You’re shadowboxing with a nonexistent Linux user. People do that kind of stuff as a hobby, not for status. Most people who are into that sort of thing are too asocial to use any social capital they might have anyway.

This isn’t gen Z slang. It’s largely butchered AAVE (which is an entirely valid dialect with its own internally consistent grammar and vocabulary). Many such cases.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How "heavy" is self-hosting matrix really?English
3·2 days agoThere are different server implementations. I run tuwunel and haven’t had problems. It seems about as performant on my VPS (8GB RAM, 4 CPUs at 2.4 GHz, hosting other services not just tuwunel) as matrix.org was when I used that.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Leak confirms GrapheneOS & Motorola partnership for non-Pixel hardware - PiunikaWeb
131·2 days agoIt’s great to see a mainstream OEM work with GOS. I really hope Motorola will make phones with an actual headphone jack. That’s my no. 1 complaint about modern Pixel hardware.

Programming@programming.dev•Are there programmers that still don't use AI?
0·7 days agoI don’t. I don’t care how much AI “evolves”. I don’t need it so I don’t use it.
Restaurants exist and some of them are quite good. But I still have a home cooked meal for every meal. The existence of restaurants doesn’t make home cooking obsolete.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•The hammer and sickle symbolized the biggest groups of proletarians, manual laborers and farmers. What would today's symbol be?
36·11 days agoIt didn’t symbolise that. It symbolises the unity between the industrial proletariat and the peasantry. It’s not about different proletarian occupations; it’s about a class alliance between two working classes.
The peasantry doesn’t exist anymore in most parts of the world, but imo most people understand the hammer and sickle to symbolise communism anyway so it still works.
if you cannot even htop, then I doubt a daemon could do something.
The point is that a daemon can catch it before it reaches that point by killing processes that are using too much resources, before all the system resources are used up.
Thanks. I’ve had a couple of comments suggesting that it might be a memory leak instead of CPU usage anyway so I’ve installed earlyoom and we’ll see if that can diagnose the problem, if not I’ll look into CPU solutions.
Open a console with top/htop and check if it will be visible when the system halts.
That would require me to have a second machine up all the time sshed in with htop open, no? Sometimes this happens on the server while I’m asleep and I don’t really want a second machine running 24/7.
Afraid I’m using OpenRC.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs?
0·1 month agoThey get trained. Think about humans for example. There’s lots of stuff we don’t think twice about doing that aren’t necessarily things we would naturally do; they’re taught to us socially and we get used to them as part of life. Horses were domesticated, firstly selectively bred to be friendlier to humans and faster, but secondly they still get trained to form a bond with humans and to do what humans want them to do. They get used to being ridden.

Linux@lemmy.ml•LFS drops support for System V, citing workload problems and upstream dependencies on systemd
4·1 month agoWow, that surprises me. I did LFS with Sys-V (didn’t continue to use it after I set up X11 as I couldn’t be bothered with package maintenance/mostly did it as an exercise rather than for the sake of the finished system) and found it a fun project.
I wonder how many LFS users use GNOME or something that depends on systemd…
It might not be autism, it might be just lacking context as to what they mean. The kid is likely very young so they might not know what alphabetical order means. It’s a reasonable guess given the lack of explanation in the worksheet.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would you be willing to finish a project or creation instantly, in exchange for losing any experience or materials you'd otherwise have doing it the long way?
5·1 month agoI don’t think the book and program examples are equivalent. You can edit a manuscript easily but it’d be a big headache to edit a binary program either through a hex editor or decompiling it and figuring out what it all does. I think an equivalent would be receiving the finished source code, as though someone else coded it for you.
Anyway, if it’s a personal project I want to do for the sake of it, then no, I like the process and the amount of control. If it’s something I’m only doing because I want the end product then maybe, but would have to decide on a case by case basis.
I don’t think any of those types of guns count as “non-violent”. None of the movements that have been the most effective have been strictly non-violent. You don’t have to be killing people at every action you do, but all the most effective movements have been willing to strategically use violence whenever the situation calls for it. Every strictly non-violent movement I’ve seen has simply been shooting themselves in the foot. When you’re shot at, shoot back, or you’re a coward obsessed with losing.
Shooting cops with guns.

Technology@lemmy.world•DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AIEnglish
12·1 month agoOn duckduckgo.com it’s unfortunately enabled by default though. You have to go out of your way to set your search browser to noai.duckduckgo.com if you want default AI disabled (which you’ll want on e.g. private browsing windows/any browser that autodeletes cookies when you close it). It’s extra hassle because most privacy web browsers use DDG by default, not the noai subdomain.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ?
0·1 month agoWtf is wrong with being a former heroin addict? I know plenty of drug users and former drug users who aren’t fascist shitstains and are actually pleasant people. Also like, you’re going after him for being a former addict? God forbid someone be in a bad place in life and luckily manage to recover from it… Addiction, a health condition, just morally scars you for life then? Would you say that about someone who recovered from cancer? Fuck off.
The terminal lets you delete the system with the same checks as GUIs, i.e. you’d be prompted for a privilege escalation password… If you delete random user files in the terminal then you can do that in a graphical file browser too. Just don’t run random commands without knowing what they do.


My mostly-vanilla (ie mods don’t hugely change gameplay/add anything crazy) Rimworld runs fine on my probably what’s considered mid-range PC. I second the other commenter; you probably need to cut back on the mods.
