I don’t blame the historians anymore, I blame the societies they published their work in.

Imagine telling Victorian era people about South East Asian queerness. They’d have you hanged just for describing what you saw.

You can get a soil moisture meter for $12.99 on Amazon.

The trick with humour is it has to not be as dry as my mother’s cunt.

At least give us a “/s” so there’s no doubt bro.

“Yeah and houses were 1/20th of what they are now. Sit down and shut up grandma, you stupid old racist cunt.”

Ah, I see they’re catering to my ex’s needs. I’m glad someone is!

Why is LinkedIn not on there? Or does that count as an auto immune disease?

I heard the new 2025 model wallops you in the bollocks every time you pull the parking brake.

It’s all about the nuances… baby boomers as a cohort are responsible for many of today’s problems and yet individual boomers are not. The elderly get roped into the defence of boomers even though there’s plenty of older people than them that actually helped setup the prosperity that boomers ruined.

Karens are frustrating and their voices are loud, but to even compare them to predator class humans like billionaires or rapists is waay out of touch.

It’s really demoralising scraping by as an IT person in a western democracy, and then realising the outsource contractors your company hired for cheaper have a much better life than you. Simply because their earnings hold up better with the cost of living where they are.

Yeah and they grew up in a mansion in Argentina, or Cape Town, for “the climate”…

I’m hoping community efforts are able to fill the void. I fear having to do this all myself and becoming some kind of Mad Max style tinkerer after the fall…

Old phones daisy changed together to act as a server… The remnants of StarLink for internet, getting nazi/rape threats from the remaining social media AI that live in all the satellites…

It would be nice if government backed up Wikipedia and SO. But considering they don’t give a shit about Linux which is arguably one of the most vital technical infrastructure projects of our lifetime…

I was referring to the file size being the barrier. The 2024 large database size of 202GB is prohibitive for the average person’s resource capabilities. i.e. I have a home VPS host and I don’t even have that much free space. Your cloud operating costs would also go up with the storage and bandwidth use.

There’s also two separate issues I was kinda mixing up. I’m a developer who uses StackOverflow and would like to use a resource that is readily available. I think it’d take a few hours to setup even a smaller copy of SO, which isn’t ideal for answering a quick question. I also don’t want to setup a whole mirror site with custom work just for myself and because I’m paranoid Microsoft miight buy them and paywall SO overnight or something.

I’ve looked into this but they aren’t exactly small, it’s not a straightforward operation for even the average developer or systems engineer to restore these into a working format.

I was thinking we need something along the lines of a read only public mirror run by the proper open source community - e.g. SourceForge or a major Linux project… ISP’s and universities offer mirrors of Linux packages so this could be a resource offered in the same vein. That’s my line of thinking as far as a StackOverflow mirror goes anyway!

Is there a mirror for Stacks content? I’ve been concerned for some time that they are a vital resource that a corporation could ruin at any moment.

Tim Cook is hoping to be spared when Trump starts purging gay people.

I’m configuring my new Linux desktop as a Christmas vacation treat for myself :D

Forgot how much fun customising small things like icons and sounds was - takes me back to the old days of theming Windows 98 and XP. My spouse is judging my questionable sound effect choices but IDFC it’s fun!
