Basically every game without anticheat runs on Linux now

The issue isn’t how it’s built or based on its that Microsoft can use its control of the os to make it extremely difficult to avoid it.

AI is worse than crypto. Most crypto projects use proof of stake which is way more resource efficient than mining. Also the mining that does happen usually happens where there is excess generation instead of azure datacenters

I believe mods tried this and reddit purged the mods when subreddits only allowed John Oliver images.

Tom Scott does a great job of explaining this. Tr;Dr is paper ballots are a mature process that has the benefit of requiring physical access to tamper with, and governments who aren’t great at IT and only do something at scale once 4 years is asking for trouble

I want to try alpine out but the lack of systemd support is a blocker since I don’t want to add openrc support to all my Ansible playbooks that rely on systemd services and timers

Usually in the observability space it is primarily based on the volume of data and sometimes seat count. Especially if it’s freemium like elastic where users can get an idea of volume by running a POC of the free version. Companies do this because of small teams who deploy large infra that would make contracts unprofitable

You can edit the /etc/fstab or setup systemd mounts so all the files are mounted at the correct spot at startup. Different drives are mounted to folders on Linux instead of drive letters like on windows. Before you reboot, make sure everything works by running mount -a otherwise you will have to rescue the system

If your Linux distro is using btrfs you can format it to btrfs and use btrfs send for backups. Otherwise the filesystem shouldn’t be to big if a deal unless you want to restore files from a Windows machine. If that is the case use ntfs

I have been using cheogram but I’m not sure where their servers are hosted https://cheogram.com/

I fail to see how that differs from the current Internet

Different distros build their packages with different options and have different versions of those packages so the Ubuntu and fedora php packages might have an optimization the arch one didn’t

Seafile or nextcloud are my choices. I like seafile because it has an official and documented way to install it but nextcloud works well too just installing it can be tricky. One thing I like about sea file is they have a remote filesystem app that supports Linux and works better than nextcloud and webdav

Devs understand http and json way better than imap and http can support modern security protocols like oidc which standards imap doesn’t support which can make using foss email in a corporate environment

Debian testing or nixos

Only proof of work crypto currencies require a ton of energy and the only way it’s profitable is by buying energy that would otherwise be wasted like methane flaring or excess renewable generation.

Have A zsh shell with fzf history and zsh syntax highlighting installed

I have been loving miniflux. It has been pretty set and forget. They have nice android apps and you can pay them to host it for you

Sometimes it’s easier to start over than unbreak an existing project. Gnome is old and big so it’s harder to change. So starting over where you don’t have to keep existing features or care about existing users is way easier than fixing gnome and rewriting it in rust. Plus system 76 can. There’s no single party that can stop them from making a desktop
