  • I had a similar moment of clarity after troubles with Manjaro and a couple other Arch based distros.

    I really like the idea of a rolling release, but definitely nedd stability first.

    I swung back the other way, and jumped on Ubuntu LTS. And gradually over time I ended up having to get updates from external repos etc, and ended up in the same position where updates broke things or didn’t work.

    Currently running Ubuntu, and I just do an upgrade to the latest release each 6 months - after waiting a month after release date for everything to settle down. The upgrades to new releases have gone smoothly, I get updates to newer versions of software, and it’s been very rare anything breaks. Being a popular distro also means a big community to help with any issues as well.

    Dammit, it’s like I just wrote an ad for Ubuntu!

    If you’re moving from USA, then irrespective of whether you intend to stay in Australia, or return to the US, get tax advice about 401k/roth/australian superannuation. It’s a problem either way.

    And pray your orange fuckwit doesn’t keep outfuckwitting himself.

    Imagine if you were trying to transfer your money from one country to another recently, you could have easily lost 30%, simply because of the time it takes to withdraw, transfer and convert your money.

    I’d lean to leaving it open access.

    Too many places become effectively ‘walled gardens’ and become difficult or impossible to just stumble across eg via search results etc.

    Of course, there are the cost and performance considerations. idk if there’s a way to monitor logged in vs others. Or is there some way to prioritize serving responses to logged in users? I guess lemmy may not have that capability, and I don’t know how the server/instances are setup, but maybe split to have one server serving logged in users, and another to cater for ‘the rest’?

    Meh, it may be adding to complexity for little benefit.
