What is this, Facebook forwards from babushka?

I've just finally and fully spun down a proxmox server I've been running and updating as my home lab for six years.

Every major update seemed to break something. Upgrades were always a roll of the dice as to whether it would even boot. It's probably at least partially my fault for using an old R710 and running docker directly on the OS instead of within a container, but it was still by far my least reliable piece of kit.

The last apt update removed sudo, and I can't be arsed to rebuild, so I've moved the critical bits to a fleet of SBCs. Powering that fucker down was a huge relief.

Beehaw has already chosen not to be a part of the fediverse. There's no real purpose in asking us; only you can resolve Beehaw's identity crisis.

You're right about kernel-level anticheat like Vanguard not working, but there is EAC support for Linux; see Apex Legends.

Aye

I like where this is going

Please don't feel ashamed... Intent matters a lot, and I see you and the mod team trying your ass off to do right by our community. You made a good faith effort to connect with a bad faith community and you honestly deserve props for trying.

At hexbear, anger, conspiracy, and disrespect for everyone else is the primary focus, and leftism is nothing more than the vehicle they choose to deliver it. They actively encourage trolling and discourage philisophical deviation beyond tokenism. They actually believe the CIA is out to get them. Anyone who's not with them is a dirty liberal, Nazi, going to the gulag, etc. It's exactly the same vocabulary and mindset as the conservative extremists, or even any religious cult. At best, they believe they need to fight fire with fire, when the better answer is to smother the fire with a blanket.

They could remake the world exactly the way they claim to want, but they'd still be dickheads. We're better off without them; I get the sense they're happier without us as well.

Thanks for trying, seriously. You make this instance a better place.

I would tend to agree that it's mostly just a few trolls, but that's all it takes to ruin a small platform. Social media lives and dies by moderation choices.

The moderators responsible for the users in question must either ignore or tacitly approve of keyboard warriors looking for a "dunking" crusade. Not a good look, IMO.

Some of the folks at hexbear seem legitimately cool, but a large portion of those who engage with popular posts are deliberately antagonistic, narcissistic, and exhausting.

I get that they're a large, established instance, but it's literally just where CTH went to die and ferment. The resulting sludge of stupid image shitposting and autocratic proselytizing taints the entire platform

Aye

They already provide custom images for their Jetson modules, I think more NVIDIA distros are likely to happen one way or another.

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest
