So frustrating. I’ve installed it on a few PCs to access remote desktop services and I can’t figure out how. The old app says to use Windows app as it’s going EoL. Ok. But how? Looks like it’s meant to connect to windows 365 only … or ik a total idiot.

I think you should cruise this guy’s channel:

He’s very fair and uses all operating systems. I’m almost certain he’s had a video on this exact question.

I know I’ll get down voted for this, but from that site:

"Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer.

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?"

Kind of a sensationalized statement. I’ve upgraded tons of machines from 2015 and newer to windows 11 without issues. Sure, not all of them, but I’d say a majority of them, and the “upgrade” is free.

I guess I wanted to point out this piece isn’t as doom and gloom as it seems.

For shits and giggles I tried using copilot on windows 11 on my brand new x1 carbon laptop.

Seeing those fucking loading bars they use for Microsoft 365 admin centers pulse for like 10 seconds was enough to make my blood boil.

It’s bad enough they shove it everywhere, but do they have to make it also so fucking shitty?

Then I Alt tabbed to Chatgpt and all was well.

I fucking hate how I can’t listen to my music libraries in the main app now. I have a separate profile for other people in the house and I can’t switch profiles with plexamp.

I also think Plex probably has open vulns and it’s also a more known target. The nail that sticks out furthest gets nailed down.

That port changing stuff is way outdated and hasn’t been effective for a long time.

Ya for personal use the whole libre office suite is way more than what I need. I think everyone should be using it unless they are in an office setting and have special cases like what you’ve mentioned.

I felt my comment was rational based on the information presented, just trying to understand. I’m surprised it made you so unhinged.

I’m also not really sure why some random internet handle/username has set you off, it’s not like my username is “I_drop_then_ship_yo_HDDs_lol”.

This is a weird post, the HDD boxes are already packaged in a way that works well for shipping. Also the retailer doesn’t necessarily ship the package either. I think you’re asking more about shipping companies.

There is always a risk. Nothing is 100% secure. It’s low but the risk is there. Noobies also make configuration mistakes which can impact security severely.

Don’t forget about heart bleed, the openssl vulnerability that went undetected for years.

My home shit is also not funded by a Corp with all kinds of fancy threat detection and prevention stuff. I don’t have the time or desire to deal with it, nor do I need to serve other users, only my own needs. Therefore vpn is more secure.

Is your web server set up to use a domain? Like if you’re using Apache vhosts or anything, I’m pretty sure you need to configure your domain in there too, and then restart the web server.

As others have said, close port 80. I actually stopped exposing ports a while back. I just configured always on vpn on my phone instead. Much more secure.

What did I just read?

That’s the silver lining 🤣

I already self host and have some of those services, and do always on vpn. I just haven’t found a reliable method to rip my Spotify playlists since the API went down. I used to just cron job it, so my plex was in sync and use plexamp on my phone.

I don’t know what all of these are but surely it can’t be at search some song and tap and listen?

Ah, the playing of numbers. They could really spin this any way they want. The best way is to say the fee is the fee, and if it’s too much then don’t pay it. The purpose is to attempt to point the finger at all the other bullshit.

I’ve been happy with joplin, I leave it on my nextcloud

So a windows application, or “Windows app” AKA remote desktop? Smh at Microsoft…

This, I just leave mine on next cloud.
