  • Possible, but highly unlikely.
    For starters, if that many were killed, I think it’d be really hard to keep a lid on it these days.

    Secondly, I’ve done a lot of reading on the atrocities of WW2, and two immediate constraints come to mind:

    • Bodies. While possible, disposing of that many bodies without anyone noticing will be really hard.
    • The gas chambers of ww2 were only planned during the Wannsee conference in 1942, long after the holocaust actually started. The gas chambers were built because the original plan was not sustainable: People killing other people at an industrial scale. No matter how vile a person is, the human mind was not built to deal with having to mow down swathes of humans with a gun. Even the worst SS troops largely couldn’t deal with killing that many defenseless people, even if they were convinced it was “for the greater good”. The amount of SS troops who ended up unable to continue due to the mental after effects is staggering.

  • If it works on mint, it’ll most likely work on debian, with the caveat that debian is a lot more CLI and a lot less handholding. Depending on your setup, debian might be a better choice for you, as Mint is desktop oriented.

    But don’t fix something that already works. If there’s no issues with your Mint setup, I’d say keep it. Next time you set up a server, you can go for debian instead.

    Source: I use both extensively. Mint on desktop, debian on headless stuff.





  • I’ve been curious about kagi for a while, as I see the topic come up now and then.

    Could you describe how it is better (except from the obvious privacy aspect) in your particular use case?

    Which plan do you subscribe to?

    What is the AI assistant it refers to, and do you use it?

    Does it filter out standard slop that has been plaguing (my) search results lately, such as “How to fix (some specific problem with technology ABC): Long description of what technology ABC is, followed by some boilerplate bullet points such as updating drivers and run windows update.”

    @[email protected]: Same question to you.
