Adding

[global]
map to guest = bad user

to smb.conf and restart the service.

If that doesn’t work there are a few other suggestions in the thread.

I just mean that trying to apply the Nazi bar meme to an entire country because people are not immediately surrendering and fleeing the fascists seems kind of counter productive.

Who’s trying to flee? It’s the fascists that have to go

It’s super useful to make custom 3D prints.

I’ve been using a script to generate custom nameplates which are oriented such that the face is parallel to the build plate, so I can swap filament colors when it transitions from the nameplate to the name.

I could do this manually in CAD, but it would take a huge amount of time. Now I just edit a script file, alter a string or two and adjust some spacing values and get a ready to print model.

Pretty neat

OP is a newbie and is externalizing his lack of knowledge.

A 747 would seem like a death trap if a toddler were given control but there, as here, it isn’t the plane that’s the problem.

Coming from Windows, Linux (especially when only talking about GUI environments) seems to not tell you anything about your problems. Eventually you learn how to find the relevant logs and the problems seem less arbitrary.

Bluesky absolutely belongs in the left column.

It’s not Transparent, Decentralized or Open Source.

It is a centralized social media network exactly like Twitter. The only ‘open’ part is a protocol that lets you interact with their, private, service.

The fact that it is ‘open source’ is largely a red herring, if Bluesky decides to no longer support their protocol then it is worthless. It cannot simply be forked and remain useful.

Bluesky is simply engaging in a PR campaign to steal customers from Twitter. It is exactly the same as Twitter in all of the ways that matter. It can be purchased by Musk or manipulated by the existing owner in the same way as Twitter.

Making a Bluesky account is simply trusting a new corporation to not act like a corporation in the future… which is a pretty naive position.

Ecosia is not open source, or decentralized. It is a private search engine based in Germany that provides search results from the major search engines and sells advertisements via Yahoo and Microsoft ad networks. These ad networks are part of Surveillance Capitalism and earn their money primarily by spying on you, collating your data and selling it/using it to place ads.

Stremio is largely a piece of software used to funnel people into paying for monthly for pirate streaming services. It’s not getting rid of Netflix or Disney+, it’s giving you the option of paying Russian or North Korean supported cybergangs instead of Netflix for access to streaming content.

The real open source alternative is Jellyfin. Then using qBittorrent along with Sonarr and Radarr to self-host your own media server.

The other suggestions are mostly okay with minor gripes.

• They could add GrapheneOS as an Android alternative.
• Linux Mint is not a bad option but ‘What Linux Distro should we recommend to new people’ is a contentious topic in the community, Mint is fine but there are other options (EndeavourOS is Arch Linux installed with the Calamares graphical installer and some sane options for a desktop PC, btw)
• While Signal isn’t ‘open source’. It is, for the moment, a secure option that doesn’t require a lot of user knowledge to setup. It is a vastly superior choice than using social media for messaging without requiring a lot of technical knowledge on the user’s part.
