I wrote a blog article about this a while back with references to what this meme is actually quoting.

Also, the point isn’t whether people want to work or not, but rather that the moral panic keeps coming up.
It’s something that Linux users have been saying for 20 years and it’s outdated. It makes sense when maybe your computer came with less than a GB of RAM, but these days I usually configure a server with a small amount of swap (like a couple of GB), and I set swappiness to something very low like 5.
Gotcha! 🙂 It's from Star Trek: Voyager, season 6, episode 21.
I wouldn't worry. It's not a foregone conclusion that this place is going to suffer and die because the subreddits opened back up.
Color me shocked it wasn’t an all white/male/christian town council.
I'm sure those folks were OK with it, too.
This recipe originated from the Tea Room inside the old L. S. Ayres Department Store here in Indianapolis. This particular batch came from a local soup place just off Monument Circle.
You're talking about Lemmy, right?
I provisioned an Ubuntu 22.02 server at Linode. I chose their 2 GB Shared CPU instance type. Once I configured the server to my liking, I ran through the Lemmy-Ansible instructions. (They have other methods, so check the documentation.)
Essentially, you install Ansible on your workstation. I'm on macOS and installed it via Homebrew. You then download their git repository, create the necessary configuration files, and then have Ansible configure the server. It was fairly simple.
I've joined the Patreon, but I won't be opening an account on the instance since I'll be following your communities from my own. Thanks so much!
Sure.
I run my own instance at a cloud provider, and thus have monthly expenses I wouldn't normally incur, if I were using a public instance.
Following this attack, Linus Torvalds will switch to Windows.
ROFL
Could you please explain? Thanks.
I think it's a matter of personal preference.
I've been running my own Mastodon instance for several months now, and I've enjoyed it. I don't have to rely on someone else, either, which is nice. I'm in control of everything on that instance.
As for Lemmy, I just started my own instance today, and am currently writing you from it. What made me decide to setup my own instance was some performance issues I was seeing with Lemmy.world, although that might have been an UI problem. Anyway, I enjoy doing this stuff, so I'm running my own instance for the sake of doing it.
On the flip side, it's more expensive and time consuming, and I'm the one who has to worry about backing up data, etc. Like I said, though, I enjoy doing it, so it's no big deal.
Off the top of my head, I’m thinking the Destiny trilogy by David Mack. Good luck! There are a lot of great Trek books out there.
