If this were Facebook I would say this is a bot harvesting user locations for advertising profiles…

Unless you use zram. Compressing pages is pretty useful as an intermediate stage.

I don’t think that applies since /* will just glob out to all the filenames in /

Market cap? Which stock symbol is it? 😉

I’ve noticed that every different social media medium/site has its own Eternal September moment. I think, optimistically, that we’re still before that point. If we get popular and the general population arrives, it’ll also attract the predatory ecosystem of state actors and corporate bullshit.

I think Lemmy and the Fediverse in general is resistant to that, but not immune. I expect an effort to create One Big Instance that most people use, or an oligarchy of large instances working together, like Microsoft and Gmail and co do with email.

At one point I rebuilt a server by fully abandoning the package database and reinstalling everything as overwrites. Converted a slackware install into a Debian install in situ by cannibalizing it from the inside out. Pretty proud of that one, even 20 years later.

edit: oh gods… more like 24.

Debian stable, I guess, has both people sleeping on cruise control. Fine until it stops being fine, and then a flurry of activity.

Edit: or maybe a train. Boring, except for updates and dist upgrades.

Yeah. This is a plot point used in a few stories, eg Carl Sagan’s “Contact”

Redhat 1997. Slackware, Storm Linux, then Debian 2001 to present. A brief year on the OSS Solaris release.

There is often very limited table space and stacking the dishes can be more about making room than server convenience.

That said, obviously don’t be dumb about it. Stack dishes properly and maybe stick the utensils in a cup so they aren’t at risk of falling during transport.

Yeah, chicken and egg. Unfortunate twitter has now locked down feeds so you have to be logged in, so also fuck them on that point.

It’s a tradeoff. I am so disgusted by twitter that I chose to give that up and leave.

This is a baffling comment. There are tons of people on mastodon, more than I could ever hope to keep up with. I have a couple hundred accounts on follow and never manage to keep up. Honestly it could use some sorting.

Didn’t that originate in a Sabrina The Teenage Witch episode? Or did I just imagine that?

Look into Sawyer water filters. Much easier to use than lifestraws, last longer. Pressure instead of suction.

yeah, I haven’t had issues getting a webcam to work in years, just plug and go

That would be a very interesting virus.

I’ve been using rspamd for a while. It may be extensible to do token based classification like you want but it may take some work.

Paper tubes like Pringles, maybe.
