Yggdrasil somewhere around ‘93… maybe ‘94. Recompiling a kernel took a VERY long time.

I’ve been doing this a while.

Well it took me 15 years (started in ‘89 graduated ‘04) and I’ve been in IT for almost 30 years (there was obviously some overlap). But honestly after your first job, nobody cares.

I can never not get hear him say that word when I read it. And he somehow made it sound dirty.

Edit: I should really pay attention to what stroke laden nonsense spell check has “helped” me write.

I feel you. I started coding before the internet even existed (well technically it existed, just nobody had access to it)

Isn’t all the code in git somewhere? I would totally do that for code projects.

I do the same thing with arduino code so I know where you’re coming from.

Honestly I maintain a list of file types I care about and copy those off. It’s mostly things I’ve created or specifically accumulated. Things like mp3, mkv, gcode, stl, jpeg, doc, txt, etc. Find all of those and copy them off. I also find any files over a certain size and copy them off unless they are things like library files, dlls, that sorta thing. Am I possible going to kiss something, yeah. But I’ll get most of the things I care about.

I’ve been meaning to check out crowdsec because it seems to fit my niche usage. Wuzah seems VERY powerful and something I could likely use at work so that’s an advantage but very complex. Fail2ban is good at what it does but very simplistic and would require a lot of individual instances that would seem like a bear to maintain. CrowdSec seems like it’s in the Goldilocks zone somewhere in the middle. Pretty powerful, not terribly hard to manage, and not too difficult to install. But I haven’t done anything with any of them yet so I’m not very much help. I am curious what you go with though.

The roots are something I had not considered

Yeah kind of totally agree. Trying to self host without using the terminal would be like trying to drive a car without touching the steering wheel with your hands. It’s possible but dangerous and cumbersome.

Don’t let it scare you. Get something installed to let you build some VMs to play around without worries (Virtualbox, VM Workstation, parallels), and install a distribution like Debian, Ubuntu, Mint and start to play. To self host all you really need is learning some basic file manipulation (move,copy,remove), how to edit text files (vi,emacs,nano), and the basic directory structure. That will get you 90% of the way there. When you see things like awk, sed, grep ask an AI to explain it, they are actually useful for that. These sort of commands start getting into advanced things like output redirection and regex which can be EXTREMELY confusing. Heck I have a CS degree, been in IT for almost 30 years, and I’ve been using Linux since the mid 90s and some of that still confuses me. So basically don’t fret if it’s too confusing, you are totally not alone. Play, screw up, try to fix it, curse, read a lot, try again, realize it’s toast, start over. Honestly I think I just described my job 😂

Yggdrasil In the mid 90s.

I have no idea if this is a real tweet or not. This country is just broken.

Jesus… it’s like piranhas devouring a carcass. That women using the plate as a shovel… gees.

Yeah I didn’t wanna pay that for a PS5. And the PS5 GPU alone is likely 5 times more power then what’s rumored to be in the switch 2… no way I’m paying that for a switch.

It’s just a matter of time before those are enshittified as well.

Edit: ok my bad… apparently you can side load different launchers. I may check one of those out then.

I actually kinda think it was intentional. Any business savvy person knew these tariffs were coming and that they would be disruptive especially to something like the Switch 2.

And the chips get soggy in like 2 seconds.

Well shit….

Reading is fun for mentals…
