you could host a gitea instance and use it to keep the scripts and config used to provision it in a git repo

sorry popos didn't work for you. linux mint is excellent :D

this is also true

dislexically misread this as "poops doesn't work on my machine"

I want to say at least two years now. I used Ubuntu for >10 years before that, but I kept running into issues with snaps which drove me to Pop.

On the side, System76 (popos people) is making a new Rust-based "Cosmic" desktop to eventually replace the GNOME based one. If you've used cosmic-text in a Rust project, that is what it's from!

do it do it do it join the linux fanclub

it's so funny they named it copilot. the ejection seat and plane wreck jokes quite literally write themselves.

yeah pop os looks pretty damn snazzy. might give it a try. how long have you been using it for?

Ya! My only arguments for pop os ("Pop! OS") is that i love the defaults, so i'll just list the defaults i like

it's based on ubuntu, which is based on debian, has no "snaps" (bad package manager system that has caused my a lot of problems), and it's custom GNOME-based desktop environment has builtin window tiling and stacking.

i like tiling a lot because i dislike the other tiling WMs which all expect you to memorize shortcuts.

i have an nvidia GPU so the ISO that comes with the appropriate drivers builtin is very very nice

Hmm maybe i'll have a tiny dual boot partition but I don't believe anything i play uses anti-cheat.

Also I really just want something stable that I don't have to fiddle with much aside from mouse speed/acceleration settings which is why I'm looking at debian. If you have any other recs that would fill that role though I'm open to hearing them

I'm a longtime Linux user here. If you're looking for any distro recommendations, I can write a really long annoying post about it. (luv luv luv popos)

Proton IS awesome. If you told me in 2017 that "Linux desktop is going to be a viable platform for Gamers" I would have thought you were a delusional Linux stan.

But now, videogames which don't work on Linux are the exception and that's increasingly rare. It's mind-boggling. Most of the exceptions are competitive online games with anticheat enabled.

virgin hyperloop

heh, clearly should've [coughing so hard nondescript red chunks come out] clearly should've tried to made a chad hyperloop,

In 2020, it conducted its first — and only — test with human passengers. The pod only reached a top speed of 100mph,

fucking typical innit

"it was a dream too impossible for this world" is way too generous lmao

the evil is defeated

This is the kind of thing that would make me close the issue tracker and open up a mailing list with the gnarliest designed for netscape 2.0 web interface imaginable

i want to gatekeep git a little bit because of this person

danbooru is anti-post you heard it here first

Mastodon users would also be horrified to see their replies getting heavily downvoted in danbooru. Danbooru is ruthless and brutal when it comes to silly comments :P

I'm not even joking about the comments getting downvoted, I just said "maricup" in a post of glasses Mima holding a cup with Marisa's face on it and I got -3 points as of writing https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/493392#comment_2347374

"because danbooru contains some brilliant stolen porn i need to see it from my mastodon server"

as someone in the sphere of mastodon that actually cares about moderation, lol a federated danbooru would be blocked en masse so instantly lmao

This is to me just like teens who don't understand that Archive of Our Own is, in fact, an archive and not a social media site so it will never have an algorithmic feed.

it seems like open source software is mostly a hassle but the upside is that whenever someone comes to you with a feature request you can say "if its so important do it yourself mother fucker"

oh hey, that's the weird nerd who made a zero effort 'activitypub support pls' issue on the postmill issue tracker, then thumbs upped the tone policing comments when i raised the plagiarism issue on the kbin issue tracker

open source is when you bark at other people so they make the things you want

Just as good as I remember it.

I think Mastodon and other fediverse servers already require that your ISP allows outgoing email, since there would be no way for you to send your password reset or account verification emails

yeah this is true, but if you were to build a whole system around emails, then the contents would be arbitrary and the magnitude would be far greater, increasing the chance of running into problems with spam blacklists which ISPs hate to be on (see, for instance, digitalocean's spam policy)

And deliverability to providers like Gmail is not a big deal to me IMO either, if say Raddle can suddenly talk with people from riseup.net for example, that's a big win to me.

yeah this may or may not be an issue depending on exactly how the system works

Anyway you're the actual dev here who has way more experience doing server shit than me so maybe I'm just spouting some BS lol, so I will just defer to your wisdom :)

i don't think it's BS. i just foresee there being some problems with the idea, and i know from experience having worked with mail servers that it's something i personally never want to touch lol. but if this is a thing you want to build, then i think you should go for it, if only for the learning experience.
