Was my thought too, but it has a lot of vitamins in tiny amounts that could make the effort worthwhile.

You could learn the topics covered by a recognized certification like RHCSA / LFCS. No need to actually get the certification if you don't feel like it, but look at the subjects covered and learn that stuff. That should give you a good foundation.

Yeah, seems like too few words for an actual rant. Smoke bomb to distract from his ridiculous debate and to get that out of the news cycle

Seriously though, trying to understand a detail about how this all works (anyone free to answer). Does each additional user to a smaller instance indirectly help flesh out the available content on that user's instance?

As in, more total users -> more total community/magazine subs by those users --> more federated content becomes visible to the instance's newest joiners after that?

Unless I'm misunderstanding how it works. If that's correct, then the benefit of each additional user would be most visible the fewer the instance's current users, and then eventually level out as more users join and the most popular remote communities/magazines are subbed by local users.

I mention this because I've occasionally browsed other instances during brief outages on my home instance. At those times I noticed that while the default feeds (not logged in) across instances looked mostly the same, some of the smaller ones were missing some fun/interesting magazines that the others were showing.

P.S. I don't think this was due to defederations but who knows.

Well there's no way they didn't know what to expect!

But I want exactly one unit!

I read a while ago that humans probably have ants out-chonked since some time ago when we started gaining weight as a population.

Had to check back on this since that little factoid has stuck with me since reading it.

Per this journal from 2022, https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2201550119

Integrating data from all continents and major biomes, we conservatively estimate 20 × 1015 (20 quadrillion) ants on Earth, with a total biomass of 12 megatons of dry carbon. This exceeds the combined biomass of wild birds and mammals and equals 20% of human biomass.

Because if there's anything worth getting scientific about, it's us vs the ant horde. Suck it, ants!

at least it's not "moist"
