Debian’s footguns are better documented and are generally there for good reason. Ubuntu’s footguns are there because “fuck the user”.

I love 11ty, I build my blog with it.

The bad thing I mentioned is the loss of our individual control on our lives, things that most countries have enshrined in their constitutions: self-determination, the right to relatively good health, the right to control our lives. These things have eroded away in a terrible and malignant way.

You can quite comfortably exist in the digital space and access everything you need via others if you want.

I can, you can, and several others here can… But it is hard fucking work, and it’s a conscious choice we make against the current. Most ppl don’t care.

When you don’t participate in normal activities like Instagram, LinkedIn, etc, you can see the eyerolls.

It galls me very bitterly that I, who once championed Google and other online services, who lived online and used internet services and was at the forefront of technology use, am now forced to actually retreat from these parts of what is now called daily life just so I can live with myself.

The bad thing has happened.

We should not be the ones made to feel out of place for assuming that our data should be ours. We should be more outraged that companies can create apps to control our bed temps and just shut the service down without notice, or go bankrupt and sell the data to someone we don’t know or consent to, or create a new subscription model to heat our fucking car seats.

If there is some ambiguity to you about whether the bad thing has happened, start asking yourself why Signal, the “beacon of privacy” had some services fail during the aws outage.

Yeah, I don’t like the reliance of tailscale on servers and peering points out of my view.

Manual wireguard for me.

I hate the connotation that anyone who self hosts is a “prepper”, because it implies the bad thing hasn’t happened yet.

We are losing. Self hosting is just clawing back what little we can.

worry about socialists

A uniquely American perspective, but I get what you’re saying.

I use the fmd app, I had no idea I could self host the server!

Ah, I see.

Why? I don’t think any part of uptimekuma relies on aws…

+1 for CWA

Building out ansible.

Now it’s creating roles and groups, adding a few items to the hardening playbook, and I’ve been playing with tuning the output as playbooks run.

Sir… Unless you are on gnu herd or on 100% open hardware, you are also using proprietary drivers and software.

As I said, not all Linux is oss.

I’m not following. Are you suggesting the subject of android doesn’t belong in this instance of Linux on Lemmy?

Sorry, what is the relevance here?

Not everything Linux is oss

Whoah, good initiative!

If you’re looking for any help, I’m willing.

I’m a Tempo user, and I love it.

If I’m understanding correctly, you are simply carrying on the dev work from Antonio Cappiello?

I’ve been through this, and they all suck.

I’ve been using an MT1064 - based one with an 8087 connector to save the wear and tear of multiple connectors. It’s definitely a better physical connection, but the performance is abysmal.

Whatever it is you’re referring to here certainly doesn’t change the fact that the FSF sucks at marketing.

In our current economic philosophy, yes.
