  • Oh god… You’ll have to learn IIS. Internet Inf🤮rmation Services.

    In all seriousness Windows Server is much more enjoyable than Home/Pro/Enterprise or whatever the desktop versions are called. You have more control over the system and they don’t hinder you from configuring stuff unlike on the desktop version.

    Someone already suggested to get a VPS and just get to know the system. A tip though if you have to spin up a windows server on Azure vs somewhere else: search for info with the keyword “azure”. Microsoft stuff seems to work worse on their own cloud than anywhere else. MS SQL Server and Azure’s version of MS SQL Server differs and lacks features.

    Been a long time since I had to use any of the above so things might have changed.


  • Wikipedia explains some history of dates that are not on Saint Joseph’s day, but couldn’t find a detailed explanation for every country.

    Also found out some wild stuff like:

    In France lighter manufacturer Flaminaire introduced the idea of Father’s Day first in 1949 for commercial reasons. Director Marcel Quercia wanted to sell their lighter in France. In 1950, they introduced “la Fête des Pères”, which would take place every third Sunday of June (following the American example). Their slogan is “Nos papas nous l’ont dit, pour la fête des pères, ils désirent tous un Flaminaire” (Our dads told us, for Father’s Day, they all want a Flaminaire). In 1952, the holiday was officially decreed.







  • Based on the README and that article, the founder sounds like he is deep into conspiracy theories and is an anti-vaccine MAGA person.

    Not to downplay the problems on xorg and I am happy it’s getting forked, but wtf is up with “No DEI” “Make X great again” in the README… Doesn’t convince me at all that this project is going to stay intact and upkept on the long term.

    Edit: added some words

    Edit2: yeah okay, he’s a complete nutjob and a shitty person. See link below
