I was running LiteStep on Windows at the time, but wanted something more OSX like, ended up coming across Mandrake/Mandriva. Which led me to Slackware, which at the time was considered the ‘IUseArchBTW’ version of Linux.

Since then I’ve tried just about everything, the only real constant has been Debian. Every server I spin up is Debian based and has been since the early 00s.

Elon didn’t need any extra help running Twitter into the ground, but it’s already too late to put the genie back in the bottle, Threads is already going to take over, and it’s honestly 1 solid update with added features away from absolutely decimating Twitter.

I would’ve preferred more people migrate to Mastadon, but that’s over, any momentum that may have had will be sucked away by Threads until they screw up, hopefully by then Mastadon will be in a better position to capitalize on user dissent.

I previously used NPM, it was easy to use and simple, but more robust stuff had to be done in the config area. I ended up having to edit configs more often than not in the end, so I switched to Traefik so now I just drop some extra blocks of text directly in my compose files and it just handles it.

Try Kaizoku, it’s what I’ve been using for a while.

You can rationalize it all you want, at the end of the day when you say crackpipe there’s only one thing that comes to mind.

I’m just imaging a conversation at work talking about a new game, and someone saying they haven’t picked it up yet and a colleague overhearing their co-worker say “just hit the crackpipe”.
