Congrats! For me it also has bin godsend that the company allowwes Linux for developers as an exception. In my case it also means that you yourself are responsible for everything yourself, backup, upgrades, security, etc. The only thing they make sure is that the Cisco VPN is also working (it’s shitty but anyway) with Linux.
But that is exactly what I want. They do offer a corporate Ubuntu image, which I used one time but hated it, so I blasted it and installed Arch (btw.).
I still need to run MS office and Teams, but I do that in the Browser (have to use Chromium for it because it doesn’t work well in Librewolf). But like you say, those pills are much easier to swallow compared to winning Windows 11 on a daily basis, especially as a IT professional.


I feel like I’m in good company, I moved my stuff to my own forgejo instance about two month ago because finally I had some time to set one up. I wanted to do it for years because it was embarrysing to host open source code on a closed source platform ran by Microsoft. But my main kick in the but to really just do it was their CEO told his workers to embrace AI or get out: https://www.businessinsider.com/github-ceo-developers-embrace-ai-or-get-out-2025-8 I knew this is not the place to be anymore.


What it’s very accurate, light years ahead of zodiac signs.


I’ve been using TextEditor.app on OSX to quickly open it and jot down something during meetings, etc. until Apple put in cloud into it and you needed to first choose the name and the path of the file where you wanted to store it.
This is when I decided to write TextEd.app which would only do what the previous app did, open a new window with a textarea and only when you wanted to save it it would ask you for the path and name. I even removed the RDT functionality and it would be just plain text without anything.
I’m already using a matrix bridge for it because I can’t get some cousins to move natively to Matrix. But if that would make it more stable it would be appreciated.


Zero, because when I decide to join a fediverse network, first thing I do I set up a single user instance:


Yeah that’s what I’m doing but I played for the fast CPU and can’t make it the bottleneck ^^


Gehe, I wonder how well it would work ^^


I’ve been on Linux since 2002.


I just had a look, 2nd of April I payed 67,000 KRW for one 16 GB stick, now the same one (XPG DDR5 PC5-48000 CL30 LANCER BLADE White), they only sell them in pairs, a pair costs 470,000 KRW in the same shop, so 235,000 KRW per 16 GB stick. That is a price increase of 250%, god damn.


Two browsers full of tabs but that is not a problem, but once I start compiling AOSP (which I sometimes want to do for work at home instead in the cloud because it’s easier and faster to debugg) then it eats up all the RAM imediatelly and I have to give it 40 more GB or swap and then this swapping is the bottleneck. Once that is running the computer can’t really do anything else, even the browser struggles.


This is very unfortunate, about a year ago I built my PC and only put in 32 GB of Ram, It was double I had on my laptop so I thought it should be enough for the beginning and I could buy more later.
Already after 2 months I realizes I can do so much more because of the fast CPU in parallel but suddenly the amount of RAM became the bottleneck. When I looked at the RAM prices it didn’t seem quite worth it and I waited. But that backfired because since then the prices never went down, only up.


That sounds weird, if you’re single then perhaps, but it’d still be weird but I assume you’re still married to his mom.


Haha yes, even Timmy related, I did it and it worked well with my one person PieFed instance :)


I use the picture everywhere as my avatar, together with this nickname. It makes it easy to find me on different platforms and to recognize me.


I’ve never seen a post I made deleted other than the ones I had on my first instance which I had to abonden.
Look for example at this almost on year old post of mine: https://piefed.jeena.net/post/84273 there are some accounts marked as [deleted] but their content is still there.


In Japan they drink cold unsweetened tea.

Why a Bottle of Japanese Iced Tea is the Ultimate Summer Refresher
This was such a extreme experience for me. I was in second grade I think and the elementary school brought all the children to the cinema without the parents.
Here I remember crying, it was soo sad! And then when Gmork attacks Atreju I had to close my eyes.
Yeah, I also think this is the safest way. PeerTube doesn’t have direct messages like PieFed, Lemmy or Mastodon have.
