Gentoo, after a 15 year break where I used Ubuntu / Arch. Might try NixOS or something similar.

KDE for desktop env.

Played 4 first, if you do that you really notice the retrocons etc. I figure in order probably works best.

Thanks. I didn’t know, it is also on my list.

That part was understood. I don’t think I could complete 1 game in that period of time.

Microsoft invests a lot of time and effort in (selective) backwards compatibility. It’s one of the draws to the OS. In past leaks of code we have seen it’s code base is littered with special cases. I can’t find the link but here have this almost good enough reddit link: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/lpdn0x/microsoft_really_understands_backward/

Burn read only backups.

Not sure 12 hours is enough time for me to grab much. Perhaps my backlog.

I’m contemplating trying to run the meta bridge locally to get around that issue, it has to do with their server running in I think Finland?

At some point they said that after beta it would be $9 a month. But that messaging seems to have disappeared.

I feel like I have been doing this all my life. I think it’s more to do with the depth of understanding too. But the environment has to support it, if there is an expectation that everyone is an expert from day one, and there is no room for self improvement then it can’t be done.

As stated there are down falls with the approach such as lack of exposure to new ideas. You still need to look just not study. But to me it’s also a work/life balance policy. But don’t practice it in extreme as it can hold you back. Good work places should allow for some learning time and I’m hoping that gets normalized.

The busybox one seems great as it comes with shells. php looks like it would add some issues.

Personally since I use go, I would create a go embedded app, which I would make a deb, rpm, and a dockerfile using “goreleaser”

package main

import (
	"embed"
	"net/http"
)

//go:embed static/*
var content embed.FS

func main() {
	http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		// Serve index.html as the default page
		http.ServeContent(w, r, "index.html", nil, content)
	})

	// Serve static files
	http.Handle("/static/", http.StripPrefix("/static/", http.FileServer(http.FS(content))))

	// Start the server
	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}

Would be all the code but allows for expansion later. However the image goreleaser builds doesn’t come with busybox on it so you can’t docker exec into it. https://goreleaser.com/customization/docker/

Most of the other options including the PHP one seem to include a scripting language or a bunch of other system tools etc. I think that’s overkill

Anyone else here concerned about what this means for the health of the ecosystem? If reddit was never sustainable and we are well and truly past a phase of consolidation there is potentially a lot of history / info to loose here. The damage has been done already by the funding model. While the return to federation and private hosting is nice, there is a potential “dark” age.

Limited time to build something so you have to pick based on a couple factors, often largest % of users.

Definitely related to the fall of usenet. The fact that it’s ungoverned and standard, but the immediately obvious fix is not a situation people want either.

Tried beeper?
