They need to stop bloating the web, so that browser development stops taking billion dollar budgets.

I used proxmox and have played a little with nix and guix, but simplest is just use debian, put /home on a separate logical partition from the system partition so you can reinstall the system without clobbering user files, and as people keep saying, backup early and often.

Simplest is use /etc/hosts to set up names, if there are just a few.

No a lot less, twilio is $1/mo, see also VoIP.ms and vitelity.net

I don't think it's possible to make C++ safe without strictly limiting the user program to a subset of the language. There are guidelines for that (https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines) but even when I try to code in that style, I get to debug crashes the usual way. C++ makes some optimizations possible through e.g. move semantics that are absent from Rust and Ada but I wonder if it really matters these days. Rust seems to be displacing C++ for lots of new projects going forward.

Wait you mean you don't cook the oats? Oats (the old fashioned 30 minute kind) cook nicely for me in 4 minutes in an instant pot, but no cooking sounds even better.

As I understand it, the interest income is tax deferred while it is still in the IRA. So over a long period it can appreciate a lot more than if taxes were being taken out every year.

How well do you think the federation model is working, in terms of cultural dynamics, more defederations than I would have expected to see, etc.? I'm not counting technical glitches that I assume will get sorted out over time.

Aha, thanks, not sure how I managed to miss it before. Hmm.

I do, see https://www.covidisairborne.org/ for tons of info on why we all should.

This seems like unnecessary fragmentation. Reddit became huge because it gave people interested in a topic a one-stop place to discuss their topic. Putting the interested people together gave a network effect that attracted even more participants.

Creating new discussion venues (subreddits, usenet groups) is generally only worthwhile if an existing venue gets too crowded or cluttered to discuss a niche topic, or the niche topic becomes big enough that the existing venue is happier if the niche splits off. Example: there is a general programming forum, Rust gets invented and people talk about it there, then Rust becomes a big enough topic that a Rust forum is warranted.

I'm a not-even-newbie to Rust but I'd be happier if the lemmy.ml and lemmyrs.org Rust forums somehow got merged. Because of federation, I'm basically indifferent to which Lemmy instance actually hosts it.
