after system five was always written in roman letter system V it can only mean
system 500 ( due to 500 services for the smalles Linux ever). However 500 by the romans was a D ( surprised?)

I always assume it was a French reference. "Système D" means that you make it as you can.

D is for "débrouille" implying lake of means and not the best results but a lot of ingeniosity (is it a word? Smart hacks) in the process.

I've been using recoll for years for fulltext search, but it's good to check alternatives from time to time

in reply to It's FOSS

Still using man pages? There’s a better way.

Yay! My #Mastodon trifecta is now complete! My blue & orange (is it orange‽) #Plushtodon came in last night, & I opened it yesterday, but I was too tired to post about it as I just got off work.

But yes, I am excited that the two smaller Plushes arrived! Thanks @Mastodon for creating these!

Also…we need more #ActivityPub apps to create real world wearables or plushies, as they are great conversation starters for folks who are not familiar with the #Fediverse.
