  • Started with slack, hopped around for a few years as new distros began to pop up. Stopped using Gnome after… We’ll call it a philosophical disagreement with a Gnome developer. The main issue persists, so I still won’t use it.

    Eventually landed back on Debian, and I stay there with a mix of Debian based (proxmox), Debian stable, and one box running Sid for testing/reporting issues. I have two “main” desktops, deb stable and arch.

    Most have no GUI, except for my main desktopss, a laptop, and the one running Sid, all are KDE.

    I’m pretty well settled on the Debian side, arch is a more recent bit of fun. I may move the arch box to something else at some point, but the Debian boxes are basically here to stay.














  • Definitely dont bother with buying a pi if you’ve got other hardware.

    I have one physical (a 3b I had no use for anymore), and two running as containers. The containers do most of the heavy lifting, since they are so much faster than a pi they respond far faster, but the physical is nice for when I take down the clusters for maintenance (or when I lose power, the clusters shut down after about 3 minutes, the pi will keep going for a while on UPS).





  • Because its the opposite actually. Circumcision reduces risk, inclusive of STIs as well as UTIs. Its a significant, but partial, reduction in risk. This has only been shown with PiV sexual activity and not with PiA sexual activity, which could be an important factor.

    Adult circumcision works out well, including for a family member who did it in his 30s due to severe phimosis (which is also linked to penile carcinoma).

    I think the only appropriate answer to circumcision is not at birth, only for a clear medical need until they are an adult, and at that point it’s their decision.

    But I doubt you’ll find anything peer reviewed that suggests an increase in STIs after circumcision, I’ve only ever seen the opposite, and I did a lot of reading on it before my son was born.
