Every now and again I get asked why I use Gentoo, and I usually say that it's the perfect OS for me, or that does what I want it to do. (Though, sometimes I go on rambling for hours...
)
I think that this article conveys the point of Gentoo really well ( much better than I do :p ), so if you're curious, give it a read!

Huge thank you to the Gentoo community for their exceptional work
While OpenPorts.pl is resting because of the recent broken snap, you can use https://pkg-add.vip/ as a fallback.
I got annoyed by ads on my Samsung TV and leveraged the recently discovered weak eMudhra CA keys to spoof the ads and show pictures of my family on the TV instead.

I want to (finally) host my own email.
Any (anti-) recommendations for how to go about this (software, reading material, etc)?
"easy to set up" is nice but not a high priority. I can invest time understanding email enough to do it right. I care more about reliability and maintenance. Ideally, my setup should last 10+ years without too much fuss.
Battle tested, no slop, easy to migrate are a plus. I don't care about webmail. I use Nix, btw.
(boosts appreciated)
@radex simple-nixos-mailserver is your friend. This and some DNS trickery.
@radex that is unless you want to try Stalwart, but I don't have any experience with that one.
@DoomHammerNG Stalwart does look nice and modern for sure, but I have very little confidence that it won't get enshittified or enslopified. I'd need to see a strong non-stalwart-llc community willing to fork and maintain it indefinitely.
Re slop, their website looks slopped (e.g., "status" • dots everywhere) while its gith*b repo shows no indication of it, so they're not terribly transparent about it, which doesn't fill me with confidence.
@me @DoomHammerNG being a startup, the incentives aren’t aligned to build a clean, no-slop, non-enshittified product - *even if* the founders have all the right intentions. Re: slop: there’s different degrees of slop and different skill levels of slopsters. Not everyone goes all in on agent-committed slop. Many will still review and commit themselves. I suppose that’s better, but harder to spot. The worst IMO is when people use “skills” to “humanify” their slop - that’s super dishonest
@radex
It's already slop, with two big blog posts on "how we use AI" and "we made parts of code (tests) not openly available, because we like AI, but not how it can be used against us in particular" 🤷
@DoomHammerNG
@DoomHammerNG @viq I mean, it's late 2026 so I absolutely expected that there's a good amount of slop there, but it absolutely can get worse
@radex Have been very happy with mailcow for about five years or so. Easy to set up, upgrades never broke things for me, and pretty sensible defaults.
@radex I hear battle stories of folks fighting gmail hegemony, blacklisting, setting up all the modern header stuff, then still no email getting through.
Anti-yip would be "expect it easy and will work well"
Godspeed
@ctietze me too, but then also I’ve heard and seen enough to think this is overblown. My current impression is that email is complex and annoying but manageable, at least for personal use. I will surely report on my findings after I go through the setup
@radex It’s quite important to host on an IP without bad (previous) reputation. If that’s outside your direct control (which it probably
is), I’d recommend you ensure switching to a different hosting provider is easy later on.
Here’s the guide I used when I set up my first mail server: https://sealedabstract.com/code/nsa-proof-your-e-mail-in-2-hours/
It’s still largely applicable. You decide if you really want encryption. It makes automatic reboots a bit inconvenient. Also it missed DMARK.
Here’s a bit newer guide: https://jan.wildeboer.net/2022/08/Email-0-The-Journey-2022/
I haven’t followed it to fully setup a new mail server but from the read it covers a lot of essential things for a contemporary mail server.
One thing not covered almost anywhere is that you have to pick the right IP for your server. Before starting a server check IP’s reputation. This is especially relevant if you’re planning to use a VPS. You don’t know if someone before you screwed up IP’s reputation beyond repair. If it’s not good all your mail’s gonna end up in spam no matter what you do. I suggest using a hosting provider that doesn’t allow outgoing mail by default. E.g. Hetzner doesn’t even allow using port 25 by default. You have to open a support ticket to ask for it and you have to be their customer for a while before they even consider opening the port. But this significantly increases chances that your server IP’s gonna be clean.
@pointlessone thanks for the links! I do have access to good IPs :) (https://social.hackerspace.pl/@radex/117598139790506653)
@softmaus thanks :) I help with infra at an NGO, we’ve had our /22 for 9 years, and we don’t rent it out to just anyone.
@radex finally, it's about time you made _this_ bad decision. I recommend the going through the "Run Your Own Mail Server" book. It's pretty good.
Secondly, spend the 10 minute reading the docs, it will save you 4 hours.
Thirdly, doing this the proper way, not the: "here is a dubious do it all bash script", is worth it IMO. Knowing postfix or dovecot is a fun skill.
@radex i'm happy with simple-nixos-mailserver and used it for about as long as i have my box at hswaw/bgpwtf colo.

