First of all, our computers are always on. Those kernels don't compile themselves, three times a day. Secondarily we could, at least, turn our machines on without having to install a dozen of updates before having to reboot again.

I knew there had to be a different reason for global warming. Linux users don't turn off their computers, thats why!

If systems that run Linux were to power down, that's it for almost all of the internet.

Sure, if you mean global data centers ;)

If people could just be kind and turn off the server when they leave.

If you close a tab, get a prompt; "it looks like you're leaving this website, would you like to power down the server(s)?"

[-] groet@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

And all websites use wake-on-lan over the internet so the first person every day just starts the server and the last one turns off the lights!

That's kinda how serverless works. You rent cpu time from a bigger cloud vendor and only spin up your servers when there is traffic.

My Ubuntu server has about 3 years of uptime right now, I don't get this mémé

[-] b_tr3e@feddit.org 5 points 3 months ago

Ubuntu doesn't count. It's not a real Linux.

No, heretic. I'm more the orthodox kind of defender of the faith.

Good one. I didn't even know there was such a thing.

[-] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 0 points 3 months ago

Heretic?? Hahahahahahahaha!!!

Orthodox... I'm guessing vanilla Debian or Gentoo.

[-] b_tr3e@feddit.org 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Right. Debian is the Roman Catholicism among the Linuces.

[-] lemming741@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Does that make Ubuntu protestant?

[-] b_tr3e@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

The word is "H E R E T I C".

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago

Nah I think Ubuntu is more Mormon than anything. It's heavily influenced by other branches like Protestant and Catholic but also spends a bunch of time going and doing it's own thing that everyone else agrees is weird and different and probably wrong
