go to ./nginx then run.

don't run ./configure in ./nginx/auto/

I ran "make", don't want to run "make install" as I already have a /usr/bin/nginx . So now where's the nginx executable that I just made?

>backdoors in BSD / BSD kernel
Don't think it has those if we're talking about the open source variant (which is the main one used by FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc). If we're talking about BSD used in closed source with no contribs given back (which BSD license allows, unlike GPL), then it could definitely have backdoors.

No, I'm a nigger so have to go for the "easiest" solutions. But my "advice" is more general than the immediate needs. If he's got a work machine (which is a machine that he needs to do critical actual /work/ on, regardless of where the computer is located or who owns it) then he likely needs:
DEBIAN
FUCKING
STABLE
which has rare updates that can randomly break things that he needs for his WORK. But in general your point is quite valid!

If someone came to you in 1995 and said in 2015 everyone would have a little computer in their pocket that's thinner than a pencil and is basically just a very high quality screen tha5t can do everything., With fulll access to the internet, and able to make phone calls to anyone, or video calls to anyone anywhere in the world. And the video quality would be better than the highest end picture photography. And it was 1000x faster than the best computers now. Would you believe them?

you are dumb, i have used it and let me tell you the only use for its design is in a touchscreen (and even then it's counter intuitive at least when it comes to windows 8). generally speaking windows 8 (and by extension 8.1) is the equivalent of pissing away all good that was left, it is the start of the end of windows, in fact, it introduced the framework of what will eventually become everything wrong with windows, notably the inferior platform we typically call uwp, the only windows 8 i could possibly respect is probably its phone version, i have used windows 10 mobile and it was actually fucking good there and as far as i know phone versions of 7 to 10 don't really differ much from each other

systemd makes linux pointless. you get more of a headache (complexity) + you get spied on when you use linux, instead of just getting spied on with windows

open source is like having open borders too, its a feminine and communistic philosophy

linux requires internet to be usable, its baked in to the OS design to be dependant on packages and dependencies where it has to constantly make a connection and reach out to do something, and to use it requires constant googling and a.i usage, more internet

it also wastes tons of time, and trannies are always changing the software. at least with windows your .exe will always work across windows versions for the most part, and windows can be set up fully offline

windows 11 is still MILES better than linux. the only thing that makes linux good is virtualization, and they are going to crack down on that soon, i can just feel it. there are so many moving parts to windows virtualization via qemu and fedora drivers

Demonstrably false.

>its baked in to the OS design to be dependant on packages and dependencies where it has to constantly make a connection and reach out to do something
This is different to other OS's, how? Point at the OS that isn't dependant on a complex mess of other chunks. The difference with *nix is you get to choose the chunks. That is all.
Nothing makes connections that isn't a piece of core functionality. As a rule.

Webp is shit and it has little to do with jewgle. It's only resl merit is better compression than older formats but comparing to them is disingenuous. You should compare it to JXL and AVIF where it's clearly the worst. The only reason it's prominent is because jewgle is pushing it on everyone because of internal politicking.
>>
>>107550043
what do you think of jxl? personally, i think it's the true replacement for jpg/jfif, since it has features that will help in the transition from the legacy jpeg format. lossless recompression of existing jpegs is essential to me and i think everyone would benefit as well, as long as it's widely adopted.

Early 2020s: China enacts laws severely crippling the internet for people unless they show ID

Jul 2025 (Online Safety Act): UK enacts laws neutering the internet for people unless they show ID; remains in effect despite initial outcry

Dec 2025 (Online Safety Amendment): Australia enacts laws neutering the internet for people unless they show ID; likely to remain in effect despite current outcry

Apr 2026? (KOSA, made it into the House recently): US enacts laws neutering the internet for people unless they show their IDs

EU has similar shit on the table iirc, they're the fucking EU they love regulation

This will get worse, and this won't go away, at least not in the way you want it to - it'll be an impossibly difficult sell because "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" Security theater is notoriously difficult to reverse, just compare flying pre and post 9/11. This'll probably be more of the same. Again, UK already had a petition, the gov there just laughed in everyone's faces. Only way any of this is really "going away" is, like, the internet itself going extinct.

Not just this btw, also got countries banning Chinese social media (which in many cases can ironically be less restrictive), Android banning sideloading, etc.

This won't get kids playing outside again. They'll just watch only the government-OK kid-friendly TV, YouTube Shorts, and AI. Sheeple will still use a heavily policed internet and talk to Amanda the AI HR Lady because "brain need dopamine". China's still full of internet addicts despite having long had one of the world's most censored internets.

basically yeah. it was marketed for that, industrial applications, accessibility, and people with large hands. its ps/2 and from 1994, but i want to use t over usb so the pico is going to serve as an active adapter since the keyboard doesnt support usb natively. the pico is also eventually going to support custom functionality like key remapping since the keyboard can switch betweek abcdef and qwerty, and im also planning on bodging in some cherry switches for the modifier keys its lacking, which would probably make this the (soon to be) only keyboard in the world with bolth alps and cherry switches.

A few people here still use the X13g2/g3 and refuse to upgrade as they are quite nice, plus i was able to play a bit with an x13g2 and the keyboard is more than fine compared with modern commercial laptops.

iirc i paid the equivalent of 850~euroshekels for the X13g4 including shipping and taxes (will eventually take an X1 from work), just make sure you get one with a 100% sRGB panel or else you'll feel like you wasted your shekels.

on windows you can use SpotX, dunno how it works but I'm using it for years and never heard an ad

on android you can sideload a cracked app, process is a bit involved and your app will break after updates but there are reddit guides if you choose that path, I'm now on iOS so I don't care anymoe. On iOS you are kinda fucked I guess but I don't really mind

general advice is to download anything good you find on spotify so you grow your local music library that will always be yours and ads free
