lol.

lmao even.

I’m aware. Been following that as well. I still trust Germany more than I trust the USA. I unfortunately can’t really move to one of the larger cities as it’s pretty cost prohibitive until my wife could find a job. We are going to live in a less populated town for a while and ramp up culturally and see how everything goes. She speaks Spanish fluently, so we may end up in Spain after some time. It’s hard to say.

It’s that damn reality that needs to be punished. Stupid facts and laws of economics making Trump look worse than he is.

My phone was on its way out so I got something with better translation features and support for my move to Germany. Was it expensive? Yes. Is it less expensive than it will be? Also yes.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this causes scalpers to start hoarding goods again like they did during the pandemic. Artificial scarcity but still cheaper than the official price on Amazon or whatever.

Companies are pre-buying goods and laying off workers already, so why wouldn’t the citizenry?

Yeah encryption is a must in general but also especially going forward. I moved my group to Signal. I don’t like that it’s USA owned and run, so I’m hoping the other projects globally will start to improve interface and functionality wise. Also open to suggestions.

You’re posting on here and probably other channels. The NSA, FBI, and anyone else caught up in the wholesale data collection on US citizens has a full profile on you.

Guess who now has that data?

Get out if you can.

If you can’t, go to a blue state and buy guns and ammo. Self-sort. Learn to shoot. Learn bush craft. Quit your vices. Get into shape.

If you can’t do that, I’m very sorry for your plight. Form communities where you can and try to make some sort of SHTF plan.

I was making a little joke there, but having never engaged with that kind of content, it’s just what I see when I go to all communities. If I scroll far enough down I start seeing gonewild stuff. Lemmy isn’t popular enough that the SFW stuff drowns out the NSFW stuff. I just can’t see myself using this site at work, or reddit for that matter unless I got there from looking up the answer to a technical problem. Always best to keep that stuff separate, but I just think people should understand that this site probably leans toward inherently unrelated to work at best, and unsafe at worst.

This is Lemmy. There are regularly posts about the end of capitalism and furdicks that hit my All page. No way in hell I’d use this site at work.

And misses others you didn’t think about.

Digital Ocean basically lets you run something called a droplet in the cloud. It’s a general purpose server more or less. Put nginx on it, start the server process, configure the DNS rules, and congrats you have a site that says hello world.

A droplet is similar to an EC2 on Amazon Web Services. I found DOCN to be cheaper than AWS when I hosted my site there. I was going to also suggest proton and DOCN might work for your use case. You get the redundancy and uptime without needing to use your own hardware, electricity, or bandwidth.

Regex should generally be avoided wherever possible.

I game on both the deck and a desktop with pop!_os. I can say gaming on my desktop is just as good if not better than the deck for because it can leverage my desktop hardware and it’s way easier to go under the hood with proper peripherals. Linux has come a long way with gaming. Most of the shit that doesn’t run on linux are games that cost too much for too little content or they’re just gonna be battle pass/cosmetic farms that cater to whales and aren’t actually fun in any sense of the word.

If you’re gonna be a top 0.0001% competitive gamer, you’ll probably wanna stick to windows. If you don’t play FPSes competively, a linux based gaming PC is probably fine. Me? I’m a middle aged dude with kids who racks up about 20 hours a week somehow, and linux more than suits my needs.

I’ve had more success with Lutris and Wine in getting certain abandonware games (Black and White for example) to run than I ever did on Windows.

I switched to PopOS from Windows 11 in three hours. I had been backing everything up for weeks though. Generally everything I did on Windows works out of the box on PopOS.

Aside from my bluetooth speaker not connecting automatically and needing to run a Windows VM for Corsair peripheral LEDs, I’ve not had to do a ton of customization.

It’s been well worth it. Really enjoying it so far and highly recommend.

Walk through a perfume/cologne shop and put a vibrating butt plug in and that ought to cover the rest.

Not as garbage as your critical thinking abilities it would seem.

We do.

I guess Asia can report the problem on Sunday and I’ll get a nastygram and fix it that afternoon.
