I don’t think “mods per user” is that important of a metric. “Mods per daily/weekly/monthly post/comment” is a more useful gauge of a community’s activity.

Even then, there’s a warning that the upgrade process can take several hours. Even if it’s largely hands off, that’s not exactly my image of an easy upgrade.

Specifically upgrading major versions. See the official documentation for upgrading Debian 11 to 12. It’s far more involved than minor version upgrades.

Here’s the official documentation for upgrading from Debian 11 to 12. The TL;DR is that it takes 8 chapters to describe the process.

The problem is when it comes time for a major version upgrade. Debian 12.10.0 to 12.11.0 probably won’t be a big deal. But upgrading from Debian 11 to 12 was a pain. Debian 12 to 13 will probably be a pain as well.

The thing with Debian is that yes, it’s the most stable distro family, but stable != “just works”, especially when talking about a PC and not a server (as a PC is more likely to need additional hardware drivers). Furthermore, when the time comes that you DO want to upgrade Debian to a newer version, it’s one of the more painful distros to do so.

I think fedora is a good compromise there. It’s unstable compared to RHEL, but it’s generally well-vetted and won’t cause a serious headache once every few years like Debian.

Open AI kind of is a nonprofit. It’s a nonprofit entity owned by a for profit entity, which is fucky and defeats the purpose, but that’s an argument you’ll see people make.

TempleOS is legit super impressive, it’s a shame the dude was pretty much insane but also that’s probably what it takes to code an entire OS from scratch entirely by yourself.

The short answer is: Apple collects much of the same data as any other modern tech composite, but their “walled garden” strategy means that for the most part only THEY have access to that info.

It’s technically lower risk since fewer parties have access to the data, but philosophically just about equally as bad because they aren’t doing this out of any real love for privacy (despite what their marketing department might claim)

The thing with Debian distros (like Ubuntu, Mint, PopOS) is that they’re extremely stable releases. This does not necessarily mean everything “just works”, but rather that they will not experience major code changes that could disrupt a working system. This means that if some apps don’t work out of the box, that state is going to be pretty much the same in any distro based on the same Debian version.

A more “agile” distro might be less stable, but as a result could see some updates to apps that Debian is still lagging behind on. Fedora is probably the “next step” in this direction: it’s still reliable but gets updates more frequently than Debian (it’s sort of a “proving ground” for code before it gets pulled into Red Hat, which is a distro focused on long-term stability).

As for desktop environments: I’ve always thought GNOME was the most Mac-like DE, but KDE has enough configuration options that you can kind of turn it into anything you want. Since this is on a very old laptop, you might consider LXDE, which isn’t the prettiest DE, but it’s super lightweight and might let you squeeze out a bit more performance if you’re wasting a lot of compute power just rendering the desktop.

Even wearing super cyclical goggles, it doesn’t make sense for reddit to intervene here. Twitter is a competitor, why would they want to encourage people to link to a competitor?

4. Yes, portainer will see every container you make, regardless of how it was created.

5. No, creating a docker container doesn’t make a compose file. It’s like cooking a meal doesn’t output a recipe.

6. You can save the compose file(s) wherever you want, you just need to run “docker compose up” from that directory. If you make the container within portainer, I believe it stores the compose files in its own volume. Not sure about that, I keep my compose file separate from portainer for most services.

Around 60% of 8-digit strings appear in the digits their algorithm knows about, according to the website. So I figured it’s not THAT identifying.

My birthday in American MMDDYYYY format shows up in the first few ten-million digits, but in standard DDMMYYYY format, it’s not in any of the digits that site is able to check.

That would be FMLA

I’m with you about not anthropomorphizing faceless companies as the bad actors here, but also I really doubt the CEO was the one who enacted this decision. It probably came from some middle manger who clicked “yes” on some report they didn’t actually read.

If a company is going bankrupt as a result of hosting a video service, they’re not going to be able to afford to archive and make it available for download either.
