This is wicked!!!

Nice!! Thanks for posting looks awesome!! Did you make this??

Looks fun

Another small business... trying to scrape by. 😆

This.

I work in the web-hosting industry, and there are a handful of common and popular proprietary software used that used to require CentOS / RHEL as the base OS. Then most of them now support AlmaLinux, which I've got on a handful of servers as a requirement. Haven't really used Rocky Linux, but have used AlmaLinux a lot now, and I run CloudLinuxOS which is/was RHEL based but it's a commercial Linux OS geared towards this industry.

Anyway, FINALLY some of these companies are producing statements that they're releasing Debian/Ubuntu betas or have it on their roadmap for making their software work on these OSes. Which is great.

There are so many quality alternatives now that this decision will only lower their market share. They are trying hard to be the new Microsoft.

Amazon? Never heard of them! /s

Windows by itself is already spyware. Might as well have some more ;)

It was inspired by the amazing mining algorithm that was developed for Monero.

Monero is true digital cash, anonymous and untraceable by default. Get your hands on some today @ http://lm.i2p

Official wallet available @ http://get-monero.i2p/

Monero is king of digital cash.

The state's monopoly on identification is a crime against humanity.

Time to leave that place.

LocalBitcoins is dead and replaced by http://agoradesk.i2p/

This is the best wallet. Every serious coin should have a wallet like this.

Threads got a jump start on it's userbase by making it incredibly simple for current Instagram (and maybe Facebook?) users from signing up to the platform. They already have your data, so you don't need to 'create an account'. It's more of an opt-in, from what I understand. So with that in mind, it's incredibly hassle-free to join which likely is the reason for such high numbers, if they are to be believed to begin with.

It's unlikely to be a Twitter killer in my opinion, but time will tell.

What I find the most interesting when reading comments on the web on places like reddit is the amount of people who dislike Musk so much that they'll support Zuckerberg blindly. Say what you want about Musk but he has at least been part of advancing the automobile, space and telecom industries. Zuck probably still thinks people are "dumb fucks" for trusting him with their data.

Nice, will have to check it out. I'll admit, there are some times where I don't feel like digging through ancient StackOverflow entries or random KB articles and documentation. ChatGPT has come in real handy and has likely saved me a lot of time.

As much as I'm uncertain about AI's role in the future, for now, it's helped me out of a bind or two.

i'm here rambling from the i2p network!! lol on my end ramble seems to work really well for me!

Care to recommend a 60% keyboard? Bonus if it comes with a travel case!

It'll only be for mobile use with the laptop, as my workstation and daily driver needs a num-pad for me to keep my sanity since I crunch some numbers from time to time. But I'd still like a 60% option for increased portability and ability to pack one in a bag with my laptop.

Mechanical keyboard for me nothing fancy or expensive.

100%

Mainstream media pushes incessant "darknet" propaganda to paint networks presenting "challenge to monitor users" in bad light (even if intent is innocent).

I see security perks of i2p as another nice aspect that can help gain the right public recognition.

I'm a big fan of 60% keyboards. Who needs arrow keys? Not when you have tcsh compiled with the build time option for vi key movement! Though, the ones use do offer the option of arrow keys with an FN key. Sometimes you need them.

This is where things like I2P are key. You can't really hide that you are running I2P either, but you can hide what you are doing on the internet. Unlike Signal, Telegram and such. Since your router routes other people's traffic as well.

Absurd.

And like, I get it to a degree. Sure, there are some shitty people online. And sure, some hide behind anonymity.

And there are also people who just don't want giant corporations harvesting data about them or who wish to keep their government out of their daily life, even when doing nothing at all wrong. And for them, there are people that all fall in between or wish to have privacy for various other reasons.

It's bizarre to me that wanting privacy can even ever be considered controversial. No one thinks that because you put up a privacy fence on your property that you're now running a automobile chop-shop or operating a meth lab in the back yard, now that the neighbors and passersby can't see in. Not sure why people assume the worse when people want digital privacy, as well. No one would demand all houses remove privacy fences so everyone can see their yards, which I think can be sort of an apt comparison to digital privacy.

I just use these cheap Amazon mechanical keyboards, and am happy with them. They're a great upgrade to what I had before, and without breaking the bank.

I'm sort of looking for a 60% mechanical keyboard now for part of a 'mobile office' setup, as I absolutely hate typing on a laptop. Any recommendations?

speaking of which, 2 weeks before election, Macron actually campaigned against anonymity online: “In a democratic society, there should be no anonymity. You can’t walk around in the street wearing a hood. On the Internet, people allow themselves, because they are hooded behind a pseudonym, to say the worst abjections”
