That is some big dick energy ngl

Gotta remove that French locale cruft. And don’t forget to get rid of the stale baguettes too.

Lmao jesus, for real? Fucking disk manager requires custom fiddling and updates from stock? Wow.

Oh cool, TIL. And I think this knowledge is niche enough such that n < 10,000 lol

It’s so true though

I even look at myself that way whenever I use wsl on my gaming box to hop onto another system. I disgust myself.

It’s wild what an impact organizational politics can have on a codebase

Self hosting isn’t likely to ever get to the point of “plug and play”. It’s inherently incredibly flexible and different people will do different things with it. Some people just want NAS. Some people want to build a router. Some people want to have a modest compute farm that they physically own. Some people want a virtualization playground. Or pretty much anything else you can think of, or some combination thereof.

For instance, I custom built a 2-tier + optane cached NAS running proxmox, and I have a handful of old thin clients I can spin up for doing Beowulf things when I feel like it, and I also have another repurposed thin client with an old enterprise-grade SFP+ NIC running pfSense as my router that can support up to 10g (futureproofing).

The best part is that if any of them get taken down, another one will pop up on another instance :D

AND YOU DID IT IN A LANGUAGE I DON’T LIKE FOR ESOTERIC REASONS DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT CAN ELIMINATE ENTIRE CATEGORIES OF BUGS BY SIMPLE NATURE OF ITS SYNTAX AND COMPILER REEEEEEEE

Genuinely, the vociferous pushback against Rust by a small minority of irrational C purist assholes is so, so dumb.

What the actual fuck even is this

This is… far, far too real

Nope. I never ever configure my systems with autologin. Auth is always required to use my shit. It’s a good habit and I’m not breaking it lol :P

Yeh seems fine tbh. Genuinely didn’t do anything special. Literally just slapped Kinoite onto a surprisingly useful little asus laptop I snapped up a while ago for a hilarious deal.

I mostly use it as a secondary computer near my bed stand when I remember I wanted to do some sort of thing on my system or homelab crap but it’s late and I don’t feel like getting out of bed. Crucial use case, to be honest.

happy atomic distro noises

Here’s my problem: I don’t want the general user base of Facebook to move here.

You’ve clearly never worked with any psychopaths or narcissists. Often, pointed (though importantly, carefully offline and undocumented) cruelty is one of the only ways to effectively punch back and make people like that stop trying to fuck with you, because many people like that only really respond to threat dynamics. It’s not terribly common, and it’s not fun to do, but it definitely is warranted once in a blue moon.
