A cool guide for Cost by Protein Source
  • You must have triggered some vegan to get a downvote. Yeah you need the 9 essential amino acids in your diet as your body can't synthesize them. They're called essential for a reason.

  • what linux OS should I install on a backup notebook if my main one is debian?
  • The specific distro doesn't really matter. What matters is package choice (being able to do the few things you listed with the apps you would like to use). I guess if you're among the Debian evangelists you probably value stability more than any other consideration. Just pick some server distro or Debian again.

  • At least 33 Canadian churches have burned to the ground since May 2021. Only 2 were accidents
  • While I understand the anger at the residential system I wouldn't go and burn the buildings down. My mom is a residential school survivor and I'm sure it was a significant factor that affected that side of my family in various (negative) ways. I still wouldn't go and burn down the church.

  • (15th of Dec) Element Discontinuing Hosted Matrix for Consumers
  • Big deal, just self host in a VPS if you're willing to pay $$$.

    Don't make the mistake though of self hosting (Dendrite) as it will just choke, in my case it was a single user instance subscribed to only a handful of channels but apparently that was too much for my server to load messages in any manner that would be considered quick.

    I've self hosted several services at once on there but apparently Matrix is just too heavy too handle compared to other things.

  • Matrix clients for decentralized messaging
  • I got a small team in school to all adopt my self hosted Matrix as a chat solution for a project we were working on throughout the year. It was great. Everyone jumped back to Discord after we graduated though.

  • The wageslave
  • This pretty much nails where I was in my previous job, where I was for years. In a better place now because I went back to school and got a different much better job (easier in a lot of ways, and much better pay and opportunities). I had to dig myself out of my wage-slavery and it took some time and dedication. I still think about the next paycheck but the stress is much lower now.

  • Are we defederating from Threads?
  • Yes. What they specifically did though was extend the protocol so that anyone who wasn't using their version of XMPP via Google Talk would be incompatible or seem "broken" when it really wasn't. It's just that they were using non-standard features, both incentivizing people to just switch to Google Talk and for development on the core protocol to slow down.

    I bet money Threads is going to do the same thing. They'll introduce Threads only features that don't work with all the standard Activitypub implementations, causing frustration with Thread users and putting pressure on people to just jump ship to Threads from standard Activitypub implementations.

  • No Edmonton Community Yet?

    The Edmonton subreddit is a huge and active one. I'm surprised there isn't a community here yet for it, especially after seeing several other city communities such as Calgary and Lethbridge.