Please don't scroll past. This is important.
(edit: Note that the FreeBSD subreddit is in no way affiliated with the official FreeBSD project.)
I am being pressured by FreeBSD's reddit moderation team to censor the Omarchy #content_review or to remove it completely. They have began a harrasment campaign with the goal of removing me from this world.
the review: https://merveilles.town/@prahou/117501303459299869
The issue at hand is that a picture of a partial swastika appears in close proximity to the word FreeBSD, this they perceive as an attack on the FreeBSD project - if you've seen a newspaper before, you might understand the principle of two separate unrelated articles appearing next to each other. You might also understand that I am reporting on common associations with the Topic of the review. These are not my inventions, and I am not calling anyone anything. I am reporting on the news. Nevertheless, as much as I am a journalist, I am an artistè, and if my audience sees in my work something I didn't put there, I am not going to take that experience away from them. This probably says more about them than it does about me.
While I am a man of principle, there is one thing I like more - money.
I will delete it for $2,000. For $5,000 I will apologize. For $10,000 I will use daemonarchy exclusively for 6 months on all my computers. For $25,000 I will not do anything. For $75,000 I will not post anything for a month.

To everyone who likes my work, this message is for you (from said freebsd moderator) [cw ableist slur]: https://beige.party/@fuzzy/117510032933612034
To everyone else who feels personally attacked by my art: send money, you can end this here and now.
Thank you for your attention.
pls boost

