Oh I absolutely believe you. 70k is a lot of people that must draw in other personalities for sure. Same holds true for rennies tbh and we get some of the same types at times. It’s just that between the disturbed swingers, the scary conspiracy theorists and the weird middle aged loners that account for the 8 of 11 we know who went, it doesn’t sound like something we would risk doing lol.

Interesting story actually. I was always curious about the artistic aspect of BM, but that’s where myself and my friend groups always drawn the line (we dress up for Ren fairs).
No offense, I believe in freedom of expression, but 8 of the 11 people I’ve ever known who frequently attended Burning Man were unconditionally HR nightmares. By that I mean there’s a very distinct personality type that seems drawn to that event and they can’t take a hint to just stfu and not talk about it at work when people are obviously disturbed by their comments.

Needs some flextape to perfect it.
Understood. Only thing I could think of is that interpreted my make menu_config line as referencing linux from scratch.
Fun fact: In the 90s, everyone had to compile a kernel using menu_config or menuconfig configurator. It didn’t matter if you ran red hat or slackware or debian, they all had you configure your kernel on some form back then.
We would often download the latest kernel overnight from a bbs or mirror site beforehand days before installing because you often needed the latest kernel to get your hardware working.
Anyway, no worries. I was just confused by your response.
I didn’t even mention a single distro and I’'m literally using slackware right now, so no idea why you replied like this.

Yeah, I was afraid to respond similarly thinking shit, I’ll start naming rare or abandoned distros if I do.

My solution: Put my hands palm out flat in front of me as if to gesture I wasn’t a threat.
If walking, doing something similar and not making it weird is probably equally good.

1·1 month agoMy personal Codeburg issues:
- Consistently has had scaling issues
- Forgejo, codebergs self hosted option requires too much manpower/manual work and/or custom ansible work compared to others (plenty of complaints on their forums and blog topics from codeburg on this)
- Limited support, lack of binaries for different OS’s and arch types
- We don’t use K8/docker containers for production use (manpower limitation more than anything)

19·1 month agoNo, end story.
Edit: For those seeking alternatives I’d recommend Gitlab, Gitea or Bitbucket.
Another alternative I personally hate due to the lack of automation or hosting options is codeburg, but many are fine with those limitations.
Remember, Microsoft, who now owns GitHub once called Linux and Open Source a cancer on society.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How big could a cell phone be before you refused to carry it?English
2·1 month agoI think you need only look back at the first mobile phones in the 1980s to find your answer to that.
The first mobile phones and I mean prior to the first Nokias were undesirable at any price level due to consisting of overly heavy nicad batteries. As another mentioned: 1987 Lethal Weapon showed this issue. The only other niche market they could squeeze these stupid huge shoesized battery phones was in cars.

Edit: Adding that I would pay a premium to have a 4" iphone 1 sized phone back today more than I would to pay for a ridiculous fold model.
