We are all doing better than the “glue yourself to things” people because they’re moving things backwards, turning people against climate action, distracting from climate issues.

Right, self-described “climate protestors” aren’t necessarily helping the environment.

So you install your own server (apache or nginx or whatever) and also run your own postgresql from the same unmanaged space? And the server software serves both the php app and the database?

Thanks for answering my questions. I’ve always used managed hosting but it’s becoming too limiting and I’m seeking to expand my options.

Do you use unmanaged hosting?

So you’re running kbin.pithyphrase.net from your home pc?

Only a brand would think in terms of favorite brands.

Why would it be an n-turn? The n shape suggests you back up before turning. The capital U asserts that you simply turn. That’s how I’ve always done it.

Whoa, I didnt know that guy was involved with reddit. He’s the anti-spez.

Are Swartz and Ohanian still around? Are they all trying to cash in?

I can understand wanting to get retirement money out of your long-term project, but we’re not obliged to stick around and assist in the degradation of a once-great platform.

Did spez create reddit or did they just hire him?

It depends. If they can still be funny then go for it.

They were hilarious.

Man this defediverse stuff gets tiring

Yeah I had to abandon some of my favorite VSTs when I moved to Linux. I should just get a new PC with windows… But not this year.

I’ll look it up, thanks.

Edit:
Zorin pro actually looks interesting. I wonder if they do the kind of system configurations that musnix and ubuntu studio do.

I am a web dev, does that count? I haven’t done much scripting as part of running an os. What kind of situations in nix require a dev’s touch?

Either way Im looking it up. Sounds interesting.

Edit:
Okay, I see now. NixOS is the OS but this software is a git repo that wouldn’t make much sense to non-devs.

I never heard of gentoo studio. Im looking into it now and it looks like a decent possible alternative.

I want to run a DAW like Reaper, with multiple midi tracks playing through vst instruments. I had no problem doing that on windows 7 with my 4th gen i7 processor and 16GB of RAM, so my 8th gen processor should be able to handle it. But it’s a “power saving” processor that actually benchmarks very close to my old 4th gen, so I do want to keep the OS and desktop environment light.

Edit:
I see gentoo studio isnt listed on distrowatch, but you can get it theough his site.

I think they’re supposed to be lemmies, not rats

I should try that. Skip the hours of grinding. It always felt like cheating, but it would let you really focus on the design.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

This was just a groundbreaking game. I know the graphics aren’t as nice as Skyrim, but the world has more depth and the guilds are all full games in themselves.

Such a big open world, fully populated with flora and mystical fauna (Minotaurs and unicorns), an endless supply of side-quests.

Oblivion destroys Skyrim in the following places:

• Much more interesting and in-depth Thieves Guild, Assassin’s Guild, Fighter’s Guild, and Mage’s Guild.
• Being a vampire is infinitely better than being a goddamn werewolf
• Skyrim leans too heavily for the Nord race, while Oblivion’s story leaves race selection more open-ended. I always want to be an Argonian but it felt weird to be an Argonian in Skyrim.
