I can feel that panic and relief

No, but there will be recordings (ugh, hah). Actually had enough interest from those that missed it that I’m doing the session again tomorrow.

A single user Lemmy instance is pretty low overhead if you don’t mind the All feed being the same as your Subscriptions feed.

Great, for me. For others, I imagine it will depend on factors such as having a compatible partner in agreement.

I’m betting on the Fediverse, just like I did on Reddit all those years ago.

But, you are currently in a hype machine since you are on Lemmy. As someone who develops with ActivityPub now, there is not a big market for it at the moment.

I expect it will grow, especially as identity management standardizes (I’m actually presenting about this at a conference a bit later today), but it will likely take time.

New skills? I spend my free time contributing to FOSS projects to pick up new things, or learning CAD, or soldering, on and on. Always been pretty good at filling my time, just need to learn the relaxing part.

Ice. As time has gone by, it has become less cool.

We may have some differences, while close to the same age, I am extremely outdoors and active, constantly building something tech (not bleeding edge) or non-tech, and completely fill my time or I get ansy. So in that way I’m more like the Branson’s but overall my mentality towards “not caring” matches yours to a tee.

The skill of being able to identify what’s important in the moment and recognizing “this won’t matter in 6 months” is a learned talent I wish I could give others. I sometimes feel like it may dampen my excitement for things, being the inverse, but so far that has never really been deterrent for me…

Ever read a comment and think to yourself, “You are me, and I am you.”?

I have never felt this way. Part of it’s luck, but even hard stuff I feel like has made me a better person, and happier for it.

Yea, feels like an excuse for lack of spontinaity. Not judging OP, could be depression or any such thing, but these are two independent variables.

Oh totally missed that. Nice!

Love the proactiveness, great to see!

May I make one suggestion for your standard response? One of the things many of us hated about Reddit was the removal of third-party apps. Having an ecosystem of great ones, be they Voyager, Thunder, Sync, etc, is a fantastic benefit over Reddit.

Perhaps use that fact, and then provide your preference? Makes me wonder if there is a central list of apps anywhere, actually…

Yup. LUKS with LVM from the installer. Guided partitioning did try to set swap to 1GB, so I deleted both logical volumes (root and swap) in the guided installer to make swap 16GB. After install it was just like a non-LUKS setup, only having to set RESUME. It was very refreshing consider previous hoops I’ve jumped through.

I just found if you install Debian 12 and make the LVM swap partition the size of RAM, you can finally enable hibernate to encrypted swap without craziness during install. It was a breath of fresh air.

Is there any way to see older data?

This is pretty common in most blue states.

Yea, that “enjoyed” had me till reading this.

Since when is “atleast” a word?

Until out of habit you rub your eye with your knuckle. Doh!
