Definitely, and what's your thought on the guys from cpac saying they want to end democracy and jan 6th was a good first try?

Those present and agreeing including members of the last cabinet.

It's all the same.

It's pretty fucked up to think a graphics library is social injustice in a world with multiple current and ongoing genocides and the persecution, mistreatment and general poor lovong conditions of so many groups of people.

This isn't a real problem, your annoyed pecause people who were giving you something for free decided to give you something else for free or at least stopped their charity work for you.

Comparing it to actual problems in the world shows how much privledge you have in the first place. It makes a strong parallel to a child throwing a fit because his free dinner in his free home isn't up to par with his idea of culinary excellence which is probably cake instead of real food.

This is frankly an embarrassing take. Feel free to fork xorg and make it what you want.

You need an OS app to run and a setting in the BIOS. The app at the OS level gives a heartbeat to the watchdog module on the mother board. If you miss some heartbeats, the firmware on the motherboard sends the reset command.

No, this is a tool that can be used in a well designed architecture. Would I do this with a single database server, probably not. Would I ever run a single database server? Also probably not.

Also, by this point, you've probably already kernel panicked or something. There's not much left that can be saved and you probably needed that backup five minutes before the host came up.

Check if your motherboard has a watchdog function. If the OS can't ping the watchdog every 5 min or whatever you set it to, the board resets.

Myrecommendations is probably to host a next cloud instance. Does all the standard 'cloud stuff'. File, contact, calendar sync, plus a bunch if other stuff if you want to add it via plugins. If you're patient, and a single use you can host it on basically anything. If you decide you want to add users or have a faster site, you can go down the route of sorting out faster hardware or better specs and suck.

Yeah, I that nk a lot of people 'get it' but can't quite explain it. So they tell you they use arch and they they are excited about it.

I'm a pro, I've used basically every type of Linuxevwr made. Ive built and run linux from wcratch multiole times, as a lewrning experience, a teaching experience and even protypes for production systrms. I understand the packaging philosophies, I understand the opinionated administration decisions. I'm subscribed to most major distro mailing lists and i understand the political motivations that drive various teams to the different technical decisions.

Arch isn't for everyone. And I'm totally fine with that. But it is perfect for people who want to build something with well crafted and unopinionated tooling. Of everyone 'got' arch they'd be failing at what they ate trying to do.

I have a roughly 13 year old install that I've moved through the transition to /usr/ and from sysv to systemd. Its my oldest install. I run almost everything except suse as a systems admin.

As a way to run Linux, I find arch one of the nicest. Rolling release, unmodified packages direct from the dev, unopinionated systems management, arch build system for any packages you want to compile, arch Linux archive that can be used for snapshotting or locking your rolling release, and AUR.

It's a completely different way to manage and build an OS that no one else is really doing. I find team 'I use arch btw' to be extremely annoying but at the end of the day, the arch tooling for building a Linux ypunlike to use means that people are naturally going to want to tell you they built something they find enjoyable to use. That's not really something a lot of people say about most OSs.

I have a range of issues and annoyances with most major OS, ranging from i cant use this to i wish this worked. Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu/deb flavors, redhat/fedora flavors, openwrt, alpine and other busybox flavors, iOS, Android, Graphine. All have things that mostly work but I'm always working around something.

And finding accurate documentation for issues on distros that have different configuration release to release is a pain, deb, Ubuntu and redhat flavors are especially egregious. I don't really care how to do this on RH6 or Ubuntu 11, lol, I want docs for the current version.

Heh, imagine the US giving out 6 months for campaign finance impropriety. Lol, about to take a hard pass on straight sedition.

Well, every instance has different mix of people interest and moderation. Which maybe I was over thinking it but it took a while to figure out where I wanted to be. And my initial experience wasn't great. My server was way out of date, had caching issues, was slow lots of defederation and perhaps arbitrary blocking that I didn't know was going on so I didn't understand why it didn't work.

I gave up and came back to a different server and it's been good since. But, no one is switching from threads or Instagram for that experience. Or at least going to stick with it long enough to find a home.

I've built a place I find comfortable, took a couple tries. But I have found decent content, found some of my friends from twitter, found replication bots for people I used to follow but not really interact with.

It's not twitter, but it took me 5+ years to build out my twitter. I think over time, enough people will join defederated social media that it can be a pretty good experience if a little too much work for many. But it will take a little time.

Uh, henry ford was a notoriously antisemitic person.

He had an entire paper dedication to publishing antisemitic stuff, he financed a book that was completely full of lies that is still an undertone for existing antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Hitler had a great respect for the stuff he had published and got some good ideas about the Holocaust from ford, even writing him a letter saying he like the way he though with regards to the place and treatment of other races. He really liked America's 'equal but separate' approach to racism. Hitler gave him the highest civilian metal of Germany and he went and accepted it.

And to be fair, afterwards, we all pretended like that didn't happen.

The US didn't join the war because of the racist atrocities, intact there was no appetite until perl harbor. The US joined WWII because they didn't like the attempt at global fascist takeover. If it was just a genocide that didn't spill out of its boarders we would have been happy to turn a blind eye. Just like we have been happy to do with the existing Uyghur genocide happening now in China and the one in Palestine.
