Bodhi Linux. I have an old hp desktop and it only has 2 gb of ram and 2 cores. I wanted a real lightweight distro and settled on arch linux but one day i tripped and knocked the tower over. When i booted it back up i had the infamous blinking underscore. I tried reinstalling arch multiple times and it kept failing, so i tried a lightweight arch based distro called archbang, same issue. I tried manjaro same issue.

At this point i wanted to try something not arch based but wanted something that came with minimal preinstalled programs like arch. Research led me to bodhi which is a light weight distro based on ubuntu. Installed with no issues and been using it ever since, about 3 years now.

Don’t know what i damaged on the motherboard but it must have been something integral to arch based distros, but i’m kind of glad it happened because i love bodhi now

It has allowed an ancient computer to do so much. I’ve run matrix servers and web servers, written my own webapps to run on it and so much more

Isn’t this why you use venv?

Lol i had no idea

I want to live in that reality

Isn’t it sad that we have to do all this to prevent our information being spread around the corporate world like a virus

Ok, so by visiting a server you are sharing your IP (obviously you could use VPN/Tor to prevent that). By clicking your username I can see your posts but I cannot see what you view. I’m not even sure if a server admin could see that, but they could potentially correlate your IP with the pages you request. However, I don’t think a server admin with federation would be able to see what you visit since the federated content is duplicated on your home server, so i think it would still only be visible to your server’s admin. Not 100% sure tho, hopefully someone will chime in that knows more

But this is a great example of why you need to find a server admin you trust, because servers could also run modified lemmy code or be tracking user data, etc

Doesn’t immutable distro mean the root filesystem is readonly and programs are created with their own unqiue environment?

This post acts like the code for the OS should never change.

So if a critical CVE is reported they cant update ths OS because its supposed to be immutable?
