IRC, bulletin boards that had links to each other…. The old net was decentralised by default.

Nice to see someone else was around when the lore was written :D

In NZ instead of AOL it was xtra and Paradise.

Wholeheartedly agree. Not too many more though I hope. Once a platform reaches a certain point all the general public arrives and everything goes to shit. You have to keep your corner of the internet nerdyish to avoid this. Been true since the early 2000s for forums and then social media.

Cheers mate.

Article said one HDMI, at least 3 USB-C + power. Doesn’t mention Ethernet at all. Does the Apple TV have Ethernet? That looks like the form factor they’re starting from.

Non profits qualify for 10 free business premium licenses with MS. Hopefully a Linux cloud provider has something similar. You don’t want to have to go back to the church every week right?

OP, listen to this person. Docker will earn you cash. Podman is nicer to work with for your own shit.

You’re usually stuck with what your seedbox provider gives you.

No. Plenty of places pay devs well. Top end jobs are mostly in the US. There are plenty of well paying jobs elsewhere.

We had edited photos for decades. There’s no difference in the effect.

And yes, people have been working on AI in earnest since the 80s, just wasn’t in the public space.

Plenty of regular folks calling for this for decades and only once someone far enough up the money tree gets hurt do they do something. Frankly disgusting.

I’ve done the same thing as the person you replied to is suggesting for around 10 years now. It works very well for a home user because parts etc are readily available. Most hypervisors will run on x86/amd64 hardware without issue. Check out something other than proxmox. LXC is one suggestion. If you’re going to stick with Debian look into SAMBA with BIND to ensure ease of sharing and cross platform integration.

Another reason to not get an old server is power, noise and thermals. They’re designed to live in an air conditioned room. Anyone who works in server rooms for any length of time will tell you to wear ear protection.

The web version and the new version look and feel nearly identical for me. Been using it at work for 6 months now.

WSL was a good start, change comes slowly to monoliths but they always have shareholder value as their defining principle so it’s a real tightrope.

Get a used leaf and park there.

Genuinely, never. It wasn’t that popular in my country.

When’s the last time you heard of anyone buying an individual song / album on iTunes?

I’m yet to hear a first time, and I remember when mp3s first became a thing.

Fuckin oath. If we cater to the stupid too much the folks who are middling just get lazy. Make people think. It’s important that we know how to use our brains.

Is the OS set to dark mode or automatic?

In the early days when it was first created from the Netscape baseit was definitely branded as Mozilla. Source: I’m old enough to have used it then. Check its wiki page. Covers its early days as an app suite which included the browser.
