I work in logistics. I’ve always had a fascination with tech, and was leery of all these neato things on offer from big tech, from social media to the cloud.

Found out I could self-host, and got to learning.

I hate listening to my younger brother talk about technology. He is just a sheep in an apple pen, and perfectly happy. I don’t get it.

Lol they denied my application. Nice.

Edit: it was my own carelessness. Damn.

Having trouble verifying my email. Gonna see if it works without VPN.

Now you’ve really piqued my interest. This may be the winner.

That’s my next stop after this contract runs out.

Yeah, it was ready for my old AMD machine. My new Nvidia box…nah.

But since I’ve switched to XFCE, I don’t need to worry so much about new-fangled things like Wayland…for now.

I appreciate that.

World seems to be blocking NordVPN. Recommend another instance?

World and NordVPN. Recommend another instance?

I just found out that Lemmy is not allowing (or has rate-limited, or whatever) VPN connections to post or react.

Not a fan of that at all.

Edit: it’s my instance being on Cloudflare, not Lemmy as a whole. My mistake.

Good. Internet people are awful at political discussions.

The lack of nuance here has been a little shocking. I had hope that was just a Reddit thing, but it may just be an Internet thing. I have no idea.

I’m not ever going to vote for Trump, because he’s terrible. And I’m not ever going to vote for Biden, because he may be less terrible, but he’s still terrible.

I may one day vote Dem or Rep again, if either of those parties ever pulls their heads from their asses and produces a quality candidate.

Until then, I’m voting third party. If you can’t produce quality, I’ll find it elsewhere.

It gets a third or fourth party government funding. That’s more important than anything to me currently. We need more choices.

That’s your narrative, sure. I won’t support a two-party system that produces such TERRIBLE candidates anymore.

The one and only objectively best answer, imo.

Welp, good thing I’m voting third party again. Giant Douche vs. Turd Sandwich doesn’t need my help.

Oh no, it was everywhere, and I got into some decent arguments with those lovely people who ask you to show them how it’s going to have any effect on the fediverse at all, complete with citations.

WeLl hOw Do YoU KnOw?

Who needs therapy when you have pacman?

So anyways, I run Arch on my main gaming computer, and Debian on my servers and laptops.
