Abuse causes PTSD.

Abuse does not, in fact, require mental illness. It just requires you to be a fucking cunt.

Gee thanks you made it depressing :(

A server can just be a PC left working in a corner, depnding on what specifically you're doing with it. Hardware designed to be a server tends to have more power in the places that matter for that job and less (if any) power dedicated to home use stuff like graphics.

I have a server for my family (WELL mostly me and my father). It consists of an old gaming PC with Linux Server Stuff installed on it. Doesn't need to be anything more, it's just Emby (media, mostly films) and NAS stuff.

It's mostly intent and what you run on it.

Land Before Time and its one bajillion sequels, which regularly aired on Brazilian Cartoon Network

Because I have the kind of autism that makes me enjoy explaining things, I will now explain the jokes. It won't make them funny, but at least you'll get them next time. 🤓

  • System Deez Nuts -- SystemD is a program that has become a central component of most distributions of Linux. It is a bit controversial (mostly because us Linux folk like to argue, see my other post on this thread) -- But it's just a Deez Nuts pun. The D in SystemD means 'Daemon', by the way.
  • Average PulseAudio user -- PulseAudio is the component that managed sound on most Linux Distros for many years (nowadays it is slowly being phased out and replaced by Pipewire everywhere). Some people have had problems getting sound out of it. So we get Xenia with earphones that make no sound whatsoever.
  • lp0 on fire -- Is an old message that Linux would spit out into its logs in the back-then times when something went very fucking wrong with the printer component of the system. It said 'on fire' because it was a dramatic message that would make the user go and look because it meant catastrophic type errors. So we get Xenia with a printer literally on fire.

Xenia is a character that lost a competition to be Linux Mascot in the nineties (to a chubby 🐧 named Tux), but was rediscovered by modern users who really latched onto her (of course they did, she's a sassy furry hacker, crack cocaine for modern Internet users), so she's enjoying a bit of a revival.

This piece of art is just some silly Linux Community jokes, using the character. (the lp0 on fire panel is so cyoot)

I like the Compies.

They're just little guys

No, but I'll try to answer anyway:

  • SystemD is large, it is a dependency for many things, it sort of takes over managing the entire OS, and a lot of Unix Philosophy Purists hate that about it because it goes against the idea of "one program does one thing, keep it simple"
  • SystemD is inflexible and things must adapt to its way of doing things, not the other way around, and again, people don't like that because Linux Users all have "don't tell me what to do" as their core philosophy (even I'm like that, I just have different priorities on what I don't want to be told about)
  • Some people argue it slows things down. I don't know. I never cared enough to find out. I will keep it that way because I personally have no interest.
  • ... The head developer, one Lennart Poettering, is a bit of a jerk.

That fourth one, I feel, is the real sticking point. Much like Pulseaudio (same dev), whatever merits OR defects it has as a computer program are entirely 100% irrelevant, people are just mad because the head dev posted asshole things online and that means he's evil and everything he touches is retroactively shit.
