Just completed a 1500km trip across France & Spain using AndroidAuto + #CoMaps instead of GMaps. Except for the search engine that is less complete than Google Maps, the guiding was top notch!! One step closer to fully #degoogle my life! Great work #OrganicMaps #CoMaps devs https://www.comaps.app

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Mastodon can do it.

Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments

Freelancers/contractors: get in the comments

Everyone else: boosts appreciated.

The market is *dead* for freelancers and a big part of that (in my opinion) is fragmentation. Let's get that network effect *back*.

Lokjo - a European online map (@lokjo@mapstodon.space)

Moin moin Europe! And we're carefully back online again, with a few exceptions. https://www.lokjo.com First, a huge thanks to https://www.geoapify.com for understanding the situation and delivering tiles while we fix a replacement. There's 3 exceptions, for the moment: - A basic OSM map display. (modern version comes back later) - No satellite images. (if somebody knows a EU provider that would be great) - the feedback form is taken offline. (no time for that) That's all for now.

The End (of Windows 10) is nigh!

On 14 October, #Microsoft will end support for #Win10.

This will turn hundreds of millions of computers that cannot upgrade to #Win11 into security risks and #eWaste.

Yours may be one of them!

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

Walrus 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿May 28

Has anyone seen an article on how to prevent Microsoft from accessing OUR Windows 10 machines? I'm especially interested in letting it have full access to our ethernet system, but no access to the internet. The searches I tried were all defeated, by results on how to do the opposite...

Nihils Pilz May 28

@Walrus @Endof10

One way I could imagine is via the router and the computers MAC-address (which identifies hardware): telling it to firewall it from the internet, but allow access to the LAN (local home network).

Walrus 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿May 28

@Nihils @Endof10

Yes, I expect there is such a mechanism. What is needed is a tool with an understandable interface, that can just set that up. I'm happy with editing the registry, but surely someone has written something to do it......

GunChleoc May 28

@Walrus @Nihils @Endof10 Search for "cmd" to open Windows' command line program

Type ipconfig

This will get you the network information of the computer

Then log in to the Router's admin interface using your browser. You will get a graphical user interface there. What this will look like will depend greatly on your router.

@Endof10 my cpu may be old but I'm running llm's locally on my 3060 12 GB and getting work done all day. For Microsoft this pc is trash... Just a question... Why?!??
I would consider trash those 4 gig machines that "run" W11 with really weak hardware.
I already have Debian installed and plan to cut off W10 from the network to keep it safe for the very little work I cannot do on Linux.
Behold #theLinuxYear

Eli Cameron May 28

@Endof10 Had to buy & install a TPM module (£18) in order to upgrade my Dad's machine to Windows 11.

Azarilhⓥ May 28

@EliMuso You could actually skip that dependency, tho it could be tricky.

I think they removed the dependency officially now, from the iso only.

Eli Cameron May 29

@Azarilh It's a very grey area, that one. Been reading up on it a lot, got thoroughly confused & then bit the bullet - it's only £18.

Azarilhⓥ May 30

@EliMuso It is cheap, yea.

Indy Richard 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿May 28

@Endof10 It really annoys me when tech firms drop support for existing products no doubt hoping we'll all upgrade our perfectly serviceable desktops and laptops. Their attitude to waste in a World with limited resources is frightening. No wonder capitalism is struggling to deal with Climate Change.

Nic3 May 28

@Endof10 can you explain where i can see the number of my windows? Not sure if I have 10 on my refurbished laptop :-)

Quinn9282 🖥️🌙✌️May 28

@Nic3 @Endof10 You can find that information in the Settings app > System > About, and on the "Edition" line under the "Windows specifications" section it should say the Windows version followed by the edition you're running (i.e. "Windows 11 Home", "Windows 10 Pro", etc.).

Fell May 29

@Nic3 @Endof10
1. Hold down the Windows key, then press R
2. A window with a text box should appear.
3. Type: winver
4. Press return.
5. A window should appear, containing all the details about your current windows version.

