A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

I was a Linux admin on a team of fourteen. A Windows Server admin bragged at his server had gone a full two months without a reboot.
In fact, it was 65 days. The other Windows admins congratulated him. He came over to tell me the news, which I already overheard and sshed in to check my uptime.
"821 days uptime." He got disappointed. That's cool, because he was a jerk for many reasons.
But deep inside, I realized I needed to stay late after the call center closed, as it is a good idea to apply kernal patches to your firewall.
Yeah I was going to say, even just as a homelab admin, I can keep my OS uptime high if I want to, and just update my services, but I’ve missed some auto start fixes etc., where I updated and started the updated service manually, but then next power loss it didn’t start properly.
Now I try to make sure I reboot once a month when it’s convenient for me to fix issues to make sure all updates are applied and tested. And of course kernel updates like you say.
