Red Hat 4, father say me down on one of his Frankenstein computers built out of his trash heap in our basement and told me to have fun. I found tux racing konquest and played the shit out of them

One of the biggest downsides of a VPN; you share an exit node with lots of other people, only takes one bad actor to get your exit node ip banned

Problem

Still has a lot of the same underlying issues discord has. It’s not indexable being the biggest. The reality is that services like stack overflow or an issue tracker like bugzilla, or your local git services issues section or discussion section, hell even something like discourse or even mailing lists, just work better. If someone made an im service that could be indexed by search engines and the like, now we’d be talking. Opensorce design and discussion doesn’t really benefit that much from closed ecosystems and end to end encryption in most cases.

I guess though at least with matrix someone could make a service that acts as a client and indexes content from a list of channels or something…

Discord, matrix, slack and telegram are where documentation goes to die in the current state of things though.

Holy shit, a Christian who actually stidies the Bible… You’re basically a unicorn.

Romans 2:14;15 is my favorite thing to point out to the you’re going to hell because you’re not a Christian crowd. So baby of them like to preach that God is all loving and good and then are so quick to point out that because they pay lip service to their faith that they get to go to heaven and everyone else goes to hell despite them being obviously terrible people.

I like to think there are a lot more like you and your type just tends to be the silent majority because it let’s me keep some faith in humanity…

Or some other melting cheese like jack. For sure though American cheese or Velveeta are fantastic melting cheeses for a good cheese blend.

Today I learned Italy is the Ohio of Europe.

Start looking into selenium, probably in Python. It’s one of the easier to understand forms of scraping. It’s mainly used to web testing, though you can definitely use it for less… nice purposes.

You can configure software rescaling using xrandr and some scripts… But that can cause a massive amount of jank with anything that requires a degree of pixel accuracy

Kubernetes uses cri-o nowadays. If you’re using kubernetes with the intent of exposing your docker sockets to your workloads, that’s just asking for all sorts of fun, hard to debug trouble. It’s best to not tie yourself to your k8s clusters underlying implementation, you just get a lot more portability since most cloud providers won’t even let you do that if you’re managed.

If you want something more akin to how kubernetes does it, there’s always nerdctl on top of the containerd interface. However nerdctl isn’t really intended to be used as anything other than a debug tool for the containerd maintainers.

Not to mention podman can just launch kubernetes workloads locally a.la. docker compose now.

I dunno, a lot of gen z and millennials probably use them when fabricating parts for things that you can’t get them for. I know I do for my printer.

Try using an alternative dns. Some isps DNS servers don’t know how to direct a .zip tld

From the 2 developers and The volunteers… The same can be asked about a lot of foss software. Typically what stabilizes foss development though is when developers start getting paid to contribute to the project by a company they work for, however lots of foss software has made it purely through donations (easiest example being mediawiki and wikipedia)

Web hosting is definitely the harder question. In the grand scheme of things, lemmy instances and other fediverse tech will likely end up being pseudo-centralized with a handful of companies like email. Lemmy is very resource intensive as you guessed. The good news is that a very large amount of that resource consumption is storage, and storage is cheap. Though I know I’ve seen tehdude, the owner of the sh.itjust.works instance, another very stable one, comment on how CPU, networking and memory intensive a busy instance can get. A lot of the early 500s instances were seeing were definitely caused by resource constraints.

You actually can, you just append @lemmy.world to the community name when accessing from another instance that’s federated with lemmy.world and once lemmy.world comes back up your contributions will be there. Any instance that’s federated with the instance your posting from will be able to participate in the discussion with you for that matter. The only thing you can’t do with a community when the host instance is down is subscribe to it. It would still get added to your subscriptions though if you try, the hosting insurance just won’t know until it comes back up and eats through the outboxes of federated instances to “catch up”.

Edit When it does come back up it’ll also get any messages that are in federated outboxes as well so your posts will ultimately show up on the host instance, just posted by your alt account

This happens because a lot of ordering systems default to ticketing teas as sweet tea and iced tea instead of something sane like sweet tea and unsweet tea

Solasta got a multiplayer update recently as well in the same vein.
