one dude holding an XMPP sign in the back

“we see you, buddy!”

Moved my Desktop to Devuan yesterday, seems fine, doing the rest of my systems next week. Fuck em.

XMPP devs: “we’re right here, guys”

Yep, even if this one doesn’t pass, give it five years. I have no hope left, humanity can’t stand up or fight against anything. I’d download Devuan or Artix and get familiar and settle in, better prepped than sorry.

5 years later

“What music? It was all a bluff.”

Mine’s okay, the two little contact idea they had is finicky but a little jiggle and it’s good, I do keep the contacts clean, little rubbing alcohol.

I use a Surface Pro 6, I know of a guy with an 8 on Fedora. Mine’s on Cachy with Gnome.

There is a custom kernel you may need to get, https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface

The slightly older ones make great Linux tablets. I use mine for comics.

You heard 'em!

I don’t know why we have a giant “incest porn” machine, but I suppose every dog has his day.

…So the expectation is that a criminal organization would obviously print and build a gun, but they wouldn’t sidestep a law to illegally build a 3D printer from scratch to do it?

Christians of Lemmy!

Good thinking, shoot it with a 12ga slug.

but seriously, time and sense are a factor there. A few seconds? In front of me? I’d waver that action under a few conditions.

Keep your OS updated, make regular backups, use full-disk-encryption, and nuke and pave whenever things get cluttery. You’ll be alright.

Were it me and I just went through a TSA screening and they took it and returned,… I may nuke the laptop.

A switch and you’re all good, fam.

Buy a single-board x86 or ARM PC with more than one ethernet port on it and install openwrt, or opn/pfsense on it depending on your sensibilities and enjoy.

I use an OpenWRT ONE router, it’s a BananaPi with OpenWRT on it.

Update and reboot regularly, don’t get behind.

No.

I was an NPR supporter for years but now I find them to be more in line with being a voice for corporate Democrats and the status-quo.

The rest of the radio is a wash.

/me looks your post up and down

Welp, added to the “list of ass”, right below Brave and ProtonMail.

The cheapest?

I um, rebuild my own vape coil. Thing is, I know that’s a rather outdated concept, but one fine day, I ran out of coils, remembered I had a rebuildable for this device and just… never went back?

4 inches of wire, and a clump of cotton. I usually never rebuild the wire and just install new cotton.

So, ~$0.05 therabouts.

Main-character types that think their exception is rule enough to be bitter.

Everyone sucks, build your own router or depend on the enshitty options at your local ScamN’Shop.

what about the average consumer?

He’s fucked.
