If there’s an article with words, can you pass it along? I’m not inclined to go on a Google website and listen to someone slowwwwly tell me why Google is bad.

Life’s too short to listen to people who talk slow.

Yeah.

A headphone jack and a Qi charging rig are my anchor features. Without them, a candidate phone does not exist.

Yes, technically it’s still on the tiny screen of your phone with a really bad ux to make it go, sure. But you see how ‘went away’ is both true for web and effectively true for phone app? You do see that, right?

Pixelfed? That’s an IG emulant. What about Friendica? Do they have groups?

They have a really good racket going on and want to make sure people keep giving them way more money than is necessary. It’s simply not true that Infosec.Exchange requires $5000/month to operate unless they’re doing something very wrong or just straight up lying.

Yes, internet rando. I totally believe your solid calculations based on … vibe?

It’s the first time I hear systemd […] were spelling the death of […] linux

Where’ve you been? We’ve been expressing concern about its badly-built badly-architected metastatic creep for a decade of dwindling choice and competition as it slowly forced out dissent and clued concern.

Now it’s eaten autofs, DNS, cron, NTPd, and replaced them with shitty clones, and has carefully eroded our ability to recover from this mess.

System service managers like systemd, OpenRC, runit, or SysVinit often come down to user preference.

And coding best-practice. And a philosophy borne of bad luck and bad software that aims to resist monoculture.

But that lennart kid is cool for a Microsoft employee.

I support ads.

Oh, calm down. I don’t support the ad level of Facebook, nor the targeted ads, nor the algorithm.

And we, as users, get to decide when too many ads are too many, with our feet.

No. Their reward for having users is that they’re in control. Expecting users to then pay them for that control is fucking stupid,

You DO realize that not everyone works to attain power over other people, right?

but I don’t expect most people to realize it.

The reason people don’t realize that site owners’ reward for forking over half a salary in hosting costs for some nebulous power to hold other people in their clutching fists and cackle maniacally is because that’s not the motivator here.

I look forward to when you can see that.

Trolltech made a great phone, apparently.

sudo su -

Fun fact. There HAS been a sploit based on the brief moment you’ve elevated to root before backing down to another account. This should be avoided, and those using it need ridicule for social correction. It’s like people who say ‘emails’ or ‘the ask’: just remind them how dumb they are and maybe they’ll stop.

calm down, Stallman.

sudo su -

Race conditions are neat.

Flatpaks are a really bad idea.

Docker free version?

Please, for the love of god, look at other things instead of Ansible.

Definitely do openTofu for infrastructure and deployment, but for configuration of VMs please learn about puppet, saltstack, chef(cinc.sh) and especially mgmtConfig .

Ansible, by comparison, better matches what we were doing in 2002 at 1/10th the speed, and it’s like pascal levels of wordy.

Learning about options and finding one that works well for you will often give you a much better experience than fucking Ansible.

If you do abandon all hope, though, then go ahead and do Ansible; but remember if you do: there are better options, and hating Ansible doesn’t mean you hate automation.

Is immich still container-dependent?

a software

Nope. That word doesn’t work like that.

I maintained an open-source app for many years. It leveraged a crypto library but allowed for different algos, or none at all for testing.

Some guy wrote a CVE about “when I disable all crypto it doesn’t use crypto”. So there’s that. It’s the only CVE we got before or during my time.

But even we got one.

For those unfamiliar, Open WebUI is a self-hosted AI interface, which you can use with local models with Ollama, OpenRouter, etc.

How is this simple summary missing from the project page itself? Was that so hard?
