My proxmox virtual manager uses Facebook's zstandard compression algorithm, it's fast and it works. Can't complain.

Setting up an email server at home is almost impossible because domestic ISPs block port 25 and you need a reverse DNS to make your mail look legit. But set up a mail server on a leased VPS it's not a big deal if you know your way between SPF and dkim.

Running a legitimate mail server is hard because of SPAM, not because of corporate greed.

Excalibur remix

Wow that's exactly the one!

Fancy most of the YT videos are from 11 years ago, lol.

I remember a final fantasy AMV back in 1996 with a remix of O Fortuna that was absolutely amazing (for that era), never been able to find that video and that song again!

If you like managing games, like manage a fantasy town, or manage a gaming development software house, or an airport, or a restaurant, or a SPA, then I'd suggest Kairosoft. Their games are the last bastion of old school pixel graphics offline games with no DLC whatsoever.

Jellyfin needs apps I can install on my parent's TV, that's the only thing that keeps me on Plex.

Usenet was a hierarchical structure for what became the forums. You had a main tree and then separated branches for every argument, for example alt.sports then alt.sports.martialarts then alt.sports.martialarts.karate

Usenet was text only, very fast with old modems compared to web pages.

All the files (and piracy stuff) were relegated to alt.binaries

To this day I have still lots of "subscribe pending" in my communities options page, especially from lemmy.ml and lemmy.world

Should I try to cancel them and redo or just wait?

I was a Reddit sync user. Are you telling me there's going to be the same app for Lemmy!? And I thought I would spend less time scrolling my phone! 🤣

IRC was basically pre-everything. Before ICQ and MSN and WhatsApp and surely before telegram.

Probably only Usenet was older, if we're talking about social networking software.

I'm impressed how good is wefwef.

I've installed jerboa but I'm now considering switching again.

I distro hopped a lot since installing a retail red hat box bought at the store in 199something.

It's now more than 10 years that I basically only run Debian (on all my servers) and Gentoo/funtoo (on my workstations). For my partner and relatives, I install only Mint because it lacks all the cool gadgets, but it's stable as a rock, especially on notebooks, and still reminds them of Windows.

I tried Arch, btw. Nice wiki, horrible package management.

I tried Pop_OS, it's fun, it's fine, it's fresh, but tends to self-destruct if I push it too much.

I loved Elementary OS, it's really promising but always gave me the feeling to run a beta OS.
