I don’t know why I keep hearing of security measures to stop someone sleuthing into bootloaders.

Am I the only person using Linux who isn’t James Bond?

I ended up on Amfora. No address book or interaction, but it does virtual hosts really easily.

Same here

There’s a lemmy.ml/c/voidlinux community as well.

But yea, I once met a Void user at a party, and it seems like any number above ‘0’ is a surprise.

It’s about to have more potential for growth.

Arch, Void, Arch, Gentoo, Arch, Arch,…you’re all making me feel like a basic removed.

Anthropology books taught me that humanity is more fantastic than all the fantasy races.

• The Mbuti sang and danced as they walked, to scare away snakes. They had no words for ‘good’, and ‘bad’, so Christian missionaries couldn’t translate their teachings.
• The Azande believed in a predictable universe, and ascribed all misfortune (including death), to magical bad intentions (translated as ‘witchcraft’, but I’m not sure that’s a great translation)
• The Piraha language needed you to say how you learnt something inside the verb, so rumours are grammatically impossible. Their language had four modes, including ‘whistling’.

I’m putting everything in the past tense as my info is about 50 years out of date.

I’ve changed my /etc/issue file, but it doesn’t display when logging into tty2, or through ssh, or a new terminal. Is it meant to be displayed by .bash_profile or similar?

I just made a lemmy.world account after hearing about the mods on lemmy.ml, but when I posted a picture of winnie the pooh, the comment was deleted, and I was marked as a bot. And it sounds like beehaw’s not open for new registrations.

Oh well, guess I’ll be a tankie now. :/

People who want near-perfect distribution of power often talk about the serverless model. It’s sounds like it might work for something like e-mail, but I don’t see how it’s possible for something like Lemmy. This comment it cached on every instance with one person who follows it.

Atm, keeping Lemmy going for a couple of days might require 50 Gigabytes and lots of bandwidth. If you put that on a mobile phone, it’ll be a 50 Gig app, which will drain all your data in minutes.

But I think chatboards work well with servers, so it doesn’t seem like a problem.
