I just finished installing #solus on a spare computer to try it out. It works great.

Installing Solus on a spare computer.

@zath is learning web design! https://zathaxx.github.io/

@StarStuffSister "anti-choice" is misleading. :/ It is like saying pro-choice people are "anti-life".

@mikey Yeah. I saw that this morning.

@mikey
Here is a useful link: https://www.centauri-dreams.org/2009/02/09/dust-up-between-the-stars/

We would need a ton of energy to deflect the particles though.

Not to mention the whole speeding up that fast thing. Antimatter reactors have amazing potential, but are science fiction.

I really like the movie Alien Intrusion. They have a whole section on that subject.

@mikey

I do not see any way at all that we can ever go that far because of that time problem. Even if we can go really fast, there is the problem of hitting a speck of dust. It would destroy the spaceship at that speed.

That is a great idea for a story. I had a story once about some guy that was the first to make a nuclear spaceship, and was on a mission to the outskirts of the solar system, and when they get there some terrible accident happens and the old guy that invented the technology was the only one left on the ship. He also discovers that an asteroid is headed for Earth, and there is no way for him to warn anyone.

That was the story I did for NaNoWriMo two years ago. I got a few chapters in, and then gave up I guess. I don't really remember.

It is not much of a debate. I mostly agree with you. :P

@mikey Yes. But there really is no way we will get out of our solar system. I think Mars is the furthest people can really explore realistically. It just takes so much time.

@mikey Yes. I absolutely love space, and the idea of colonizing other planets is very interesting, but I do not think we will be able to do so any time soon.

I agree that the "we can't go to space until we fix every problem on Earth" mindset doesn't make much sense. It annoys me too. But a the end of the day, this is the planet we have. Right?

@mikey I just think that it is unlikely that we will be colonizing Mars. That's all. I agree that he is saying things contrary to the mission though.

@mikey He is probably right when he says that, but he has said lots of other stuff that is messed up.

@Gargron Boost makes sense to me. It means that you are boosting it. It makes sense to me. I do like it better than reblog.

@jessmahler That is very surprising that such a day even exists.

@vicorva I am very behind as well. Good luck getting to your goal!

Are there any #solus users that would like to give their experience with that distribution? I want to try it sometime.

#linux #gnu #distribution #distro

@leadore Probably. Maybe I should do that. Thanks for the advice!

Either way, I want to set up a backup anyway.

@leadore I had something like that happen to me last time I did NaNo as well. It was much worse though.

@leadore I use git and push my changes to GitLab daily. I think it was when I switched my operating system when I lost it, but I copied all files over to my external hard drive first. It is just confusing.
