still using Silverlight for their on demand streaming platform. Edge blocks Silverlight, Chrome blocks Silverlight, Firefox does allow it if you install the plug-in, but Internet Explorer runs it out of the box!

It's basically as discontinued Microsoft product party 🎉

@LicensedCrime Don't you need the .NET runtime for your C# app? Or (depending on how you compile) the Visual C++ Redistributable for C/C++ on Windows?

@redstonetehnik Woo-hoo! Thanks :)

@redstonetehnik you're right, thanks for this post as a nudge in that direction! :)

@ramisa I can relate,I'm not really talkative here either... Guess I'm a little afraid (maybe I post a rant and the person about which I rant recognizes it, or people find it lame)

@flag0 I had something similar with my laptop, so I bought a new battery. Works great again :)

@linuxxx Mmm, never been there. I'm from de HAN in Arnhem and the Montessori College in Nijmegen before that.

Possible, I'm also from the Netherlands. Which school?

@n1had They built their own: the Deepin desktop environment (DDE).
