She’s giving you the most difficult life lesson. I am almost 40 and to this day I dread to ‘actively hear’ many words my dad has to say about me or my decisions. It’s a difficult lesson because they are our caregivers and as such they did many good deeds. But at some point we need to put our own mental health above anyone else’s rant, rage, or toxicity. We don’t owe them shit. After that leap, you may be able to come back to the issue that they were addressing with their comments and reflect upon the issue itself on your own and/ or with the help of others (friends, therapist, chatgpt?? I wouldn’t recommend the latter but it may be a good starting point and better than nothing…)

We are all victims of Jehova Witnesses, Evangelists, and other religions that take preaching/ contagion as a core value/ sacred activity for their members…

This can mean anything, it’s possible they wanted just 1 platform so that their expertise is focused. And android being a little more open may have been seen (biased) as a disadvantage (i.e. enemies are more prone to find a vulnerability). We can argue with it. It’s like the counterpart of people thinking that open source is per default more safe because of being open source… It’s a correlation that can’t prove anything…

And it mattered to the death person while they still where alive. There’s a tradition and it’s safe to assume we only change it when consent was given previously. Like some people may write in their will if they wanted a poetic or special treatment

Thanks. Sure it is. But I will call this a feature now ;)

So, which one of you is a Libra? Xddd

For some reason, my version of syncthing-fork is old and source is not even on f-droid anymore. Was there any other before catfriend1? Perhaps I downloaded APK from GitHub… Can’t recall.

Owncloud Infinite Scale is a rewrite of owncloud that seems right to me. Hopefully we are going to see something similar. This press release says almost nothing of their plans… to me it’s making them look just worse.

Imho, a Linux phone would help. Banning encryption is only possible because of GAFAM and their tie over “our” devices. Like android phones loosing sideloading. Meanwhile snikket.org would be a very illegal app in such dystopian future.

Arch linux ARM (the base of such steam os) has existed for a while now. Not to diminish Valve efforts, just putting in some context.

Yeah, I was very surprised to see the only upgrade is a generous storage from 512 GiB to 2 TiB… I would rather build my own PC, spend a little extra, cover other needs I have (zfs pool for videos), and get a good GPU that I can always replace for a newer one in a few years… But of course, that’s just me. That new GPU could easily cost as much as the Steam Machine itself, hehe. Of course, it would be way more powerful…

Fwiw, GOG has no DRM for their titles (its own niche space, not competition). Not sure if they charge 30% too, but even in such case they’re giving you more because of the lack of DRM.

Steam is quite virtuous, they gave us Proton. But is far from being based.

I was thinking on hosting a static site, renting my own VPS. I always write in markdown, so pandoc would suffice (even if it were just a starting point…) Since I’d be using markdown, the content is highly transferable (e.g. when I wanted to move onto Publii, Ghost or other engine).

In your case, I’d recommend checking https://writefreely.org/

The goal is on documentation itself. There’s technical stuff that I do, combining the docs of 2 or more software pieces. These don’t have much space anywhere. At some point, I have been doing this with the assistance of AI. That’s why I started to wonder, maybe it’s not worth the effort… But that’s a negative thought I might just put aside. I am very thankful for all the inspiring and motivating answers I am getting here.

self-hosting implies making the service available for yourself with tunnels or port forwards. Yet, I’ve been running searxng container and accessing it via localhost without issues. I could write a guide and share my docker compose file…

And, there’s also that monkey with infectious disease that scaped the crash site of the truck that was carrying them

It’s been communal tradition ever since ThePirateBay got into these “DNS wars” and “Domain switching”. In the end, TPB kind of faded out. But same practice goes for many pirate sites. That’s the point :) so, be aware it’s a great way to find URLs for these o7

Time to migrate? SeaweedFS, RustFS, or Garage https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/ cover the basics and some nice features too AFAIK.

It’s only a financial engineer when the numbers have enough zeroes. Then they get home arrest instead of prison :) we are very tolerant because they are a minority /s

Let’s have the scientists’ and governments’ patents sold to them for pennies!! /s
