Shared from Toronto, unsure of source, still funny.

How do you scream “We’re bleeding money” without saying it? Invent new ways to fleece your existing user base.

Tack this on to their new price tier plans and get a better picture of their current problems.

Understood. Only thing I could think of is that interpreted my make menu_config line as referencing linux from scratch.

Fun fact: In the 90s, everyone had to compile a kernel using menu_config or menuconfig configurator. It didn’t matter if you ran red hat or slackware or debian, they all had you configure your kernel on some form back then.

We would often download the latest kernel overnight from a bbs or mirror site beforehand days before installing because you often needed the latest kernel to get your hardware working.

Anyway, no worries. I was just confused by your response.

I didn’t even mention a single distro and I’'m literally using slackware right now, so no idea why you replied like this.

The effective term, at least in Southern California for the low long ones are ‘humps’ as opposed to the short tall ‘speed bumps’.

Human content.

Yeah, I was afraid to respond similarly thinking shit, I’ll start naming rare or abandoned distros if I do.

Linux dude since slackware make menu_config;make modules modules_install

MOOPSY!!!

That’s all you need to know …

Look Mommy, I found a balloon!

I used to jog really late in the evening for many years and had this experience more than once.

My solution: Put my hands palm out flat in front of me as if to gesture I wasn’t a threat.

If walking, doing something similar and not making it weird is probably equally good.

My personal Codeburg issues:

• Consistently has had scaling issues
• Forgejo, codebergs self hosted option requires too much manpower/manual work and/or custom ansible work compared to others (plenty of complaints on their forums and blog topics from codeburg on this)
• Limited support, lack of binaries for different OS’s and arch types
• We don’t use K8/docker containers for production use (manpower limitation more than anything)

No, end story.

Edit: For those seeking alternatives I’d recommend Gitlab, Gitea or Bitbucket.

Another alternative I personally hate due to the lack of automation or hosting options is codeburg, but many are fine with those limitations.

Remember, Microsoft, who now owns GitHub once called Linux and Open Source a cancer on society.

I think you need only look back at the first mobile phones in the 1980s to find your answer to that.

The first mobile phones and I mean prior to the first Nokias were undesirable at any price level due to consisting of overly heavy nicad batteries. As another mentioned: 1987 Lethal Weapon showed this issue. The only other niche market they could squeeze these stupid huge shoesized battery phones was in cars.

Anything bigger than the current trend of phones is too big and there’s plenty of comedy skits like these demonstrating the ridiculousness of it all.

Edit: Adding that I would pay a premium to have a 4" iphone 1 sized phone back today more than I would to pay for a ridiculous fold model.

Then you should avoid ants as they understand basic probabilities in search of optimization.
