That logo design though, 🔥 fire fire fire

Tori. Play music in your terminal. Built in rust and has great performance, and low trace on memory impact.

Imagine paying the same price for a car that lacks the technology of:

  • Smart screen

    • With heat resistant materials that are designed to resist high temperatures and still function properly (i.e in summer times)
    • With GPS features, and media access
  • But the screen still sucks because you can literally buy a magnet and stick your phone there, and still be able to do literally everything a smart screen car do.

I mean id still buy it because I prefer cars that are not so impractical, but it's a shame that it still costs practically the same.

Conceptually, a smart screen sounds like a good idea, but the implementation is bad.

Wow. For real ???

You learn something new everyday.

But yeah, I never saw divers getting stunned/ killed even when diving near whales.

It could be that it never happened, but that's like such a high variance to have never happened.

Not surprised. Black rock company is probably in the lead when it comes to that.

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful insights. Your perspective adds depth to the discussion, and I find your analysis intriguing. It has given me valuable insights.

And it's great that we align on this matter. I value the exchange of ideas, and it's reassuring to find common ground in our views.

Who knows what new understandings we might uncover in the future ?

When I read the news I had conflicting emotions of pity but also understanding for his behaviour, in a manner of speaking (hence my initial comment, and my stance in disbelief). "What if he's only a single piece of pieces that are being moved around by various factors ?", including his environment. For instance, if his post immediate environment is presenting a supportive attitude towards ALL Palestinians, that could actually be wrongly perceived.

Exuding highly reactive aggressive behaviour is often correlated with high levels of neuroticism and emotional factors at play, from my understanding.

Here is an interesting excerpt from psychologist expert, Arlin Cunic, "A smaller-scale study found that after viewing unpleasant images, people rating higher in neuroticism had lower oxygen levels in their lateral prefrontal cortex than those with lower neuroticism ratings..", https://www.verywellmind.com/how-neuroticism-affects-your-behavior-4782188

I have come across these concepts before from documentaries and vast inputs, but your insights has driven me to do a brief research about it; specifically about neuroticism. Quite fascinating.

It is indeed of most import to address these complex cases, without having to leave them at the wits of those who prefer idleness.

N. I have always wanted to join Reddit, but didn't find much purpose or reason to do it. There seemed to be a bunch of people already commenting and making reasonable propositions on posts. I also didn't see it reasonable for me to take from my own time and others just to say something that may not always be correct or valuable to anything.

I have been using an app called 'Stealth' to scroll for major news and events around the world, and I surprisingly found it valuable on its own, just seeing what people say and whatever the news are about. But I thought maybe it is time to change that and switch to a Lemmy server where I could actually add my input.

I have always thought that a time like this would have come, sooner or later. So I choose now.

And I personally thank the maintainer of this Lemmy instance, for making a Linux server instance on Lemmy available and possible.

I do not know how long it will stay up (here's hoping) so I may as well create my own host server too. I don't know when either. 😁


So that's the other part of the story, if my dear readers would have liked more insight. But my intentions and goals will remain the same so long as I am here.

Still not convincing me to open an account with epic games. Lol. Maybe I'm lazy ... Or don't have time !?

Absolutely!

I started with mint. Hated it.

Ubuntu, Pop_Os. Hated it.

Fedora. Hated it.

Archlinux, okay, but not so much.

Manjaroo, hated it.

And now I settled with Garuda and Nobara. Like them.

I used Nobara for niche gaming (rarely use it now).

And Garuda Linux for dev work, and downloading and installing stuff, including proprietary packages. And I don't have to configure all the things to make it capable of allowing me to download stuff from all the nice mirrors, such as the community arch mirror.

Nobara, on the other hand, is great at handling compatibility issues kinda out of the box. Such [Edit1: as GPU] drivers.

The reason I disliked the aforementioned distros was solely because of how much involved I had to be to configure them to integrate with my rare WiFi chip drivers, which triggered me when I banged my head at the keyboard for hours only to find out that my WiFi driver was not supported.

