A "server" is just a remote computer "serving" you stuff, after all. Although, if you have stuff you would have trouble setting up again from scratch, I'd recommend you look into making at least these parts of your setup repeatable, be it something fancy ala Ansible, or even just a couple of bash scripts to install the correct packages and backing up your configs.

Once you're in this mindset and take this approach by default, changing machines becomes a lot less daunting in general. A new personal machine takes me about an hour to setup, preparing the USB included.

If it's stuff you don't care about losing, ignore everything I just said. But if you do care about it, I'd slowly start by giving from the most to least critical parts. There's no better time to do it than when things are working well haha!

Neither of your statements are antithetical to mine.

Their whole business model is pleasing advertisers, for better or for worse. IMHO mostly for worse.

Hmm yep, you’re right. Wasn’t aware of this, funny.

All CLAs aren’t created equal, IMHO. I ain’t a lawyer, but looks to me like K8s’s grants the CNCF a license to the use and patent your code, but you remain the copyright owner. As far as these things go, this one doesn’t look that terrible, at first glance. Or, at least, I’ve seen worse.

Oh I don’t think I’m particularly old, statistically speaking I’ve got about the same amount or a bit more left to go… We just all have those moments that make you realize time flies, don’t we?

Naming is really hard, I can’t blame you haha. I never had to name public facing things, at work I usually advocate for either really straightforward descriptive names or just having fun on a theme (e.g. we had classical music based stuff at one place, like Orchestra, Sonata, Symphony, and pop culture/nerdy stuff at another like Marvel heroes or SW characters, etc). Coming up with a name that’s marketable, discoverable and searchable sounds like a nightmare lol

I’m also too lazy to setup macros outside my editor 🙈

Yeah that’s fair. If you’re looking for reproductive capacity, you’re indeed going to have a bad time sticking with trans women…

IMHO for kids it’s as good and bad a time as any. Safer overall in most countries, children work less, mostly have a childhood, decent-ish education mostly, … but social media is solidly fucking them up. I thought my (33) generation was fucked by having access to the internet and knowing more about it than most of their parents way too early. IMHO, it’s nothing compared to them being practically raised to be chronically online. Ah, and the impending sense of doom from the contemporary ecological disaster we’re living in isn’t helping either. I also understand that not everyone thinks this way, it’s perfectly okay not to have kids. As a dad of 2, I wouldn’t wish it on someone who didn’t want it.

Cocks don’t turn me on either, I find them very ugly to be honest, but I’m then thinking… Do we have to find every single thing about our partners attractive? Could the right person make me overlook a penis? Maybe? Again I’m married and have been with my wife for so long that it’s all very distant hypotheticals lol

Zorin, Mint and Pop all are Ubuntu based distros that replace snaps with flatpak by default. I don't know what would make any of those any more difficult than straight up Ubuntu. I'd even argue that most mainstream distros aren't any harder to use than one another. Most of the differences between traditional distributions are behind the scenes: package manager, init system, default applications/configurations...

Even Arch, which has a reputation of being "hard", isn't particularly hard to use. It's the lack of an installer that makes people freak out. The rest is just Linux. Once you plop in a GUI for package management and a proper desktop environment, from an end user perspective, nothing of it is inherently harder.

I don't disagree. Might be dependent on specific drugs/effects? :P

There has to be millions of IoT/embedded crap that runs some long obsolete OS version or whatever. Consumer stuff indeed shifted a looong time ago.

Meshify C? I could tell it was a Fractal case just from the thumbnail haha!
