Lemmy Reddit That

It’s not work as a company, but work I do in the company, that is preventing me from using linux. I am software delevoper, and we are developing desktop WinForms and WPF apps. The main problem here is that both WinForms and WPF are tied to Windows, and they are not working on any other OS. We would love to port those programs to another platform, but you can’t just port programs that are developed 10+ years overnight. Those project are just too big to port them in some normal time. And there are also 3rd party libraries, that we are required to use, that are made for .NET Framework only. I forgot to mention, that we are using .NET Framework, that is working only on Windows. We could use opensource .NET, which works also on Linux, but even in opensource .NET, both WinForms and WPF works only on Windows. We could use Avalonia instead, because it supports Linux also, but even that is not just straight forward. It would be easier to just create new programs from scratch, but you would still need to support older software, and we just don’t have time nor resources to do that.

It’s not always so simple. I would love to use Linux at work, but my work doesn’t allow me to.

Never understand why anyone would want to buy their music in the first place. I got tired of music really quickly, so buying would be waste of money for me, since, after some time, I won’t be listening to music I bought. For me, renting music is better than buying. And sometimes I would just like to find some new music, since I’m tired of listening to the same old s*it. Just give me something random, something new, I newer heard before. But that’s just me, and I believe this is not for anyone.

I think the feeder is not a problem. We mostly scan documents. I will look into those brother printers when the one we currently use stops working

I would consider printing in shops, but we are in countryside and driving almost an hour to nearest city is just not worthy.

I would rather pay a little bit more for toner if it works. I am serously thinking about color laser printer when my printer stops wokring. I was looking at some brother color laser printer for around 250€ which is not a lof if this stuff works. Photo quality isn’t important for me, so I thinks this could work for us.

EDIT: Also, what about scanner? Does those laser printers have an scanner option?

My mother is teacher and she needs to often print at home (when she is not at the school anymore). Print shop would be the best option, but we are in country side and driving almost an hour to nearest city is just not worth.

Like I said in one of the previous comments, I would love to buy laser printer, but sometimes we still need to print at home with colors.

When I’m on Linux (most of the time), I’m using Libre Office, but sometimes I have to open some word document in Microsoft Office, because Libre Office don’t open it correctly.

I don’t play games and I don’t use expensive software (ok, beside Windows and Office). Mostly I don’t use my computer when I am not at work. I have other hobbies and I have enough of computer at work (I am a software developer). I only pirate movies and tv shows. I don’t even pirate music. I just use YouTube music, with turkish family account (it’s the cheapest, around 1,20€ - 1,80€ per month for 6 accounts). I was using Netflix, but since they started blocking account sharing I stopped using Netflix. It’s too pricey for how much I watch movies and tv shows. For Windows I usually download iso from microsoft, and find activator on mydigitallife forum. If I need to download some software (like Office for example) from some torrent tracker, I am lucky we have local private tracker that is known and used by whole country.

I didnt know about qBittorrent Remote App. I have to try it when I got home. Flood is missing some functionalities and it looks like it’s not maintained anymore. Also, I need to check this Nzb360 app. Thanks for suggestions.

For me, prowlarr works much better together with qBittorrent, sonarr and radarr. + Add Flood to the list for easier mobile friendly UI for qBittorrent.

I have made an image. One sd card already died, but it worked for a long time. It was at least readonly, and I get most of the files off (I had backup, but I wanted to get the most latest files). Movies and series are on 5TB hard drive, so I don’t have to worry about that. But are usb sticks really more reliable? My friend is using home assistant and he moved data partition to usb stick, just becaues he heard usb sticks are more reliable than sd cards, but not long after that, usb stick stopped working.

Transcoding is also turned off in my case. But I couldn’t get used to Jellyfin. I tried, but I just couldn’t.

Everything is running on Pi. But I have Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB of ram. Actually I have Raspberry Pi 400, which is basically 4GB variant of Raspberry Pi 4, with slightly overclocked CPU and passive cooling, inside small keyboard, but I only got that because Raspberry Pi 4 was out of stock.

I have all of these programs running on raspberry pi, including Flood (mobile friendly UI for qBittorrent, also supports Deluge), and plex media server. It can’t be easier to watch movies and tv shows that way.

Yeah, I think shift + refresh button clears the cache for that page. At least that’s my experience with web development

I wasn’t using webpage, I was only using mobile app (Connect). Could my coockie be also stolen that way or was that only possible on webpage?