But Garuda and Nobara or a blessing, and a chef's kiss.

That's coming from a person who tried more than 20+ distros and/or their derivatives.

[Edit2:] All in all, I would recommend what the comment above suggested, as that will help you find your own path. The samurai path, the kenjutsu path, or the kendo path, the peaceful path, or the hackers path. ;)

[Edit3: sorry Debian users, but I DID try your distros, I just didn't want to bother with them much as they had compatibility issues too !]

There are teachings I have read/ discovered through YouTube (can't remember exactly where) about the reasons and the philosophy behind moving to docker, or having it as a state machine.

Have you considered looking into dockers alternatives, also ?

Here is 1 of the sources that may give you insights:

https://www.cloudzero.com/blog/docker-alternatives/

-- There has been some concerns over docker's licensing and, as such, some people have started preferring solutions such as podman and containerd.

Both are good in terms of compatibility and usability, however I have not used them extensively.

Nonetheless, I am currently using docker for my own hyperserver [Edit2: oops, I meant hypervisor ✓, not hyperserver] purposes. And I am also a little concerned about the future of docker, and would consider changing sometime in the future.

[Edit1: I am using docker because it is easy to make custom machines, with all files configurations, and deploy them that way. It is a time saver. But performance wise, I would not recommend it for major machines that contain major machine processes and services. And that's just the gist of it].

I edited the original post because I thought some points would have been better articulated in expressing myself, now that I took a look at it a second time. It's only paraphrasing changes and minor grammatical details, however. I assure you.

Hello everyone,

I just joined the Linux community on Lemmy.

Love Gnu/ Linux. Would love to create my own custom Linux servers and machines one day, and I'm already on that path.

(Maybe only a quarter of the way though. 😁)

I don't know what else to say, other than that the goals and admirations and aspirations of Gnu/ Linux fall in line with my personal endeavours in creating a collaborative and supportive environment that drives creativity, freedom, and independence.

This initiative comes from the beautiful but encouraging and supportive community that I had the chance to speak to and talk to (in matrix), which focused on the social values of providing free and opensource resources to people around the world - which is unfortunately neglected by many, if not exploited and abused, and not mentioned, around the world (or at least the society that I have been in contact with in my life, including in the academic aspect and the organisational aspect).

Of course, I also listened to Linus and Richard stallman respectively (I do not endorse any of RMS's political, religious, or ideological beliefs).

The building blocks upon which helped create Gnu/ Linux what it is today. The ankle point that holds many organisations and companies around the world. The hard working and faithful people that strived in creating values in all of their forms to support such initiatives.

And it reminds me of a beautiful qoute, said by [childhood] friend, Mr. Fred Rogers:

"L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux".

"What is essential is invisible to the eyes".

Originally written by good sir story writer: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. (Recommend reading chapter 10).

My nickname here (or username) does not reflect my real name, but I do find joy in nicknames too. You could call me Engelbert, for casually-endorsing-social-conversations' - sake'.

And I am here to learn, and exchange knowledge and experiences with others too ! Help and give advice, and seek out challenging issues the community may be facing.

Talk to me about anything. Religion, culture, history, politics, some good philosophy, but mostly Gnu/ Linux, Rust, design philosophy !

(If you feel that the subject is too sensitive, we may have a private council together 😀).

My goal is, as a gesture of goodwill and thanksgiving, to give back to society and give back to people who helped shape and create this society the way it is today, all things regarding Gnu/ Linux and the opensource objectives.

I have read more than 5 books in rust, and I'm still nowhere near perfect. I had more than 50+ projects in rust (small to medium, nothing crazy), had experience in C, C++, and C#.

On final note, I would like to mention these beautiful words by imam Ali: "Hide the good you do, and make known the good done to you !".


Thank you for having me !

Sir Engelbert.
