That's a good read. But the discussion over the true meaning of open source, foss, libre etc is ongoing and has never been settled so please don't pretend some blog post by richard stallman is the end of the discussion. He's not the one to base your opinions as fact off of. In the first place, open source/libre/foss began largely due to unix v bsd, and opposition to licenses that invite that kind of litigation are properly viewed with suspicion and other even stronger feelings. And it goes without saying that licenses like that are like a landlord promising you he'll fix the shower, get rid of the cockroaches, and fix the leaky ceiling, but only once you've signed the lease.

Aside from that, I'm sure you're aware of how trendy it is to be open source, and how lots of vaporware companies start off with licenses just like this, go proprietary, enshittify and quickly die off, leaving a community built software in the hands of vulture capital.

So it's a good read but it's not the last word, nor does it speak to the actual heart of the discussion

Shit, it'd take me days if not weeks to get my windows install set back to how I have it. Well, I'm guessing you have a better system than I for reseting your OS from scratch.

I got set up with one today! Huge thanks for the tip. I would've overlooked it because I didn't know about the ampere instances. Ridiculously powerful. And the physical server is like, 4 hours from me.

Woooooosh!

this is the dumbest fucking analogy I've ever heard. yes, Linux is the equivalent of letting people break your windows and stab you with the broken glass. A tier brain rot take

It's definitely FOSS. (Fake Open Source Software)

Especially considering they were injecting affiliate links/replacing affiliate links with their own, everything they do should be seen through that lens. They literally thought it was either OK to do which means that behavior like this is going to happen and keep happening with them, OR they thought they could get away with it which ends up with the same result.

They said they've been working on it for at least a year so not having a proper license can only mean the license will get more restrictive.

Ross man has some really good takes. He’s also kinda annoying and also has some total shit takes. This video was alright but I don’t expect this to last very long. It seems a little sus tbh. Also like others have pointed out, it’s not really open source. That said it’s cool that you can view the source code online.

Oof. Sounds really stressful. I hope you figure this out. Try installing refind and running “refind-install”. It searches your system for bootable disks and gives you a big menu to choose from.

Right on, thanks, I’m gonna give this a shot!

Alright, thanks for the help!

Of course I didn’t just give up. I’d rather a free option than a paid one but thems the breaks. Good for you though, sounds like it just worked.

It’s Mexico. The ISPs incredibly worthless and corrupt

My ISP doesn't support IPv6.

is that just the free tier? I'll have to test this out!

edit: no luck with zero tier. Has the same issue as tailscale but i don't think they have relays in case it can't make a connection. It's just timing out.

Sweet! I'm going to put in my list to check out.

Oh shit O_o. That could easily do everything I need my VPS to do but better. That sounds ideal, I'll have to look into that.

No, they're extremely closed up. You have to buy an enterprise package for that

Nope, tailscale ping can't establish a direct connection and trying to access the NAS is pretty much impossible.
