Did some digging and as far as I can tell this is from https://akamavarii.tumblr.com/post/719124314440499200/pride-posyums
They're adorable.
I mean, we came from banging rocks together to making those rocks think for us. Our entire modern world is so far divorced from ancient humanity it's hard to list all the individual accomplishments. Recently though has been the electrical grid, global logistics chains and the internet. In these times of medical doomerism, it's also important to remember that we banded together killed smallpox.
Sending memes back and forth is a love language.
It was working in Firefox and I happened to have a VPN running in it, so that might be messing with my DNS such that the cache was different. Hopefully all fixed now though.
Compared to other platforms, they have a lot of good features and generally act in the public interest.
In regards to their DRM system, honestly some people are going to add DRM to their games no matter what. I'd much rather they use Valve's system than some insecure third party spyware.
People have also mentioned their 30% cut which honestly seems pretty normal for an online storefront. It's especially fair when you consider the fact that they provide marketing, hosting and payment processing for you. Not to mention things like achievements, matchmaking and workshop support if you want it.
There's also the fact that a lot of the anti-monopoly folks tend to be Linux and/or foss advocates, and Valve has been pumping a lot of resources into open source projects.
Honestly, in the Linux space, the only reason Valve has a monopoly is because the other players just aren't making any effort to compete.
Tl;dr Valve uses their market position for good (in general) and Steam is a good product.
Trying to get a clean home directory by trying to get apps to follow xdg and put config files in .config.
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/ Is working for me, and they seem to have a post from 2 hours ago. Maybe just a temporary hiccup.
EDIT: Tried it in another browser, and it doesn't seem to work. DNS seems to resolve to 825610.parkingcrew.net. so maybe something happened with their DNS records.
Daily backups here. Storage is cheap. Losing data is not.
Here everyone under 22 gets a free bus pass as well. I think it's a great idea.
I'm in the UK and that bill has caused me so much stress and anxiety. ;_;
In regards to full system backups, there's no real need to back up the OS itself. Canonical will give you a clean Ubuntu install if you ask then nice enough, after all. Personally, the risk of having to spend an afternoon reconfiguring my system isn't that big a deal compared to the storage and time needed to back up an entire image.
I know systems generate a lot of "cruft" in terms of instslled programs and tweaked configurations over time which can be hard to keep track of and remember. But imo that should be avoided at all costs because it leads to compatibility and security issues.
For backing up databases, there's scripts like automysqlbackup and pg_dump which will export a database to an sql file which can be easily backed up without worrying about copying a broken file.
I actually recently set up borgmatic earlier today and I'd recommend it except for the fact that you seem to be using Docker, and I'm not sure how best to backup containers.
