https://www.slax.org/ It’s easy, is a full featured desktop, and has persistence on your USB stick.

I’d rather be backseat.

Thanks, that gives me a direction for searching.

Good point, I’m running uBlock and NewTab. uBlock is blocking a single request/element from startrek.website but that’s it.

Damnit, I’m boring af. Machines are named by their model for laptops/consumer devices and buy their CPU for home built stuff.

Except for Crimson-Binome.local 🏴‍☠️

I used to use Weechat in a screen instance on my home server to keep persistence but I moved to Convos.chat and it’s pretty nice. The client runs on your server, you interact with that via your browser. The webapp has some nice features like the ability to host files for sharing with other users, inline link previews and searches.

Having just jumped over I might be bottom of the priority list for company communications.

Guess I’m a low-value client.

I might do so as well to avoid the next decade of shopping around.

I know there are other factors it just feels like the only people getting screwed are the little guys. In Canada the rates that third party ISPs pay and charge are dictated by the giant telcos. Our regulating body even allowed the telcos to raise prices to the point where reselling is no longer viable. Fucking the little guys again.

Overall, 46% of Americans say human activity is the primary reason why the Earth is warming. By contrast, 26% say warming is mostly caused by natural patterns in the environment and another 14% do not believe there’s evidence the Earth is warming at all.

Education vs indoctrination. The 46% are willing to sacrifice some quality of life to help solve the problem, the 14% are ready to pick up a gun to maintain theirs.

Docker kinda does it by being like an app store but for servers. It’s not very flexible but everyone using a particular image gets the same experience.

Ubuntu has a bigger market share in the support department. Makes it easier to find advice that applies specifically to your setup.

Man I tell you what Hank bout there-that dang ol meaning o’life, man. It’s like this man. You’ like a butterfly flappin ‘is wings deep down in that forest man an’ it gonna cause a tree fall like five thousand miles away man. If-an ain’t no body see it nobody don-done-e’en know it happen you know ibda baby born into this world int’know neck god dang friends got no nothin but da go come into find out about em ol evil man. Man see like, you don even know man. When-dyagon it’d like you born into this world man and you got — it’s like this: dust in the wind man, or like a dang ol’ candle in the wind man. You gon — it don matter man it’s not the old oldies all th’ time man. You know what I think man? It’d like the the dang ol – I think therefore you are man.

This is the way. I run stock Debian with LXC, you get what you ask for and that’s it.

I was with Google Domains but switched to Namecheap. They are easy enough to work with and not the most expensive.

Microsoft explains that Call of Duty doesn’t have to be on every console, because it isn’t that important to the video game industry.

I feel like they should not be the ones making that judgement when deciding if some company is going to be buying up large portions of an industry.

They suck to edit but you can create them in most Free/Open/Libre software. It’s my favorite way to distribute drawings so that they print the same on every machine.

The are a requirement for distributing a document that has to look the same on every device. I don’t love them and Adobe can go take a flying fuck but if I NEED to make sure that my boss doesn’t alter a document it has to be a PDF.

Average users view the web raw, this will go totally unnoticed by >90% of users. If web-drm becomes a thing then it will be easy enough to block those sites and add them to the list of media that is morally acceptable to pirate.
