@clacke Might make right with english eh? As soon as enough people use a word or spell in a certain way, it becomes 'proper english'. On the one hand, english is so terrible, b/c it has no rules worthy of the name. On the other hand, you can mangle it very badly and still be understood. -> English doesn't "borrow" from other languages: it follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar and valuable vocabulary. :-)
@snowdusk well, well! No i didn't ! :-) Thanks snowy! Some of the first things i install are iotop, iftop, htop, iptraf... btop is very pretty though! :-)
@clacke No, just neutral really. Banana is a unique flavour. When I was 13 I went commercial fishing for salmon in the summer. The captain thought we should have pancakes 2-3 times a week. Topped with a thick layer of peanutbutter, sliced bananas and drowned in real maple syrup from Québec. I agreed :-)
@clacke Not so bland. I'm just not big on bananas. You'd be surprised at the range of flavours I stuff into this maw - I'm allergic to nothing and I like everything! :-) On the one hand, my childhood sucked a bit, on the other I had from indian to ukrainian foster parents and plenty of chinese and greek on the side, so I got exposed to plenty of foods to keep me happy :-)
@clacke I've been in fedi since 2017, but manga was no stranger to me before that - I'm just not into it. One of my kids is deep into it. And a grandkid.
@clacke Remember we were talking about surnames a few months ago. Like when it wasn't obvious as with e.g. wang or lee? Clearly, it's more important in your life than mine over here and north of Richmond, but I saw this on HN a day or so ago, thought of you and forgot to post. It goes by country and some areas of india (yes, why be consistent! :-) ) and also sri lanka are quite interesting for name order. https://www.asiamediacentre.org.nz/features/a-guide-to-using-asian-names/

I saw a great little poster early this morning from @MMRnmd ,so I boosted it, but the people I know in real life (like my friend and boss) can't read french. Also, I'm really tired of trying to get across how this works with him! I don't need to convince people like you lot who either do read french and/or know how this works already. Really, I loved the imagery of the dominoes, because the steps taken are always the same in my experience, both where I have lived and looking out at the world. Here are the original and then my effort. I did vary the text a bit in english, even between when I made my notes and when I made (ahem) plagiarized the graphic.
@tilvids It's up again now https://tilvids.com/ It's unusual for contabo to be down. I am in both munich and nuremberg for over a decade now with them. Is Dusseldorf one of their very new ones? They seem to be building out very quickly these days; maybe too quickly. I hope this is not a sign of the future with them :-(
@tilvids I really hope it's just that one DC. Contabo is the best deal I can find and I do check at least once a year to see if e.g. DO or Heisner are offering anything close. When people ask in fedi I always mention pricing and uptime. I really hate installing a new server. I like to leave them fairly alone for years after I get them locked down. I guess i could traceroute - they do have DCs all over the world these days. Nope. Seems well connected. IDK.
Just thinking now, most of my news, music and learning comes from GNU/OSS. I don't listen to or watch commercials. This is entirely different from when I was a child. Corporate media is now strange to me. I still see its output sometimes, but it is curated for me by all y'all :-) Anon radio, hacker news...
