I do both, but mostly the tea is just to stretch out the coffee supply. e.g. Instead of making a second up of coffee, I’ll make tea instead.

Yeah, probably lol. I guess I just don’t pay a lot of attention to who posts what most of the time.

Oh, it’s that person, then? I’m pretty sure I know who you mean. I blocked them a while back when an entire page and a half of posts was just them.

Most of the last mile fiber network is passive (doesn’t require active electronics to pass the signal like DOCSIS/cable internet or ADSL).

Cable and DSL typically have the equivalent of UPSs in their neighborhood nodes, but they often go unmaintained.

Awesome sketch! Well done.

But if you ever see me at my most exhausted in an airport, please don’t sketch me and put it on the internet 😆. My self esteem would never recover.

That’s basically what EFI booting does.

Initramfs’s main purpose is to load enough of a system to be able to load/boot the kernel and everything else from the hard disk. It’s also used for more complex boot scenarios such as loading LUKS and providing a password prompt if the root partition is encrypted.

If you intentionally show up somewhere you clearly don’t want to be just to “boo” people minding their own business, yeah, you should be asked to leave and barred from “participating”.

Common courtesy is to not downvote things in /all that you don’t like if you’re not subscribed. Just ignore it or block the community and move on.

Am I guilty of that? Hell yeah, I am - never said I wasn’t. But I do try to be better and not just knee-jerk to the downvote button if I see something I don’t like in a community I’m neither subscribed to nor interested in.

Weird instance rule, but they pay the bills, so whatever?

I never bought into the whole dogwhistle story about it, but I have found that I just don’t mesh well with people who use that meme a lot, so it’s kind of a litmus test when I see someone use it.

Ah, okay. Mine’s direct drive so probably doesn’t need that.

What does that actually do/address?

I’ve not had any issues without it on my E3v3

6. “Paywalled”

edit: thinking about it, you probably were talking about people on the fediverse doing this out of turn and not the example I was thinking of.

I was. Collective “you” and not a personal “you”. Could’ve been more clear I suppose. I usually try to say “one” instead of “[collective] you” but sometimes that makes the phrasing awkward.

Edit: For clarity, the “you” used here is the collective you and not “you” as in the account I’m replying to.

For the record, I agree with your example and personally won’t eat/buy The Lord’s Chicken™. But do you really think you’ve changed anyone’s mind? Probably not. All you’ve accomplished is making yourself feel morally superior. You don’t like something? Fine, more power to you. Don’t buy/support the thing (you should see the ever-growing list of companies and subsidiaries I won’t buy from). But also don’t slide into the DMs of other people’s lives and shit all over what little brings them joy. Why is this hard?

Go for it. You don 't even have to credit me. I consider everything I post to be public domain anyway, double-so if it’s used for good.

Apparently I still have some curating to do on my subscription/blocks. It’s not about any one specific person - just the Debbie Downers that pop up.

I understand why, but I still hate it. Thankfully there’s Grand Theft Focus

Damn Small Linux (Knoppix-based) which was the gateway drug to Fedora Core 4 on an old Pentium III that was lying arouind.

Which is more horrifying? Kerneld or PulseLinux?
