Puppy has saved my ass multiple times. Love that tiny dog.

Speaking of Tails, a security minded user can also try out Qubes as well. It uses virtualization to separate different contexts like Work, Personal, Social, etc. You can have your Work profile connect to your workplace VPN while your Personal profile is on a torified connection in parallel. It does have its drawbacks, however. You need more system resources, and anything that requires direct access to GPU like videogames is not officially supported.

So we’ll have to say GNU/Linux/SystemD soon?

No problems running on the AMD graphics?

Let’s wait until 2050s.

It helps that Reddit along with other big platforms like FB absorbed all the traffic that in the old days would have been distributed into small separate forums. Not good for the ecosystem.

I’ve made the switch over a decade ago. Ubuntu was the gateway drug. I have to use windows at work, but that’s it.

I’m guessing there’s a reduced pool of desktop pc users, thus Linux users are now slightly bigger in proportion? There has been big advances regarding Linux adoption, too.

Social pressure is a real thing. I wonder just how many people in the US have iphones because of that dumb blue-green bubble stuff.

Similar here. I have switched to xfce after struggling with gnome and kde.

Linkedin is a cesspool and nothing but a dumpster fire. I wish I wasn’t pressured to joining it for job searches.

Let’s not mix NFTs into this.

I used Opera when it used Presto instead of becoming a yet another chromium. I miss that one.

Domain hacking is fun, but politics isn’t fun. Bit.ly got taken over by the Libyan government agency, FMHY.ml also had to start over after Malian government stopped Freenom from giving out free domains.

iddqd was a well known cheat code from the era, not exactly obscure if not contemporary.

And to think, the Q shit started on these sites.

There shouldn’t be, but that doesn’t mean it cannot be enhanced. Hopefully a popular feature from an extension can become integrated into official web clients.

Its very ingrained on me that a proper business should be able to spare a few on a domain for themselves, as I remember it before the dot-com bubble.

Now? Websites have been displaced by social media altogether and many small business simply prefer having an Instagram profile, for example.

Yeah, that’s what happens, something cool but that’s it. It would be nice if l could use it for something else other than a glorified online resume.

I also bought a cheap domain for experimenting around, so that’s where all my “not so professional” stuff goes.

It means many people are using lemmy.world instance to view your post instead of lemmy.zip or feddit.ro.

It should be perfectly doable. The only difference is that the server in on the local network (e.g. 192.168.1.101) instead of localhost (127.0.0.1). You might need to configure your OS firewall to let traffic through.
