Wow great feature. Apparently I accidentally hit the “flag” button all of the time because every one of my flagged posts was an accident. Now I get to go through and unflag them all. Sorry about that whoever made the post!

The anecdote I have is that one of my grand daughter's teeth are worse than my other grand children and grand nieces and nephews. She used RO water more than the others when she was younger, and her dentist reinforced the idea that RO water was unfriendly to early tooth health, apparently due to reduced fluoridation. I'm not suggesting that is worse than forever chemicals.
I’m dubious. Millions of people in the country are on wells and don’t use any fluoride, also fluoride isn’t present in every municipal drinking water supply.
I don’t understand the controversy of raising money even if the charged crime is a capital offense.
Nobody even knows all of the facts yet other what is being reported by the media, which is not the arbiter of truth.

Total marketshare was estimated at 1.5% for Linux gaming.
The survey comes direct from Valve's Steam Survey. Potential bias aside the Steamdeck alone is estimated at 40%. Arch and Ubuntu ~8% each.
Is there any other trustworthy metric of all "Linux Gamers" out there? I'm curious how much using the Steam Client effects or tilts results towards systems that easily run Steam. Self selection at it's finest. My logic side knows that with only a 1.5% rounding error to the total "PC" gaming isn't market significant. I should be happy with the trend.
I own a Steamdeck. But it's like how my friends use their Nintendo systems. As an extension of my PC windows I was already personal project time with SteamOS and SteamLink. Point is, I wouldn't consider myself in the 1.5% even though I game wherever.
If you include mobile games on ARM64 the the number of Linux gamers is significantly higher than x86.

I wrote a custom FTP->GDrive proxy daemon for use by my scanner. (I wanted USB->GDrive, but it turns out my Brother scanner wouldn't allow me to override scanning parameters on its display for USB, but it does for FTP...)
What are you using for this transfer?
I use a simple inotify script on the receiving FTP server that waits for a new file descriptor to close and then uses rclone to upload it.

I love this idea! All of my IP cameras just FTP to my server where they get immediately uploaded to my google drive. It works perfectly and it’s cheap but they’re still Chinese cameras connected to the Internet.
Is there a list of cameras that can be converted like this?
I wouldn't be so sure that it's a bad idea. Look how social media has damaged democracy around the world. US democracy is stuck in a bit of a death spiral - https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/04/how-stop-m.... I hate repression, but they've been at it for thousands of years and I'm no longer super confident we have something better (see citizens united, roe v wade, affirmative action). China's life expectancy just beat the US.
Free speech causing problems for the USA yet again?
I continue to be baffled by people objecting to systemd. I know some people just don't like it and that's fine, people make alternative distros without it. You're not alone.
But I just have to ask, even if it sounds condescending (I'm sorry- but I really am just honestly baffled-) has anyone who complains about systemd actually written a unit file vs an init script?
I have used init scripts, I have written init scripts. I hated it. Every program needed it's own little way of doing things and writing an init script for a daemon was a hassle of bash scripting and copy pasting.
Now you can get so much functionality out of literally just an ExecStart with a few lines of boilerplate. It's beautiful. And all your logs are in journald, which for me get scraped by a single promtail config into Loki. And systemd's structured logging means I get a lot of metadata available by default for filtering and tagging.
It's just swell. And it's free software!
I also never understood the disdain for it. I feel like 15 minutes of reading about systemd keywords and I was on my way to making some very usable and reliable systemd scripts.
I don’t use sysv init anymore but I don’t feel like I ever fully understood those scripts.
"Dairyland" sounds like a lactose-based theme park.
