The attack surface yes, but not the attack volume. No matter if the app is containerized or native, it has access to the data that it has to operate to. That’s literally part of computer nature.

But a containerized app, assuming the container service itself is kept up to date, has less hooks to break into other stuff than a native app does. For starters, a native app can read everything that’s world-readable, which in a shared system might be lots of stuff but in a containerized app might be quite minimal.

Two out of three. I read the post and that’s exactly what the admins of F.O say will do. It’s them who are stirring up shit.

You don’t, or you wouldn’t have asked that. If your excuse to not eat food is that “it’s not digested yet”, that’s the problem eating the food helps solve in the first place.

Or go be a chick of bird. You get pre-digested food for free.

Matrix

I think you mean XMPP! I recomend you mean XMPP.

name the thing “inline style”

Pretty good catch there!

Other than that while the overall idea sounds good, there are a few concerns, I’d like to have your feedback on these even if it’s not a definitive word - sometimes, “I don’t know” is the correct answer!

.it

that .it domain is kinda worrying given their recent stance on blocking or deleting parts of the internet to support the shareholders. Well, at least it’s not Spain, but do keep an eye on that.

The idea is to keep it sustainable with a simple support plan (€1.90/month)

Are there any considerations towards a one-time life payment on the horizon? It’s what ultimately drew me to SDF compared to the rest of the enshittifying internet, and they do provide similar services to what your roster seems to be so far.

May I recommend also Cryptpad? From my understanding NC+Collabora is a PITA to set up and prone to random failures (tho I would disclose the last time I tried the combo myself was on 2022). Cryptpad, while a lot simpler and less-featured, provides a leaner experience that approaches that of eg.: a pastebin.

Some comments have mentioned chat. A XMPP server, like Prosody or ejabberd, is quite cheap and simple to run compared to “nu-protocols” like Matrix, and without having to go too far back into the 90s with something like IRC. Has good support for clients across the board as well, on Linux, Android, web, etc.

Other than that the only differentiating factor I could think of offering that I have seem almost no one else do, is some sort of “math service”, something like an Octave or Maxima online if such thing exists, or like what Wolfram Alpha has online, where people can run calculations, plot function graphs, perhaps with support for spreadsheets and charts too, which would also function as an alternative to google charts and the like.

Pretty much anything so long as Palworld doesn’t have 1.- a backbone and 2.- a dictionary at hand. Because it is as simple as finding a picture of any of a long list of animals that can glide, state the words “previous art” and they should be free from this ridiculous demand.

Mechanics that already exist in nature should not be copyrightable. Can you imagine if the first videogame company ever patented “character walking”?

Then again, maybe there are ways to make that burden smaller.

Yes: encode on lower resolutions.

Most of the videos on Youtube don’t ever need to be 4K. They don’t even need to be 1080p. Heck, most don’t even need 720p! Things like music videos, where what’s important is the music, orthings like old TV broadcasts or play rips of old consoles, where the source barely gets to 360p, can be encoded to 360p or even 244p without any suffering (I played Monster Hunter on the 3DS for years and I can attest 244p can do great works of magic).

This mixes wonderfully with Peertube’s idea about hosting your own instance. If you are hosting your own video storage, you’ll want to maximize the amount of stuff you can throw into it. If someone complains that your videos aren’t 1080p, tell them to go to /donate.php and do their part.

I think you didn’t get my point. I meant in Windows I have to install the printer, but in Linux I can’t even do that because Linux is too good and handles the printing perfectly for me.

That said if what you are suggesting is we could create issues in relevant repos to make the hardware install process in Linux more… interactive like it is in Windows, with an assistant that tries in vain to download drivers from the internet, a “shield” that asks you to load the drivers from a floppy disk A:\ and that needs a hardware reboot every time you plug in a new USB mouse… hmmm… maybe you are on to something.

, but we need to come to grips with the usability issues.

That’s understandable. The last time I was able to install a brand printer successfully without issues in Windows was back then in Windows 7. In comparison, Linux doesn’t even let me try to install the printer. I just plug them in and they’re ready and they work. How can I fix this???

As an ESL, I thought that was “narcs”?

Lembipie. What else?

(And why does this particular subset need a name, anyway? The plus combo is easier to get the point across with)

Alpine? How does it do? I’ve heard it’s pretty good for containers but at the same time some reasonable complaints for end-user workflows such as “it doesn’t even have locales”.

, and my rebuttal is “should we ban mute, or speech-impared people from getting a CDL”?

Well those people are already Undesirables under the rule of el trumpo, so their answer is… yeah?

In this economy???

I understand the concern to be honest. The problem here is that when someone is a bigot and they are at least reasonable enough to walk themselves out, the response of the community is to stain everyone else by association.

Trust is not associative, and tbh distrust probably should also not be.

Considering that from my own experience systemd tends to increment boot times by a factor of about 20x due to insisting about things like raising a wifi interface that won’t ever connect because you’re later on supposed to plug in the wifi password (no save to store), which is an outright historic systemd problem, I wonder: is systemd-anamyze blame at least honest enough to recognize the fault is in its own design, or will it always blame it on something else in the system?

For me it’d be two aspects:

1. lack of knowledge and clarity whether my use case is affected and to what degree.
2. worry over the extra operational overhead.

For (1), it’s not necessarily about the explicit workflow, like the GUI apps and stuff; but also the implicit workflow as well: the stuff going on with the machine because you are not touching it (even if it is because you’ve touched it before).

Some examples. I need to forbid PA and have either ALSA or Pipewire (or both) with alsa-ucf disabled because of a hardware bug in my machine’s audio chipset. I can one-time accommodate the required kernel boot time options and ALSA configs without issue on Debian, can I do that on an immutable? Am I forced to the barely-progressing-past-failure that is wayland, or can I use the Xorg setup that has for decades proven to me to work? Do I get to escape the enforced GTK compose key mapping on my own, or do I need to break immutableness to fix it? Can the programs that I launch through wine on the user account I set up for work, interact with the apps I have on my normal user’s desktop (incl. copy-paste, desktop screenshots, sending global key events for stuff like Teamviewer, Supremo, Anydesk), or do I need to fall back to a Virtualbox VM?

And for (2), it’s quite simple. I have a 8 GB RAM machine. I’m barely managing to survive this world of nu-web development where hello world apps download 150 MB of a typokit SDK from Cloudflare or something. If an immutable environment means that everything even the Linux equivalent of W95’s notepad.exe is now containerized, that’s an extra memory and resource overhead that my system likely can not serve and that I don’t really have an use for anyway (why would I want a text editor to not load up a text file I told it to load???).

is a dead suffix

sure, if you go with that attitude!

Furthermore, it should be pronounced like it was a Greek philosopher.
