Update 2024-04-27: It was suggested in the Discourse thread that I clarify the interaction between the break-even budget and the 1M EUR committed by the STF project. This money is received in the form of a contract for services rather than a grant to the Foundation, and must be spent on the development areas agreed during the planning and application process. It’s included within this year’s budget (October 23 – September 24) and is all expected to be spent during this fiscal year, so it doesn’t have an impact on the Foundation’s reserves position. The Foundation retains a small % fee to support its costs in connection with the project, including the new requirement to have our accounts externally audited at the end of the financial year. We are putting this money towards recruitment of an administrative assistant to improve financial and other operational support for the Foundation and community, including the STF project and future development initiatives.

I hope you too learned alot :) but if I may, I would switch from AdguardHome to Pi-hole.

• pi-hole rocks! :)

If you only access your local domain name inside your LAN and via VPN you can also use Caddy to have local SSL certificates https://caddyserver.com/docs/automatic-https#local-https Have not tried this myself yet but I like the idea of not getting any warnings in browser, and this is safe as long as the Caddy CA root certificate is safe.

        On Reddit: “Windows is being enshitified. How can we cope with it?”
    On Lemmy: “Windows is being enshitified. Good thing we’ve moved to Linux”


  

I think I see a pattern here.

Interesting. I guess it has to do with what you are used to and what feels comfortable.

Linus Torvalds once made this remark :

When you say 'I wrote a program that crashed Windows,' people just stare at you blankly and say 'Hey, I got those with the system, for free.'

If I think back of the days that I was using Linux and I saw friends and family using Windows95 that had just launched (with a massive hype, and using a Rolling Stones song to promote it) the Blue Screen of Death was fairly normal for folks. And they lived with it, and they continued to live with it because they thought that they had no choice, and they were incredibly happy to not having to use DOS anymore. Later some of the folks I knew after having their Windows computer flocked with Windows viruses they bought a Mac, and as a matter of saying, lived happily ever after. Not everyone can afford Macs though.And not every "normie" is ready to use Linux.

Well, yes, that transphobic post was very bad yesterday :( It was one person and the poster got a 30 days community ban on lemmy.world (check the modlog). The copy of the post was gone on lemmy.world but was still visible on lemmy.ml later, downvoted a lot.

Should I feel sorry for Reddit Windows (That OS from Redd...mond, WA,USA) users ? Dunno.

The post title is the title of the blog and I've added the (==Goodbye NixOS) part to show Fediverse readers it is about NixOS. After several people commented, I have, after a suggestion of a commenter, added the tl;dr (written by another person apparently involved in the NixOS drama) in the post body. After all this I prefer to leave the post title as is.

Are you talking about package dependencies that were pulled in after compiling a package from AUR ? As far as I know (I'm not much of an AUR user, except when I quickly want to test some software. Please correct me if I'm wrong) if you normally would run sudo pacman -Syu you can instead of that run sudo yay -Syu (or other AUR helpers that support this) which would update both Arch packages and these from AUR.

Did you look at 32 bit versions of :

• https://www.damnsmalllinux.org/
• https://antixlinux.com/download/
• https://mxlinux.org/download-links/

Yunohost is doing the installation and finishing with having a XMPP and email server, and from there you can install apps on top of that. You can play with Yunohost inside a container if you wanted to but you will have to prepare the proxy in front of it. If you want to try Yunohost the easiest way, rent a VPS for it.

I really with FreeBSD would get a port of Podman and I could just go back to my FreeBSD. My servers are rock solid since they where installed in the FreeBSD 10 days and just keep getting updated with no problems at all

You know about these ?

I feel that that is not what their post was saying.I read it more like the possibility that Mark Zuckerberg would want to talk to the core developer of Mastodon and e.g. buy Mastodon.social, and then when GoToSocial would grow Zuck would want to talk with them as well.I'd be surprised if the GoToSocial software would have Meta Threads blocked by default in their source code.

So I think we will be setting up a fediverse instance for this (Still trying to decide between Pixelfed, Mastodon and Firefish), but,

An alternative for Mastodon or Firefish is GoToSocial Till the end of the year they have two developers working on it full-time.

before that, we need to solve a simpler issue: a Calendar of Events.

• I'd be careful with Nextcloud. It can look very nice from the outside but beware of the hype. If you go read forums posts you will likely see several complaints about how slow it is for some and how buggy some parts of Nextcloud are (Take for example the "suspicious login" app).
• Mobilizon looks nice though I've unfortunately not have had the chance to self-host and try it myself.

Following this conversation and here it was a pleasant surprise to see this pinned post from a GoToSocial developer 🙂

Yes, this is not going well.

Indeed.What a rip-off! :(

Impressive!

t y !

It’s incredible how afraid the shallow people of the world are. One celebrity openly transitions, and yall can never have a functional thought again without your hate.

Hmmm :( looks like I'm not up to date about some celebrities. No idea that the photos were real and the same person. Mind sharing their name or a link ?

Thanks.Done.
