I was born in the 2000s, I’ve heard of the PS2 but never had one in my life (although I had original Xboxes in my life so maybe I just had the weird family). I had a PS3 growing up, and a few of my friends had xb360s, but then I moved to PC.

Have you actually used an IBM PS/2?

For #2, Full Disk Encryption (including bootloader)

He’s still doing the same work, and usually works hand in hand with other like minded folks, at least according to his wikipedia page. He did also make the consumer rights wiki recently which is nice as well.

Ah, a tradie.

This is what the fediverse needs more of :)

Reworded it instead, but thanks for the correction.

Proof-of-work in approach, not towards the same ends. The goal is to prevent scraping, not monetization.

The wikipedia search method to find the official sites has never failed me.

Depends on the state. The Florida Mindset is not a universal one.

Southeners… Southeners never change.

How’s OpenStreetMap for that and walking around? I’ve degoogled a bit ago and have been using Co-Maps for cycling and driving navigation, but I never tried using it for nature preserves and trails (or walking around the streets where I live in the US).

Honestly both are fine as long as you stay within or below the average healthy limits (roughly 320mg/day for caffeine, weed might be less tested in that regard).

Just know your own limits and make sure you have water with you.

Our admin’s been pretty good about staying on top of it, all things considered (uptime roughly 99%). I’m sure they’ve already taken measures.

Instance was down (user here), and now it’s back up. But yeah, check if your area might have the domain blacklisted (someone relay this if OP cannot see)

Tbf, I believe CachyOS has taken the reigns of “Arch based gaming distro that doesn’t have immutable OS restrictions”, so that’d probably the easiest solution for that.

On the slackware note though, my uncle still uses it (I think it was Puppy last I checked). He was a former chip designer at IBM and Intel, and got on the linux for privacy bandwagon long enough ago to show me the ropes of linux as I was growing up.

As a youngblood I have heard of the iron stability of Debian, but simply find it difficult to adopt for gaming-related reasons (both hosting and as a game client).

I do wish to one day study the greybeards’ work for a future project box, however. That knowledge needs to be part of my generation as well, for at least a few of us.

The only reason I have ubuntu on my home server is because apparently Pterodactyl Panel is reliant on some aspects of it vs. Mint. It’s frustrating that way.

GNOME (by default), Snaps forced on you OOB rather than being an optional thing during setup or in any of the GUI settings, locking newer security updates behind a subscription, and Cannonical just being a bad captain of the ship.

There’s a reason why Mint is hailed as the new “casual (non-gaming) user favorite”, since it’s literally just Ubuntu sans GNOME and the hostile update design decisions.

Got my vote.
