This needs to become illegal and bear a bankruptcy inducing fine if repeatedly done.

We need to get rid of these monopolists

I agree with your second sentence. Thats what we need to change.

Thats a very cool perspective. I hadnt considered this. Everyone seems to be hating on linux‘s fracturization but it does remind me of evolution now that you mention it.

LibreOffice Calc is pretty good. Your company can invest in a fork and it should do what you need.

Then you‘re definitely in the wrong circle. Join a local computer club if that exists. Changes things dramatically.

Thats interesting! Thanks for elaborating.

I have never heard of it so I cant say if there is an alternative but I‘m pretty sure being vendor locked like this is MUCH more expensive than using a more complicated bit open solution in the long term.

Feel free to show a usecase where that is the case. the actual cost and opportunity cost of a vendor lock in is quite severe.

NC seems to either work completely or it doesnt, barely an inbetween there.

Its fine for me for two years and going. But I only have two users and maybe 200 GB of data. My 16 gigs of ram barely goes above 20%, my 4 thread oldschool xeon usually stays at <5% usage.

Doing sysadmin stuff for 20 yrs probably helps though.

20 yrs of experience rarely makes things worse I guess.

Have you tried installing literally any debian based system recently? Works without a single command.

haui_lemmy ,
@haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com avatar

Fair enough. Although technically the system works without that. Just not for long maybe?

haui_lemmy ,
@haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com avatar

Yeah no. Thats not the case for everyone. Debian itself also is a little more tricky than say pop!os.

I think the purists need to accept that users are valid too. :) good that some distros seem to understand that.

haui_lemmy ,
@haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com avatar

Exactly. I hope pop moves away from ubuntu at some point though.

Not saying its actually what happened but I would ask how he knew about the data.

Statistically, it should have been a random port scan that got in but since he‘s from the same country, he‘s either professionally or privately connected I assume. He either worked there in IT function, visited as a patient, dated an employee, etc.

So in other words, he‘s not a master hacker but probably stumbled across this. I had this with a webspace provider once were I could see all other customers folders when I used ssh instead of the web interface. I couldnt access them but I got a wiff of how stuff like this happens. 99.9% of their customers are inept at IT stuff so a mistake in ssh would never come up since customers wouldn’t use it and in that one case, they overlook it.

So, this might have been his first hack ever and it probably took a long time til he even understood what he had in his hands. Thats why I dont do stuff like this, I‘m prone to such mistakes as well. Most elaborate scheme imaginable and cc it by mistake to someone I know.
