  • Probably for the best if downvotes remain less easy to access, at the very least. There’s a myth that people who are suicidal will “find a way even if you take away some of the easier methods”, which is explicitly false. If you take away the easy option, you are directly reducing the harm that easy option might have caused. https://gizmodo.com/why-have-people-stopped-committing-suicide-with-gas-5959303

    If the admins take away the quick and easy option for seeing who downvoted your passionate comment, the mods are directly reducing the number of people who go on rants about downvotes and targeted vitriol.

    It has nothing to do with privacy; this is a public forum that by it’s very nature, requires that all activity be easily available to all the sites you federate with. There is not privacy in that.

    This is about the type of community that forms around the software. Do we want to encourage, and make easily available, the list of people who disagree with you? Or do we want to to put minor barriers around that to help keep the number of people who do that low?






  • That huge chunk of learning required for arch when you’ve never used Linux before is really hard to imagine when you have years of experience working Linux under your belt. That does not mean it doesn’t exist for new users though.

    That shit’s complex and long. Much as I appreciate the sentiment of “the distro doesn’t matter” I really can’t agree.



  • I think that if Disney was confident in whatever movie it is they’re making, they would have kept RDJ’s involvement on the down-low, to surprise the audience. Instead, they made this big hullabaloo about RDJ coming back.

    Disney famously broke the contract with Robin Williams to advertise him in Alladin. I don’t think Disney would ever keep a big stars involvement ‘on the down-low’, regardless of how confidant they are about a movies success.

    I run Debian with zfs. Really simple to set up and has been rock solid for it too. As far as I can tell all the issues I’ve had have been my fault.

    ZFS looks like it uses a lot of RAM, but you can get away without it if you need too. It’s basically extra caching. I was thrilled to use it as an excuse to upgrade my ram instead.

    Mdadm has a little more setup then zfs, as far as I’m concerned. You need to set your own scrubbing up whereas zfs schedules it’s own for you. You need to add monitoring stuff for both though.

    I’ve considered looking into the various operating systems designsd for this, but they just don’t seem to be worth the effort of switching to me.
