I mean fair enough, i can also drink gasoline and douse myself in it, then set myself on fire and jump inside a shark infested ocean to put out the fire, but I'm not gonna do that either

Doesn't match my experience. The worst thing about it is ping, but download is mostly always around 100-200.

I mean fair enough, some files are in /run/current-system/sw/

well nix still uses the same structure, the only difference is that files are symlinked to files in subfolders of the /nix/store folder.

For example you may find that /etc/hosts is just a symlink to /nix/store/69420aaabbbcccdddfffggghhhiii420-hosts

In my case I'm my own server runner but hey I wouldn't mind a donation 😂

Bonus tip:

ci" means change inside "" ca" means change around ""

the " can be replaced with any of: ({[wspbt

For changing inside or around parentheses, curky brackets, square brackets, words, sentences, paragraphs, code blocks and HTML tags respectively.

So for example if you want to replace all parameters in a function call you just do ci(

But that's not all, the c is one of the possible operators, but not the only one.

di{ deletes the content of a block ya[ copies the content of something inside square brackets g~iw swaps the case of a word guis makes a sentence lower case gUip makes a paragraph upper case

And the most useless one: g?at replaces the content of an HTML tag with its rot13

If you're on Android use grayjay, if you're on Linux use freetube. You can follow channels on both of those.

If using grayjay and you can afford it please do pay for the license; you're not technically required; it's based on the honor system, but it helps the developers at FUTO work on it and it helps them donate to other FOSS projects.

If you use freetube please donate to them, even a dollar, the developers will greatly appreciate it.

Let's support software that doesn't hate us!

Weekly reminder that the best way to tell them off is to donate to the Lemmy developers, even 1 dollar is no doubt appreciated. Tell reddit off by using their competitor and paying for it.

that's a good point! I guess I've never personally experienced those extremes you have (I was born in the late 90s), I think my first internet connection was ISDN or maybe the early days of ADSL, because I remember the day my family got 7Mbit and we were mesmerized by how fast it was

in a few hundred years if ever. I doubt that the average person will ever need more than 1 Tb/s

to give you crazy numbers:

1 second of a raw 32k video with 12bit color at 60fps is around 50 GB/s

that will likely not happen, FOSS tools will still respect you as a sovereign individual
