    You are all missing the point.

    Trees are not a “problem”, but rather an untapped resource.

    I mean look at them, millions, nah billions of them just sitting there, none of them are generating a penny for our billionaires.

    Imagine what our glorious billionaires can do if we allow them to just chop down all those trees? Think of all the beautiful toiler paper for our collective asses, as well as the billion of bibles (including a copy of the constitution) that they can sell to us for the low low price of $65.

    And as an added benefit, getting rid of all those trees will also eliminate the problem of forest fires. You can’t have those without forests in the first place.

    To be sure, some forests will need to be left alone, specially those close to residential areas, but not for the reasons that you think.

    We need those forests to actually burn down, hopefully taking down those houses next to them. Why? Think about it. If all those houses burn down then we can use those trees we chopped down elsewhere to build new houses, a BOOM for the construction billionaires. And also, it means that houses next to those forest that can accidentally burn down will have to have an increase in their insurance premium, we can even make it so that forests close to houses have a private company to fight forest fires, think of all the benefits for billionaires.

    Once you start thinking money, it all makes sense

    About a million years ago, back in 2007/2008 that is, there was this small company called Hexago that did R&D in IPv6 networking, they were behind the Frenet6 project and created the networking stack and the TSP client that would let you tunnel a /56 IPv6 network over a dynamic IPv4 connection.

    One the projects was a tiny hardware router, I honestly forget who made it, but Hexago would buy them, then we would flash each one with WRT+TSP client custom image, the idea was you plug this in your network and you have IPv6 connection in your network without doing any magic configuration.

    It worked well until we lost finding.

    So yeah, OpenWRT is old and not just for Linksys routers :)

    I’ve been daily driving boring Debian since RedHat Linux 8 came out 20 years ago now. I tried switching to openSUSE and just didn’t see the point after a bit, so I switched back. The only time I’m not on Debian is when I’m playing with FreeBSD or NetBSD.

    Same for DE, I’ve been using XFCE for so long that I don’t get the fuss about pretty environments.

    Not hopping does not mean you’re missing out, boring can be good. Things are stable and stay out of the way of you doing actual work.

    There is a quote out there somewhere about how customizing FVWM can become an obsession.

    There is nothing wrong about hopping, as long as you are doing it for hobbyist reasons, at the end of day the only difference is the package manager and the DE.

    Good luck
