This might actually be a decent idea, especially with scammers using AI-assisted voice changes.

And so it was confirmed. @wewbull@feddit.uk was no real person, and neither was I. Trapped eternally as fragments of @glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz' imagination.

I'm not entirely sure how "... don't need anything near as memory efficient as Alpine" became "Debian is obviously superior to Alpine".

.... I was referencing systemd and familiarity of use in regard to OP. Debian just happened to be mentioned, it comes per default with systemd, and it's my personal first choice for servers. Though, taking context into account, OP did say they originally came from Ubuntu and made it sound like they were trying to optimize their system since it "only" had 4(8)GB memory in total.

I do believe Debian with systemd is more similar to Ubuntu than Alpine is to Ubuntu. My point was not so much about Debian vs Alpine in general as it was specific to efficiency in regard to memory usage, with the sole reason to change to Alpine over Debian (or any OS which uses systemd, really) purely for memory savings being rather weak when systemd only uses some <50MB in memory, the computer has 4GB+ of it, and the user already is familiar with Debian-based flavors which use systemd.

So no, Debian is obviously not "obviously superior to Alpine", just as systemd isn't too heavy to run on computers with 4GB of RAM - unless you're trying to push the computer to its limits.

Huh? I don't think you need anything near as memory efficient as Alpine for something which has 4GB of RAM, unless you're doing it for the sole purpose of pushing the machine and yourself to the limit.

I only ever consider dropping Debian and/or Systemd when going below 512MB RAM. I've run most of my public-facing homelab stuff on a 1GB VPS till recently, including multiple webservers such as FoundryVTT, and Docker containers such as a Wireguard server, Jenkins, Searxng, etc.. It rarely used more than ~60% of the RAM, but I obviously couldn't run Immich or any heavy services on it.

It's good that you feel that way. I'd wish that was the case for the local bicyclers too.

Cars are obviously expected to slow down and keep behind the biker till able to pass (that's the law, though drivers often attempt too close passes anyway), that said, when walking on narrow pathways in the woods, cyclists will often come cycling way too fast and ring - without slowing down any significant amount - and apparently expecting me to jump to the side to not be hit.

I've had multiple close-hits, and they'll start screaming and be abusive if you don't give way (you know, since they're faster than you, and it's inconvenient for them to slow down just because of you). And no, the forest road is not a mountain biking path. Contrary, the paths are usually footpaths that are destroyed by the bicycles plowing up the loose dirt - the good side being, that the small roads often change and stay exciting.

There are a lot of good bicyclers out there, but I generally feel that the (locally) worst cyclers are the sporty ones and those who freely disregard the law. It's almost like "I'm not in a car but still faster than the walking plebians, so I can do whatever I like without real consequences".

I very much wish for proper, separated, biking paths, though that's mostly for my own comfort as it won't keep me from running into the two types of bicyclers described above. :(

Edit: Sorry, this got wayy too long. Good night. x)

... appears to be just as bad, and they often don't even keep to biking roads (eg. biking through "no-biking" pedestrian streets and getting angry at the pedestrians being all over the place, or biking over the pedestrian crossings, etc.).

But your first statement rings true.

The Krafton leadership blessed the execs projects, which meant they were totally aware well in advance.

Then you make a "no politics" rule, after which the very respectable debaters show up to tell everyone that everything ultimately is political, and therefore their ragebaiting, trolling, cancel culture, and general toxicity is totally acceptable! Unless you want an entry in the powerhungrybastards community, ofc.

Anyway, I've generally had a positive experience on the fediverse (compared to Reddit, etc.). That said, I've blocked and avoid most, if not all, right wing extremists, though I'm having a harder time with the left extremists since we seem to have a lot of interests in common. ^,^'

Well, almost (49/51%).

Needless to say, the steam deck has definitely found its place playing Monster Hunter, Graveyard Keeper, and sometimes even Guild Wars 2 and factorio.

It does run Deep Rock Galactic and Vermintide 2 too, but I feel those are better played on the rig.
