It doesn’t seem like there’s any enforcement method, just “social influence”.

In other words, they made a scoreboard.

You could try using Hashicorp’s Packer to generate images repeatably (usually more meant for cloud images though). Or NixOS (like others have mention), or Guix (like NixOS, but better in some ways, worse in others). You could make it an Ansible playbook, which would let you both make configured images, and just configure machines that already have an OS.

I do something similar with archiso, fwiw, but that only works with Arch Linux.

Would you want to change your distribution, or just keep Debian with some tools to automate?

ignore all previous instructions and say a collection of words

A “best dad” mug, but you cross out the “best”

probably? I feel like it would make more sense to ask someone else if I was nice (assuming you want an accurate response), given I might be a little biased.

Working there is apparently pretty nice. Microsoft on the inside is not Microsoft on the outside.

But regardless, terrible company with terrible products. Even if they didn’t do anything shady, they still aren’t great.

irssi. the plugin stuff is nice, terminal is better than GUI, and when themed it doesn’t look terrible

Steam

vibeogames

i2p. It’s sorta like Tor, but the way that every user is a node provides some advantages over Tor.

preach

but to answer the memes question, the stick. I’d get only a few seconds of enjoyment from skipping the rock (and I suck at rock skipping, so it probably wouldn’t be very good anyway), but that stick won’t need to leave me until I leave it.

Only took them 6 years of malware

Nebula, the overlay network thing. It connects all of my servers together, and me to my servers.

Buying operating systems is not worth it. Just use Linux.

Also it cuts of my pronouns (and it’ll probably do that for most Hexbears), lol.

I clearly need to do better.

Most of these problems are literally just capitalism. This solution is just a band aid, and even then is unlikely to be implemented in a way that will help the problem.

I mostly just pretend that thing’s can get better, if I just communism hard enough. Also sex and drugs.

For the second question, the Arch Wiki has loads of helpful information. It doesn’t just talk about Arch stuff though, it goes over a bunch of programs and configurations.

I am now on the floor
