  • When I last used Debian, I found myself very annoyed with the lag in the package manager. This is a very long time ago (15 years?), so probably isn't the case any longer. However, due to laziness (or proactively avoiding a bikeshed rabbit hole) I didn't check and just chose Ubuntu over Debian the other day because of that.

  • socialism confirmed to be effective at the atomic scale, got it.

  • FYI, the www-less version doesn’t work for me, try https://www.sci-hub.st/

    (Somehow I ended up on an old version before reporting this here)

  • Yeah, the original thin clients were basically useless without the server they connected to, but nowadays even computers the size of a stick of gum are plenty powerful enough for consuming webpages and videos.

    You still need peripherals like mouse, keyboard and screen but you might get them as part of the package (sounds like you already have them though).

  • I love that it's got the summary at the start, very respectful of readers' time 👍

  • Root beer drinker, tailor, soldier, spy.

  • What did you move on to, and what features made you move?

  • Alan Schaaf created Imgur while he was at uni and he never worked for Reddit, but I believe it was made for Reddit primarily (Reddit didn't support uploading images until 2016).

  • my account is still 100% storj token funded

    That seems to be the key bit, since everyone can use up to 25TB (if they can pay for it). Are you also hosting a node to earn credits tokens?

  • Reddit hardly came up with that thermometer-style fundraising display; it's older then the internet.

  • From the first paragraph:

    And best of all, NASA says it will be “ad-free, no cost, and family-friendly”

    Looks like you're one of those who just assumes they know what a story's about after glancing at the link title...

  • I love Mermaid, although I don't think you can currently do network diagrams. I've seen Kroki recommended here for doing that, which supports Mermaid plus many similar markup-based diagrammers.

    [Edit: added link and more info]

  • I was going to say my notes are in Joplin, but my more honest answer is basically yours.

  • I just tried to decode that acronym for a bit too: "mystery kanban bunny haired boss"? He's a tech YouTuber.

  • My SSH auth uses SSH keys stored in authorized_keys, but I see your point. For me, OpenLDAP will be letting users in to the various services and SSH is outside that. I suppose SFTP could be something I want, but I'd be tempted to put a new sshd inside a container and have it more restricted than the system one.

    I think the backup key idea is definitely the most broadly applicable, but there's physical/KVM for a more old school access route.

  • Yeah, I wasn't arguing, just thinking out loud too. I think the whole decentralised aspect of the fediverse means that ownership has to have a cryptographic answer because there's no central source of truth that everyone can agree on.

    I think moving accounts is a little easier than you think, apart from who gets to say that something should move. It'd be better to have a "pull" than something like the "push" solution that currently exists on Mastodon - there you can forward an account to a new place, as long as the old instance exists and cooperates (big ifs).

    I'm mostly thinking about moving accounts (+ communities) in the case of when an instance suddenly vanishes.
