idk why, but everytime I try archinstall it breaks in one way or another. I'm sure it works perfectly well for everyone else, I'm just cursed

note: not seeking advice, I prefer my manually installed FDE + secureboot EFISTUB setup anyways

I admire your dedication, but you really could've just done this

btrfs fi mkswapfile --size 16G /swap
swapon /swap

zfs send -I

BG3 did everything well, no surprises there

I would rather do that instead of indirectly killing a bunch of unwilling people, yeah.

I know right, like give me womanpages I'd read those

Yeah, it's insane we still have to deal with this in 2023.. and it's even worse for trans people, "transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely" and all that.

There are people who aren't financially independent yet that are facing the very real possibility of getting disowned by their family and thrown out on the street if they come out as anything but cishet. It sucks, but keeping this kind of information private can be lifesaving.

Lemmy but twitter instead of reddit.

The contacts are gold, which definitely doesn't oxidize any more than solder considering it, y'know, doesn't oxidize in air at all ever. The solder doesn't really add any contact surface area, and even if it did, it makes no difference for digital signals. "Better conductivity" doesn't improve digital sigs either. And why would the contacts ever disconnect?

I can't confirm the last paragraph, but HDD manufacturers could just move the PCB closer to the chassis and/or make the contacts' springs a bit stiffer to achieve the exact same thing, which is slightly more pressure between the contacts. That's literally all you're getting here.

I'm pretty sure that most lemmy instances run on a VPS, where the only thing you actually have to worry about usually is securing SSH, i.e. only using keys and setting up fail2ban. After that it's only a matter of securing lemmy the software itself, which is a whole other discussion.

yeah, from my experience lemmy has way fewer but more active users compared to reddit

Because I don't want to be reliant on someone else's servers, plus I can set it up exactly how I want.

As for how I pay for the server, I use a free OCI VPS, so... I don't.
