  • I've heard (but not been able to verify) that it's less secure, somehow. Although I would imagine the containerization would, somehow, mitigate this.

  • I've been trying Bazzite out for a few days, and it's really neat. Coming from a standard distro, I like the idea that I can install pretty much anything with the combo of Flatpak, AppImages, and Distrobox. I was unable to install DaVinci Resolve on the Fedora Distrobox however, and the lack of Snaps - although I much prefer Flatpaks or AppImages - kinda sucks because it would be nice to have the Snap for Flutter...

  • This reminded me that I wanted to look into open source alternatives to Bionic Reader...

  • Marxists in authoritarian left

    Which Marxists are you referring to? You'll find a lot (likely the majority) of socialists and communists in the bottom left corner. Put a picture of Stalin up there and rewrite it as either "Tankies" or "Stalinists" and you'll be much more accurate.

  • I've no idea what you're referring to aside from maybe the Intel ME, but there may be a way to flash coreboot on it.

  • I've seen a lot of descriptions of Tailscale but still have no idea what exactly it does. I get that it uses Wireguard, but what differentiates it from a typical VPN setup? NAT traversal?

  • Do you happen to have a Matrix or Discord server set up to talk about development? I'd love to help out if I can.

  • Went to check out the source code for the front-end and see if there was anything I could help out with... Saw it was made with Angular.

    oh no

    (Congrats on integrating Fedi into it!)

  • I use GrapheneOS. It is unable to access the Internet entirely.

  • I use it alongside SwiftKey (with Internet access disabled). It's a godsend in Termux.

  • Have you looked into either Obsidian or Logseq?

    Obsidian is not open source, but uses Markdown for notes just like Logseq. Very popular overall.

  • Thanks for the in-depth response! I definitely understand choosing Python for a fledgling project like this and trying to attract a developer community.

    As for my musing about C and Python, I wasn't really talking about Cython or anything like that; I actually meant that I figured the specific code in the Python standard library and various frameworks for server applications were written under the hood with C and heavily optimized.

  • Always happy to see a new Fediverse service!

    My only concern is Python. Wonderful for AI and scripting, but I'm not sure how well it works as a web server. Although, I'd assume that a lot of the web server code is actually C under the hood...

  • Interesting idea. Personally, I would like to see larger groups of admins and server members working together towards common goals and setting common standards - what we have right now is more like a confederacy, not a federation. There is no unifying, governing body made up of representatives from the servers.

  • It's my (fairly uneducated) observation and understanding that liberalism is often significantly more aligned with conservatism than socialism, for example. It's ultimately under the umbrella of ideologies that support and prop up capitalism.

  • May I ask why? Using alternative sources from the vendors themselves usually isn't any less secure than using the official F-Droid repos. It's a common thing on Linux.
