An interesting caveat I’ve found for self-hosting is that getting server hardware in Canada is harder now that several companies, most notably NewEgg, have decided that any equipment that might have a business use case requires a business account and license, meanwhile Americans can still buy things like rackmount hardware no issues.

You can still get rackmount stuff on Amazon, but fuck Bezos. I’d like a better option. I’ve found some places like AVADirect that will ship to Canada, but not any Canadian businesses that sell that stuff to normal Canadians.

That would be an interesting list.

Sounds like you’re into guilty until proven innocent, which is pretty warped.

I tried to recreate the emoticon you used, but this was the closest I could get with the available options.

You fall into gravity wells, they don’t suck you.

Best way to understand is to get the mental image of spacetime as a 3d sheet like grid, where each object pushes down on it and creates a pit, or well. The bigger the object the deeper the well, and the more force you will need to stop yourself from sliding towards the object and propelling yourself back up the slope.

In Plasma 6 there are a crazy number of ways to skin and change the look.

This video was a good way for me to learn some of the basics. https://youtu.be/R6C-RNhHMrE

KDEs vision is letting users have the experience they want. You can have a vision without limiting configurability and cramming bad UX down the pipe to your users.

I used Gnome Shell 3 for 4 years before giving up on it and going to KDE.

The huge differentiator is that KDE may look like windows OOTB on most distros, but if you want you can easily make it look like Gnome, Mac, Unity… whatever. The panels and menus are infinitely configurable.

And that is why this meme is dead on the money. I’ve come to hate dev teams that have “visions” that they cram down users throats regardless of the experience. And the irony is that Gnome 2 used to be much more configurable than older KDE versions.

I did a wtf at dude 4 in frame 3 until I realized he was getting punched and not… well… if you don’t see it maybe I’m just net-warped.

Ok, and are you saying that to the OP, or China? Wasn’t much context there.

This apparently translates to “hang your mother”

most likely a bot.

What a horrible day to have eyes.

Hmm, interesting. Looking it up on Wikipedia it seems the entomology of the term is a bit of a grey area.

My definition is what I heard growing up, admittedly this is one of those things I never bothered to read about.

Boxing day was named for being the day that everyone got rid of their boxes from Christmas. Its a holiday the day after Christmas and usually involves lots of store sales.

It’s kind of like Canada’s gentler version of Black Friday.

That guy just got replaced by KFC Santa is all.

Clearly written by an LLM. Math is hard.
