@Cheeseness @tulpa @Mayana I'd recommend running Gentoo on a secondary system for awhile first, since it's very different from most Linux distros. Debian's a good choice though. Might be more familiar with OpenSUSE coming from a Fedora background as well though since it forked off Redhat ages ago. I find Garuda to be somewhat exciting as well.

@abloo Reject JS, return to Hugo.

Apparently the guy who translated Isekai Tensei Soudouki on mangadex stopped doing fan translations. I found this that has a few more episodes, not sure how good of a site it is. https://isekaiscanmanga.com/manga/isekai-tensei-soudouki/

@skadi It was kind of one of the first package managers that handled retrieving all of the dependencies and such as well as it did. Back when it was released I think Redhat was just using bare rpm. It's a bit old at this point though. One of the few distros that still has its package management scheme from back when APT was released is Slackware, and pretty much all of them were similar to slackware back then.

@stuff @Moon Makes complete sense, that's why I host my Email over at Zoho instead of on prgmr. (That, and that I just don't have the time to maintain email servers myself anymore, too much work to make Google happy.)

@stuff @Moon I personally use prgmr.com, though they're much more a "treat your servers as pets not cattle" sort of host, and it is hosted in the US instead of Europe. If you need a europe VPS, you might try Gandi.

@stuff It's roughly 4 to 4.25 pounds per gallon, that range varies based on temperature. https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=W_EPLLPA_PRS_NUS_DPG&f=W This price chart is in gallons though, but its showing a lower price.

@union (So Texas is in less danger due to that, but more danger due to it having a lot of jobs. The jobs are what will attract liberals to places like that. Pretty much all of the leftists I know who went to Texas did so because they found jobs there.)

@union Colorado didn't just have a reasonably free government, we also had Skiing and a lot of crunchy hippie recreational activities here. Hiking, jeeping, etc. A fair bit of our migration wasn't the conservatives fleeing, but liberals looking to go to a place that had more of their hobbies.

@penguin42 @pro Yeah, Electroboom showed that in one of his videos, but it's a bit dangerous.

@pro @penguin42 You get 220-230v in houses because it's basically pulling off both taps of the transformer, while the 110-115v pull from one tap, and the center tap. The only places you get 208v is when you're in apartments and you're instead pulling off two different phases of the electric grid. You should be able to get an electrician to install an outlet for 230v, but it takes two slots in your breaker box. (Breaker boxes alternate ends of the transformer.)

@pro @Moon Until they make it so that you can just grab a generic ARM linux install disk and make it work on every ARM system, they're definitely not going to make a dent either. This BS of having a different installer image for every darn piece of hardware is garbage.

re: Thoughts about guns
@strawberryfieldsforever @vital876 @ghost_bird @Simplicity_teal I used to live in a country where there were "none having guns". It was a dystopian nightmare, the street crime was out of control. One time I walked home from a bus stop (public transit: another dystopian nightmare), and they've beaten me up and took my wedding ring, because I had nothing else. They attacked me because I had an empty cardboard box that I took from work. Another ttime they attacked me because I was wearing a jacket that was too good (I escaped by a miracle, my clothes were soaked in blood). Etc. etc. American is a million times safer with all the guns. People who think that no guns leads to paradise like in Japan have no clue. U.S. is not populated by the Japanese.

@pro Yeah, a lot of python has gotten a bit silly about that since the whole "lets build everything with Pandas!" trend started. Just noting that using C++ written libraries wasn't the only way to avoid the cost of python language for loops. Really it's the cost of the interpreter loop itself, and a for loop just means you're doing lots of interpreter loops. If you're trying to either transform a list, or extract parts out of a list, a list comprehension is far better than a for.

@deprecated_ii Heh. I agree that for loops are slow, but using the batteries isn't always the solution. Another solution is List and Dictionary Comprehensions. Written correctly, those will take a single loop of the interpreter, while a for loop will take many loops of the interpreter.

https://returnyoutubedislike.com/ This is one of those instances of the internet treating censorship as damage, and routing around it. Apparently it will now collect any time someone using the extension dislikes a video, and will share it via the extension's servers.

@zaitcev Ahh, I'll have to hold off on updating. I'm still a few versions back.

@nik @Terry Ahh, I see. I thought it was a link to facebook with the id because it didn't load the entire history when I clicked on it. Now that it's going back to the first link, I see it's a link to a non-facebook site.

@nik @Terry Unfortunately, if you remove the tracking parameter, the facebook link stops working. It's one of the few sites where that's true. You basically have to take a screenshot, paste it to a third party site, then share that instead.
