I am a man that likes UNIX. I am a security-minded person (paranoid to your average normie), with great ambitions about the future of the world. It is pleasant to meet you all, god bless!

  • I think I left Google just in the nick of time.
    

    My Google usage has stopped entirely (exept through alt frontends), and I also deleted my Google account. They will continue to promote their needless services, and even shove it down your throats. I wish good luck for us all, since Google will most likely continue to do this, and attempt to enact further restrictions upon the internet.








  • If you are willing to abandon Linux, I would suggest FreeBSD for general purpose servers.

    It is a full operating system, which starts you off with a CLI, that is easy to configure. There is a full handbook that describes the full process, and it is on their website. FreeBSD is an operating system, rather than a distribution of cobbled together packages. Due to this, operating system binaries, and package binaries, are separated. This makes configuration on the OS level consistent.

    A lot of Linux programs come from the BSD family. FreeBSD also has its own hypervisor, named Bhyve. FreeBSD has its own version of Docker as well, they are called jails. It might take some time to learn, but I promise it will be worth the time.







  • Who doesn’t like compounding two words with different meaning by definition, but for some inexpiable reason have the same meaning in the programming world, by shortening them?

    Now the poor, average programmer has to deal with strange words. One such example is “permission,” which is normally used within a casual context, rather then within a more serious context, like a program handling secure data. The poor programmer can now no longer take his job seriously, and is now forever in an existential crisis, due to the lack of formality. ;)
