I've been using Linux (and UNIX) professionally since the kernel version started with a "1." I have no need to try to prove anything to you. Linux has installers other than just those invoked by a package manager, and it is laughable that you claim otherwise.

Linux doesn't have "installers" as Linux uses package managers. The only way you can get malware is if you manually add a bad repo.

Are you really serious making this claim? lol.

Malls are dying. There are way fewer now than there were a decade ago.

Okay. OP still shouldn't use it for sharing media.

I got to heckle the Westboro Baptist Church who were protesting at Obama's first inauguration. They made the mistake of impeding VIP traffic and the Capitol Police rounded them all up. Good times.

I won't repeat their chants here, though, given the content.

Have you looked at the size of most apps recently? 350mb is slightly on the big side, but nothing crazy.

I would love to hang up without a goodbye, but then people are just going to call me back because they'll think the call dropped. After a couple of those awkward interactions, I would quickly switch back to some sort of affirmative close to the call.

To be fair, those actors are generally adults.

Variable density would be a really convenient (but weird) super power

I almost walked out of Love and Thunder because of this. It's so fucking obnoxious.

Nice. I need a new peeler soon and most of my best knives are Victorinox. Their paring knives are pretty well made as well.

re: your edit, I thought lemmygrad was created as literally the politics forum for lemmy.ml (which is the instance run by lemmy devs)? that's my understanding from reading comments, though no special knowledge of the situation. It seems like most of the tankie takes I see are from lemmy.ml users now that lemmygrad.ml is defederated from lemmy.world.

it quickly becomes a dick measuring contest and shunning people for using different things. It becomes very black/white views, and have some crazy out of touch takes

In other words, it's just like literally every online community in the history of the Internet. When Sir TimBL created the first web page, people probably used it to bitch about how everyone else was doing it wrong.

From the description, it seems to all be things I usually disable manually. So yes, at a glance they are just disabled

Pocket is an add on for storing articles to read later. Used to be a separate product, but Mozilla bought them and integrated it into Firefox.

It's a privacy oriented fork of Firefox. Removes telemetry, pocket button, sync to cloud, etc.

https://librewolf.net/

This project is a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom.

LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM.

My webcam has a built in physical privacy slider

I make a flap out of gaffer's tape for any device I use without a built in physical cover for the webcam

Most guides are for the initial setup, so if you are not starting from scratch, YMMV.

This is the one that put me on the right track, but it's for older version of Ubuntu, so it's not exact step-by-step because it's old.

https://bayton.org/docs/nextcloud/installing-nextcloud-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts-with-redis-apcu-ssl-apache/

A more updated guide to the same basic setup, but i've never used it so I can't vouch for whether it is accurate:

https://www.knthost.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-memory-caching-with-apcu-and-redis

(edit: I just checked and it is accurate, but it just hand-waves away the redis setup. which is not insignificant)

Here is the NC docs page.

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/caching_configuration.html

Note: If you are short on RAM or want the simpler version for home/lan use, you can just set up APCu and get a decent performance boost. I got better performance with both: APCu for file locking along with redis for memcaching. But setting up both will be a bit more complicated to setup and maintain.

Six months ago, I was exactly where you are, but updating host OS, then updating Nextcloud to 27, and setting up memcaching worked great for me. Get everything updated before doing the setup, though, or you'll break shit and have to troubleshoot.

It can be slow out of the box, but if you set up locking/memcaching (I use APCu+redis), it's way faster.

I get not wanting to mess with it though. I was at that point until I got more free time. Now I have mine running smoothly, but I had to put in maybe 10 hours to iron out all the things, although that includes upgrading the host OS because it had gotten old. If I had a full time job, I'd probably just pay for a fully hosted NC.
