Technically you are able to to do with any live environment and backup data, so the answer would be “yes”.

Restic is my favorite, but you really would need to be familiar with the terminal, cron tasks, etc. to consider it a viable option.

I unironically suggest you try installing Gentoo some time. You’ll be forced to learn a lot about how modern Linux works, and can even go with a non-systemd install if you want to learn a more “traditional” install.

Lemmy.world is run by Mastodon, while lemmy.ml is run by unapologetic socialists/communists.

One doesn’t really have a political focus while the other one has at least officially associated itself with such beliefs.

Thanks to the federated nature of lemmy, if you don’t like the way an instance is run you are free to go to another instance. If you want to be in an instance that will align with your beliefs, then you have that option as well. Isn’t it wonderful?

You don’t win people over by getting upset at them. I can only hope you find peace in your life eventually. I remember being in my militant atheist phase.

Good luck.

That’s how you turn the boys and girls into proper Linux using men and women.

This isn’t a a debate. I gave someone a suggestion on how to be happier that has scientific basis showing it works in doing that. I even gave other suggestions.

I hope you can find peace in life if you’re this hostile to someone bringing in something you dislike. Good day.

Even in European countries there are two dominant parties that work with others on their side of the aisle. In fact the concept of a left and right comes from France.

Polarization is universal in politics at the scales or democracy.

I feel many people are so privileged on both sides of politics that they have nothing better to do than to create their own problems.

Gnome devs have a nasty habit of “rethinking” things while ignoring tons of usability issues. I’d like them to stop rethinking things until they addressed those first…

Most people believe in God, so you’re arguing most people are being swindled, implying they are not intelligent enough to come to their own conclusions on the existence of a higher power. That is a very pessimistic view of reality I think, especially when people such as Galileo, Darwin, and Newton were very religious themselves.

Yes. Politically militant people are becoming more common. This time last month people seemed to have been much more agreeable even if they didn’t agree with you.

Where did I say religion works for everyone? I gave it as one example of something that worked for me and clearly works for billions of others.

I’ve had awful experiences with the mental health system, but I think getting triggered by someone saying therapy worked for them makes sense. Sorry to hear you suffered.

Yes. Many religious people including myself feel happy. That’s one method.

Others find a purpose in their life to drive toward or dedicate themselves to. Be it art, friends, family, work, learning etc.

I would suggest looking at what you want from life, and asking yourself what the first step is to achieving that. I find that I’m at my happiest when I’m keeping on track with my goals.

This is the most simple solution and probably a lot safer than the alternatives. Another good option would be to use OpenVPN.

If I didn’t graduate high school I would probably just lie to get my foot in the door.

Thanks. I’ve noticed there’s many LGBT people in general who seem to feel this way, so it’s always nice to hear from others who do too.

Ext4 came out 20 years ago.

I’m sick of how unhinged people get about trans people, especially from those in the left. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had my identity invalidated by people simply because I disagree with them on something socially or politically. These people claim to be my allies but the moment I don’t fit their stereotype of a trans person it’s like I’m not even a person to them anymore.

What those kinds of people have done to my brother as well pisses me off to no end. It’s disgusting how a political group claims to be your friend only to try and harm you if you don’t act the way they want you to. That’s what abusers and cultists do.

When the American republic becomes the American Empire and companies become divinely chosen aristocrats. Not an impossible outcome.
