GustavoM , 1 year ago to linux in ZorinOS?

That was my “entrypoint” distro to start fiddling with Linux. So I’d say, go for it until you are feeling confident enough to take the next step – Linux Mint.

Arch linux (btw). Because it’s easy to install and has the most accessible package manager of em all.

…

…before you shoot rocks at me and try to burn me alive… download an arch iso, run it, and then type “archinstall”. Thank me later.

“Oh, but its still veeeeeery hard to inst-”

GustavoM , 1 year ago to selfhosted in If you want to host something on a Raspberry Pi, you should consider using literally any other piece of hardware

You seem to have conveniently left out power consumption.

Exactly. Thus, even a rpi 4 w/ 2 GiB is serviceable enough as is if you know what you are doing.

That is a whole lot of text just to say “Rpi bad” – its (still) the best single board computer for both performance and low power draw.

That is like saying, “I know your mother is female”.

GustavoM , 1 year ago to nostupidquestions in Is it just me or did anyone else became a more avid poster since joining lemmy?

Because it’s new and everyone is still enjoying the “Lemmy good, Plebbit bad” mentality/circlejerk out of the current events we are having.

GustavoM , 1 year ago to selfhosted in What can the 'average Joe' start hosting, that will change their life?

Not exactly a “life changing experience”, but using blocky instead of pihole or adguard. It’s basically “the same thing” but with way more customization features – and the “cherry on top” of setting it as user nobody instead of root or your current one.

For the same reason you need to get a job.

GustavoM , 1 year ago to youshouldknow in YSK: While you're on Lemmy/Kbin/Fediverse, you're not "the product" but you're also not "the customer".

…I’m sorry, but blind positivism won’t get you, Lemmy and nothing else to anywhere. Nothing is perfect neither free of “predatory capitalism” – one day, you will “be the product”. And there is nothing you can do about it, because this world ain’t a fairy tale where we’ve got fairies flying around and giving us anything we want – we need money. And lots of it.

Shout at me, swarm at me with negative downvotes like it’s the best thing you can do (which probably is), but this is the real world, giving it to you at a couple words, fair and square.

Lemmitors.

GustavoM , 1 year ago to nostupidquestions in What's with all the NordVPN hate?

In a nutshell -- it transforms your PC/phone into a honeypot for third parties.

GustavoM , 1 year ago to nostupidquestions in What's your solution to end all wars?

It's (theoretically) impossible -- you can't break someone's (ignorant and established) will/ideas/plans with words alone or treats. Most world leaders are megalomaniacs by heart, i.e they won't stop until they are done with what they want.

GustavoM , 1 year ago to technology in NASA is recycling 98 percent of astronaut pee and sweat on the ISS into drinkable water

Imagine you are chilling on the sofa watching netflix with your girl and some random girl knocks at your door and shouts: “WOW! Your filtered piss tastes so GREAT!”

…

Thats an odd way to give someone a blowjob.
