Everything on the system, including the desktop, kernel, and CUPS, can be installed by snap.

Oh look at these people who don’t even have butter bells!

Turns out hosting a bunch of files is very cheap.

I love Lemmy.

I was wondering whether I was going to have to explain that rule to a crowd of angry zealots, furious that I could possibly oppose the Great and Mighty Apple like that.

I’m not opposed to having macs in my collection (though as it so happens right now I don’t have any), because it’s not about hating Apple and entirely about whether I can do something useful with the hardware.

A majority of the ARM hardware I have is old Android phones booting a pretty standard Linux distro with custom kernels. Most of them have drivers missing for various pieces of hardware, but as long as they can boot, connect to my homelab network over USB and run containers, they make excellent build/test devices.

Yeah this is basically what I do. People like giving me their stuff because I’m transparent about the deal:

1. If at all possible, I will wipe it for you.
2. If it’s usable, I will either add it to my TrashCloud™ or (especially for laptops) set it up for a kid.
3. Parts/devices that I cannot get working I will take to electronics recycling.
4. No iPhones/iPads.

Shows their commitment to the bit.

What do you think the expected lifespan of this dildo post prank was?

For pranks like this.

I have Linux running on a machine with 256 MB of RAM and a single core 700 MHz ARM11 CPU.

I also have it running on a machine with 128 multi-gigahertz cores and a terabyte of RAM. That flexibility is part of why I use Linux.

IIRC Gentoo was designed to be a successor to Slackware.

I very intentionally have all my code in Personal Projects 🥰 and Work Projects 🏦 directories so I can find bugs in the handling of file paths.

Google were literally one of the three organisations who worked on the standard, and the top contributor to the reference implementation works there.

Snap and KDE. Best of both worlds IMO.

Kubuntu.

Lorryologist here. This is not cute. Trucks only do this when they’re in extreme distress.

Just the other day I was thinking we should use the currency symbol as the decimal marker. So something could cost 9$99

Where’s the ragebait?

I don’t think I’ve entered an IP address for a local device in years. Everything is accessible using <hostname>.local thanks to mDNS. Avahi has been doing this for… 20 years I think?

Do you even DNS?

This is a poorly designed horror trap. Here, let me help you!
