For beginners here: do not run apt upgrade!! Read the documentation on how to upgrade properly.

Excellent article.

And there’s the issue. Guy is confused, and everyone is recommending him ten thousand distros. We need to understand that not everyone understands half of what we talk about more than half the time.

OP: just get mint, try it out, make a thread again in a couple months if you need help choosing another distro.

Three steps:

1. point the FQDN to your network (Dynamic DNS).
2. set up reverse proxy (Nginx, etc.)
3. set up certificates (Certbot, etc.)

Optional step 4: harden with fail2ban and a firewall.

Namana naanaa, bum darum du da… dadam da da!

That makes no sense.

Maybe don’t chase the FOTM distro and go for one of those who have stood the test of time?

Proprietary != evil. If he wants to make a living out of it, it’s a good choice to not fully share the source.

Unfortunately the vim game is subscription based.

Yeah, isn’t this fake news? Schleswig-Holstein in Germany are doing it, but I could not find any sources citing the same happening in Denmark.

In English.

As someone born in Iran, trying to reach family yielded the same results. An AI voice picks up the phone and talks about hope, but not in a religious or war timed thing, more budhist zen definition of hope. It’s surreal. Other than that, a discord server with almost 7k members had 20 people online (who are probably not in Iran). Communications have been almost completely been broken off.

Same boat. I put everything in Picard and let it analyze everything. It turned out about 95% perfect. Haven’t touched it since, and I’m using the metadata it generated.

The issue is also partially that of those migrating to Linux from windows, in that they try to match their experience, ignoring all the other features they now have acquired. Communities will come organically, when there’s enough people to warrant them. Lots of tech communities as Lemmy users are usually tech affine.

It’s fine if there is not a subreddit clone for everything here yet. Maybe it will come, maybe it won’t.

God bless those people. I hope for more like minded individuals to help them out, but I still would personally not wish for lemmy to have thousands of votes and comments per post. Quality over quantity for me personally.

I hope not. I hope that lemmy doesn’t grow any heavier than it is growing right now. The content is good, it’s enough, most threads have good comments. I don’t want this to become another Reddit. Lemmy is really good as is.

Idk about his audience, or if it’s because of my preaching, lots of my tech savvy students are making the switch to Linux or are at least gnucurious.

Then arch is not a good choice. If you don’t know how your arch distro works, it will break at some point and you won’t know how to fix it. That’s the issue.

I use not much and Emacs. I use msmtp and mbsync. I was going to recommend that. The only issue I have is that I can’t figure out how to sync my sent mails across my accounts. So that if I send a message via service a, it lands in the sent folder of service a. Do you have any tips for me?