@prahou damn, people online gotta offend on anything at this point. I'm with you on this one, and I think they should really go get a newspaper from down the street for once 😅
@prahou this person is probably upset the original review didn't have enough slop. maybe it's time for a bonus freebsd issue? extra up to date coverage.
@cararemixed Thank you for your support. I'm pretty happy with the redacted FreeBSD issue. I think this is a great look for their project.
@prahou Hmm, I don't see this issue of Funhole Content Review in a negative light...I see some satire, directed at a particular group of people, sure, but this is a reoccurring theme of your art. Eh, they can pay you if it so deeply offends them. I hope they do.
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds Thank you for your support. I don't see it either, that's why this whole drama took me by surprise.
In fact, some of my best friends are FreeBSD users!
@prahou thank you for explaining the controversy for those of us who have not seen a newspaper before.
@prahou
Power tripping mods are going to power trip. You make fun art on the internet that's multi-layered and interesting. They moderate a subreddit and ban people for saying AI sucks.
They just want to play with the new fascist shaped distro and are glad someone ported it to their favorite os. They got a look in the mirror and didn't like that the mirror was there in the first place. They made the connection.
I hope they pay up lol
@prahou FreeBSD!
...wait no not that free!
@Cat Thank you for your support, sib.
@Cat @prahou I'm still running FreeBSD because:
A) I'm history's greatest monster,
B) I'm a lazy bastard,
C) I love the smell of napalm in the morning!
D) All of the above.
I already put my Slytherin banner away, I dunno what else performative product choices I could make for sanctimonious people to like me.
@prahou too much politics in this issue, sorry, I can't support anyone with diacritic in the name. Please rename yourself into something bland and generically anglo-saxon. Until then these €17 are staying with me (it will be spent on beer)
@prahou I am fully supporting you but I am also a bit confused as if I should send money or not to keep the art up sooooo.... will a follow do as well ?
@prahou well that's certainly one obvious self-report by the freebsd people
@Ember I don't want this to be the take-away. I'm certain this is the doing of a single confused man, but the fact he wears the cape of FreeBSD while he does it is probably not a good look for the project.
Thank you for your support.
@prahou
Does the small animal have to be an adult, or do babies count as small?
You know what, I should have never asked.
I feel for you in these trying times.
@prahou Why would anyone care about Reddit?. Didn't they sign over its content to train AI models 3 years ago? 🤷🏻
@prahou wow, there are so many comments on that thread. Who knew there was so many people in the world?
@harib_murshidi @Netraven This is what I get for trying to help people make better art. Thank you for your support.
@prahou If there's anything I took away from loosely following this situation, it is that THIS IS EXACTLY why art like this needs to be made and matters. Also highlights the importance of art literacy...
I just wanted to voice my support. Thank you for making art! God knows I am inspired to work on some myself now!
@prahou I sent you money to keep posting. Please consider it a negative amount towards the sums requested.
@prahou I thought you were joking. Daemonarchy is actually a thing. I hope you get the 10K.
@prahou wow that was a influencal text, i am influenced, you influenced me.
@prahou
What counts as a small animal to you?
@ygor What do you have in mind?
@prahou
Sorry for the delay, I was in a meeting (which was in no way related to my question).
Anyway, would an octopus that can fly at hypersonic speeds qualify as a small animal?
@prahou “I’m offended by the swastika in close proximity to the thing I like”
The same guy: “as long as its ’purely technical’ and ‘apolitical’, I’m ok with actual nazis working on projects I like”
That’s fucking rich!
P.S.:
I'm looking forward to more of your art :)
/* I'm unable to donate at this moment :( */
@me Thank you for the kind words and your support! Some of my best friends are FreeBSD users.
@prahou Oh wow, that escalated quickly. So the Reddit mod has a pull on the fedi server as well? Wild.
People with larger reach than me should talk about this more to the fedi servers users, I wonder how they will they feel about it once they're made aware.
@prahou youre in good company, infosexchange banned me for calling myself a tranny (im a tranny and dont think theres anything wrong with being a tranny)
@prahou $30k to kill FOSS Angel and promote Grendel to Godhood.
@Officeplant Deal. Paypal?
@claushoumann @jerry Trying to figure that out! I will do literally anything to revert that decision! Almost anything.
Well. A fair amount of things.
@prahou @claushoumann no longer banned. Please refrain from offering to kill small animals for cash.
@jerry @prahou @claushoumann
Probably don't do it for any remuneration.
@prahou i thought your comic was great and could only be misunderstood willingly. wish i had $5000 lying around, i'd love to read your entirely unwarranted apology :)
@prahou wow my home instance sucks
@cyberquixote wait! I AM BACK!
@prahou PSA stands for Panda software announcement
@prahou i'm genuinely confused, is all this about a bunch of nazi bootlickers being offended by a nazi symbol? or did i miss some "nuance"
@prahou I re-read the post in question and it was clear to me it was a satire/critic of Omarchy and its slop "clones"
But, I guess that trying to implement support for software created by a guy who posted on his personal blog awful, shitty ideas is okay (spoiler : it's not, even if you are what you call "neutral").
You have my support !
@prahou Mad about swastika, then uses the R word. Someone has serious cognitive dissonance to deal with.
@prahou Uh, if that guy actually had a stress-induced heart attack a little while ago, maybe he shouldn't go around picking fights on the Internet? You can't just start slinging shit around you and then go "NO YOU HAVE TO BE NICE TO ME OR I'LL HAVE A HEART ATTACK AND IT'LL BE YOUR FAULT".
@prahou pointing out here for anyone else on beige.party who has a problem with fuzzy's behavior here, he's probably broken two of beige.party's server rules. Beige shitposters can report them.
2: No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, ableism, casteism, or any other form of bigotry.
4: No harassment, dogpiling, doxxing or otherwise abusive behavior.
> While I am a man of principle, there is one thing I like more - money.
... because I'm an artist :)
that said, the accusation is bonkers.
@prahou ok but how much do we have to pay you to eat a bug? #ThisWholeSituationIsLudicrous
@arclight that ship has sailed, can't do those kind of rewards anymore..
Thank you for your support.
@prahou Thank you for your service.
For the record I was just checking what the current "I will eat a bug for <X> dollar" value was. Something something, prediction markets, gotta unload these NFTs, etc.
@prahou I can offer you $20 but you have to use NixOS for 7 hours.
@mica In a single or over many sessions?
@prahou your choice.
@mica how would you verify i did it? do you want me to stream it?
@prahou I'd expect a slew of comics with references that only a NixOS user would understand. A snowflake smoking crack? Nvidia driver tanks? I dunno, you're the artist!
@prahou@merveilles.town fuzzy already prematurely blocked me. lol. lmao, even.
@prahou i have no idea what freeBSD or omarchy are. or computers for that matter. i'm just glad and thankful i get to see really cool Content beyond linuxmint comprehension.
I know you took that reward tier off but can I pay you to swat that fly that got into my bedroom and wakes me up by buzzing near my ear at 2am?
@prahou so hang on, dk if I got it right. a fascist, namely DHH, made a nazi thing, aka omarchy, and put free BSD in it, or made free BSD a part of it, then the free BSD project didn't object or say we're not associated with any of this but we can't stop him from using our code? More so, some people from there actually endorsed it, and then the same people are offended by you rightly putting a nazi symbol next to their project's name because that's how they act? that right so far? If so, they deserved it for sure, and no, you definitely don't have to subject yourself to the torture of having to use omarchy, even if they give you the money you mentioned in the post, because screw that thing and may the whole thing be washed away by the metaphorical sea.
@prahou the founder, the fucking founder? and they are still offended by you calling truth to power? what the holy hell universe is this? I know we ran out of timeline resets a while ago, but darn it, I wish I kept one :p
@esoteric_programmer @prahou Calm down, he's not the founder, though he was a key participant in its formative years. He went to Apple, left, joined one of the vendors, eventually migrated to NVidia; I do not recall if he is still employed by them, but it may explain his apparent proselytism of something I do not condone. I don't personally have anything to do with him, and he's not been directly involved in the community or its development workflows in decades, which bears pointing out.
@bms @esoteric_programmer @prahou never in the history of "calm down" has asking anyone to calm down ever worked.
@prahou I read what I could find. It can be scary being targeted by people who make a big misunderstanding. But I think you're handling it perfectly, and you're in good company. ❤️🩹
@prahou This is a hilarious coincidence, as I was just remembering the amusing and 100% effective trick of saying "Don't be a nazi" into the void, and not having to wait long for someone you never knew existed to shout back "Don't call me a nazi". https://mastodon.social/@jripley/117513645874985052
@prahou oh, its p•rrin who got upset at it. that tracks, they’re an AI bro, so calling out omarchy may have struck a nerve
Let it be known that I love consuming Content and providing you with engagement.
What the scallop
I've heard of some Fedi people having attitudes akin to reddit moderators but I wasn't expecting the literal example to show up 💀
@prahou It seems like furry.engineer has that guy suspended, so he must have a history of this behavior. I wonder why beige.party doesn't do anything about it. Do they allow this?
@prahou I will stand by your side. When I feel sad I seek and find comfort in the world of technomage. Your art is very bunsome, plus: Everybunny loves Grendel! :3
Please consider my previous purchase of your stickers as license to continue being a gadfly in perpetuity. 🤣 🫶
@prahou I once saw a swastika on my computer screen, and sometimes those pixels are also FreeBSD and kittens. How could this happen?
@prahou I've always been a fan of this tactic. Except in fascist instances, the money I'd receive for bought silence would enable me to do recurring monthly donations to things fascists dislike (Mermaids, Trevor Project, etc.)
@prahou No, will not boost. If you're a journalist, you know about positioning, especially if you're the one doing the positioning.
And, as soon as you said "While I am a man of principle, there is one thing I like more - money." you hit my "go fuck yourself trigger. This is not a free speech issue - it's a naked money grab.
@nzlemming Thank you for your support!
@prahou either you're being sarcastic AF or you misunderstand what support means.

