"Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches," Ballmer said, back before Linux had metastasized into the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Nice writing.

Cmake tends to be the upgrade path for sure, gradle is... hideous, i have having to use it for android.

Sorry, no. The freaking board is there for a single purpose – show flights. This bs just adds an extra step for information that should be immediate and, for passengers, is kinda urgent. This is just to grab datapoints for ads like any useless app.

Remote WiFi anal plugs have entered the chat.

I prefer when I see BSODs on those.

The Android kernel?

My 2004 FZ6 has a dip stick.

Just keep in mind it's a path, take your time.
Also, what may be important to you may not be for someone else and vice-versa, so look up and read up on threat modeling. This should probably be first on your list.

mini pc before the isp modem to filter dns

You mean after the modem and before your network? Then that solution is feasible, otherwise it really depends how The Net enters your domicile, odds are coax or fibre...
You may be able to flash your modem+router+switch black box the ISP provides, but YMMV on that one.
Regardless, you can set-up that mini pc inside your network as the authoritative DNS server to act as a DNS sinkhole — i.e. using a PiHole.

I have a pc w dual boot

Suggestion: linux-only with windows inside a virtual machine; other virtual machines can be used for self-hosting also.

backup data

Use 3-2-1 and make sure your backups are working.
Look into RAID and LVM or, better yet, ZFS.

dell optiplex

Lenovo Thinkpads tend to have a following in linuxland, but that's personal preference.

What am I missing? Where should I look?

Techlore has a series of videos on the topic and, along with the new oil, they have a weekly video on security and privacy. Non-tech-friendly. There are quite a few podcasts on these topics.

You can further your privacy by using frontends to common abusive sites (which i link to, sorry), such as invideous for youtube, etc.

A programming language is always interesting, linux is mostly based on C and it's not a bad start. I'll duck for cover now. Shell scripting — bash in particular — will get you a long way, as well a command-line text editor to change config files.

Obviously, most of that money goes to the person operating the scam.

And the scammers themselves are often forced labor.

[–] 0x0@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yes, its mostly older people that are alone that fall for this type of scam.

I'd wager that's not the most represented demographic in the fediverse... and neckbeards tend to know better.

Pressing ó is far less intuitive than ´ + o... hard pass.
