Nuppstadur Farm, Iceland

Reply in thread

@[email protected] the original wood was on the island. After it was all chopped down, driftwood became very valuable. A lot of farm fences still use driftwood to this day in Iceland. Otherwise, most lumber is imported. There's a very (very) limited "logging" industry that produces some lumber, but it isn't really at the scale that could support Iceland being self sufficient for lumber.

Project Gemini FAQ

Reply in thread

Definitely an overreaction lol.

But why are you not sold on Gemini? I mean, does it even need selling? Does Gopher need a selling point? They're both deliberately simple protocols that work basically only on text. Gemini itself was conceived as an alternative to the modern web, deliberately simple in most ways, but not as simple as Gopher.

Should I use the Linux-libre kernel or no?

If you have a wireless card (or don't need wireless) capable of working with Linux Libre, then by all means use it. There is no technological advantage to using Linux-Libre. There are principle advantages. I say this as someone who uses Linux-Libre on my Gentoo laptop (and maintains an overlay with an ebuild for Linux-Libre).
