To exorcise parasites from the earth, ram a cross into the ground and ~~magic~~ godly waves will drive then out

• Arch
• daily everything (programming, gaming, whatever else flies my way)
• good, wouldn't recommend this in particular to new people unless they aren't afraid of a steep learning curve
• privacy, more control over my system, and my computer finally does what I tell it to. (Even if sometimes it probably shouldn't, but then that's on me). Oh also: it makes programming so much more enjoyable. Need a dependency pacman -Syu whatever-i-need, done.

Just because it bugs me to no end: thats the original purpose of a VPN, not some privacy snakeoil. That being said most host-discovery doesn't work reliably, or is not implemented by most programs.

As someone who quite enjoys lengthy video essays about obscure topics, I disagree.

Yes, even if the group is racist bigots, warlords, or plain malicious idiots, those are still covered under "any group". And I would argue that that is a good thing. Not that these groups exist, but that there are no exceptions one might use to create trouble for users.

Seeing how the nouveau-right loves playing their victim card, that will just be gasoline for their hate-engine.

If you see crypto as an investment, you shouldn't use crypto, imho.

Not sure reality agrees here. Unless the project is huge, it will most likely not see any money. With copy-left code they are at least required to share their improvements and contribute that way. (I am aware of the no-gpl policies of many companies)

What's probably a better Model are Nextcloud's "SupportaaS", Sourcehut's consultancy, or mailcow's SaaS. (I also see SaaS critically, but if it's Libre I'm okay with it)

EarthPorn was a great place, but BeautifulPlaces really would've been the better name.

Nur als Anmerkung: niemand sagt man solle Vermögen auf 0 reduzieren (wie damals). Was Leute sagen: man wird ohne Ausbeutung anderer Manschen kein Multimillionär.

Dear Debian users: please also update your Debian version, not just your packages. Like... once a decade would be an improvement for many poor servers.

I want it to last. At least 5 years.

That is something that would be very hard to legislate. Especially since battery lifetime is dependent on a variety of external factors (charging-style, temperature of the device, luck). Build quality certainly also factors in, but even the best battery won't survive a 10 year old regularly overheating their phones with games and charges it for the entire night. I would love to see OEMs implement nice things like "capacity settings", where you can set your device to stop charging at 80% and show it as 100%.
