The real story behind Windows outage 🤣

Using #Windows for a couple of minutes DRAMATICALLY boosts my joy of using #Linux. 😅

Those are some closed-source folks you know. 😠

Sad reality 😥

I'm torn.

On one hand, a sudden blue screen is instantly recognizable by now as meaning the system is kaput. #Windows has made it quite infamous.

On the other hand, a black screen with a sad penguin, preferably accompanied by some chimes on the speaker, would be a lovely homage to the classic #Macintosh.

Someone: Why does Windows suck? 🤔

There might be Windows users using Microsoft Azure Linux.

Windows users, you won't know until you try it out! 🐧

Windows 11 even used a tagline similar to KDE Plasma 😐

Do you, or have you ever, used a graphical user interface? If you use #Windows, #macOS, or any version of #Linux with a window manager or desktop environment, you can thank Dr. Clarence "Skip" Ellis.

Dr. Ellis worked at Xerox PARC, the research organization that developed the modern GUI. Icons, windows, the mouse, Ethernet-based networking, laser printing - all of these (and more) came out of PARC. Dr. Ellis led the team that created Officetalk, the first program to use icons and the Internet. He got his start at 15 years old showing a local tech company how to reuse punch cards, which was a game-changer back in 1958.

Oh, and he was also the first black man to earn a PhD in Computer Science.

@Friendica Support

Hi,
I'm working on my first #friendica #VPS installation, here you'll find my initial post about general thoughts like what distro to use, size and costs.
I'm using the tutorial "creating a friendica server - ubuntu" by @Hank G ☑️.

As of now I'm doing well in the process and want to start this post to document differences and questions while installing the server.

This server is going to host an already existing friendica node I have to move from another hosting provider. That means that for example the DB doesn't have to be created from scratch but moved and other smaller details.

I will try to address the different steps of installation in answers to this post and appreciate help, ideas and observations.

I'm doing this from a #linux desktop environment from the console but there shouldn't be differences if you want to do this from a #windows machine.

#fediVerse #tutorial #fediHelp #activityPub

Tutorial: Creating a Friendica Server with Ubuntu 22.04

The main Friendica documentation has install instructions for setting up the core part of the system. However it assumes that you have properly installed all the dependencies and leaves securing the system as an exercise to the user.

Also unlike #Windows, #Linux just works.

Seriously, the worst issues I've ever seen with #ArchLinux pale in comparison with the shitshow that is the #Govware from #Redmond - including #AMD's crappy drivers that @fuchsiii suffers under.

@gpuopen, #plzfix!
