A truly ignorant, judgmental, and narrowminded take.

Like all things Lemmy, I’m pretty sure there were some pretty obscure NSFW stuff posted in niche communities.

Nutanix…oof. I deal with them every day. It isn’t their fault their shit can’t handle what we do, but it is their sales folk that constantly lie and misrepresent.

Wanna know one of rhe big reasons people hate Oracle so much? It’s their sales guys. They are awful. If that guy went from Oracle to Nutanix, that tells me that I cannot trust a single syllable out of their mouth.

Hatred of Oracle predates “cancelling” by decades. Oracle is and has always been one of, if not the most disgusting and vicious companies in tech. They kill everything they touch.

If you need a political component, then Oracle = Larry Ellison, but Oracle hate predates and supercedes the American political slide into fascism.

MySQL belongs to Oracle. That’s literally all you need to.know in order to avoid it.

This community is about discussion about the Fediverse. This is equivalent to you posting this in a sub about PC repair or plumbing.

100%, but OP said he was a complete noob. Given that they only have 4GB of RAM on an older computer, I suggested Lubuntu. But yes, no DE is best if they can manage it.

Another choice is Lubuntu, a lightweight and fast variant of Ubuntu, so the Ubuntu instructions you find online should still work.

I’ve been meaning to switch from Tailscale to Headscale but I have been to busy. Do you have any instructions, write-ups/walk-thrus you could recommend to set this up? I have three sites with 1GB internet I can use. One has a whole house UPS but dynamic IP, another has a static IP but no UPS, and the third is Google fiber with no UPS, but I can use the app to get the current IP anytime. I also own a number of domain names I could use.

They do.

Instead of bookmarks I use the “share to Standard Notes” option. It names the note after the link, saves the link, allows you to write a summary or tags, and makes it all searchable so it is findable later rather than disappearing like a needle in a haystack.

Why are you using Grindr Classic for search?

I have been on it for about a year and I have no complaints.

What non-american search engine do you use?

(I loved the Google Music recommendation engine, RIP)

This will never cease to sting. Google Play Music was so good.

…open-source advocates from places like Bluesky, Threads…

WHAT?!?

Honestly, it sounds like the best idea is to run your own instance. You can do it off of old, trash hardware.

You can pay to get into communick.news or start your own instance.

Personally, I’d like to see how far the post will spread.
