Oh wow thanks

Oh yeah totally. But it deals with proprietary drivers…so im not 100% sure what the restrictions are there. The mapping could be done open source if there was a need/want.

Steam has some upsides most take for granted.

The work they do to get all the strange controller setups working (and let others make configurations) is a huge time saver when all you want to do is play your games.

Free cloud saves are a life saver when you go from device to device.

The Linux work they do is fantastic.

It goes on and on. But yeah the biggest deal is that if they ever go full corpo…we are in trouble.

mmm

Nice! GL and may you get good.

Most text editors like vim/emacs/ect have ways of using a debugger.

I remember vim being a bit involved, but the performance was awesome.

But then if you put enough bells and whistles on text editors, do they become an ide?

Thank you for the funhole lore content!

Im guilty of this. As long as they are using Linux though it makes me happy.

I used to do a ton of seeding on isos but it really took its tool on the old harddrive I did it on. I kinda stopped for a long time. I used to do it for the origonal Ubuntu isos like 8.04 or something like that. And puppy linux :)…

Ive never heard of apt-mirror, thats interesting. Ill have to take a look. thanks!

I made mine into a laptop. Its decent at doing most things.

Im having a heck of a time finding material. Any recommendations?

Im downloading this version of wikipedia: https://browse.library.kiwix.org/viewer#wikipedia_en_all_mini_2025-12

I only have about 100GB left-ish so I dont want to get a huge amount. I might just get ebooks and throw those on there.

Oh neat, its on yuno https://apps.yunohost.org/app/kiwix

I think a good test is to shut off your house internet and see what things you still need. Like actually disconnect the router and only go off your own infa. What can you get done, what things do you still need?

For me I found out:

1. All my software development packages, linux isos, etc… are ALL online. If I was unable to get on certain websites, I would be SOL in doing most of my software development. Even simple stuff like installing via apt would be VERY hard.
2. While I have OSM (open street maps), I dont have address info saved anywhere.
3. Most of my mesh stuff (meshtastic) has online tools for all the builds and deploys. Meaning if the website goes down im SOL getting new nodes out in the wild.
4. Entertainment is pretty much covered, since we dont have anything streaming anyways. We try to keep things DRM free to begin with so books/audio/movies can go to different places without worry.
5. Radio still works, so news isnt really a big deal.
6. I need to get a backup of some encyclopedias and/or get wikipedia somewhere hosted. That would be fun and informative.

Yes join the dosins of us 🥧

huh TIL. Discord is a strange place.

Can you host your own server? Or is it just their way of saying “this is on our infastructure, pay for it”?

It still feels weird to have to pay for an emoji. One that is open source to boot. I just ended up copy/pasting an actual image file from https://slackmojis.com/

Nice! lynx is fun.

I like using links2 + piefed cause theres a Low bandwidth mode that works well with it. You can actually see posts and stuff.

I want my fat boy Always liked the mascot.

fixed.

Sorry common programmer lingo. It means Pull Request.

Someone reviewed a thing I did, gave it the ok and we threw it into a program (piefed). Now we see said thing the wild.
