I have been looking into setting up a pixelfed server, but I don't know if I could afford to run it at the moment.

This was way more wholesome than I thought it was going to be.

Carrie Underwood doesn't surprise me, but The Village People news hurts.

Haunting and etherial, Ethel Cain's Punish from the album Perverts, sits in the background for 5 minutes until it demands to be heard.

Well, to be fair it wasn't just her. Kwasi Kwarteng helped too!

Personally, I love to tinker (especially on my main machine) so I don't mind the complexities of setting up neovim. However, I do mess around with a bunch of servers, and I like to edit code on those servers, meaning I am often installing/compiling neovim and copying over my config before I can get to work.

What I am liking about helix is the idea that its default setup has what I need to get started straight away.

I am looking forward to giving helix a go.

That's a good enough excuse for me to try it! Thanks.

No positive change happened as a result of 2008, and I doubt any change will happen if there was an equal or even greater crash now.

The only way change will happen is if people demand it. The collective trauma of WW2 was enough to bring about change almost as if the populous went "That was shit, now we deserve something better". That, and the fear of communist thought taking hold pushed the governing class to action.

Just out of interest, what are the reasons someone would move from neovim to helix?

It's about a 24 minute walk or a 17 minute journey by bus

If you're willing to take the plunge and spend more time in the terminal you could give neovim a try.

To turn it into an IDE contender you can use LazyVim to automatically setup a bunch of quality of life improvements.

It's a bit of a commitment to learn but it is super rewarding when you get it.

Looks like next year you will have to fire up a windows VM and play a game for 5 minutes, and then safely return to the warm embrace of your cosy Linux system.

If you haven't already, try and find a zero waste shop near you, the kind of place where you take your own containers and fill it up with what you need.

Me and my partner made it a part of our routine to visit once a month, and we have successfully replaced a bunch of our household items with zero plastic options.

Feeling inconsistent (self.climbing)

Does anyone have any tips for keeping going even when you're finding it hard to get started climbing?

I'd very much appreciate any tips at all.

 

Hello peoples,

I am looking for tips on how to make my self-hosted setup as safe as possible.

Some background: I started self-hosting some services about a year ago, using an old lenovo thin client. It's plenty powerful for what I'm asking it to do, and it's not too loud. Hardware wise I am not expecting to change things up any time soon.

I am not expecting anyone to take the time to baby me through the process, I will be more than happy with some links to good articles and the like. My main problem is that there's so much information out there, I just don't know where to start or what to trust.

Anyways, thank you for reading.
