“BuT wAiTiNg TiMeS!”

You don’t have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun the other guy.

I think most devs here can out-maintainable-code an llm.

Isn’t it Chromium based and thus subject to whatever Google forces them to do with adblocking?

I don’t mean to kinkshame and people can use their own favourite browsers, but Firefox has good support for all three of those areas (adblocking is an extension though).

Has Gitea even given any indication that they want to work on federation themselves?

Is this an allegedly “high performance” reverse proxy written in NodeJS? Uh… Yeah, good luck with that.

Also, how do they intend to protect against DDos attacks in a self-hosted environment with (presumably) a limited number of devices?

Small thing: There doesn’t (to my knowledge) seem to be an easy way to manage mountpoints/fstab with an easy gui interface.

So what do we call these? Cordslop?

Your stance on AI worries me a little. Your criteria for “acceptible” AI contributions does not include the requirement that the AI writes secure code. How are you ensuring that the AI isn’t introducing problems?

Also, you say that your site doesn’t use JavaScript, yet your repo has a “js” folder containing JS code. What is that for?

A small bug: On the “place” page, the location doesn’t seem to be localised to my language. So apparently I live in Skottland.

I have some other privacy concerns, but I’ll probably comment them tomorrow since its late.

Hopefully all this isn’t too discouraging, it’s an interesting project.

I’d say if the version is the same, go with the Debian packages and then fall back to the Flatpak one if it doesn’t work.

The 260MB of storage for Flatpak is a bit misleading though. If you have other flatpaks installed, it’s smart enough to deduplicate the files and share them.

Another thing to consider is xdg compliance. If you’re really picky about having a nice clean home directory and the program likes to vomit files into it, Flatpak keeps that contained in its sandbox. Not something to worry about for most people though.

Everyone focusing on the font and swearing, but nobody noticed that one of the steps is to remove the battery… Unless it’s a laptop in which case you should unplug it and hold the power button instead.

Ah! Seems it does, but not at Tier 1 or 2. So I guess it could be buggy?

Got curious and looked into it. All the architectures officially supported by Debian are also supported by Rustc.

I guess if you’re a fan of GNU/Hurd it might cause issues?

What do you mean by the “Title Bar”? The thing at the top that says the window name? Not sure if there’s a way to remove that, sadly.

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong (I’m only half remembering), but don’t you also need as much swap as you do RAM to hibernate?

Vibe management? Is that what they mean by “edge” computing?

Ignoring the fact that nowadays ssds generally outlive their typical use times, how do immutable systems and Flatpak cause more wear compared to regular software updates from apt or whatever?

Users are going to need to tweak and modify system files. You can say as much as you want that they “shouldn’t”, but at the end of the day they may have to tweak something because they have exotic hardware or want to run a specific app.

And the benefit isn’t really that great, imo. A random user isn’t going to go poking around /etc and modify files randomly. And if they do, something like timeshift will save them.

My go to recommendation is Mint. When things go wrong or the user needs to do something complex, there are a lot of guides out there for Ubuntu which also work for Mint.

My main desktop is Mint - I feel like most of the random pieces of software I find myself wanting to run are built for Ubuntu or at the very least a lfh distro.

My server and random devices run NixOS, and I’m acrually considering combining all the config into a monorepo…

My Raspberry PI I think runs Raspbian though. I should see if I can nixify it.

Tweaking my various Nix configs feels good and satisfying.

… When it works, that is.

For the lazy:

• Nextcloud
• Jellyfin
• Immich
• Vaultwarden / Bitwarden
• Uptime Kuma
• AdGuard Home
• Homepage
• Monica
• changedetection.io

Seems a decent selection.
