I really think the district does not matter, but for some reason really matters to those who haven’t tried yet or are in a Linux cult, ie Arch or Gentoo. I’m on fedora and it’s great :) I used to run Ubuntu on my servers and it worked well too. Now I run fedora on everything because it’s easy. I game a lot and have zero issues
It's definitely not legal, especially if your school is funded by the public. That "free internet and power" is paid by someone, and if it's the public, it's kind of a dick move.
This is assuming a lot and I think incorrect. I use the power and internet everyday as part of my job. Doing research and that which is related falls under that. And no it’s not funded by the public… but your point is well taken!
Thanks for sharing info on ssh. That’s helpful. If I’m sshing via Tailscale I wonder what IP they see? The Tailscale 100. one?
That’s a great point, that is exactly the point, haha. The public sites are related to the library and my research so it seems that would be allowed.
Yeah… that definitely would be too far. I’m even careful what I backup (no torrents only work) to my school machine over rsync ssh just to follow the rules.
What was the most ridiculous or funny boundary push you saw?
All of that sounds horrible! That most enjoyable content I have found is the Linux/FOSS discussion like you said. For me it seems like all of the fediverse is either discussing Linux/FOSS or doomscrolling leftists and libs complaining about trump. The latter really does creep into every discussion too.
I don’t know if I have an answer on Chinese tourists beyond I think most East Asian tour groups following the person with the flag is kind of funny.
That said, China and Chinese people are wonderful. Many of the cultural standards are just different but even more may be more civilized than the west. For example, putting family before all else, a love for cleanliness, home and person hygiene, shared meals, always willing to pay for your friends, taking care of those who take care of you (guanxi), etc.
Thank you so much for sharing this! One I have never learned this before and never understand the eastern front. Two, many Americans still view manifest destiny as a positive American culture. This really sheds light on how it’s not.
I mod the Buddhism coms here and am working on a PhD in Buddhism. I think I got it covered.
There’s a reason people take medication.
