  • If you can’t install something like EndeavourOS or tumble weed then you likely were not going to be able to reload an os anyway.

    Installing vanilla arch is a very useful activity to do at least once so you know how the system works but don’t have to use vanilla Arch and can use any of the derivatives so long as it has the latest kernel / drivers for your hardware.

    Bunch of people complaining about electron in this thread but I’m happy it exists.

    Without electron you would get way fewer Linux apps and often no GUI to go with them.

    The RAM usage is high sometimes but I have 128gb and unused RAM is wasted RAM. I don’t care how much something is using until it starts to swap or gets oom.

    So, the problem with VPNs is that the cheap ones / resellers have known IPs.

    So if you use them you get lumped in with all the people using them maliciously.

    If you run a site with any kind of desirable the content the crawlers and scripters hound you endlessly and eventually if you don’t want it to be your full time job you just end up banning the entire IP/ ASN that the malicious traffic is coming from.

    It sucks and if anyone has any solutions I’m all ears.







  • It’s extractive because tourists don’t add or contribute to the reason that place is a tourist destination to begin with and in fact often take away or are detrimental.

    Of course they bring money but too many and the start to crush the vibe, ruin the housing market and sometimes cause gentrification pushing out the people who were originally there.

    Some people are fine but too many can ruin things pretty quick. In the age of Instagram and accessible travel it doesn’t take much for a small place to get over run in just a few years.

    For an extreme example look at the lines to get up to mount Everest.
