YouTube erased two full years of my life.
  • Nah, we were running lots of pvp squads down in null in the tribute/vale region. Was lots of fun. Made some of my best friends during those times, many of which I am still friends with today.

    One of them actually helped me shape my current career trajectory. I moved countries with his help.

  • Alpine Linux In An Infrastructure Crisis With Equinix Metal Sunsetting
  • This is such a superficial take.

    Flatpaks have their use-case. Alpine has its use-case as a small footprint distro, focused on security. Using flatpaks would nuke that ethos.

    Furthermore, they need those servers to build their core and base system packages. There is no distro out there that uses flatpaks or appimages for their CORE.

    Any distro needs to build their toolchain, libs and core. Flatpaks are irrelevant to this discussion.

    At the risk of repteating myself, flatpaks are irrelevant to Alpine because its a small footprint distro, used alot in container base images, containers use their own packaging!

    Furthermore, flatpaks are literal bloat, compared to alpines' apk packages which focus on security and minimalism.

    Edit: Flatpak literally uses alpine to build its packages. No alpine, no flatpaks. Period

    Flatpaks have their use. This is not that. Check your ignorance.

  • Arch Linux – Best Tips for Beginners?
  • So many tips, let me add mine.

    • btop - for monitoring and process management
    • pacseek - terminal UI for installing, searching packages (uses yay)
    • chaotic aur - repo for prebuilt binaries that are generally ok

    When installing use the archinstall the first time, unless you really want to go into the deep end and use the normal install.

  • I just distro hopped after using a distro almost a year. Is it normal?
  • I did something very similar, spent about a year on fedora ... 33? then discovered "my preferred distro" and never looked back.

    Thing is that everyone finds their place with a distro and settles for as long as it suits their needs. Then, you might move on, you might not. Its just an OS, a means to an end. Use what you need, then use something else, no need to go to the doctor for hopping headaches :)

  • Flirting with Trump is flirting with Nazism - Response to Andy Yen (CEO of Proton AG) on Reddit 📢📢📢
  • I cancelled my proton the other day, right after his post.

    As alternatives:

    • tuta for mail
    • psono, keepass, passbolt (self hosted) for the password manager
    • mullvad for vpn ( actually never used the proton one, I swear by mullvad)

    Im still figuring out the drive, thinking of self hosting that too.

    Good luck out there.

  • How do you diminish the "aghh it's back to work" feeling at the beginning of the week?
  • It is THE most relevant to your problem. I have friends like you, they are miserable but never change anything about themselves to improve their life. I was the same, went to therapy, opened up and untangled the bullshit that was my brain. Takes effort man.

    You see the replies don't you? There is more than one person pointing at the problem.

  • RFC: Should I start handing out 1-day "cool off" bans to thwart flamewars?
  • Do it. But please be self-aware and remember that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    Lets not get bogged down in analysis paralysis. Do it, gauge the feedback, adjust, iterate (the beatings will continue until morale improves).
