Schools have budgets decided by board members who are elected by the taxpayers; and taxpayers don’t like tax hikes! Thus we have the orphan crushing machine.

What a beautiful boy 😻

Keeping you two in my thoughts ♥️

Thank you for this info!

This is currently me and my dad who’s been a Linux sysadmin for over 20 years.

My website/blog is in the cloud but anything that needs local storage or internet access (everything else) is virtualized in a container on proxmox.

This happens to me on Instagram and it makes me want to commit atrocities.

I got boxes full of Pepe!!

Thank you! His sister is named Carol (from HR) so it was kind of perfect

Same. I'm using a 2012 Mac mini running Proxmox attached to an OWC Thunderbay 4. It's old but does everything I need it to do.

I use Arch for my desktop and a container or two just for funsies. My website runs on Arch actually and never had had any issues with either that or my desktop. Debian is what I typically use though for my containers like Plex, photoprism, etc. I've heard people say Debian can be harder than Arch. I'm still mostly a noob so idk fit certain but I've come across things where Debian didn't work but Arch did. Thought it was interesting.

I was in art school when Tumblr was at its peak. Looking back it was dumb, just resharing pictures and gifs but I had so much fun. I met so many people through Tumblr that I'm still in contact with.

Same. I've been diving into Linux and open source and self hosting lately anyway, and at the same time you're telling me open source social media is a real thing and gaining in popularity? Count me in.
