You’re a good man.

I guess a “troubled person” would just thoughtlessly kill a bunch of kids he spent quite some time with on a whim.

Never hold your breath when your superior tells you that they’d promote you.

I’ve had a boss who was telling me from the start that he had plans for me. Three years passed by, no promotion, no raise, nothing.

Then I moved to a new job. My boss never promised me anything. I never got my rank promoted (yet) but I’ve had more raise than I could ever ask for.

So…

What’s your spaghetti policy here?

Typical first world citizen.

Since I’d be cremated, probably some coral reef

Would you care to tell me more about all these private trackers?

Everyone: let’s standardize all the plugs so that we don’t keep hoarding cables!

Apple: heh, plebs…

I used something like that back when I had scheduled medication. It’s really convenient, especially if you have to be outside when you’re taking the med. Tho sitting unused most of the time now, I still have mine, made of brass with brushed finish, smells metalic but looks dope.

Goddamn ancient fish!

Wow, a blast from the past!

Being born, I guess…

Probably ask her why, then stop talking to her.

Lemme guess, they’re gonna launch a private Mastodon server.

Honestly, that already says a lot…

There’s nothing stoping you from gutting your distro and installing new kernel, libc, package manager, toolchain, and all the other components. The GUI should be trivial as people have change back and forth among different ones (within the same distro) anyway, assuming your package manager.

Of course, this begs the question: why the fuck would you do that instead of just installing a new one fresh?

Mint: consistency, versatility, having all the Ubuntu’s benefits (being industry standard, somewhat) without the drawbacks (Canonical’s opinionated bullshit like snap)

Debian: stability, predictability, leanness

Gentoo: customizability down to compile-time level

Of course they are!

501 - Headrush

Purity Ring - Stardew

That narrows it down a lot. To be honest, I’m not familiar with that. However, with that specific of a topic, it shouldn’t be that hard to look up for articles to follow and come up with a course of action.

The reason why OSes aren’t ‘hardened’ by default is because it would be a real pain for users trying to set things up or use it for daily operation. If you take it to an extreme, they wouldn’t be able to access anything they want. If you’re a sysadmin, you’d be faced with your whole office pissed off because they wouldn’t be able to do their work.

Last but not least, what does ‘hardened’ mean anyway? You can have something as ‘hardened’ as an airgapped workstation in a faraday cage with an off-grid power supply. Are you running away from a government agency? I wouldn’t think so. So a firewall blocking unused ports and mindful practice should suffice.
