Is this seriously your takeaway from a well-thought out post? This the smugness of reddit that I really don’t miss.

edit: I am refering to the root comment, as that isn’t clear.

How else would you know it was doing anything?

He did call it the highlight of his day.

I said “read the meme” because that is all I was addressing. The title is just engagement-bait as far as I’m concerned. It’s either a meme or question. I’m sure others are here for the question but not the meme. And therefore, I’m being engagement-baited. Who knows, but I was clear about what I was talking about.

I just think saying “you’re completely missing the point” to a comment that is perfectly on topic is completely uncalled for.

I reason I think git is dead-simple to “self-host” is because I do it. I’m not a computer guy. I just used svn to version control some papers with fellow grad students. (it didn’t last, i was the only one that liked it.) so now i use git for some notes i archive. I’m not saying there aren’t tools to considerably upgrade the easy-of-use factor that would require some tech skills I don’t possess, but I stand by point.

This is fun. I’m listening to two Telsa owners bicker about the precise reason that I shouldn’t buy a Telsa.

Do you honestly think they’re “completely missing the point”? Read the meme. There’s no mention of gitea. Self-hosting git is nothing to wiggle your tie over. Maybe setting up the things you are talking about are, but git?

The acceptable signal to replace the razor is when the pain from the dull blade pulling your hairs makes your eye watery

Sounds like a blade a day to me.

German Ks make so much damn sense. Why do I keep screwing them up?

In this case, it was that “cartographer” is a cognate.

Yo! It’s Run DMHolySee and A Tribe Called Quirinal!

Goddammit. Quit leaving the croutons off my salad. I want to see some floating blue specks in there.

I’ve been a linux user since 2006. But I’m not a computer guy, it was just my OS really. I haven’t done serious computer work it what feels like decades. Two days on Lemmy and I’m thinking selfhosting a smarthome could be for me. Things are so wonderful now.

PS: Auch mag ich Kühe. Sie sehen wie Landcarten aus.

Ok, that’s about the most complex sentence I can make. I wish I stuck with learning German.

Day 1: “What is this place?”

Day 3: “Do you have a moment to hear the wonders of Fdroid?”

Was an unextreme solution mentioned? I don’t see one. It seems very reasonable.

What would more extreme, but not inappropriate, is for Valve to send a cease and desist to stop Canonical from using the Steam logo on a package Valve does not maintain. I don’t think that’s warranted. But calling a little text clarification “extreme” is nonsense.

But Canonical using that logo is pretty misleading. I notice the thumbnail adds some Canonical-flare to the logo, but it’s not there on snapcraft.

This lighter has a stem to keep the flame from your thumb, but it isn’t obnoxiously long.

I’ll note the Bic brand is not refillable. Look for a little port on the bottom. I’ve seen some at Ace hardware.

Haha, I didn’t realize they were asking how loud it was. I thought they expected you type out the noises. I feel like Kel.

No brainer. Take the money. Global warming exists. WWIII might be happening. What’s the point in being a depressed 6 year-old?

Yeah folks. Elon got a bargain at 120%. A lesser business acumen would have paid upwards of $900B maybe even $1T. But not Elon. He went to court, and the judge said that it was such a good deal that it was illegal not to take it. True story.

I hope you had their permission before putting their password out there where anyone could read it.

why not learn how to protect them properly from bad actors?

Exactly. One way to start is asking for help on forum with people who like to talk about this kind of thing. Hope OP finds their way.

awk will always have a soft spot for me, but I can see why not many take the time to learn it. It tends to be needed right there at the border of problem complexity where you are probably better using a full-fledged scripting tool.

But learning awk is great for that “now you’re thinking in pipes” ah-hah moment.
