restic to a local server and to cloud storage. it varies by device, but usually just everything in /home/. The rest of the operating system should be reproducible, whether through images, ansible, nix, or guix, given the information in /home/.

scheduling is done through systemd, usually (or the non-systemd equivalent). I use BackBlaze now, but I switch around occasionally. restic has policy based snapshot removal, and a prune option.

It doesn't seem like there's any enforcement method, just "social influence".

In other words, they made a scoreboard.

You could try using Hashicorp's Packer to generate images repeatably (usually more meant for cloud images though). Or NixOS (like others have mention), or Guix (like NixOS, but better in some ways, worse in others). You could make it an Ansible playbook, which would let you both make configured images, and just configure machines that already have an OS.

I do something similar with archiso, fwiw, but that only works with Arch Linux.

Would you want to change your distribution, or just keep Debian with some tools to automate?

Make a plugin to a non-vim editor that properly emulates the vim experience, with the non-vim GUI.

Or, if that doesn't work well enough, fork them.

Failing that, you could just accept your fate. I love my neovim install.

It's a bit of a false dichotomy, there's a broad spectrum in both.

A lot of the benefit of religion doesn't come from the beliefs itself, but the community around them. You could just have a community built around other things, or even a religion that doesn't mandate theism (UU's and Quakers come to mind, they have fairly large atheist populations. There's also less "serious" religions, like TST).

It's not really something we can do, sadly. Reddit closing it's API was more about getting money than actually stopping it's use as a training set.

Having an allow-list is a start though, as it means that a company can't just make an instance and suck all the data out through that. Common corporate crawlers could be added to the robots.txt, but that would mean that you might not be able to find lemmy instances in search results. We could make it against ToS, but what are we going to do, sue the massive corporation? They have plenty of lawyer and payout money, so very little would fundamentally change.

Ultimately, if content can be served to us, it can be served to them.

No, SDF doesn't have any particular bad rap, most of you are nice. There's a reason there hasn't been any serious discussion of defedding Hexbear from SDF.

But all the same, not being from Hexbear or Lemmygrad (and to a lesser extent lemmy.ml) means that foreign policy takes I don't agree with are more common. Especially since there's often people that will have leftist beliefs about domestic politics, but have different feelings about foreign policy. Not to say that Hexbears can't have bad takes, but but it's fewer, farther between, and they often end up with the comment removed or are banned quickly.

Perhaps my wording was a bit misleading, though.

If they were from a different instance, I'd probably think they were being serious.

Exciting! Sort of interestingly, I never dual booted or anything, I just jumped straight to Linux.

Honestly, it's really not that bad. Linux has come a long way since I started out, and while I usually make it harder for myself than it needs to be, I've seen young middle schoolers installing and using Linux, I've seen retired professional musicians with no technical background install and use Linux. Especially with all these new fancy atomic desktops, like Silverblue, Bazzite, and Kinoite. Admittedly, I have managed to break a Kinoite installation (doing stuff I probably shouldn't have been doing), but fixing it felt magical. Just roll back to when it wasn't borked, then update it.

I did a lot of not so nice things to that installation (it was a bit of a test, to see how fragile it was), and it's still running now!
