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.
My namesake is a human librarian that was turned into an orangutan. All he says is “Ook” and can traverse the library stacks with great ease. He is happy.
I have a pretty strange knowledge set. I’m not super friendly, but I like to get high and link people to stuff. Just pretend I said only “ook”

But which consumes more energy? Like really. I’m betting AI does, but some tasks might be close.

Like they would open source Zed instead of locking it up in a museum and claiming their version is the best.
Honestly, just because one is nonsense, it wouldn’t mean it’s fake. I’ve read help forums.
Whichever one is fake could be real tomorrow.
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.
man
is self-paging and searchable. It uses some old-school emacs bindings like Ctrl + V from before PgDn was a standard key. So I’m not claiming it’s intuitive.
If cmd --help
spews a bunch of info to the screen, you basically have to handle it with grep
or less
or go modern.
Ctrl + R, what a wonderful phrase.
I disagree that there are much better ways. When I have a question while I’m working in the terminal, it’s nice to have a searchable manual that’s in the terminal.
But I can certainly understand why modern manpages aren’t well-developed. That info is already somewhere else. And it’s good enough. It’s not like I’m paying people to write manpages.
“help is an invalid command. Use --help for help.”
I always feel like an idiot when a read an error message like that.
It’s certainly not a hot take. Every “which distro should I try thread” is just a discussion of the different DEs out there. I would like to hear about different package managers. I always seem happiest with apt, and I don’t know why.
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?
German Ks make so much damn sense. Why do I keep screwing them up?
In this case, it was that “cartographer” is a cognate.
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.
I have a Brother laser printer. (I love it, but that’s not important here.)
The firmware doesn’t support duplexing A5 paper. I’m wondering if this is a good place to dip my toe into the world of open source driver development.
I live in the second one. On purpose. I’ll never wear my debian tshirt.
