Unless war were declared…

I just started mead brewing about 6ish months ago it seemed easier than brewing beer and wine just didn’t have the same appeal. Plus I just really needed a non-tech hobby. 😅

So far LOVING it! My brews have been fermenting super quick (usually about a week but sometimes 2) and have been more than drinkable after a month. :)

You see this in other industries as well. I think every business just wants to be Walmart and an airline at the same time.

Then they would be selling literally everything, no one would shop anywhere else and their prices would adjust automagiclly based on the size of your wallet.

Yes and no. They seem to prioritize stability and security over everything else. So they usually only push updates to the stable repo if it doesn’t compromise those 2 points (so new features are okay but so long as they don’t create new instability or at the very least fix a security flaw).

So in other words nothing there is particularly ancient but most things are several versions behind just due to bugs being found etc. Great for servers but on a desktop most people wouldn’t notice these kind of bugs so they tend to get pushed in other distro’s a lot sooner.

Servers: Debian Stable no DE

Desktop: Pop OS or Ubuntu

I’ve used everything from Arch and Gentoo to fedora and Ubuntu. But I found myself enjoying the stability of Debian but hating the lack of newer packages. The latter of which isnt usually a problem when it comes to single purpose servers.

Fellow Apachian! It’s how I learned how to make a reverse proxy initially and just never saw the point in learning something else (though to be fair haven’t had to make a reverse proxy recently).
