1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Does lemmy have any communities dedicated to archiving/hoarding data?

    Or, in this post fact era just generate a wiki with a hallucinating AI instead.

    https://github.com/XanderStrike/endless-wiki

    Honestly this project looks like a lot of fun.

    On prem NAS or SAN… you should have built it 3 years ago.

    why? what happened 3y ago?

    [–] Retro_unlimited@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    All the AI slop and internet censorship asking for ID now?

    [–] mr_pip@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

    IT HAS ONLY BEEN 3 YEARS?!?!?!?

    I kind of want that hackermans diy pc that runs on 18650 cells

    Official numbers here https://www.debian.org/mirror/size

    About 4.4TB, but that's all architectures and (I believe?) all distributions (stable, testing...).

    If you only want source+all+amd64+arm64, and only want stable, it will be smaller of course.

    Not nothing, but at $10/TB or so, it's not much.

    And if you're following 3-2-1, I'm pretty sure the "1" is already handled for you :)

    Kinda curious where you’re getting $10/TB from

    So I actually have a dockerized Debian/Ubuntu mirror I think is like 2 versions ob Debian and the latest Ubuntu and still less then 1tb in total size. The English wikipedia is 50gb so overall not that much and very doable. However pretty unnecessary

    I heart there is Wikipedia on ipfs. Is that a good solution for Linux packages too?

    If anyone is interested in philosophy, religion, or just want to archive it for historical reasons, IIRC sacred-texts.com has a USB version of their entire archive. They sell it, but I'm sure someone could find a work around there, if they were opposed to supporting them* for some reason. It's a massive collection of philosophical and religious works, and I believe they even have things like constitutions and legal works, as well.

    *I know nothing about the people that run it or their ideology

    Thanks for reminding me about this.
