Dear god, is today the day I see Lemmy turn into Helen Lovejoy - “won’t somebody think of the kids!”

Lawnchair?

CoS/LaVey are more like the petulant libertarian flavor of satanism.

Satanic Temple are the chill ones

Desktop: Pop!_OS 24.04 (thinking of rolling back to Gnome as cosmic is too rough around the edges still)

Servers: Ubuntu Server 24.04.4

Containers: Debian Trixie or specific images for the project I’m working on

I wish, just check Atlanta - winding stroads as far as the eye can see

Me, I do - but I also don’t think we should switch back and forth; just keep DST. Who the fuck cares if it’s dark at 5:30am, we are meant to be asleep at that time

And they’re so loose that’s it’s a miracle if your charger stays in. Maybe if there were updates and changes to prevent this I would understand but as someone who’s working 99% of the time while traveling, it’s a surprise when the ports work and I rely on battery banks heavily

Which is funny because this was just the main instance when I (and many others) learned about Lemmy. I’ve been called a tankie because of my instance when I’m pretty sure tankies would call me MAGA as I’m somewhere between a leftist, a liberal, and libertarian

Sony should have brought David Lynch in earlier, imagine the PS1 commercials we could have gotten

Mint, (?)ubuntu, and Pop!_OS are what I suggest because 1) most software install guides target these distros. Anything that uses a package manager other than apt means extra googling and pain for those who just want an OS that works and could care less about the miniscule advantages of one over another 2) stable releases and driver support and 3) similar UI to whatever they’re coming over from. Someone else ITT mentioned KDE for Windows and Gnome(or Cosmic once it’s stable) for Mac folk and I think that tracks well

I’ll die on this hill - no one calls everything Coke and those who claim so haven’t been in the South especially the area around Atlanta. “Coke” is used as an example - for instance, “Hey, can I get you anything? Coke, beer, water, or something?” Yes, they mean they have soda one of which is coke. No one would say, “hey, can you get me a coke” and mean Sprite / etc. At most, they may use it to mean coca-cola products but usually you’ll get a list of which sodas they have and are offering

Damn, wish I had known about that before I went the takeout method

Well before that when he entered Georgia

Really just depends on whether my wife finds something her family wants or I do. Throughout the year if you see something your SO’s family would like, buy it and let your SO know

For databases, many like postgres have a ping / ready command you can use to ensure it’s up and not have the overhead of an actual query! Redis is the same way (I feel like pg and redis health checks covers a lot of the common stack patterns)

Encrypted Matrix or mattermost server with jitsi?

Depends how close they are. Most of my friends (that are into self-hosting and collecting Linux ISOs) are across the country / world. So mailing encrypted SSDs works best for large transfers and nextcloud for small transfers

Shit, I used AI to suggest a summer cocktail recipe and it thought bourbon was something you sliced and used as a garnish - I think we’re safe for now

Hmmm, we have a company who’s success has been largely due to it’s large network of developers and the outgoing CEO tried to destroy that community… Who should replace them? Oh, I know, someone who took another company who’s success was based on a large network of developers and successfully killed that community

This is 100% about the disease that is religion. And by your argument, Native Americans have no claims to land because they have been pushed off their ancestral land and have been gone for a long time - or have they not hit the imaginary line in the sand where it’s been long enough that they have “forfeited” their claim?
