I’d take the approach of “flattening” compound words and joining them with the preferred style for the given language. Take your first one, for example:

strike-through off-set -> strikethrough offset

Python (snake_case): strikethrough_offset

Go (camelCase): strikethroughOffset

Rust type (UpperCamelCase): StrikethroughOffset … etc

I’ll preface this with: If you like Windows and don’t particularly care for Linux experiences, that’s ok. Not everyone needs to use Linux - the world is more interesting with variety.

For me, I hate when my computer does things that I don’t tell it to. I also hate ads. These, along with but really using it for a decade were deal breakers for me with windows.

Some things that Linux has that Windows does not:

• Native package managers: Realize that you need to use an image editor and don’t have one installed? You can just install it with your distro’s package manager. It will usually take care of any dependencies and make it easy to update or uninstall if you decide you want to. Some distros have particularly massive offerings in their package repos.
• Freely customizeable UI: Tired of how your system looks and want to try something else? Install a tiling window manager through the package manager. Or, maybe Gnome or KDE or XFCE. Huge amounts of customization in your GUI are possible.
• Programming: Interested in programming? Install some development tooling through the package manager.
• Embedded Programming: Interested in programming but want it to be more physically tangible or automate parts of your home? Setup the Arduino IDE, or Mu, or go old school and use vim/emacs. Then, compile and push it out to your microcontroller. Or, you can use something like Blinka on a Raspberry Pi or similar SBC and directly interact with sensors and devices across the built-in GPIO pins.
• Tinkering: Enjoy just poking about? The kernel being open-source means that its APIs are well documented and you can find lots of tools to tweak your system’s behavior or do so yourself.
• Job opportunities: The Internet runs primarily on Linux servers. If you’re interested in tech work, getting familiar with Linux can’t hurt.
• Tux: What is Windows’ mascot? A window? How about an awesome penguin? Distros and DEs often also have their own, like a chameleon, wildebeest, or dragons (2/3 of the examples can readily smash a window while the other one could at least get an E for Effort and scream at it in german).

For distros that work well with steam, I definitely suggest Linux Mint or Ubuntu for beginners. They’re just way more “batteries included”. However, if you could also give SteamOS, the distro developed by Valve (on top of Debian) a try and it will probably work quite well.

Most of all, have fun, whether you decide to take Linux for a spin or not.

If you don’t need UI, I prefer Podman. Rancher Desktop is good though.

A few ideas:

• a web page with beautiful CSS and possible animation
• LaTeX, for those into BDSM
• a game engine for an interactive “card”

Set minimum wage for any in-office position to match the amount required to purchase a house within 15 minutes average transit to the office.

Not pictured: Using a CA to properly administer certs because self-signed certs are not secure.

Certs do more than encryption in transit. They are also used for protection against MitM and authentication. Self-signing removes the ability to verify a cert’s authenticity.

That’s bullshit.

Nope. That’s the basics of PKI and scalable, secure, low-trust environments.

You are the one who issued the cert. You can add it to your list of trusted certificates. You just have to check that this is the right certificate.

You can indeed do these things. But, are you and your users going to verify every cert for every request and response? That’s a lot of unnecessary cognitive load and tedium, both of which are known to compromise judgement. Are you going to automate it? Ok then how are you going to verify the authenticity of a given cert?

Your man in the middle scare comes from users who ignore cert warnings and continue without checking anything.

Humans are not rational actors. Does everyone read the entire EULA? Not even close.

The problem with your statement, and why it is fallacious, is that you are not accounting for humans besides yourself. I’d even argue that you should also take your human nature into account because we all make mistakes.

Robust security postures do not require everyone to act perfectly but accept and plan for the fact that we’re fallible. That is why chains and webs of trust were created, so that humans and automated services can take an approach of deference towards a less mutable “expert” on whether a claim of authenticity is trustworthy - giving them the capability and responsibility of deciding this for themselves introduces unnecessary targets for exploits.

I’d find presence of more Czech topics on Lemmy great. However, I’m not Czech and I don’t speak the language, so, I’m not much help there, I’m afraid.

Maybe creation of an instance primarily focused on Czech topics, as we’ve seen from sie Germans, Canadians, and French Canadians?

I do intend to dig deeper into OSHW and eventually build a modern, fully open-source laptop eventually but, we’ll see if I can get there within the decade. Coreboot/Libreboot would definitely make the mainboard implementation a lot easier. Hopefully, Framework gets around to Coreboot support.