Pam C May 28

@Endof10 Already planning to move to Linux and at the moment, leaning towards Mint. My Laptop and my desktop both are capable of running 11 but I tried it and hated it so I'm not upgrading.

wrath0110 May 28

@Endof10 so I am one with no path forward after win 10 ends support. I have a couple of possible options, opinions anyone? 1) Switch to Linux mint and take my chances for gaming with windows emulation, or, 2) dual boot win 10 and Linux mint, or, 3) install Linux mint and run win 10 in a virtual machine, or, 4) install Linux mint and buy a steam deck, hoping that all of my retro gaming can be accommodated.

Fell May 29

@wrath0110 @Endof10 Install Linux Mint. It's really hard to break. Steam is available right away in the software manager. You can check how well your favourite games run beforehand on https://protondb.com

JuleLe⁂May 30

@wrath0110 what @fell says.
A lot (most) of games run well on Linux with steam.
Protondb is as great resource.

kookster May 30

@wrath0110 @Endof10

FWIW, the main trouble spots for Linux gaming are titles with certain anti-cheat solutions (take a look at https://areweanticheatyet.com/ for more information). You'll also run into issues with certain productivity suites not running easily/well, e.g. MS Office, Adobe, etc., but there is alternative software depending on your needs. Besides that, most games run surprisingly well, and the experience as a whole is pleasant if it works for you.

Are We Anti-Cheat Yet?

Elischeva Jun 13

@wrath0110 @Endof10

If it is about Retrogaming, there is Batocera, a specialized Linux-Distro for exactly that. More current games are more likely an issue. But It's mostly about Anticheat. Other options are modding Anything Ubuntu or Nobara. Or, if you are techy enough, Arch Linux. Steam works on And Desktop Linux quite fine. And the Steamdeck effectively runs an Arch Linux. So, its a Matter of comfort with initial configuration. At the end it will work either way.

A Windows VM is only an Option, if you really need (means no proper replacement Option, whichbos really rare in the meantime) a Software, which doesn't run with wine, no matter how hard you try.

If you have one or two of the problematic Games, I would keep a dual boot Windows-Linux.

Steve Hersey May 28

@Endof10
I'm unconvinced that the end of formal Win10 support will turn remaining systems into security risks.

On the one hand, any as-yet-unpatched vulnerabilites WILL remain.

On the other hand, none of Microsoft's new Win11 fuckery will be backported to Win10, mitigating the additio0n of new vulnerabilities. Win10 has been under scrutiny for years, while Win11 is still pretty much a V1.0 product, as shown by Redmond's ongoing blunders..

On the gripping hand, operating a Win10 system behind a firewall, using an up-to-date browser, adblocker, and antivirus package, and avoiding dodgy Web sites and unverified downloads - all the normal security practices of a sensible computer user - should reduce the residual risk to threat levels comparable to a Win11 system, if not better.

Lupo_Bavaria May 28

@Endof10 Dear all, install Linux Mint, Libre Office and Thunderbird on you PC and avoid any stress and cost. I purchased a used Laptop 6 years ago and it works fine with Linux today.

Mike Torr May 28

@Endof10 Slightly disappointed to find that this is about Linux. Not for myself - it would be a great solution for me - if I used Windows! But sadly my elderly mother is on W10 on an old laptop and there's no way I can teach her to use Linux I'm afraid. Too much upheaval :(

fll🫨May 29

@macronencer There is also the possibility of skipping or loosening the compatibility checks, and then upgrading to 11 on machines that do not fit the official requirements of Microsoft.

Here's one example article/guide that teaches how to do that: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/bypass-windows-11-tpm-requirement

Edit: For others: As someone who loves using Linux, I'd recommend giving Linux a try if you can, but of course there's also many for whom that is not an option.

But that TPM requirement isn't a real technical requirement? It's literally a trivially bypassable if statement
