Server is rebooted, as needed, for updates. I think it just got a kernel update two weeks ago, so it probably only has ~14 days of uptime.

My desktop and laptop are shut down when not in use. Leaving them on when not in use is pointless.

Never understood obsessions with “uptime”. If you have high numbers for uptime, you’re a bad sysadmin/maintainer of your hardware unless the appliance is purpose-built to be always up and air gapped.

I could care less about “the masses”. Most of the world are morons.

On the plus side, it’s nice that you don’t need a new ID for every Lemmy instance.

Any social media that you isn’t open and self hostable (Lemmy, Mastodon, etc) should not be used. That includes Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, and more.

Most social media has, IMHO, been a net-negative for society and I am in the generation that grew up with it in its infancy.

In my experience, the updates are quick as long as you boot it once every few months. I have a work laptop that I rarely use unless I’m travelling (I work primarily on a desktop, but I will keep it charged and update it once every 2-3 months so it’s ready for action.

For Brother Laser printers, I highly recommend the brlaser package over using the Brother-provided drivers.

Anybody who thought any corporation is going to “do the right thing”: Exhibit A why we’ve been telling you that’s fucking wrong all this time.

Oh CES. You always bring out the weirdest, zaniest, most unhinged ideas and put them center stage. And I love you for it.

Not the product…this is fucking disturbing.

Fucking animals. Fuck Israel’s military.

They’re…uh…experienced in identifying it.

Just saying that the Prius Plug-in Hybrid seems to be an excellent PHEV.

You’re probably a better candidate for a plug-in hybrid.
