Actually, I have my public facing servers configured to listen to 443 as well. Why? Because many corporate and public space wifi spots like libraries, will block 22, but allow 443 for https, so on my shell servers, I also listen to 443.

@Kalcifer You worded your title, "What's a good store to buy Linux, OR.... so this suggests you're looking to buy Linux OR in general open source related merch. I just addressed the first portion, you might be able to buy related merch.

From what I've read 1e100.net belongs to Google, so yea it's a virus.

You BUY MacOS or WhenBlows, but Linux is generally free to download. You can buy support from some vendors such as Ubuntu, Redhat, Mandriva, and Manjaro, but in all cases I am aware of, Linux itself is free.

@sxan @beta_tester EXACTLY, I am glad SOMEBODY gets it.

What it means is that you're getting the libs the program uses with the program instead of using the system libs, this defeats the whole point of shared memory and wastes RAM, it is inefficient but saves them from having to compile for each distro, still, the system loader has to resolve and load these making loading slower, if they had to include the libs, a better way to do it is to simply compile the binary as a static binary with all the libs compiled in, at least that way it saves the loader overhead.

They sure are huge on my system and spread their shit over half the file systems. Firefux is a complete disaster now that it is flatpack.

Nextcloud yes, Google, might as well ask for a direct data link the the NSA data warehouse in Utah.

@SeaJ I agree on time, 24 hours makes it a lot easier to communicate times with people in other time zones and easier to calculate from GMT.

Actually not accurate for "Rest of the World", China uses year month day.

@Zyansheep Also both have their same evils, instead of using system shared libraries (and thus sharing memory) they are bringing their own libraries. If every large application did that we'd need a terabyte of RAM in our PC's. Maybe a decade from now that will be affordable but beyond my budget at present.
