I once got called the f-slur for having the audacity to read a book in public, outdoors in front of the library.

Is that the world’s most cursed SEO, or is that repetition something that’s significant to the cult?

Nevermind, I see the “for search engines” now. Missed it in all the nonsense.

This is the first beard I’ve ever seen make someone’s chin look weaker.

Edit: is it accessible without knowing much Japanese?

It is, if you look a few things up, but there’s also a readily available translated “backup copy” floating around.

And iirc the next fedora release will finally unify everything under /usr/bin.

On my current Fedora 40 install /bin is already a symlink to /usr/bin

The main difference from the film being that the novel isn’t a satire–Heinlein was being sincere.

Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit

It’s a good thing we have you around to let us know what all Palestinians think

Firefish has some cool features, but every time I opened it on my laptop the fans would immediately spin up to 100%. It’s not exactly lightweight on the client side.

Slaves don’t have private ownership of their capital (that is, their own labor)… because someone else does.

Most “free” workers, in terms of capital, own only their own labor.

Capitalists own the majority of the capital–land, equipment, intellectual property, etc.

A system where the workers own the capital (aka the means of production) is socialism.

With the exception of some stuff used for windows desktop development, .NET (“dotnet core” is just .NET now) is released under the MIT license. I’m not following how using .NET would be contributing to the “agenda of proprietary software”.

The dotnet cli tools that come with the SDK run just fine cross platforms without Visual Studio. Your Linux distribution probably packages the SDK already, just install and use it.

If you want, you can use C# without .NET by using Unity, mono, or maybe Godot now I think?

I usually file that under “whataboutism”

Unfortunately a lot of the IPFS community seems to have been inundated with crypto nonsense. Which is a shame, since I think the basic idea is a good one.

You should check out IPFS which is pretty similar to what you’re describing, at least for file storage (which can be used to host web content).

Absolutely. They know that Facebook is uncool and unpopular. The Instagram branding still has some capital with the yutes.

Edit: I don’t mean to say that The Verge is doing this intentionally (maybe, I don’t know), but Meta certainly is.

I’m sure it will come to the EU eventually. Probably sooner rather than later.

I’ve been wrong before, but I can’t imagine Trump accepting a plea deal.

Mostly I’d be worried about actually being able to finding a decent jury without one nutjob who refuses to convict under any circumstance.

why American government has not gone after Proton like they did with Lavabit

Lavabit was based in the United States. Proton AG operates entirely in Switzerland. Ostensibly the US government would have to go through the Swiss court system to get anything out of Proton.

.NET core is supported on Linux. There is some stuff that won’t work on Linux, like WPF, but it doesn’t sound like you’re using that.

If you are searching specifically for “.NET hosting” you are bound to come across a bunch of Windows results, so I wouldn’t recommend that.

Any Linux virtual server provider will work just fine, provided they support a Linux distribution that runs the .NET core runtime, (which includes all the major ones). I’d avoid AWS or Azure. Those are a good way to run up a big bill pretty quick.

A $5 vm from the likes of Linode, Digital Ocean, Vultr, etc, will get you started just fine. Typically the costs won’t be able to “spiral out of control”–you’ll be allocated a set amount of CPU, memory, disk, and network usage.

You will have to configure the web server & .net yourself.

I am assuming from your post that you don’t have a lot of experience with Linux. You can try setting it all up from home too if you have an old PC or laptop lying around. Download a linux distribution and give setting up a server a shot.
