Anyone has a tldr?

If you do not have an argument to make or anything of value to add, please stop replying to my comments or I will ignore them going forward.

The "app", as you call it, only subscribes to the services provided.

And?

any features you described are on the server side (as to your post title)

None of the features I described (the interface) are on the server (the interface).

If you think otherwise, you'll have to prove it to be taken seriously :)

You are asking about the server

I am not. Again, please refer to the first three words in the body of post. In general, I urge you to read posts before you respond to them.

Why else would you post in "self-HOSTED". Applications aren't hosted.

it's in regards to a self-hosted xmpp server.

But I thought slackware installs the entire repo by default. Is that not very much bloat?

Is my summary here correct?

• slackware installs all software in its repos by default.
• there's no package management or dependency resolution. If you want to delete something, or install something, you do that on your own

Monocles looks really nice! I'll try it out, it may be exactly what I need. Thanks :)

You are asking about the server, not the apps.

No. Please refer to the third word in the body of my post, which spells "app".

This is another "I WANT EVERYTHING FOR CHEAP!" post

Where? I am not seeing what you're seeing. Feel free to quote my post to show where this is, and please demonstrate how it is "i want everything for cheap!" in all caps.

Telegram client is open source, and there are many forks of it with enhanced features (forkgram, nekogram, etc.)

My setup was really weird. I was running it under a network namespace. Maybe that's why? The app would run like normal, but it would not successfully create any connections. I replicated the same setup on glibc and it worked.

I agree, I organized the post wrong. Void should've been up, but it's also a notable mention that I can't write a lot about since I did not do too much with it.

Bunch of random small things gave me issues. Sdkman (kinda like a Java version manager) and transmission on arm64 on wireguard would not work either.

It has a lot more support than you think. As a gentoo user, I am jealous of nixos often seeing more support than gentoo, when gentoo is older and seemingly easier to support. But nix seems to have a bigger hype nowadays.

The thrilling thing about arch is you get to put together your own user land applications, especially things that could form your desktop environment, audio stuff, etc.

I agree it is not that complicated. If you want more thrill, here is what I recommend:

gentoo Linux

has the option to compile everything from source. This isn't just for bragging rights. This resolves a whole class of software breakages that can happen on other distros (especially when using old or less common applications).

• It gives you the option (emphasis on optional) to use openRC, an alternative to systemd.
• patch any software super easily, working nicely with the system
• customize compile flags on a global level
• have package manager manage software that isn't available in repos, or easily write a package script for it (technically AUR can do this, but gentoo more powerful)
• works like a charm with heavily customized setups, such as musl, or less common architectures like arm or risc-V

NixOS

Takes it a step beyond gentoo and uses a functional, lazy approach in package management. Every package is fully reproducible, has a kind of isolated environment. Your entire setup is reproducible and declared with a single file.

---- below this line is torture. Not recommended

slackware

Idk how it works exactly, but package management looks like a manual pain

Linux from scratch

A book where you create your Linux installation from scratch, compiling every single component until you reach a working system

Notable mentions

• Alpine Linux: uses musl and busybox by default. Extremely lightweight. Some things will not work, but you get the thrill of running a couple MB distro
• void Linux: ok I'm tired of writing so I will not explain that one

Probably just as long as the Democratic candidates. They have the track record.

The best parts of Linux involve unpaid community labor, yes, but framework laptop is a for-profit product, so I wouldn't think it applies here.

Unfortunately Arabs are such a miniscule population in the US, no federal or state level politician in the US would care for them.

This is very disappointing. I'm glad lemmy is federated and open source, so that I don't have to endorse or support every single view of the creator to use it.

Nutomic's view is very misguided. The section of the bourgeouisie that expresses support for trans people often do so out of opportunism (though some probably genuinely support it They're human after all). The fact that transphobia is still rampant should be proof of the lack of an "agenda". And what is this agenda about anyways? Acceptance? Or are people really still thinking that there's a push to turn cis people trans the same way we have done the reverse since forever?

The complaint is that people care more about Kamala joining mastodon than actually spending money on mastodon.

Your point is irrelevant. No one insisted that people's money should be used for a purpose other than what they consented (please show me where anyone implied that). No one implied that the money isn't paid for kamala Harris with that understanding. Rather, they are complaining about people following such misguided aims.

Elections where lobbying is rule of law do not have integrity worth respecting.