@prahou @nzlemming has she used her sephora coupon yet
@ozzelot @nzlemming What do you think?
@prahou @nzlemming i think she is savoring it for the perfect product drop.
@ozzelot @nzlemming You're probably not wrong. She made me print 400 of the latest content reviews just for the coupons.
@prahou This is why you should be using a laugh track. Also, congratulations on the journalism degree.
@nzlemming @prahou I’m got to check the Lost and Found box to see how many senses of humour have been handed in. I’m guessing there are loads. Not everyone gets satire …
prahou time to step up your game and do a dressed money grabs!
@bsandro @nzlemming i need money to buy clothes first! Thank you for your support!
@prahou
I figured out the misunderstanding - your 'money grab' is dressed with thoughts and prayers provided by yours truly, that's why it looks like naked! While in reality it is not.
@nzlemming
@thedaemon
Thank you for that. Satire is so hard these days. Consider me well and truly"got", Tomáš.
@prahou I sympathise with you, and since I share your values, I want to offer you my support:
- full support for 10% of your donations,
- strong support for 7%,
- standard support for 5%,
- thoughts and prayers for 2%,
- either thoughts or prayers for 1%.
Cash only. The sympathy is free!
@prahou had to draw something that entire concept is just... The internet is a crazy place. And best response this one has seen in awhile. If I had money I'd pay you to keep making art

