The Vulgar Tongue

@melivia
Sorry it's taken so long to respond, I've been busy.

I kind of warn at all kinds of offensive content in this dictionary but I'll add a note.

What baffles me most is that when I come to read an article, seconds after arriving to the page, a mini video is served. Like, why would you do that? It doesn’t make any sense. It’s even their own content, not an ad.

Any opinions on Incus vs LXD?

Apparently the former is a fork of the latter, created because of concerns about Canonical's relicensing of LXD. But I've never heard of it and have no idea how much support it has.

Moving away from Ubuntu because of the snaps fiasco (I've lost LXD images because LXD is installed as a Snap, it's not a theoretical annoyance.) So would be curious to know if Incus is a drop in replacement with future support.

Every small town in the US is one Trump claim away from having hundreds of armed nazis descend on the town, to fight a boogie man that doesn't exist.

Neither the local GOP controlled government, nor the heavily GOP local police department, will be able to keep them out.

Whether it's Colorado cops being told that apartments were taken over by gangs, or Ohio cops being told that Haitians are kidnapping and eating cats, they can't beat the nazi lie amplification machine.
