  • I just wanted to add that you can run gui applications through ssh with x11 forwarding, options -X or -Y (untrusted/trusted but at least in Debian back in the day they behaved the same). So if you wanted a gui file manager you run it in the ssh session on the remote server, sudo if you need but NEVER logged as root, and the window will pop on your local DE instead of having to run an entire desktop on each server



  • Many of us don’t celebrate Jeez’s birthday, we just get together, eat, drink, sing… if we couldn’t enjoy the little things in life because some horrible war is going on in some part of the globe thousands of miles away there wouldn’t be any merriment EVER.
    I’m also a bit confused by your choice of words, who are you talking about when you say ‘his people’? His homeland (Judea, under Roman occupation at the time, and arguably occupied by others ever since), is occupied by whom right now?


  • For me the difference between a cli and a gui is like asking someone to do something speaking in a language they can understand and doing it just by pointing at things and doing gestures. It’s enough for ordering at a restaurant, but for more complex tasks it gets ridiculous, even at a restaurant you’ll get better results if you can ask for some information and understand what the server says







  • Everyone’s hair is different so you’ll have to find what works for yours, but there’s three things you have to do: washing, conditioning and untangling, how often and in what order you’ll got to figure out.

    My hair’s curly and dry so for me is washing, conditioning and untangle with lots of conditioner applied. If you have straight and more greasy hair maybe you’ll condition first, with more conservative quantities favoring the tips/avoiding the scalp, and wash after, untangling with a daily dry brushing.

    Hair ties are ok, just don’t go for too long with a very tight pony tail or bun. I keep my hair tied most of the time and my hair line is not the same as when I was 20 but I would say that is better than most of my short-haired peers (maybe improved uv protection).

    And then you have styling products, there’s a whole world of them. I use leave in conditioner and/or gel, or nothing, or whatever shit I just got to try and see if my hair likes it (spoiler: the fucker usually doesn’t, and they’re not cheap). I would say in general foams and mouses give a dryer look while oily/waxy products give a more wet finish.


  • I agree to a certain point, I have Linux on all my computers because of the freedom. But I have an iPhone, the only apple thing I own, and one of the main reasons is the AppStore and how restrictive it is.

    I would say that for the average end user being able to install software from anywhere is a liability and causes a lot more issues than it solves, I’ve seen lots of computers running like trash because the users kept just typing ‘download \ free’ on google and going along with any random shady site that popped. Apple cater more to these average users than to power users, and honestly the google play store is a dumpster fire. A walled garden doesn’t sound that bad when it’s the wastelands outside




  • Right? And also two things:

    First, android is FOSS the same as Darwin (the system under iOS) is. Apple puts its proprietary drivers, ui, and other apps the same as android phone vendors do.

    An second, Free Software/Open Source doesn’t mean that you have to ship the phone with all the code anyone pushes. You have control of your repository. You can pay developers and only include the software the build. FOSS means that the user of the software has access to the source code, as well as other rights like modifying or redistributing it.

    I see in a lot of discussion about free software some people say things like ‘the code is open to everyone so you don’t know what they can put there’ as if there were no filter or anything
