This animation style is nice, whats it called?

Yes yes ok… I know.

On the phone. Where power saving is important. Where oleds are commonplace now. Where individual pixels turn off when fully black. I think a pixel that is off will use less power than one that is on, no?

But beyond all that, isnt it just a preference? Some people like white mode, others like dark. We dont all have the same eyes and brains.

I personally dont like light mode one bit and go the extra mile to get dark mode on my devices, but i dont care if someone else uses light mode. Cut it out, let people do what they like.

This! Rdr2 is insanely engaging with randos.

What the fuck are you on about? Jesus christ, we get ragebait in here too now?

Know your usecases. Thats it. Linux isn’t hard if you do.

But no, let me recommend the jet engine service manual to my 6 year old that is learning to read. You’re going to have a bad time.

For the record, since this post and most comments irked me, arch is fine. I’m using arch on my workstation/personal rig for years. Fedora on the laptop because I need a stable work thing. Alpine VMs on the homelab because it needs light and stable.

USECASES!

I second the fedora kde spin. Been using it for years on my work laptops. Hasnt failed me yet.

Right, yeah, guess I’m in the wrong with this one.

No. The question was technical. Not political. It does not even occur to you that you can explain something without bringing in mention of the political situation, does it?

Does it do “the vpn thing” - yes or no.

Does it record your data - yes or no.

Does it log trafffic - yes or no.

Is it stable - yes or no.

Are there caveats - if yes, which?

I take issue with mentioning the curent political landscape, because it is painfully obvious why we NEED vpn solutions in this day and age. You can flame me for it all you want. I want the discussion to be relevant. Not reddit-like.

Question about vpn … but virginia is conservative and jesus has a trump tramp stamp … dude … please stop making everything about fucking politics, please. Thank you.

Hey man, I wasn’t trying to be a jerk, I was trying to make a joke. Sorry if it came off badly, probably not my best phrasing. I guess there’s a joke to be made about my jokes in there somewhere.

Truth be told, I’m salty about proton, not necessarily about what the ceo said (that too), but its like a canary in the mine, isn’t it, a portent of things to come. So many companies are bending the knee, ufortunately.

I used to pay for proton becase it saved me time and piece of mind, now since I left I have to self-host everything, because I no longer want to move my shit around every time something goes the way of enshittification. That means time and effort spent on setting up and maintaining everything. Its a chore.

Thats why I made the joke the way I did, because I’m salty, I didn’t cook it proper. You have a good one and take care out there stranger.

Congrats! From one trump kneebender right to the other. Is this a speedrun attempt?

Well done. I appreciate the fuck out of this place.

Nah, we were running lots of pvp squads down in null in the tribute/vale region. Was lots of fun. Made some of my best friends during those times, many of which I am still friends with today.

One of them actually helped me shape my current career trajectory. I moved countries with his help.

Back in the day you could export your character data with the eve xml api. I think its called ESI these days.

Maybe I chose the words badly. I meant that want to live in a civilized place, i have been an expat for 10 years and I just want to put down roots with my wife. So far we have been moving with the jobs and I had enough. Thats what I meant with my colourful language.

If it makes you feel any better, I have approximately 14000 hours in eve online, between 2006 and 2014.

That is 30% of my waking hours. Every day. For 8 years.

Yeah, I know, I am in the process of leaving where I am now (eu citizen) and its between uk, germany and the netherlands. The reason I didnt look seriously at swiss, is because of all the stories I heard about people never integrating, despite efforts.

I’m looking for my forever place, that means balls deep in every aspect.

This is such a superficial take.

Flatpaks have their use-case. Alpine has its use-case as a small footprint distro, focused on security. Using flatpaks would nuke that ethos.

Furthermore, they need those servers to build their core and base system packages. There is no distro out there that uses flatpaks or appimages for their CORE.

Any distro needs to build their toolchain, libs and core. Flatpaks are irrelevant to this discussion.

At the risk of repteating myself, flatpaks are irrelevant to Alpine because its a small footprint distro, used alot in container base images, containers use their own packaging!

Furthermore, flatpaks are literal bloat, compared to alpines’ apk packages which focus on security and minimalism.

Edit: Flatpak literally uses alpine to build its packages. No alpine, no flatpaks. Period

Flatpaks have their use. This is not that. Check your ignorance.

So I have to move to Swiss then, got it.

So many tips, let me add mine.

• btop - for monitoring and process management
• pacseek - terminal UI for installing, searching packages (uses yay)
• chaotic aur - repo for prebuilt binaries that are generally ok

When installing use the archinstall the first time, unless you really want to go into the deep end and use the normal install.

Like folding at home :D