@angel Thank you for your support. Panda is actually the official mascot of the fediverse.
@prahou So let me get this straight.... The FreeBSD team is upset about.... An unrelated article? Are their brains smooth or some shit?
@DavidsCreation Turns out it's not the freebsd team at all! just a reddit moderator of the freebsd subreddit, who has nothing to do with the team! Thank you for your support!
@prahou Reddit... Of course.... What else is there to say? Truly a platform of brain dead fellows.
@prahou hey have you reached out to anyone in the project about harrassment? I can go run it up the flagpole if you'd like.
@erikarn oh, they reached out themselves to me, and explained the perpetrator (and the subreddit) was not affiliated with them whatsover.
Thank you for your support!
@prahou yeah, it's controversial, but neither are part of the project. that doesn't mean their action don't reflect on the community, but we don't have a hammer/carrot to use here.
@erikarn i added an edit to make it obvious. i can't delete the post unless i'm paid $2,000, i'm sure you understand.
@prahou you continue to be OpenBSD's funniest fighter, thank you very much. I have recently enjoyed setting it up on an old thinkpad and it's as much fun as ever :)
@somebody Thank you for your support! I'm glad to hear you enjoy it, it is still my favorite system.

@me, damn, indeed I didn't grasp that, though now that you mentioned it, I'm like, that line was definitely there.
So how many FOSS orgs are choosing to not use genAI at all? Obviously I know @spritely takes that stance, because I work there.
But who else?
Godot, maybe? (They played with it for a bit then enacted a policy against it, IIRC.) The Document Foundation, though I am not sure by what degree? Zig, certainly.
But who else? The room seems to be shrinking, alas :\
@cwebber
KaniDM and Readeck, though I guess that projects, not orgs.
LibreOffice had that whole campaign, but I don't know whether it was just "no integrations", or full on "not anywhere near our projects" 🤔
NetBSD seems to be of the nope persuasion.
@tommi @cwebber @spritely @guix Guix has an interim policy forbidding LLM contributions: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Copyright-Matters.html#Coding-Assistants-_0028LLM_0029-Policy
They are working towards a permanent policy using their consensus process. No ETA on that but the majority are in favor of a strong permanent prohibition.
@cwebber @spritely Gentoo Linux adopted a strict policy! https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Council/AI_policy
I'm more upset than I've been in a while.
Windows 11 sets the default documents folder to onedrive\documents. Anything that gets saved there gets backed up to one drive. This includes various save games, all my Reaper stuff, and various other odds and ends that I like to, you know, save.
To save disc space, OneDrive also defaults to files being online-only. They're not stored on your device, they're just listed there. So despite what they call it, this is in fact not a backup at all, because it doesn't create an extra copy. It is actually just transferring your most precious, irreplacible, personal files to Microsoft in the background, and trusting that nothing will happen. You can see where this is going, but just to underline the point with a bleeding fucking dagger, I did not ask for any of this, I just clicked save like I have done for the last twenty or so years of my life using Windows.
Since I don't care about and have never intentionally used onedrive, I signed out of it. Flash forward six months, the files that I thought were on my computer (because I can go see them there in the folder) are in fact gone from my hard drive, and also Onedrive nuked them from orbit.
Years of my life, gone without a trace. Thanks so much, Microsoft. Whoever came up with all those ideas probably got massive performance bonuses, because we're in the worst timeline.
Goodnight.
@prism This is why you should stop the backup before you sign out, and for each folder, choose to keep the files on the pc when you are stopping it. Works for me every time. If i forget to do this I can sign back in and fix it without much trouble usually since i do it when I run a new install for the first time while I'm installing things and setting stuff up.

