Thirded. I set Mint as the default boot, then have a copy of windows available as an alternative OS option when required.
Hell of a way to bury the announcement.
When Broadcom announced the purchase a year or so ago, I abandoned all further VMWare certs, and put the time into getting my head around the alternatives.
I still have to use VMWare for 90% of my job, but I'm absolutely treating it like a locked-in platform, and assuming that anything I learn to do in VMWare, I need to understand the underlying concepts, not just their interpretation, and how I can do similar things on other platforms.
I've been really pleased with the feddit.uk community so far. It probably helps that a lot of us are geographically similar.
Simple solution:
- Send the elephants to the uk
- Sunak pays to have them sent on to Rwanda.
Botswana has fewer elephants.
Sunak can claim to have deported 20000 imaphants.
Rwanda gets a truckload of money from the UK.
Kagi has been doing a decent job for me, with the downside that it's paid, and does use results from other places.
They go into detail about how they work, but it's them paying for results from lots of engines, plus their own engine, then heavy duty filtering of the results.
Plus a ML results summarizer you can press after searching.
You actually raise a good point: People may not join a smaller instance if you're not confident it's going to hang around.
I might see if I can publish a contingency/continuity plan in our next community update.
This is precisely it.
One other point is, some instance want to focus on certain things, and take the risks, where others don't.
Our community feddit.uk doesn't do nsfw, because it's not worth the headache for what our main focus is.
The guy running lemmynsfw on the other hand, is enthusiastically embracing the challenges involved, and more power to him!
And in the end, it works. We handle Mr. Brains Pork Balls, they can handle...other balls.
It's a trade off for us.
You risk CSAM, and have to shoulder the storage costs.
But you also help to reduce link rot, as the images are kept on the site, rather than an external image host that might explode/go VC one day.
I'm still convinced that Internet Historian wrote it.
If I hear code yellow, I assume I need to grab a mop and bucket.
