One option the board will weigh Wednesday is to move up the entire timeline on charging full fares to the line. Another is to add a 50-cent fare just on beach-bound routes west of downtown; transit authority CEO Brad Miller said he believes that a nominal fare, not payable by cash, would dissuade homeless riders.
They also want it to be a non-cash payable fare. Just to make it harder for homeless people to use the bus.
My wife is basically tech illiterate and has 0 desire to ever use something that doesn’t just work out of the box. We’ve moved some of her software to foss (darktable over Lightroom due to their stupid subscription only model) but she’s really only comfortable on a MacBook and even then only after I’ve set the whole thing up and maintain software/os updates.
macOS also sucks for smb file shares so I have a FreeBSD jail that just does xrdp and ssh X-11 forwarding (better color matching for photos this way) and she runs a script disguised as a desktop shortcut to run her apps. The script launches an ssh session and pops up a simple program I wrote that just lists available apps like darkroom. Gives her native file speeds and 0 need to understand anything related to the OS. My rambling point here is unless you set it up so the SO doesn’t need to learn it’s likely to fail and in return you’ll be responsible for all of the maintenance. Unless you’re ok with that it’s probably not a good idea
Agreed. It’s not a safety issue it just won’t use the full drives capacity until they replace the other smaller drives
Or MacOS. They've made it seem like those are the only two options besides chromebooks which are just for those who don't want to spend money.
It runs fine on mine
They just updated it to say the 98 year old co-founder died “because of stress related to the raids.”
I use moonlight occasionally and it will let me login including for the first time when using nvidias drivers for the server if that is what you’re looking for
FreeBSD has had kde on riscV for a bit now, if they can do it I can’t imagine Debian et all will have much issue once they get the ball rolling.
If you utilize logins something like fail2ban would be a good addition, as well as something for anti-malware/hacking/injection prevention etc. when I had a public Nextcloud I had Apache set up with mod-security with the owasp rule set loaded.
The biggest risks of hosting something public at home besides ddos attacks is scripts that get regularly run against any open port they can find on the internet that if successful could encrypt your data for ransomware etc. I personally realized this was all just for me and the wife and running the services through a vpn (ZeroTier was fantastically easy to set up) removed most of the risk while letting us access remotely
Edit: ddos protection would also be adviseable I think cloudflare might have that built in though
When we lived in Missouri the power went out twice ish a year, sometimes more. Amazing how fragile that stuff is when nobody invests in the infrastructure for the town.
The FreeBSD handbook is amazing for this! IMO the best guide out there for an operating system
Yup. The whole point is to separate/disenfranchise the poor from the rich. Not enough money charged to care, but set up in a way that those who would likely need the bus the most would struggle.
