I guess someone here said that Snowden is behind the times and his comments are not relevant? And try to downplaying something bigger that Snowden might suggest.

KDE Connect or LocalSend, you can even use tethering from Android without a wireless router.

Just use KDEConnect or LocalSend, it's not safe to use RDP to share files.

Cisco operates from the ISP side, they'll poison DNS through their routers. And you should be aware that your ISP will employ Deep Packet Inspection which can also be done with Cisco routers. That means they can intercept internet traffic, especially if your internet connection is not encrypted.

There is de-peering issues that might affect us when accessing mander.

I've also noticed this over the past few months, some times I couldn't access mander or it took a few minutes to load.

There's another overlooked issues regarding the slow federation. And I just found out a few days ago, there's de-peering drama since mid February that caused a huge of delays from APAC to Europe.

Around that time until now, I had trouble accessing some sites, like I couldn't access some github projects, f-droid repos also failed, and also some websites. I've tried cloudflare warp, it didn't help either.

And if I'm not mistaken our admin has a solution to this issue a while ago, you may ask Dave.

Mander is not the only instance having this issue. Other instances like lemmy.nz (it was), reddthat also aussie.zone, monyet.cc have similar issue since months ago. I assume the culprit is cogent's de-peering drama not from lemmy itself.

Woahh thanks a lot Dave! Very interesting thread, I'll try on my V14 first maybe also X240 later.

If you don't have another windows machine then I think it's a good idea to duel boot Windows initially. I've been running Linux as a daily driver the past couple of years but still occasionally do stuff in Windows. It's pretty rare these days, though!

Yup I was thinking to start familiarize myself with Linux as a daily driver. I still need Windows for some times, because of .xlsx files from work used a lot of formulas and VBA.

Damn, a 40-year-old man is a boomer and he became a minister. This really sucks..

Just bought Lenovo laptop, and thinking to start using Linux as daily OS, dual boot with Windows as I still need Lenovo Vantage.

I mean Taupo lake looks a bit low?
