  • not to equate things as the arent equal, but indentured servitude was a thing as well as debt servitude among other similar things. Those things were similar to slavery except they (in theory) had an end. Now we know how things work in reality and it seems fair to assume some indentured servants never actually got out of it due to various grift. whites could definately end up as indentured servants.











  • I know it was some time in 2002. IDK what my first Linux distro was TBH, but I quickly returned to windows. Then Shortly after I took a dive off the deep end to try to really learn Linux some and spent days installing Gentoo on some probably 400-600 MHz single core box (was in college at the time). That, while being pretty painful overall, was a good learning experience. I was in school for computer aided drafting, got my associates, and here I am 20 years later as a DevOps engineer. I am comfortable with the big 3 OSes, tho mac would be my weakest. Gaming keeps bringing me back to a home Windows desktop, tho. Actually just set up a USB stick with nix plasma to check out this weekend as I think I’m missing the train on nix.
