Capitalism as a whole is almost always incompatible with anarchy, at least in the way we tend to do it now.

That last part is really important. Many anarchists, socialists, and whatnot recognize that capitalism can be fine. It’s just that humans really suck at doing capitalism, we keep doing pseudo-feudalism instead

If you’re gonna self-host you’re gonna need to learn to use a search engine. Find a tool that can be used to check what ports are open for a machine, there a several available.

I would try searching things like “Linux cli port scanner”

Reading through this made me realize that “procedurally generated” was the “AI” of my childhood. I remember seeing that phrase everywhere in game announcements and even education software. I’m surprised to see it again, because one could argue that a “procedurally generated” level is AI generated.

But I suppose Steam just proved that a lot of PC gamers aren’t buying into the AI bubble, so perhaps they’re avoiding that phrasing on purpose?

I just don’t understand your logic. In your mind it’s okay to make an assumption about the content of a link based off the name of the link. However, it’s not okay to make an assumption about the content of the other link and find out why the OP started the discussion. Rather, you believe it would be better to attack the OP for not explaining what their links were to your satisfaction.

Is that right?

The upfront reason was so that you would understand the discussion you’re part of lol

Have you hit it with anything to check if your ports are still open? There are a handful of tools for the task

What port do you have SSH set to? What ports did you change the services to? Is the SSH port open?

I think in some areas, the culture is starting to shift around that a bit. I remember the 2000-2010s era having a lot of shows that were more on-the-nose about the topic and then seeing more people talking about how to properly interact with recovering alcoholics on social media in the years following.

Purely anecdotal, of course. I just get the vibe that some areas where drinking used to be very expected, have learned to treat it as a choice

I’ve only been using Linux for around a year in total, so I’ve done plenty of “fuck this issue, where’s a ‘just works’ distro” hops lol. I still check out other distributions occasionally to see how they are, but I’ve been trying to grow accustomed to just googling anything the computer tells me that I don’t understand. If it throws a code at me, I wanna know what that code is.

Getting into this habit has made it a lot easier to just say “why are you being stupid? Let me make you not stupid and go about my business” a lot more often

I believe their point is that surveillance systems that are used to identify people are being trained on social media images and they don’t want those systems to be better. The point is not personal risk, but systemic/societal risk

My question remains, are you getting an error code? If so, google it. If not, launch from a terminal and see if you get one in there and then google it

There are only very minor…

And most of the things that impact it can be changed (relatively) easily once you know enough about poking around in config files, so if you like how Cachy or Arch or whatever does it’s presets you can definitely model your own machine after them. Just be careful, cause you’re talking about kernel-space for a lot of that

Is it giving you an error code? Could probably google it to figure out what package is affecting it and then roll that back if you are. If launching something normally isn’t throwing a code, try launching from the terminal and see if it gives you anything useful to put into a search engine

Lemmy is a link aggregator, this guy posted a link to his website and a brief (albeit lacking, I will agree with you there) description of what the links were. I don’t see any issue promoting free content in the forms of links on a link aggregator.

I also think there’s sort of a social agreement that if you’re going to make a comment about a post that exists purely as a link to elsewhere, you should probably click the link so that you know what is being discussed instead of what we’re doing, discussing the link itself lol.

I dunno if you’re trolling me or if your UI just looks different but

Having the link at the top of the post like this, because it’s embedded into the actual post instead of the body like the second link, makes it pretty clear to me that that’s a discussion link and not a podcast link

The in-body link is to the podcast, but the post itself is a link to discuss.james.network which is a transcription of the guide

You don’t even have to listen to a podcast to find out how misguided this comment is. Click the link, it’s all transcribed. It’s not a question, it’s a guide.

If you’re not interested in the content, scroll past instead of being rude to people.

This is a great explanation except for one detail. Stability refers to release cycles in the Linux world, so your description of stability is a little redundant. The word you’re looking for is reliability, but all 3 of the giants provide that.

The release cycle and the package managers are the two biggest factors that most people decide their distro based off. There are some more considerations as you get deeper into the Linux world, like your init system and whatnot, but those two are the big drivers IME.

Okay, it was my neat math class trick. I was a lame nerd, you caught me… My calculus teacher thought it was cool okay??? Lol

No. As a matter of fact, this is a neat party trick I used to use.

Start with literally any number, and count the letters to match it. You will always end up at four because it’s the only English word and Arabic numeral represented with equivalent letters.
