Shysters will always find a way to fleece people.

I was discussing this, not the meme.

Packaging the software in a distro with an installer and a custom DE adds a lot of value.

I'm not familiar with Zorin specifically, but freely distributing source code and charging for binaries was one of the earliest monetization strategies for GPL code.

Dude, I remember a time where buying your distro was the default behavior. There's nothing shady about it.

And people will start listening when said opinions pays their mortgage. Until then "lol, no" will be your answer.

I just said people will go to where they want to go. Did I fucking stutter?

If they want to go to Paris instead of the just as romantic Prague, you don't get a say in it. None of your business.

Stop gatekeeping tourism. "Oh, if you don't live in each city of each country for at least a week, are you even outside your home?" Who TF you think has money for that? People will choose what they want to see. If they stay in one or two cities, they haven't seen enough. If they run through 10 countries in 12 days, it was only a shallow visit. Who can win? Fuck off with that bullshit.

When you're in the pool, there's shrinkage!

This looks like the guy is self-reporting.

Man, the US has a handwriting problem. It sucks sooo much. In other countries it seems to be only doctors, but in the US? Fucking everyone.

And chat. But yeah, no groupware.

Yum username.

This pleb thinks we should listen to them. Frankly, this neighborhood is done for!

I have an always-on 2020-ish corporate desktop with TrueNAS. When idling, that thing is silent. I have to look at LEDs to make sure it's running.

My little dumpster dive NAS made of second hand second rate hardware cab withstand power losses without hitch. You don't need a UPS.

I'd hit TrueNAS forums with that. They should be able to help you diagnose what's up. TrueNAS is pretty reliable, I haven't heard of anything like that happening before.

Nah, you're killing it.

Yup. Seems like just mismatched expectations from OP. I hope to see news from the project, there are a lot of interesting concepts.

I think Activity Pub has a clear leg up in that you can be as decentralized as you're comfortable.

Want to go full one-person instance? You got it. Want to host for your friends and family? Covered. Want to host for the general public? Can do. Don't want to host at all? Pick your open instance and join the fun.

There's also Incus, but if you'll be using your TrueNAS box to host the containers, I suggest you stick to Docker as it's the default. If you're building a second container box, Proxmox, Docker, Podman, and Incus are your best bets. Choose what fits your expertise and needs best.
