  • Shift+Ins was the default paste on Windows 3.0, before Apple sued Microsoft for copying their OS (back in then it was still called just "System"), so MS added Ctrl+C for Windows 3.1, but the old one still work.

    Same thing for Xorg. Ctrl+Ins for copy, Ctrl+Del for paste and Ctrl+Ins for paste.

  • I could say the same about Microsoft.

  • That might be true inside Russia, but not in the rest of the world. F5 could sue in the US and force the registrar responsible for the .org TLD to hand the domain to them.

    In his place, I would chosen something related but different enough to avoid trademark infringement, like "Freeginx". IANAL, but I believe sometimes all it takes is one letter to keep lawyers away.

  • Being even more pedantic, KVM is the hypervisor, QEMU is a wrapper around it and Proxmox provides a management interface to it.

  • Any Linux distro running KVM/QEMU - Add Cockpit if you need a web interface, or use Virt-Manager, either directly or over X-forwarding

    No need for X forwarding, you can connect Virt-Manager to a remote system that has libvirt,

  • I define "retro" as anything made before an average Army Private was born, so about 19-20 years. By this standard, games released in the early 80's were retro when the current generation of Privates was born, so how do we call that ? I propose the term "paleogaming" for those.

  • For my private repos, hosted on my home server, I moved from Gitlab to Forgejo (Git, artifacts and containers images) and Woodpecker for CI builds. Woodpecker is not as powerful and feature complete as Gitlab, but for simpler needs it gets the job done.

  • One sad irony about the meltdown caused by the 9/11 attacks. The technology that could have prevented it is called CDN (content Delivery Network), one of the pioneers of this technology being Akamai. The irony is that one of the company's founders, Daniel M. Lewin, was a victim of the attacks, he was on AA Flight 11, the first to hit the twin towers.

  • I'm waiting for the Contacts manager. Untill then I'll keep using the last "good" (pre-sale) version of Simple Contacts.

    But don't worry, take your time.

  • That's because it detonated in orbit, so it interacted with Earth magnetic field. Far from the planet, I think there wouldn't be an EMP, unless the targeted ship has it's own magnetosphere. But I'm not a nuclear physicist, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

  • There this French fold band, Skáld that usually sings in Old Norse language. In the song Hross, the first line of the chorus is "Hverir eru þeir tveir?". The way they sing those first two words sounds like "Fevereiro", which is the Portuguese (my native language) word for February.

  • I think OP's argument is that the interchange is a symptom of low density urban sprawl and all the associated maladies that come with it.

  • Even if it was fully operational, Western artillery used by Ukraine is more precise with longer range than Russian, so they can target the ruskies with less risk.

  • People don't need to use it as their micro-blogging platform, they just need to know that a site like govern.xy is the authoritative source of alerts. Mastodon's default timeline for non-logged visitors is simple enough for visitors to understand and get the information they need.

  • No need to seize anything. Deploy a Government Mastodon instance and run a PSA informing the public that the Mastodon is the official channel for emergency communications.

  • I mean, what is your alternative definition of “worth” if it isn’t “What you can get for it”

    "Worth" and "Price" are different things. A meal that costs $20 has more worth than a box of dirt with a price sticker of $1 million.

    The $44 billion Muskolini paid was Twitter's agreed price, not it's worth.

  • Nah. Too expensive, it would cost hundreds of millions that could be used feeding and housing the poor. Just dump the whole body on an active volcano. Same fiery end and it's possible to stream the event to the whole world.

  • This is comic book evil shit. This waste of space do this for no other reason than to hurt people. I hope he loses everything he has and dies in poverty.
