Arch for my desktop, because there I like having an always up-to-date system with the latest drivers and libraries so that I can always try the latest versions of whatever it is I want to play with next. Pacman is also a pretty good package manager, and almost any piece of software that is not in the default repos can be found in the AUR. For the rest, I also like that Arch just gets out of your way and lets you configure your system how you want.
Debian for anything that runs unattended, like all my homelab services. It's well tested, offers feature stability, has long-enough support, and doesn't do weird things every other release like forcing snaps or netplan or cloud-init on you. Those "boring" qualities make it the perfect base to run something for a long time that doesn't scream for attention all the time.

I do believe it actually was black and blue, but I find it very hard to believe that anyone would perceive the way it is presented in this picture, with that lighting and level of overexposure, as black and blue.
Even looking at the RGB values of individual pixels, they are distinctly brown/gold-ish and a pastellish faded out purple.
The original meaning of the word as I first heard it back in the late 1990s was to refer to the vast majority of "normal" people who don't have an interest in or deep understanding of technology and internet culture.
I don't think it was originally meant as an insult, but more as an acknowledgement and reminder to ourselves that the things we were into and cared about were a niche thing and not exactly the norm.
Nowadays, I've heard it applied to just about any niche interest or hobby, for example: people who are not into mechanical keyboards would also be "normies", and worse it's being thrown around as a direct insult to people, in the same vein as calling someone "basic".
Actually even further than that, even back in the 80s it was apparently used in certain subcultures to distinguish (drug) "addicts" from "normal people".
Is there some script, addon or something that will take data from GDPR request and delete content, especially comments, one by one? redact had this capability, but it’s not working now...
It has a built-in option to point it to your extracted GDPR data, and will edit and/or delete all the comments that are listed in there.
Just configure it according to the instructions, and then let it run unattended for a while. It took about 15 hours to delete the 13000 comments on my 12 year old account.
TL;DR: even if your delete script confirms a full wipe and your Reddit profile page shows zero comment, there may still be comments left over (that you can find through a search engine and delete manually on Reddit)....
Download the free utility shreddit from https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit and point it to the directory where you extracted your GDPR data using the --gdpr-export-dir flag.
ATACMS is a ground launched ballistic missile, so it follows a straight-forward parabolic trajectory: it climbs very high, goes very fast and then comes down on top of programmed GPS coordinates. Storm Shadow is a stealthy air launched cruise missile, it flies low at subsonic speeds and can manoeuver following a pre-progammed path (for example, to go around known air defense locations) and had advanced optics to locate the target.
Technologically Storm Shadow is way more advanced and it has a higher payload too. It also costs 4 times as much per missile, there are less of them and they can't carry a cluster bomb warhead because in Europe we decided not to make those weapons anymore.
I have got my privacy report in CSV form and have about 40k comments each with the id parent Id and permalink. Is there a way to parse this to delete script. I know shreddit does it for $15 premium but looking for free options
This is not what OP is asking for. PowerDeleteSuite is limited by what the Reddit API allows access to, so about 1000 comments from your profile. It doesn't let you feed a list of comment URLs to it for deletion.
That goes for any unexploded ordnance, we are still cleaning up regular unexploded shells from World War 1 more than 100 years after the fact and every now and then it still claims a victim.
It sucks, but you have to offset that against the benefit. The longer the Russians occupy parts of Ukraine, the more atrocities they are able to commit against civilians (cf. Bucha, Irpin, Izium, Kherson,...). Also when people talk about the civilian casualties, they always forget that the bulk of the Ukrainian soldiers were civilians just over a year ago, and they would love nothing more than to return to a peaceful civilian life. Their lives are valuable as well and should be protected too.
If cluster munitions helps them to get rid of the Russians faster and with a lot less casualties, it is a trade off we should make.
I want to be clear on my bias here: I firmly believe that open source would not be a ‘thing’ if it weren’t for Red Hat. Linus Torvalds himself once said (albeit 10 years ago) that the shares he received from Red Hat before their IPO was ‘his only big Linux payout’. I don’t think anyone would disagree with the...
As someone who's been into Linux and FOSS since the mid 1990s, it boggles my mind to see discussions like this pop up, and to see people accuse the "rebuilders" of... what exactly? exercising their rights? It betrays a complete lack of understanding of how FOSS works and what it is about, and honestly it makes me angry.
It literally doesn't matter that Red Hat is a "champion of open source", which is extremely debatable in itself, or how much they have contributed to Linux (out of self-interest, not altruism). Those contributions don't entitle them to support contracts, ownership of the software or anything really. At the end of the day, they chose to build their business around a support model for FOSS software that they don't have ownership of. It's up to them to make that work for them, and by and large they do: large businesses love having supported software and having support contracts with their vendors, but acting as if they own the software and the world owes them something is preposterous.
The argument that the rebuilders don't contribute any value is ridiculous too. First off: so what if they don't? They're still within their rights to do what they do. If I made my own SpaceCadetLinux based on Debian sources, and all I did was s/Debian/SpaceCadet/g in the sources, what's wrong with that?
Secondly, the value rebuilders contribute is to provide a legal, freely available and unburdened RHEL compatible distribution for those people who can self support, or who don't need a support contract with Red Hat/IBM, or who are perhaps not satisfied with the quality level of Red Hat/IBM support, or who just don't want to do business with Red Hat/IBM for whatever reason. If this hurts Red Hat's business: too bad so sad. See the part where they're not entitled to anything.
You can't really blame this on the people. The centralized platforms offered something that for most people worked a lot better than what was already existing. In the beginning, those corporate platforms were actually quite good so it's only natural that people flocked to it.
It's only after those companies achieved a monopoly in their market, that they started pulling a bait-and-switch and began to enshittify their sites. Network effect makes it so that mass migration to something that's technically better is unlikely. This bait-and-switch is where they stole it from the people.
I'd been using Reddit for 6 years; thousands of hours. All gone, in a quick(ish) running of a script. And once it's gone, it's gone. Link rot is gonna be so much bigger soon. And everything that represents a mark on the platform from me will be gone....
I sorta felt the same before I started to delete... but it felt weirdly cathartic and satisfying once it was done.
The only thing that bugs me now is that there are still comments that I can't get to. My user profile shows zero comments, but googling my username + reddit, I can still find old posts, and I want them gone too.
I find it hilarious to see a +100 upvoted comment that when you try to read it, it's as if you had a stroke, for example:
Supported neglected met she therefore unwilling discovery remainder. Way sentiments two indulgence uncommonly own. Diminution to frequently sentiments he connection continuing indulgence.
Yeah, but Lorem Ipsum is instantly recognizable and filterable. With random text, you have to read a few sentences first before you realize it's bullshit.
I get the feeling we are now talking about two different things. If by "cracked" you mean that someone can rip and redistribute the content once they get access to it, sure, it's very hard to protect against that.
What I mean is: it's possible to restrict access to the service so that you cannot watch a video unless you've played the ad first or you are a paying customer. As an example: Netflix or any of the movie streaming platforms. There's no add-on or special browser that allows you to use Netflix without being a paying customer, and if YouTube implements their plan, they can make it so you won't be able to circumvent it just by using Firefox, like you claimed.