@thermia ah you're doing oauth
@arichtman@eigenmagic.net no actually! it was looking into why + is a valid encoding for a whitespace in query parameters specifically
@thermia oh huh, I hadn't realized but yea, you would think %-encoding
@arichtman@eigenmagic.net yeah! for the path-part a plus sign is interpreted as a literal plus sign, but not in query parameters
@thermia@sk.girlthi.ng histerical raisins!http://example.com/?foo+bar is also valid! Look up "isindex" and "keyword search"
For something that's been around less than 40 years, there's an impressive amount of fossilized remains

@dakkar@s.thenautilus.net @arichtman@eigenmagic.net so THIS is why things are like that huh thank you! I'm equal parts horrified and fascinated

Trump calls renewed Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries a "disgrace" forgetting to mention that Russia was the one to break his "energy sector cease fire".
The bully gets away with bullying, the kid that fights back gets sent to the principal's office.
The sooner Trump starts being treated like a Russian asset, the better.
@rysiek i always wonder which compromat they have on Trump.
My guess is csam.
But yes we must assume Trump and larger amounts of the american government are russian assets.
@rysiek
Yes, *he’s* the disgrace - pure projection. 🤮 Behaviour of a two year old child & weird gangster hypocritic language (“not a fan”: what kind of talk is that for a head of state?). 👎 Poor old Thump: he really thinks he runs the world. 😂 When it looks like he can’t even control Whisky Pete! Rumour (Jake Broe, usually well informed) suggests Pete made the Starlink decisions. (Never seen so many ads for Starlink either, looks like the publicity didn’t do them any good.) Total self own. 🤯

WIP Wednesday, 14 October 2026
The FreeCAD team has switched to preparing for the release of FreeCAD 26.3, the first one under the new versioning scheme....

@freecad I am VERY SAD to see claude commits in your repo, and that you dont have a restrictive anti-ai policy.
We are now forced to eat your slop and there is no free alternative.
I feel betrayed. It's not better than user capture by proprietary software tools.
this is very very disappointing and stressful. I cannot recommend freecad to anyone.
@concretedog @f4grx @freecad NGL, seeing more and more shit like this every day each time brings me closer to just giving up on this whole IT stuff for good.
@foosel @concretedog @f4grx @freecad
One of the goals of AI is, to make you give up on your own projects.
If it is "just" a project, you are contributing to, you probably are going to leave.
But if it is your own project, don't give up because others seemingly progress much faster.
Some day, LLMs will be as expensive as hiring a top-tier developer with similar costs per month.
Don't give up before that.
@AdeptVeritatis @concretedog @f4grx @freecad I'm not sure if you are aware that I'm the maintainer of a somewhat popular open source project myself, that I've been doing that for almost 14 years now, 10 of that self employed, and that I'm doing my best to not get broken by this crap. It's tough. Not because of others being faster or something like this, but because I see cognitive effects, quality effects and in general what it does to society.
So far I endure.
@gigabecquerel
Build *and* support your own car.
@dzwiedziu OP was asking someone else to do that hard work for them for free.
When I go to a car workshop, they usually demand money and nobody's upset about it.
@fluepke @dzwiedziu then ask for this money. Free as in freedom, not as in free beer.
The "OP" (I assume you meant F4GRX Sébastien ⸚) used "free" in an ambiguous way, sure, but it was juxtaposed against "proprietary", so I doubt that the meaning was meant to be "gratis".
@rysiek @fluepke @dzwiedziu I should call it benevolent, voluntary developed software, eg not with productivity constraints.
here's some info about the giant php bug dropping tomorrow:
https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/10/20/34
hopefully mastodon doesnt absolutely destroy the video quality, but it appears to be unauth php rce.
which means every firewall on the planet thats not patched thats just php under the hood and has its management interfaces exposed is potentially a target

@prahou did you just experience a disk destroyer incident?
@j-g00da no! but I thought I did for a second, so it made me reflect.
it's only ever happened to me once many years ago, when I overwrote my computo with a lunic installation
@prahou After the first time, I learned to type echo dd ...
and think about it before I removed the echo.
Not a lot more often after that.
@prahou If i recall 3 times, one was really painfull bc I ddestroyed about 2 weeks worth of data processing and analysis for my masters thesis :)
@prahou I was a professional sysadmin with many years' experience, super great at my jobs, so of course I don't understand why the top choice only starts at five 
Are we talking per week or something?
@prahou Never, at the cost of doubting and second-guessing myself and triple-checking the commands. An acceptable price, all things considered.
Still managed to do a `rm -r` instead of `mv -r` this one time, though.
@prahou literally one time, two days ago, accidentally wrote a raspberry pi image to a desktop partition and discovered my mortality
