Oh god.. You'll have to learn IIS. Internet Inf🤮rmation Services.

In all seriousness Windows Server is much more enjoyable than Home/Pro/Enterprise or whatever the desktop versions are called. You have more control over the system and they don't hinder you from configuring stuff unlike on the desktop version.

Someone already suggested to get a VPS and just get to know the system. A tip though if you have to spin up a windows server on Azure vs somewhere else: search for info with the keyword "azure". Microsoft stuff seems to work worse on their own cloud than anywhere else. MS SQL Server and Azure's version of MS SQL Server differs and lacks features.

Been a long time since I had to use any of the above so things might have changed.

Wikipedia explains some history of dates that are not on Saint Joseph's day, but couldn't find a detailed explanation for every country.

Also found out some wild stuff like:

In France lighter manufacturer Flaminaire introduced the idea of Father's Day first in 1949 for commercial reasons. Director Marcel Quercia wanted to sell their lighter in France. In 1950, they introduced "la Fête des Pères", which would take place every third Sunday of June (following the American example). Their slogan is "Nos papas nous l'ont dit, pour la fête des pères, ils désirent tous un Flaminaire" (Our dads told us, for Father's Day, they all want a Flaminaire). In 1952, the holiday was officially decreed.

The write-up I'm referencing has some at the end. Maybe Delta chat?

Symbolic and actually very cool.

Yeah I haven't found another fun replacement for Duolingo. The FOSS project "LibreLingo" has been abandoned long time ago too..

Ha, exact problem I had! Moved abroad and that fixed it ;)

Jokes aside, that's a real problem for most people who work full time :(

This is kinda how I started my language learning journey as well, but realized after a year of no progress that I need a structured course to truly get that motivation and progress.

If you have a possibility to take a course somewhere in your town I highly recommend! Might meet new people and have fun too! :)

Views that seriously harm or endanger other people are dangerous.

If the founder would have opposing views in e.g. should we narrow down the car roads in cities and widen the pedestrian walks - ok. I think there's a lot to this question, I think pedestrian walks should be wider, cars are dangerous, etc. But this is not as dangerous as:

"Do you deny scientific evidence that COVID is real and a real danger to a lot of humans"

SimpleX Chat – Many suggested this and I will explicitly recommend against it due to the founder's positions on various topics. This includes being anti-vaxx, believing COVID-19 was a hoax, trans- and homophobia, climate denial; In the SimpleX Groupchat he's also been seen basically bootlicking trump a couple times, but I've lost receipts to that.

I did not know this. I've seen people recommend SimpleX on lemmy too, but probably they didn't know.

I did the same two years ago. All content still deleted.

Wanted to make sure my deletions are not caught by some automated system so deleted posts and comments manually over the span of two weeks whenever I was waiting for something / had time.

Edit: added that this was 2 years ago
