Puppy has saved my ass multiple times. Love that tiny dog.

Speaking of Tails, a security minded user can also try out Qubes as well. It uses virtualization to separate different contexts like Work, Personal, Social, etc. You can have your Work profile connect to your workplace VPN while your Personal profile is on a torified connection in parallel. It does have its drawbacks, however. You need more system resources, and anything that requires direct access to GPU like videogames is not officially supported.

So we’ll have to say GNU/Linux/SystemD soon?

No problems running on the AMD graphics?

I’ve made the switch over a decade ago. Ubuntu was the gateway drug. I have to use windows at work, but that’s it.

I’m guessing there’s a reduced pool of desktop pc users, thus Linux users are now slightly bigger in proportion? There has been big advances regarding Linux adoption, too.

Similar here. I have switched to xfce after struggling with gnome and kde.

I used Opera when it used Presto instead of becoming a yet another chromium. I miss that one.

The message speaks well of my situation, but that doesn’t mean I’ll buy a fucking Sneakers™ like a mindless consumer drone. FUCK™ YOU™ BRAND™

Its very ingrained on me that a proper business should be able to spare a few on a domain for themselves, as I remember it before the dot-com bubble.

Now? Websites have been displaced by social media altogether and many small business simply prefer having an Instagram profile, for example.

Yeah, that’s what happens, something cool but that’s it. It would be nice if l could use it for something else other than a glorified online resume.

I also bought a cheap domain for experimenting around, so that’s where all my “not so professional” stuff goes.

What about Yunohost? Its made for newbies getting into selfhosting and has Jitsi support.

I’d rather have a text-only instance with no media at all. Can this be done?

Does that disable image saving and processing for one’s instance?

First you need to put on your robe and wizard hat.

I’m afraid they’ll break off Debian one day. Supporting snap is one thing, sabotaging well established user cases (apt installing deb, not being a snap prozy) is another.

Is that even possible now? When I attempted buying a domain for 10 years, it showed me the numbers as if I had renewed the domain 9 times instead of 10 times the purchasing price.

I heard .org domains were preferred to avoid these kind of price hikes, how true is this?

Sometimes you need to see its contents (e.g. store listing prices only on IG) and don’t want to make a Meta account for obvious reasons. Plus it skips all the tracking bs.

I hope they don’t get shut down like Bibliogram. I hate having to login (on top of having an account to start with) to see a link I was sent.

I see where this can be useful, but is this list categorized or at least indicate why a certain instance was added?

It’s different blocking an instance for simply repeated toxic behavior vs political leanings. Sometimes an instance can have both.

Letting new admins know and select categories/tags to block or let through could be an improvement, if it isn’t there already:

• NSFW (sometimes people want a SFW site, like browsing at work)
• NSFL (porn might be okay but not everyone have fond memories of ogrish.com and likes)
• Illegal in X jurisdiction (e.g. CSAM)
• Far right or far left
• Repeated instances of troll / spam bot accounts
• Abandoned by admin
