It used to be the intellectual property of the guy who made it, but they've since given it up as creative commons. Guess he made enough off of royalties

right, hear me out though.

squish

edit: some wasps are chill though to be fair. Mud wasps are doppy little guys who just kinda bop around. They get the cup

No, no there are not

And now they've pollinated my shoe with their guts.

Seriously though, you're right, but when a bee comes into my home I catch and release, when a wasp invades it's search and destroy. While screaming terrified of course

That'll be useful for a swap partition, but if you're using a swap file instead of a partition it won't work.

To clarify, a swap file is just a file on your hard drive the size you'd like your swap to be. Filled, at the start, with zeros. You still put it in your fstab to mount it but instead of a full partition, it's just a file.

This makes it more flexible, and easy to change the size of or turn it off or on during operation, safer to change the size (less steps, less ramifications, lower chance of data loss), or have it expand as needed, but is more restrictive in other features while being a bit slower and less secure.

Windows has a similar system for swap called a pagefile.

On linux, while there is a gui to change a swap partitions size, changing the swap files size has no gui. Even though it is, theoretically, a simpler operation. Simply run swapoff, delete the old file, create the new file, run swapon. No partition managment needed, essentially no chance of data loss

Not gonna try and force you or anything, but if you want to move over to firefox try this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/import-data-another-browser

Also, be sure to turn off telemetry in firefox. It's not as safe as people say, but it's pretty good

Yup, you should be good if you do that. There are some tools to create a more private profile and the librewolf/mulvad browsers do just that (while removing the code which would allow a good portion of it in the first place)

Here's that tool: https://ffprofile.com/

Firefox based privacy browser: https://mullvad.net/en/browser

To clarify why this is important, this data can be de-anonymized where anonymized and be used for fingerprinting your internet usage. If you're concerned about privacy this is a pretty big red flag, especially if your government is getting this information, which many have and will be able to in the future.

Fingerprinting isn't a perfect system and can incorrectly flag innocent people.

If you unfortunately life in the wrong place, whether true or not being flagged as gay/trans or the wrong political party can very much harm you. Texas has asked the government for a list of trans people inside their state, though the request was denied for now, what happens when it isn't? what happens when it's not just trans people, and is instead your group? Caution is king.

But it doesn't though, not really. There are quite a few things which are still sent back as telemetry. One hell of alot better than chrome but it's still watching you. It's still not respecting your privacy.

There are some privacy respecting browser out there but they're quite inconvenient to use. I haven't found a real reasonable middle ground personally, but altering librewolf or the mulvad browser to keep you signed in has been nice enough for me

I agree it's getting better, but some odd stuff does not exist yet. Like changing swap file size. Still need to use good old DD for that

There's also Gomucks, which is a matrix client. Matrix being to discord what lemmy is to reddit

Hey man that ain't cool, that's copywrite enfrigment

Make a new account on a server with the same name and password, works for me. I use sh.itjust.works but have a lemmy.world acc with the same login creds.

I agree though, there are flaws to the system, but I'd say the benefits outweigh them

You know I've never thought about that. That is an excellent point.

Imma make a furry porn site dedicated to speculation on north Korean officials fursona and kinks, running it off an old laptop I can get off Ebay. Powered by RedStarOS of course, the superior enterprise solution

I want to disagree with you so bad but you're objectively correct

I was having issues with windows, and hate the look of windows 11 so I decided If I was going to have to re-install and deal with a new OS's problems I might as well deal with linux issues and learn something new.

I duel booted, and two months later thought back and found I hadn't gone into windows since the install.

A year and a half later and I can say that the issues I've had on linux have been easier to fix than windows. Two separate problems I've had on both. Linux was easy and took about ten minutes, windows took a day, and a month each.

with windows I get esoteric error codes that mean something generic like "failed to update windows" when it stops at 3% for two hours and crashes. The solutions for it including two magic fix all commands (didn't fix it), restarting it 'correctly' (nope), and copying a regedit value from another computer (did work). This all coming from the end of a random windows 7 forum post. My computer was on windows 10.

On linux it told me my arch keyring corrupted. When I googled the error I got an explination and the arch-update-keyring command. This worked.

With a swap file (167gb for some reason on windows) I got a greyed out GUI and twelve re-starts, 4 to get the screen up, 8 to make it work. On linux, I copy pasted commands.

Apologies for the rant, jt's early, but this is why I switched and stayed. I also like customization, alot

Oh shit when did they start selling directory themed novalty gifts?

I'll be sticking to spotify personally out of convenience, and the fact that I'm paying for a family plan but to be fair paying that money directly to the artists you like will be much more effective while not supporting platforms that pay them very little for their work.

If you want though, using spotify adblock has been quite effective in my experiance. That way you have the convenience and you don't pay spotify shit
