Droppie [infosec] 🐨:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird: :vegan:So there i was, pooterising away from my own home, on dad's pooter, inside the <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/KFedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KFedora</a> VM i'm still setting up, via <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/RustDesk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RustDesk</a> [which today has behaved much better than t'other day] when abruptly the connection failed & RD insisted that the remote pooter was offline. Cobblers, i said to RD, & kept on retrying, but it insisted. Same story. Bloody RD, i moaned, & launched <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/AnyDesk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AnyDesk</a> in spite. Wut, same story? Are you both ganging up on me? Rang dad, asked if by any chance he's just had a blackout. Erm, yes, sheepish reply came... he tripped a circuit breaker by having too many kitchen appliances on at once. And so it goes... <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/DadsPooterProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DadsPooterProject</a>

Better motivate myself therefore to do a bit more in the invidious <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/DadsPooterProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DadsPooterProject</a> dept. Sigh.

I have plans & workarounds to support all his desired fav SW, either natively in Linux, via acceptable Linux replacements, or by creating an un-networked win10 VM in his putative Linux... but none of that counts if i cannot also fully support his mandatory HW; printer & scanner in Linux, which so far, i cannot 😭<a href="https://infosec.space/@MsDropbear42/113821057171236531" translate="no" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://infosec.space/@MsDropbear42/113821057171236531</a><a href="https://infosec.space/tags/DadsPooterProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DadsPooterProject</a>

I feel a sense of gathering gloom... 😨 The corollary ofc is that if Test1 fails, the only remaining option is to proceed with accepting win10's persistent nagging finally, & do the upgrade to win11, with all the horrors that entails. 😱 I feel dirty already, sigh. <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/DadsPooterProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DadsPooterProject</a>
