Google results are tailored to the user. This is almost never good advice

I remember this mindset in myself. Today I consider it a waste of time.

If you rely on any tool for this, the tool will make mistakes you cannot accept. If you do it manually, you will make mistakes as well and that also does not work. Also, the information your consider worthy for removal might be key to understanding the problem.

Like, you remove your name, but a certain character in your name is what is actually tripping up the program.

Ultimately, don't post your logs publicly. In the past years, I was always able to email logs to devs. I have no reason not to trust them with my log. If they want data from me, they could easily exfiltrate it through their actual application.

They did not. This is another marketing play

Is this going to be the same kind of non-profit as OpenAI? With a mission to improve the world? Yeah, let's see how that goes. Another Proton marketing play on their set track to enshittification.

If you are already familiar with one package manager, pick a distro that also uses that package manager.

When deciding on the release track, the harder it is to recover the system, the more stable the track should be. Stable does not imply secure.

As you move up through virtualization layers, the less stable the track needs to be, allowing access to more recent features.

Steer clear of distros that pride themselves on using musl. It's historically slow and incomplete. Don't buy into the marketing.

Think about IaC. Remote management is a lot more comfortable if you can consider your server ephemeral. You'll appreciate the work on the day you need to upgrade to a new major release of the distro.

If you want to get into the scene, hopefully, you made this post from a clean account that can never trace back to you. Otherwise this shit will break your back at some point.

The people you want to be in contact with, don't want to be in contact with you. People who want to be in contact with you, are cops or stupid people.

If you need to ask, then you shouldn't know. People who offer help are likely to deceive you.

There is still value in watching https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scene_(miniseries)

That being said, that material was highly likely already captured by existing professionals and nobody will care. Don't risk anything for a bit of thrill. Actually releasing pirated material and actively breaking copyright law is no joke. You might think it's good fun, but there are people who try to fuck you up as their full-time job. Pirates are often mentally ill or are motivated financially. There is no Robin Hood you could help for a greater good.

What did they research? The git and GitHub documentation, and then the manual on clickbaiting? The shit people publish as research these days to boost their profile...

Before Google Drive and Syncthing I relied on such a USB device. Today, no matter what I put on the stick, it's outdated or entirely not what I need when I need something.

Having any stick on hand, and being able to flash an image from your phone, that's nice

Are you aware of Nvidia recently releasing different versions of their kernel modules? There's an open-source and a proprietary flavor. Make sure you have the right one selected for your hardware and fallback to nuvoueau if need be.

Bro, I'm an AWS Cloud Solution Architect and I seriously don't know what you're talking about. And, no, when I waste time on Lemmy, then there is literally nothing better to do.

AWS made S3. People built software to integrate S3 as a storage backend. Other people didn't want to do AWS, and built single-node imitations of the S3 service. Now you use those services and think that is S3, while it is only a crude replica of what S3 really is. At this point the S3 API is redundant and you could just as well store your assets close to your application. You have no real, global S3 delivery service anyway. What's the point?

Most people misuse AWS S3. Using stuff like minio is even more misguided.
