And plenty who don’t know you can GNU without Linux.

Because nobody has written the code to make it “not function like that”.

No

I like to save them for a rainy day when I need an OCD fix.

Agreed. I’ve probably got 100 keys registered with GitHub and 98 of them the private key is long destroyed due to OS reinstalls or whatnot. Format machine, new key. New machine, new key.

Because every OS they ship with they need to support. Lenovo already has a viable, cost effective, support model for endlessos because they ship and support it for educational customers.

It’s not commercially viable for them support other OS that there is near no demand for relative to their overall sales.

Your assertions are not supported by industry analysis.

While this years survey is closed, the results haven’t been published. In last year’s survey, MacOS slightly edged out Linux, moving to second place.

Lemmy, itself, does NOT collect or store IP addresses. You won’t find this information in the Lemmy database/application.

However, your IP address will be captured in the webserver logs themselves, which is typical for any connections to any webserver.

Aka PATA or IDE hard disks. Basically consumer grade kit.

The statement that the kernel would only ever handle IDE was basically a confession that this would never be a product suitable for enterprise or professional use where SCSI was the typical interface.

Don’t have a solution for everything but did want to mention that brew is as viable for Linux as it is for MacOS, except for casks. I tend to use an Ubuntu or Debian base layer and then use brew to pull in all the packages that I know I will always want later and more diverse options than what’s available in the distro, e.g. ffmpeg, Python.

A key factor is LINUX has been available for ARM since nearly “the beginning”. Unlike Windows, which was basically Intel only for well over a decade, LINUX has had strong support for multiple architectures throughout its lifecycle. As a result, software that grew up within that ecosystem tended to be more agnostic in design which helps porting efforts.

Relative to what? Relative to LINUX on Intel? Relative to Windows on ARM?

True dat. I’ve been running it about seven weeks and am pulling about 700 communities. Most have near zero traffic but the high volume ones do add up.

42G	/mnt/sp4dot1-data/appdata/mylemmy.win/
12G	/mnt/sp4dot1-data/appdata/mylemmy.win/postgres
30G	/mnt/sp4dot1-data/appdata/mylemmy.win/pictrs

I use Lemmy Community Seeder. Every four hours it checks the top posts on instances you specifies and automatically subscribes you to communities that appear there but you aren’t already subscribed to. You can tweak it to ignore specific communities or instances.

I really hope you’ve considered how much storage you’re going to need to sustain this.

We’ve got nobody to blame but ourselves for that.

I can see wanting to run your own DNS to serve personal clients for privacy purposes but for self-hosting class stuff I can think of plenty of downsides and zero upsides to privatizing this.

Definitely a “yeah, you could” vs. “yeah, you should” situation.

That’s what I’m not understanding. Willing to pay what? They’re not paying commission because they don’t owe anything. It’s not a matter of price being high or low. Why would they pay for something that they don’t have to pay for? Their cost is zero.

Are you of the belief that devs get to say, “I’m poor, I can’t pay”. Can’t really understand what your comment is implying.
