You just crushed my soul again.

You're changing the environment to favour your fight. I agree with you, 90% of the times in servers space, Linux works better.

I don't want to argue with you, because your thoughts are right and you raise valid good points when interacting on social media.

But just to add something, I didn't say he's a bad person, I have no clue about that, I did say he's a bad IT person. In other words, not qualifies for the role, if I can have an opinion on that.

I support the right tool for the right task, I'm not a company cultist, I'm sure Apple is as fucked up as Microsoft, I believe you. But I don't care.

I have 20 years of experience in Linux. I'm not the average "I'm using Arch btw" Linux user. I managed several services at work with Linux and have a homelab at home.

If I wasn't a PC gamer, Windows was gone from my house. That's how I prefer Linux.

Having said that, your statement is objectively wrong.

No offence but you're a bad it person if you really think like that.

I love to suggest Apple products to my relatives, because they're too dumb and I don't have to give technical support, lol.

I get the joke, but lots of people, me included, start to understand why people pay so much for a Mac. It's not the hardware, it's not having to deal with Windows.

Americans are asleep, post European windows in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

You know that tool called stud finder that you use in America if you ever think about hanging a picture on the wall, or a TV, otherwise you risk your wall falling down with anything attached to it?

Never seen a stud finder in Europe.

The amount of energy wasted in America for all the houses with AC they have, could have propelled an entire society to Mars.

With dos 5.x I started creating some fancy auroexec menu at boot that switches between several configurations depending if I wanted to run windows, need a lot of xms or a big chunk of Ems (640k was NOT enough for everything).

It was somehow fun.

But at least, if something is not working, it was entirely your fault. Now? It's probably windows update who fucked up something you desperately need right now.

Swiss copyright law: what can and can’t I download? (www.digitec.ch)
 

In some European countries, the authorities are taking rigorous action against film and music piracy. Even downloading a single file can lead to fines, criminal proceedings and warnings.

In Switzerland, the legal situation is somewhat different. Here, you can download or stream certain content from the internet without paying for it under certain circumstances.

line 32: found character that cannot start any token (lemm.ee)
 

Today, I tried (again) to install lemmy on my linux server. I tried in the past but the documentation was so lacking that I only encountered errors after errors just following exactly every command.

Today I tried again, using the Docker method, I correctly downloaded all the files, but as soon as I run "docker compose up" I get the error "/lemmy/docker-compose.yml: yaml: line 32: found character that cannot start any token"

That's usually a common error if the yaml file contains TABs instead of spaces, but it's not the case here.

So, again I'm lost and I'm looking for someone here that can bring me some light on the issue, it would be very appreciated.

Is Linus Tech Tips “Stubby” Screwdriver Best? Let's Settle This! (www.youtube.com)
 

According to this third party reviewer, the LTT stubby is as good as the PB Swiss (considered one of the best tool makers and I agree) and also $20 cheaper.

Even the Swiss giant Digitec posted an article about the state of LTT (www.digitec.ch)
 

Digitec is considered the "Amazon of Switzerland", is the most popular online shop for technology with decent prices, but also often posts articles, reviews and previews. It helps since Amazon doesn't exist in Switzerland (Swiss people often buy from Amazon German or Amazon Italy).

I honestly didn't expect the LTT news to reach such mainstream news.

build lemmy (from scratch) on debian (lemm.ee)
 

Hi, if you're trying to build lemmy from scratch, on debian (not ubuntu), and you're following this guide: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/from_scratch.html

There are a few corrections I would like to point you.

Install those two things before following the guide:

apt install sudo

Of course, 'sudo' is not installed by default on Debian, so I guess it would be a good idea to install it.

sudo apt install build-essential

This will install the 'cc' compiler needed by Rust.

sudo apt install protobuf-c-compiler protobuf-compiler

This is needed to compile opentelemetry-proto.
