I've built a place I find comfortable, took a couple tries. But I have found decent content, found some of my friends from twitter, found replication bots for people I used to follow but not really interact with.
It's not twitter, but it took me 5+ years to build out my twitter. I think over time, enough people will join defederated social media that it can be a pretty good experience if a little too much work for many. But it will take a little time.
Uh, henry ford was a notoriously antisemitic person.
He had an entire paper dedication to publishing antisemitic stuff, he financed a book that was completely full of lies that is still an undertone for existing antisemitic conspiracy theories.
Hitler had a great respect for the stuff he had published and got some good ideas about the Holocaust from ford, even writing him a letter saying he like the way he though with regards to the place and treatment of other races. He really liked America's 'equal but separate' approach to racism. Hitler gave him the highest civilian metal of Germany and he went and accepted it.
And to be fair, afterwards, we all pretended like that didn't happen.
The US didn't join the war because of the racist atrocities, intact there was no appetite until perl harbor. The US joined WWII because they didn't like the attempt at global fascist takeover. If it was just a genocide that didn't spill out of its boarders we would have been happy to turn a blind eye. Just like we have been happy to do with the existing Uyghur genocide happening now in China and the one in Palestine.
Because even for me, a full time systems coder, just figuring out what server to join was a pain, I had to try 3/4 time before I felt like I had enough info to make the correct choice, and then finding other users from my previous twitter gang was a pain, the barrier to entry is much higher than some other options.
For me I've done plenty of shifts where I got paged, slept or didn't sleep and then worked a full day.
But at this point, if I go back to sleep, I won't set an alarm, because I see no value in going to work like a zombie. If I end up at work but can't focus because I was upnall night with he pager, I'll just hit my couple meetings and call it. No point in sitting around pretending to work.
As a note, when you can't find a package, go find the source, you can usually build and install in a couple commands.
Its nice to use the package management of the distro, but most of the time, you could just install the deps and compile and be done with it.
To be fair, every part of it is a small binary that generally does a single thing. You don't have to run them all or even install them but they bring a lot of necessary functionality around base host bootstrapping that everyone used to write in shell for every distro.
I find it nice as an operators of multiple infrastructures to be able to log into a Linux system and have all the hosts bootstrapped in a relatively similar fashion with common tools.
Sysv kinda sucked because everyone had to do it all themselves. Then we got sysv, openrc, upstart and then systems and there was a while there where you never knew what you'd get if you logged into a box. And oh look, I gotta remember 10 different config file locations and syntaxes to assign an IP. Different syntaxes to start a daemon. Do I need to install a supervisor or does that come with the init.
People are doing a lot of really cool stuff with Linux OSs assigning IP addresses in 10 different ways or starting programs was never one of them.
Its also not that systemd has a monopoly, there are other init systems out there, but all the big distros, RH, Debian, ubuntu, arch . . . all came to the same decision that it was the best available init and adopted it. There are other options and any one of those projects is big enough to maintain its own init, but no one really finds the value in dedicating reaources, so they haven't.
Yes, WebDAV will max your local connection. Its generally not the encryption that makes ssh slow but the fact that it is designed to give real time terminal feedback. In order for you to see each letter typed in an ssh session, the buffers are really small and it intentionally sends a tone of small packets. Great for single characters bad for large file transfer.
Its OK here and then when you need to push a config file or something but moving large files is not really what its designed for and consequently, it sucks.
