It’s easier just recommending the distro rather than Linux in general.

I know someone who was starting to dislike windows, I sent them the Linux mint site. Had a much more positive interaction compared to when I had just previously said “what about using Linux?”

I actually think this is a similar way to push the fediverse. Just recommend a good instance instead of trying to sell them on federated technology. The federated technology will show them content and “how does this actually work” could be a conversation for later.

I use ubuntu and I don’t think I ever read docs

Actually, I had to remove snap once.

Granted, I am and was familiar with the basics of linux due to having a raspberry pi.

This trick also works

Production? That’s just our pool of thousands of testers who pay for the privilege!

Everyone arguing about the amount of keypresses to type a shutdown command and time it takes to shutdown… I just power it off at the wall. One button press, shutdown is near instantaneous

Linux from scratch

when?

Context?

Didn’t some kid make a nuclear reactor in a shed

Aren’t these corporations not the reason that we need these laws to begin with?

Mainland China is actually quite nice. Only place I’ve been outside of the UK. Barring Poland ages ago… That being said, Poland is also nice.

What a name…

“Zeit-capsule” is how I’d pronounce it

Basically every server runs linux already, so it’s already a big target

I thought they were the ones who were against “foreign interference” lmao

shodan.io might help

For a second I thought this was real. I know some companies forcibly restart their own work devices if they’re left switched on and not interacted with for a while in order to apply security patches

Is it?

Personal phone numbers are basically always 10/11 digits long (the 0 at the beginning is replaced with +44 if you’re making an international call)

Thank you, I set this up and it works 🙂
