I used proxmox and have played a little with nix and guix, but simplest is just use debian, put /home on a separate logical partition from the system partition so you can reinstall the system without clobbering user files, and as people keep saying, backup early and often.
I’ve worked in security for decades and nobody has ever asked me about certifications. I know a guy with CISSP and he said it has been useful sometimes, but basically I wouldn’t worry too much. Getting more involved with the security stuff where you work will give real experience which is likely more valuable.
This seems to be different and is geared towards directly looking after other humans. Hactivism as I’m used to the term, can often be technocratic.
Simplest is use /etc/hosts to set up names, if there are just a few.
This was basically Blondies Pizza back in the day. Also the nitter thread is from 2019.
There is already a subscribed tab, and I use it most of the time when I want to catch up on selected topics. I use the local or all feed when I want to browse a wider view of what’s going on in general. Right now the total amount of Lemmy traffic is small enough that browsing that way is tolerable, which it wouldn’t be e.g. on reddit.
I do think that the Lemmy software design is more meme-oriented than I’d prefer, because of stuff like the thumbnail pic with every post in the main feeds. The more interesting parts of reddit to me were text-only and we don’t have that here.
I’d like the feed to be adjusted so that if there are a bunch of posts from the same community not too far apart from each other chronologically, to group them all together. Alternatively, a way to block communities showing in your front page view without blocking them completely. It’s not just memes, there are a bunch of other topics that also clutter up the front page constantly. Even things like news reports in Dutch, which are perfectly legit except I can’t read them, would be less annoying with this type of feature.
Wait you mean you don’t cook the oats? Oats (the old fashioned 30 minute kind) cook nicely for me in 4 minutes in an instant pot, but no cooking sounds even better.
Yeah, I couldn’t name one either (I’m from the US). The first name that popped into my mind was Jimi Hendrix but he wasn’t British. I guess Othello wasn’t British either, and may not have even been historical. I had heard of Idris Elba but didn’t realize that he was British. No idea about the Spice Girls.
There is a story (maybe apocryphal) that former US Vice President Dan Quayle (famous for malapropisms) once referred to Nelson Mandela as a “great African-American”, fwiw.
Well what phone is it? There are tons of music playing programs on f-droid. Why not just run one? I’ve been using Vanilla Music. I don’t like it that much, but don’t feel like derping around trying more and more of them. Vanilla is better than some others that I tried.
If you can manage programmers, then yes. Everyone says that’s just like herding cats.
Large ones can be a pain and I’ve generally converted those to other formats even it’s at some cost in disk space.
Propeller beanies as formal and business attire.
I do, see https://www.covidisairborne.org/ for tons of info on why we all should.
Lemmy is more picture oriented, like Instagram sort of. Reddit at least I’d you used old and shut off custom css, was more textual. -1 for Lemmy there I’m afraid.
There’s tons of memes and stuff, but I was never into that, so meh. My thing was specialized nerd groups and they are mostly not here yet. With time, maybe they will come.
Find some interesting blogs and subscribe to those. The ones that don’t try to churn out content every day are the best. They only post when they have something interesting.
You weren’t around for Usenet. It was great, then social media took over.
