Hosted my own xmpp server back when you could talk to facebook messenger and google chat users via federation. But when they closed their walled garden there were nobody to talk to so i stopped it.

Now with matrix i have again a homeserver. Bridged to messenger, google what the new thing is called, slack, and a few others.

With the exception of the great split. And the freenode fiasco. IRC have been consistently fantastic for me since i logged on in ~93

Or CnC Renegade. Greatest teamwork shooter there was. Nothing better then convincing your team to do a flamer rush.

Played it daily for ~13 years stright

I know what you say is true in your case.

But it is unfortunatly not that uncommon that people have to amputate a leg or 2 due to complications from smoking.

While that may be true. The filter bubble is also a very real thing.
Social media sites earn their money by your attention. And try to keep it as long as possible, with all the tricks in the books, and some they invented.
So when someone belives something. They search about it. And belive they have done research. When they find what the site belive keeps them engaged.

Want to know more? sorry, been playing to much helldivers 2. ;) https://www.ted.com/playlists/470/how_to_pop_our_filter_bubbles

The science is not conclusive tho. Perhaps i am in a bubble... messes with the head..

Pitstop 2 that my brother and I played constantly we were kids are 40 years exactly... the pain..

Debian stable on servers. Debian testing on the daily driver.
Gives you a rock solid server, that will pull absolutly no suprises.
And your daily driver gives you a playground for what comes in the next upgrade.

That too that there are 3 different .docx does nothing for standardization

Same in norway. The phone spam opt out works suprisingly well. Not had a unsolicited call in years.. If not decades.

I know it is a complete joke. But every time i think of c++ i am reminded of this prank article https://www-users.york.ac.uk/~ss44/joke/cpp.htm

Not seen a fs corruption yet. But i have only run ext4 on around 350 production servers since 2010 ish.
Have ofcourse seen plenty of hardware failures. But if a disk is doing the clicky, it is not another filesystem that saves you.

Have regularly tested backups!

Iso allowing itself to be coopted into fast tracking standarizing ooxml in 2008 continues to be horrible. Ms can point and say: see ooxml is a true open format.
