Yes, and one of the reasons I want to keep it going. It’s an old Fujitsu and has a cool form factor (another reason). I recycled about a dozen laptops a few months back, but could not bear to see this one go. It came with XP, but I don’t care to reload that at all. Am also downloading older versions of Slack to see if they’ll work.

Good that you mention WolfSSL and that HAProxy team seems to like it. Years ago some Linux distributions made the switch to LibreSSL, but unfortunately that all (?) seems to have failed.

I was trying to say that if the OpenSSL developers upload new source code to only GitHub and something goes wrong, even for example simply a mistake or failure by GitHub, then other users wanting to download will not have to wait for the OpenSSL developers to repair that problem when OpenSSL project would for example have mirrors on Codeberg or sourcehut or their own git server, the latter which they intend to deprecate.

I still think forums are the best way to handle support. Even phpBB is better than any chat. Have a bot alert a chat channel that the project team hangs out for every new topic or something, if that’s a concern.

Giving the users the choice to have IRC and a forum sounds nice to me. Forums for the longer conversations and be able to look up things with a search engine, and IRC for quick questions and informal chat.

Discord is the Gold Standard for you ? Why ?

I have an old laptop with a Transmeta Crusoe CPU. Can anyone recommend a distro that will work on it? I’ll download this one and give it a shot too.

You have a computer with a CPU made by the company that Linus Torvalds worked for!

Well, yes. But let's say the OpenSSL developers copy new changes of source code to GitHub, and something goes wrong after the copying (Think of a malicious attacker breaking in and changes some code), then all the people copying from that one download link will be in the same boat as well.

I don’t like the vibe on reddit. it has people like you. but now that I catch this kind of hateful shit here… I can see the internet is the same no matter where you look.

Well, let me share with you, that I've been reading on Mastodon for years without any complaints about commenters really, but yesterday I was for the first time really shocked seeing a persistent troll in two different toot threads related to Gaza. Their toxic comments were about to make me throw up. What to make of that ? Now that I think about it, spammers have been making an effort to create multiple accounts on both Lemmy and Mastodon instances for some time, so I guess more trolls and people with unpleasant vibes may pop up more often as well.

A lot of comments there. Found this one via a search engine.

 
 

A new hype ? Or are these sed (streaming editor) users in disguise ?

 

An old lady and a young man pass each other in the street, wearing exactly the same pale blue, beige and dark blue checked coat. The old lady is pointing to the young man and grinning.
