Canadian Electrician here. I have zero idea what a schuko is, but could you not just buy a proper cord end from a hardware store and just replace the end of the cord instead of using adaptors? We can usually get replacement cord ends at most hardware stores for only a couple dollars and they don’t require much effort or electrical experience to replace.

Often these adaptors are cheaply made anyways and sometimes burn up.

I’ve only used KDE until recently because it’s pretty familiar feeling after coming from windows, but my wife recently put gnome on her laptop and she loves it. I’ve used it a bit, and besides just being unfamiliar I do actually like it.

From my understanding nobody knows. The DOJ said it was already removed, but the NYTimes claimed they found 40 images of CSAM. The DOJ said they immediately removed them Saturday, but a lot of files that didn’t contain CSAM were also removed. I’ve extracted the 101GB torrent and haven’t come accross any yet, but there’s a ton of files in there too. People have yet been able to download the entire ZIP and are trying to scrape everything individually as far as I know.

As for the legality, I’m not a Lawyer and I don’t live in the states, but It’s all information that’s been released to the public by the US DOJ as required by a court order, so it’s a call that only you can make. With the amount of data that’s already disapeared I’m personally choosing to host it regardless, and I’ll seed whatever anyone else can salvage of dataset 9 too.

I’m downloading 8-11 now, I’m seeding 1-7+12 now. I’ve tried checking up on reddit, but every other time i check in the post is nuked or something. My home server never goes down and I’m outside USA. I’m working on the 100GB+ #9 right now and I’ll seed whatever you can get up here too.

Its been 8-10 months I think. I haven’t had any major problems that weren’t caused or complicated by my own ignorance of Linux as a whole. I’ve learned a lot. I have gotten every game I wanted to play so far to run, one way or another. I set up my own home lab server for streaming and cloud storage complete with a VPN to allow remote access. I have also set up a Windows VM for some stubborn software that my partner uses from time to time (I honestly thought this would be harder than it was.) I also am in the process of indoctrinating several coworkers. I’m currently running 1 PC with Bazzite, 1 with fedora KDE, 2 with Mint, and a server running Ubuntu server and using casaOS as an interface.

I’ve really enjoyed the learning curve. My future plans were to change my server from CasaOS to something else, and to build a new gaming PC and try CachyOS, but that might get put to the side while hardware prices cool off a bit.

I had been thinking about it for a while. I had played with linux before on an old laptop, but not seriously, though I had been getting more frustrated with windows every time it updated it seemed. I then got the urged to play an old game of mine that i had picked up on a steam sale recently that i hadn’t played in years. It took hours of tinkering and web sleuthing to get it to run, then i played 20 min had to run to town, so I shut down my PC and bam. Windows update. Game no longer worked again. The next weekend I installed Linux mint, then Fedora, then the weekend Bazzite the weekend after that. The game I wanted to play on windows worked right out of the box on Proton. I’ve had less problems overall with Linux than Windows too. Most of the problems I did have early on were also self inflicted. Pro-tip don’t try to remove then re-install the lastest python manually in mint. It breaks everything apparently, luckily (unlike Windows) its very easy to re-install. It’s been about 7 months now.

Same. Haven’t had any problems.
