  • You don't need servers to have freedom in your computing, just do things locally on your computer. Even phones are surprisingly capable. For a great starting point, I'd recommend F-Droid (AppStore) in GrapheneOS (Android minus the Google viruses), Super easy to set up, and it gets you everything you need. Well, at least for me. There is also a good website called alternativeto.net, If you're searching for software on a normal computer.

    Edit: Plus, if you use Aurora (google play store access programme) with your Google ID, you have access to every paid program on your phone. Also, if you're an EU citizen, they can't ban you because they have been ruled a gatekeeper thanks to the DSA and DMA. MicroG, as far as I've read about it, since I don't use it, is only needed for Google Apps, so if you don't use them, why bother?

  • Everyone has been there, including you and me. How is our community supposed to grow if they constantly get chastised for mistakes of the past? If we value freedom in computing, shouldn't we help others get there as well, instead of being purists about it?

  • Why? Let me tell ou something (compassionists hate this simple trick). As a relativist egoist it's so much easier. Do what you want to do, morality is a spook anyway. Want to bin a baby? Go for it! Want to introduce new DNA sequences in fertile humans? Do what you feel like doing. As long as you can exploit the consequences for your own gain. Life is just so much easier this way. /s

  • The two biggest benefits are that it's basically a finished implementation of btrfs (see data corruption in large pools and raid 5 and 6), as well as being able to encrypt and compress at the same time.

    Plus, and I don't know if this is a ZFS-specific thing, being able to group disks into VDevs and not just into one big raid.

  • Oh dear, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I genuinely wish that people would stop using these pushover licenses. I thought it was like the LGPL, but sadly it isn't. At least the base remains free though.
