VicFic!
idk, just your average failure who hasn’t touched grass in a while.
Buy a dishwasher!
tbh, I’ve only had limited experience with MacOS, and it wasn’t very great (compared to my Linux setup), and afaik this is the general consensus among technically inclined people.
About the pricing model, it’s ridiculous is everyway, not just for repairs. Like, you can get a laptop/PC with almost double the spec compared to what apple has to offer at that price.
All this is said without considering the fact that apple stuff costs almost twice the price in my country (India).
Apple is a snobby company with terrible overpriced repair. All of their products are heavily locked down wildly expensive milled aluminium.
Sure the new m1 chip is good but the amount of vendor lock in is too much and of course mac OS is a trash bsd distro. TLDR: overpriced products, trashy company.
The selection of which software to use heavily depends on the scope of your project as well as the knowledge of the people maintaining it. As a rule of thumb, always choose the more minimal one over the complicated feature rich one. Most of these software are over engineered anyway.
Anyway, If it’s just communication, use IRC! It’s easy setup an IRC server and install clients on all the devices in the community.
Or if you are aiming for survival, use radio. Like have a proper ham radio setup, it’s much more resilient and reliable (survival stuff is best be kept low tech.)
I’m sorry I have zero knowledge about intranet/extranet stuff. Ig if requires setting up your own like routers and direct wiring between the two communities.
There is a launcher called salwyrr which has Linux support. Iv tried it and it worked for me.
btw, i too use arch.
What? This is obviously fake.
… right?
