I hope Gen Z shows up. I don’t buy into poll results.

Which is exactly why the US is looking at a sale / ban scenario. I doubt it’ll ever actually happen.

No argument on US companies not being much better. At least there’s some paperwork that gets in the way.

I suggest you read the article, specifically the section “Get flexible with your thinking.” :) A Trump win, while disturbing, has a lot of possible outcomes.

No it’s not. It’s because it, like other Chinese companies, are at risk of being browbeaten by their government into providing whatever information they have on American users to use as they wish. One can easily argue what kind of risk that actually poses, but that’s why they’re trying to ban it. Unless you have some sort of proof…

You have a point, but you need to not care about some else’s bullshit opinion. You don’t need to explain yourself. Save your dough and you’ll have money for whatever suits you down the road.

Paying cash for big items like cars isn’t always the best idea, but less debt never hurts.

Mountain biking, hiking, skiing, or golfing.

Life outdoors is so enjoyable and cathartic.

Trying to setup dnscrypt-proxy on my personal laptop. I tend to think I things are more complicated, so I went down the rabbit hole searching for all manner of issues and setup guides. It’s not hard… RTFM

I mean… They’re not wrong. Why the hell would he go get curb stomped now instead of waiting until she’s technically gotten the nomination?

It’d be fun to watch the beatdown, but I doubt it’ll ever happen.

No, and I mean NO! Dwarf Fortress post should be without the hilarious and colorful story of boatmurdered

You can read the whole log, but starkravingmad’s journal is pure LOL.

Don’t forget Chimera Linux ( not to be confused with Chimeraos)!

Gotcha. I looked at Seduction the bistro and I’m inclined to give it a trial alongside a few others.

It’s soo good. It’s taught me most of what I know about Linux. And, without getting into a battle over inits, I just love the simplicity of runit.

I never took a swing at musl, though I did kick it around a few times. I used my laptop for work for years and couldn’t afford to lose options for some apps. The gloves are off now :)

Great suggestion. A few of the distro suggestions here are in the deep end of the Linux pool, so it’s probably best to build them virtually to see how I want things setup.

I know, so cool. I am open to learning, but I am not sure I am in for that depth of education :)

I haven’t honestly. Isn’t that one that takes forever to install because it builds the packages as you install the system?

Ah Chimera. I’ve been looking at that the last two days. I am really tempted to give it a shot. My laptop is mostly for playing around these days. Are you running it?

I forgot about Arch. I ran Manjaro for a year and didn’t have the best experience. 'Course I was pretty green on Linux then.

Thanks, Sid hasn’t been on my radar. Ill go have a look. I happen to have a ZFS box up in rsync.net running Debian, and it’d be nice to learn more about CLI in the deb world.

Thanks for the heads up. That is something I’ve taken into consideration. I am curious how long I’d last on musl.
