debian on my server. it’s rock solid. I run a LOT of shit on it, and it rarely cracks about 4-5 GB RAM out of 32GB.

I remember a study from a few decades ago that said pirates are often spending MORE on media than non-pirates, because they’re able to branch out and experiment with more media, then buy the media, instead of sticking to what they know and just buying the same old shit. I don’t know how to explain it. But pirates tend to spend more than non-pirates, allegedly. I’ll try to find the study.

found something already: https://www.vice.com/en/article/study-again-shows-pirates-tend-to-be-the-biggest-buyers-of-legal-content/

I remember having to fuck around with master/slave configurations with drives. So many headaches were had trying to get them in the right order. Those were the days heh.

By some measures, it hasn’t even left the solar system yet.

I was alive when computer RAM was measured in MB, not GB. Yes, I am an old codger

hopefully he moves to the threadiverse, though it is unlikely.

Ugh. Is there anything that’s NOT vibe coded :/

if you want self hosted, FreshRSS is the gold standard.

if it’s a work phone, sure, I can understand. but if it’s a personal phone, do NOT conduct any work related stuff on it. Especially do NOT install any apps from. likewise, do NOT do any personal stuff on a work phone. Keep them completely separated. Just my 2c

one thing i really really hate is videos/screenshots of instructions. I just want to read text damn it! i can only imagine how much more frustrating it is being visually impaired.

nothing wrong with yunohost. We all started out as noobs at one point in time. My advice though: Don’t think that’s the end point. Branch out when you have motivation/time/etc, and see what happens. The best way to learn is to break shit, then have to fix it. at least IMHO

Who the actual fuck would install an app from lying scum dumpy? Holy shit.

ah, I thought so. you fooled us all :)

oh, I thought this was a circlejerk post. Sorry haha.

Assuming it’s serious, I’d use perhaps ubuntu or linux mint or something. Just to dip your toes in. An “easy” linux distro. Before you know it, you’ll be doing LFS.

If you have enough space on your drive (or, preferably, a second drive), you can dual boot with windows. I’d probably do that first, then when you reach a point that you hardly ever use windows, blow that shit away. there are some guides online how to install it dualbooted, and there will be (and are) some good instructions here

You need to buy a key from LinuxKeysRUs.com

I use tugtainer for managing updates to containers (not automatic). and aside from that, I just apt upgrade every so often.

there’s also the fact that hackers probably don’t know I’m hosting it. Where as bitwarden hosted makes for a very very juicy target

vaultwarden != bitwarden. VW is a complete rewrite. they can’t stop vaultwarden.

THE reason why i use apple is because I’m not subjected to ads. Is there any point using apple anymore if they’re going to inject ads? Holy shit, Time to go back to android if we’re gonna get ads and instead pay less for a phone.

Yup. The first thing i do when i get a new machine/reinstall MacOS/iOS is to change it from google. Fuck google so fucking hard. Anyone who uses Google deserves what they get knowing how much of a shitstain company they are. Apple isn’t that much better, but they are slightly, SLIGHTLY better.
