It doesn't help that they keep deprecating and changing standard stuff every other version. It's like they can't make up their mind and everything may be subject to change. Updating to the most recent release can suddenly cause 10s or 100s of compiler warnings/errors and things may no longer behave the same. Then you look up the new documentation and realize that you have to refactor a large part of the codebase because the "new way" is for whatever reason vastly different.

It's not necessary, but a good thing to have if something goes wrong and you want to debug/monitor something. It's really up to you and your needs.

It's insane how hard they're spinning everything to make it look like everyone is out for them and they're the little innocent ones. AcKschuaLly there is no empire just a group of quirky and totally autonomous friends who decide to help each other out.

I didn't realize how much worse YouTube has gotten since I last used it in 2019. Still, through Invidious I've been noticing that the comments on popular videos have gotten weird, especially in recent years. Also it seems like YouTube is deleting any comment that is even remotely negative. Because all I ever see anymore are generic positive praise comments. Meanwhile there are content farms out there that put out videos for "Kids" on a rapid pace that contain borderline sexual content. I wish more people would start using PeerTube because I have a feeling that YouTube won't be getting any better in the future.

incognito mode in chrome is little more than the illusion of being logged off.

Which shouldn't be a surprise since Chrome itself is just another one of Google's spyware products.

Debian is still the better distro overall compared to Ubuntu imo. and it's much more lightweight too. Canonical has become more and more like Microsoft in recent years.

Firefox does sandbox everything but vulnerabilities exist and sometimes go unnoticed for a while before they're discovered and patched. If a malicious script does manage to escape the sandbox it will be able to do literally anything to the system since it has root privileges. It would have full access to any device that's in /dev, it could create, modify and delete udev or iptables rules, it could mess with the BIOS since the kernel exposes EFI variables, if the mainboard has re-writable flash chips for the firmware it could write malicious code to them since they may show up in /dev, etc. If any of this makes you uneasy then you probably should stop running stuff as root in general except for when you really need to.

Also in general you don't want to run any graphical applications on a Server unless there is a very specific reason for it because it takes up extra resources and therefore makes the machine use more power overall. This is especially bad when the machine in question has no hardware acceleration and renders everything in software. Remote desktop also adds CPU/GPU load and takes up a good bit of I/O and network bandwidth which is not ideal for a NAS server.

I despise these influencer/content creator types that have made it their career. I remember when making videos and streaming was about fun, not making profit. I don't understand how anyone can watch these fake shitbags for hours and spend ANY amount of money on them or their shitty merch. Every time someone showed me videos of such "content creators" I felt pissed off afterwards. Not because of the people showing them to me, but because of the annoying, loud and capitalist nature of the videos/streams themselves. I just don't get it.

Glad I'm not the only one lol. I also look up DPRK news on occasion for some positive vibes.

Non-American here. No. I didn't even know school shootings are a thing until I learned about the Empire. When I was in school all we did was fire drills.
