Anarchist here, Authoritarians can fuck off.

I run about an equal number of Slackware and FreeBSD boxen.

I don’t tote anyone around. I just got here. My experience is from Mastodon - I have some good friends on shithole servers - granted it’s like 2% of the server and the rest are fuckwits, but I’m glad I know them and have the power to block the rest.

ELI5 (because I signed up about an hour ago) - what’s wrong with the Exploding Heads instance? I thought about joining up because I suffer from Exploding Head Syndrome (really)

Phew! Not just me then

Wait, this post reminded me I don’t know my instance rules

Make lots of plum wine. I shit you not, it’s delicious.

And so is damson wine by the way.

Do they drink it straight out of the barrel, or sterilized in some way?

Yeah, I can’t imagine it does you any good.

Last time I was there I got so sick. I haven’t been back since the travel lockdowns.

Australia here - we drink water straight from the tap, but I picked up the habit of drinking boiled water from my frequent trips to Shanghai.
