I apologise if this doesn't quite cut it as a microthought due to the text extension. The idea really is quite simple, it's just a feeling that's been invading me lately, I just wanted to find the right words to express it.

If things keep going like this I guess I'll abandon Youtube completely. How brighter my life will be

I think this would work better as a poll. If you make one please let me know!

Hey there 00's brother!

I work with data, and just today I found the longest name in our database, it was 46 characters long counting spaces and it consisted of three names and three surnames (which in reality is only two, but one is twice as long).

Mine is 37 characters long and I have two first names and a "Del". My girlfriend's is 33 and she has three first names.

The "De", "Del", "La", "Los", "De La" etc, count as part of a surname. For example "Del Río" is a surname.

For the exaggerated example I gave before, I chose a Telenovela sounding name, those are very uncommon but do exist in the wild. For more examples, I'd recommend you check out spanish royalty names, they are a lot longer and include a bunch of titles a la 'king of the Andals and the First Men, lord of the seven kingdoms and protector of the realm' but with saint names and things like that.

You know, having a Latino name takes this to the next level.

"Luis Arturo Fernando De La Rosa Elisondo De Los Montero"

Yeah... And my name ends in "-el" so 3 minute wall-sit it is

I think this is due to the fact that we've become a more sensible and empathetic society recently. We have access to more education, mental health, etc. We have a better understanding of the importance of childhood as a developing phase for human beings, and just how vulnerable children are.

I mean, sixty-seventy years ago, the US still had apartheid; that's how much we have changed as a society (I'm not american, but there have been many cultural and social movements all over the world)

Poor grammar/orthography

For comedy, these illustrations are very detailed! Do you make them yourself? I've been absolutely enjoying this series so far.

I completely agree with you there, Lemmy is its own thing. People are nice and respectful, communities are more constructive and less competitive, mods actually like what they're doing; the "vibe" is completely different here. No karma or awards incentives, pure cooperation and real social interactions.

We're open source! open hearts and open arms!

Are you suggesting that they are individuals? I mean, have you ever seen every Reddit user in the same room? Exactly! they are all the same 3 people replying to themselves (or so they seem to me).

Thanks!! I feel a bit more confident about this project now. To know that I'm on the right track is very validating to me. I will do my best to do my proper research and not go balls to the wall on this one.

I also really appreciate your advice on security, as I think this is the leg from which I limp the most. I'm still very new to all SSH and HTTPS things, so yeah...

I also didn't quite understand your first point; what does openhab mean? And how is it possible that the people you mention aren't getting hacked? Is it related to the second point about using ssh keys? I read in another comment that hackers could compromise my home network if I'm not careful enough, so I want to be extra cautious with that. (I hope I'm not lacking in common sense... perhaps it's my reading comprehension that's lacking... Yeah, that must be it!)
