Lol, of course Lemmy posts this picture.

How the hell would one define "making the world a better place?’ 😂

Nextcloud notes. They’ll sync as text filed between your devices. You can use markdown, and they have a mobile app.

Fascinating. The more ya know.

Man, I have lived in Europe for the past 11 years and have yet to meet anyone who has used them or commented on them. I know someone who went on vacation to the US and took an overnight Amtrak for fun.

I’m sure they exist but really, people fly on longer voyages. Bullet trains may be changing that. A Madrid->Paris line will open soon that’ll do it in 5 hours. Which gets close to the speed of a plane when airport security and the like is taken into account and should give much more comfort.

That’s basically what the market does.

No worries. Un-downvoted.

The key thought there is “whether society likes it or not”, not that the government implements a public transport system.

Whether society wants it or not? Quite, um, authoritarian if I do say so, sir.

I don’t know. Plenty if other groups arrived much later in western countries, often with little or nothing to their names and feeling persecution, and have done much much better.

I’ll give you that the specter of discrimination still haunted western institutions until quite recently. But blacks were not the only group that faced discrimination.

They’re not.

Yeah but the majority of bots out there are going after easy prey. Honestly, if you use public key authentication with ssh you should be fine, even if it is on port 22. But it does of course clog up access logs.

Https and a server. If hosting at home just leave a high numbered port open. If on a vps then you should be able to use any port you want.

Oh they’re just making a general point.

My gf did ask me why there wasn’t an “exe” on my linux system though. But that’s another story.

California is an absolutely beautiful state. Its natural beauty and geography are spectacular.

But it’s crazy expensive, Californians are annoying and elitist, and has big social problems in its cities.

I’ve managed to do it for my personal email and find it very rewarding. Sadly, I could never use it for my business. It’s just too risky and there may always be a few delivery problems here and there.

VPS hosting, BTW, not home.

Call me antiquated, but I still don’t love Rust for these reasons. I don’t dislike it, and I recognize it solves some very real problems around memory management. Whether I like it or not it is probably the future… But Cargo is incredibly opinionated, essentially obligatory, the compiler is huge…

It’s not something you could bootstrap on a glorified microcontroller running MINIX or something. I’ll just say that. And that’s something I really really love about C.

Frankly the only thing I’d save in Google Docs are encrypted archives. Otherwise they’ll profile the documents to send ads to you. But it is a good back up in case lightning strikes your home or something.

Yes. Agreed.

I don’t own a car and don’t want to, but I do rent one once in a while.

Efficiency is not the objective. In fact, were all energy and materials used in making and powering cars from relatively renewable sources, it wouldn’t be a problem. I am aware they’re not. All else being equal, efficiency is a worthwhile goal. But the tradeoff for inefficiency here is the freedom to go where you want when you want.

There are places here in Europe, contrary to what some people in this community might claim, that simply cannot be accessed by train. Smaller villages and the like.

Access to a car is useful. Ownership might not be unless you live there. But cars have their place.
