“We believe in an open internet… as long as you use these specific services.”

This really sucks. So we’re looking at a future where search engines are like streaming services now. “Hmmm now which search engine was <insert website here> on?”

I was entering my teens in the early 2000’s. My memory is terrible but my family got a pentium 3 desktop PC and I remember I had some versions of SuSE, Ubuntu and Mandrake (or was it Mandriva by then) on that PC at one time or another. My family never knew how to use it because it was different all the time. Heck I didn’t know how to use it.

When I built my first PC, a pentium 4, I dual booted windows and some flavour of Linux for a time, but I got into PC gaming so I only casually checked out new releases of Ubuntu over the years. Once Proton arrived though it was finally time to make the switch.

I’m not a developer, I made a pong clone with python once because I wanted to learn for the sake of it, but I support a few projects financially that I enjoy, I try to submit bug reports best I can. For the most part the community is great, and yes I use Arch btw.

This is what happened to me just recently. Have been using Niagara for about a year but just discovered Kvaesitso. They each do some things better than the other but both have some really great features that aren’t just about what you can do to a 5 x 6 grid.

If I sell all my megalixers I’ve never used I could probably keep Firefox funded for years.

Less hyped this expansion but that makes sense as it’s a new beginning. Can’t wait nonetheless, I always come back to XIV.

Late reply, but I’ve got 4 proxmox nodes. TrueNAS with an HBA passed through, the arr stack, jellyfin, Home assistant, Nextcloud, bookstack, Unifi network application, Kavita, a windows VM with a 3080ti passed through that the kids can connect to using moonlight to play games on various tvs/devices. Various Linux distros to play around and test configs before I make any serious changes to my main desktop. Most recently set up graylog to pull in logs from pfsense and Unifi.

I have an insatiable thirst to just learn!

I rented this game so much as a kid but never made it past Threed. I never cared and just loved roaming around. It wasn’t until years later, just a few years ago now that I finally completed it start to finish and got to see how much more bonkers it got.

Well the CEO just had a massive panic attack yesterday and said there’s no way we’re going to finish this major project in time and the company is now ruined. The company is only one person. It’s me.

I always do this too. You think I’m going to finish my meal with 2 bites of chicken in a row?! No chance. Gotta be a clean finish with a bite of salad, bite of rice, bite of chicken.
