I'll be the first to admit that I'm not following every nuance about the deportations - but can someone point me in the direction to understand why El Salvador? Why there?

Kinda. We have a bunch of small instances each with its own set of rules/norms. Lemmy.ml for example is not going to take a very different approach to moderation then lemmynsfw...

I've found there are two types of "leaders". One are the people you describe, the others are knowledgeable staff who somehow ended up in management at one point and realized they had to stay less the idiots take over.

One also calls themselves "thought leaders" while the other group is still working at 8pm.

It takes 5 mins to install and a few weeks to get comfortable using it. Then you wonder how you ever lived without it.

I or others can go into more detail, but I'm guessing you do not want a super in depth answer?

One of the major cloud providers (aka renting a chunk of a data center) has a outage in the us-east-1 region. Because of internal dependencies on us-east-1, when that AWS region (aka data center) has problems it impacts service's across all AWS regions. To end users, suddenly web sites will act strange, crash, or just not work as elements of their backend are having problems. Due to the raw size of AWS, when something like this happens vast swaths of the web will break.

Also...

1. everything is changeable. But not everything should be changed.
2. There will come a time when you need to interact with the command line. This is expected, and no you did not do something wrong.
3. Have fun.

Oh if your looking for a distro? Mint is a great entry point (and even can support crusty old graybeards as well).

I'm a senior IT type. My work laptop is Debian.

We like good pastries, coffee, good booze and feeling appreciated. Go make friends with the senior IT types and the help desk manager. Trust me it's with it.

Aw. I did not realize Bukele was also authoritarian. That was the missing part.

Thanks!

Odds are security is not able to fight this fight.

The MSA with Microsoft will say something along the lines of data will not leave the corporate boundary. And that will be sufficient - because Microsoft has assumed the risk.

For highly technical users containers are going to do everything we need.

For non technical users who need separation, profiles are a standard known framework.

See I just like LMDE. Everything works without fiddling (I want my OS to be boring). And if I feel spicy - backports.

There is a Cascadia Independence movement but it's not widely talked about.

Now I have this image in my head of a cybertruck rolling coal.

Not op but I'll do stuff from time to time that is well below my pay grade. Mind management understands that the pay difference and that I'm not doing my normal responsibilities if I'm helping out...

There is an enterprise storage shelf (aka a bunch of drives that hooks up to a server) made by Dell which is 1.2 PB (yes petabytes). So there is a use, but it's not for consumers.

And you might never. But lemmynsfw is a porn instance whereas .ml is not. Hence different goals for moderation.

Depends on seat count. But even a "small" (the smallest bucket of seats is 500) on prem install of data center/confluence can be in 6 figures...

Hell. Don't take the whole thing. Just move the boarder to the 45th parallel as opposed to the 49th.

Trillium Next: The last note taking software you will ever need. It works as a standalone, or in a client/server configuration across almost all platforms.
