Well that looks neat.

Congratulations on inspiring me to do the same forever

Not even technically, actually. Wine and proton are translation layers that basically provide a dictionary of system calls so that Windows-specific ones can be translated to Linux calls instead

I almost instinctively downvoted you

I would like to return one mental image please

Funnily enough, the barycenter of the earth and sun is inside the sun iirc

What a terrible day to have eyes

I have never heard y’all used singular, growing up in the American South. Instead, as I understand it:

• Y’all: You all, referring to a group of people (Can potentially be a subset of a larger group, e.g. talking to one couple at the table among a group of friends). “When are y’all having the wedding again?”

• All y’all: shorthand for “all of y’all” Explicitly referring to “all of the members of the group in question”, requiring that at least one member of said group is being addressed by the speaker. The difference is there are no exceptions (apart from exaggeration) “Ain’t a single one of you innocent, all y’all had a hand in this” or “All y’all need to put on your seatbelts, I ain’t going to jail for any of y’all’s comfort”.

Yeah, even with my relatively limited Esperanto familiarity (mi estas ankoraŭ komencanto, sed mi povas legi kaj skribi iomete), I was originally confused by it as well when I started using it a few months ago. Then when I saw the explanation on the faq, I just found myself wondering why the heck they used g instead of ĝ.

My local pizza places have actually started using DoorDash as their delivery drivers and it has me going and picking it up instead

Truly in a clbottom of its own

I like calling this the ‘continuity’ answer, and it’s my thinking as well

They’re the same

TOML or bust

Could also have air bags for hauling

New members means newly active paid subscriptions in runescape terms

I’m not familiar with ports, does it provide an easy way to install packages of a particular version? Is it OpenBSD only, or just a system of installing things?

I’ve got no dog in the race as of yet, I’ve bounced off of nixos a few times because of the general lack of consistency from one package to the next in terms of configuration options made available in the Nix language.

Genuinely curious about how it compares. The nix package manager seems fairly promising, even on non-Nix systems, if I could ever convince myself I needed it

You dare mock the son of a shepherd?!

Ah, I’ve generally run my VPN primary exit node in a public cloud infrastructure host like Digital Ocean or AWS in order to provide a separate public IP from the rest of my stuff, and not give out my home IP to public Wi-Fi and such.

I like docker, as long as you use a good orchestration tool it’s a good way to declaratively define what should be running on your server, using a compose file or similar. There are a lot of benefits to the overhead of learning it, including running multiple instances of the same service on one machine without conflicts, and the ability to force your hosted apps to store all of their data in nice neat packages you can easily back up with something like Duplicity or Volumerize.

I actually run my containers on a small kubernetes cluster using VMs running k3s atop Proxmox, with persistence handled by a hyperconverged ceph cluster. All probably very overkill but it’s fun to play with and performs incredibly. Most folks can get away with a single server running containers with simple docker compose.

You’re welcome, feel free to ask any questions once you get there
