@adespoton @misk I'm surprised at how many otherwise intelligent people I know have installed the NOT_A_NAZI.EXE program.

I mean, it was pretty painfully obvious for multiple decades in-between our repeated attempts to market them where their singular focus lay.

@possiblylinux127 @ikidd Something sounds wrong there. I exclusively use LXC containers because I loathe docker and my containers boot basically instantly, and the networking is rock-solid.

@lent9004 @asbestos Holy crap, that looks like an awesome way to use Fresh. Thanks for posting it.

@gedaliyah If you're not married to managed cloud services, services like rsync.net or a Hetzner storage box work very well. They require more effort, but you have complete control and can do some fun things (like using rclone's crypt module with them). Plus rsync.net is super useful if your sources use ZFS.

Of the cloud providers, Backblaze is the one that anecdotally seems most popular.

@Lemjukes @Sunny It's a KVM that you access over IP. It's physically plugged into a machine's HDMI and USB ports so, unlike software solutions, it can be used to access the BIOS/UEFI and system functions prior to hitting the desktop (like login managers and recovery consoles), and allows you to boot other operating systems and the like. It can also act as a PXE host for loading disk images, issue Wake On LAN to its connected machine, and likely a bunch of other convenience functions.

@PugJesus I can't describe in text form how it feels seeing Poland lead the world in demonstrating how to shrug off fascism and rejuvenate their democracy.

Coupled with their incredible military history and current might, it makes me extremely NATOishly erect.

@BlackRoseAmongThorns @daisyKutter Swap is a place on disk that gets used as a slow, temporary place to put memory when your RAM is full. Windows uses a swap file on an existing partition, while Linux generally uses a dedicated partition instead (although you can use a swap file if you really want to).

Appropriate sizes for the swap partition are hotly debated. Twice the size of your RAM if you have a small amount, or the same size as your RAM if you have lots is a good approximation.

@vga @gravitas_deficiency Adhering to the much-flaunted spending commitments wasn't ridiculous, but Trump's framing of it was.

Back when he raised it, he was threatening to withdraw the US from the alliance if other nations didn't start adhering to it, and as recently as this year he's said he'll encourage Putin to do "whatever the hell he wants" to states who don't meet the spending commitment, directly undermining the collective defence principle of NATO.

@0x4E4F @Auli I think it's a bit more like, "We're banning specific named individuals from being maintainers because they work for companies on an international sanctions list."

@greedytacothief @AmbiguousProps How does Finamp compare?

@clark I don't know the Slim, but I wrote about Linux on my Yoga here: https://rhys.wtf/posts/sway-and-arch-with-yoga

Might be useful.

@zutto @warlaan Searching about, this was Plex banning the use of Plex on Hetzner's IP block, right? Not a decision made by Hetzner?
