If you can point to any part of the analogy that’s valuable, I’m happy to go along. But this post is like breaking into someone’s home and shitting on their table. There, I can analogy too.

Except you’re not really given the soup. It’s just there for your taking, with a sign “contains piss”.

I’m just permanently surprised by the entitlement of people smh

How much free stuff did you create in your life, piss or not?

Except you’re not exactly homeless, are you?

So scary 🤣

For years I have been afraid of quicksand, alligators, and piranhas.

I live in central Europe.

Yearly recurring protests and riots on may 1st.

So much so that we now have riot-tourists that only come to experience “throwing a stone at a bank” or “getting arrested for lighting a garbage bin on fire”

Hu, the"Stolperstein" art/remembrance project is very well known in Germany, but somehow I hadn’t expected it to spread outside our borders as well.

I’m making sure that the one close to my home is always clean and well polished!

I mean, if AI gets too expensive, companies can always hire juniors to replace them 🤣

Or maybe they’ve really been looking for the van with antimatter for the last fourteen years.

Some desperate delivery person crying in relief when they finally find the delivery entrance, and the scientists: “well, now we can actually start this whole operation”

How would anyone place a 100% community driven distribution like Debian in such a cage? There’s no monetary leverage, the community is truly international, so local laws don’t apply …
Please note that it’s also one of the most prolific distributions, and the foundation p.e. for *buntu.

If you’re living in an oppressive jurisdiction, your employer might obviously not allow you to use a truly free operating system, but that’s hardly Linux’s fault.

So if your favorite distribution is starting bullshit, just switch to the next one, there are literally thousands of them. That’s why “Year of the Linux desktop” is confusing: it’s “year of steamOs” or “year of *buntu”, probably even “year of Debian”, but most certainly never “year of the nixos desktop”.

You have choice. Use it.

I’m not your buddy, pal!

While I’m not overly educated in the history of denazification in East Germany, I know that at least later, it was more of a proclamation than something actually happening. That’s why so many neo-nazis “suddenly appeared” in the supposedly nazi-free zone after the unification of the germanies.

Supported by the fascists in the west that had never gone away, the unified right made quick progress in their organization.

While I’m more of a KDE person myself, it’s always nice to see a popular FLOSS desktop going strong - kudos to the gnome team!

Here’s a written version in case you don’t feel like watching a video: https://release.gnome.org//50/

This seems like a Good Thing™ (obviously with the caveat that it all depends on the implementation and their VPN partner).

I have the association of praying hands 🙏

Maybe they’re impersonating a character from their favorite kung-fu movie?

I’m not that long here, but if it’s not feasible to automatically detect the slopper-sites, maybe a rule could be introduced that people can report on?

This way the mod has an easier time identifying the things that are unwanted by the community.

I love grafana, but it’s a resource hog, and my machine isn’t powerful. Prometheus/node_exporter however is as lightweight as it can get.

So I made a little Python script that fetches the data from Prometheus and uses mathplotlib to generate a graph.

The dashboard calls that python script for every configured graph and embeds the image so it looks nice.

You can find the script in one of my other repos (Prometheus-renderer probably), but there are dozen similar ones: search github for Prometheus renderer and you’ll see

If there are other things unclear, please don’t hesitate to ask

Go for it 👍

Wow, I can really see this taking off in the international dashboading-scene!
