For Arch, I’d go with something like EndeavorOS. The installation is easy for someone who knows what a file system or software repository is and I absolutely loved that you can install a bare bones system: just the desktop and almost no apps and you can go from there and install what you like (I wish fedora offered this).
I ended up not using Arch/Endeavor because of rolling releases and I found the AUR dangerous. I mean, its not dangerous, but anyone can put anything on there and its your job (and the communities) to make sure its good. I think a “build all the software yourself” is a great philosophy, but it only fits computer geeks (and I mean this in a good way). We cant all be Richard Stallman. I think for somethings, I can accept an “arbiter of software” who curates what gets on the repo and what doesn’t and that its shared via compiled binaries instead of code.

Fedora’s philosophy is free software only. So vanilla Fedora ships with FOSS only. Imo, they’re really good at this, but I personally couldn’t live with that. The community maintained fusion repository is essential because of Nvidia drivers and full ffmpeg. Steam is in a separate non-free repo as well.
Other than than tidbit, Fedora is easy to install, well maintained, has a large community and wide third party support (as in software devs often build “native fedora” binaries available on their repo).
I prefer it to any other Fedora based distro, but for the reason above, it may not be best suited for the average lemming.

Its only office.

Not all data is equal. I backup things i absolutely can not lose and yolo everything else. My love for this hobby does not extend to buying racks of hard drives.

I figured as such when I noticed, on multiple occasions, prices for random products would just suddenly change, multiple times a week for different people I knew. And also how seemingly multiple different pages for the same product were available with a word switched here and there… friends got product page 1, I got product page 2. Same product different price. Amazon always seemed shady to me and was kinda surprised it was always the go to online store for people.
I could never trust a price on amazon, even though they were always almost always cheaper than local alternatives.

Caching. I’m guessing they download the internet to large storage arrays and then run neural network learning on them. Its probable they download all videos too and transcribe them later. So its not so much used for hosting content, but for teaching models.

Heh same here. I’m missing so many toolbars I regularly use in VS. I do use VScode at home but I’m always at a loss on how to do something.

The thing about CLI is that everything is hidden by default. You come to the application with your own mindset and a goal in mind and you figure out how make it do what you want.
When there’s a GUI, you often see everything that’s possible from the start and so the application dictates how you use it.

Though, you can do either with CLI and GUI as well. That’s the sweet spot I think is the best. I love it when a CLI app guides the user through a process and gives options. And a good GUI should disable OK buttons and show validation errors if not everything is entered correctly.

In a perfect world, every app has a CLI mode, interactive and non interactive and a GUI mode with full validation and responsive UI changes. But realistically, good UX is what we need, either GUI or CLI.

Cost me 200eur towards the end of 2023. Crazy, I’d sell it if I didn’t need it.

They probably will when the steam store turns to shit, valve stops supporting Linux and making hardware they want, stops doing family sharing, and pretty much removes everything from the steam client except the store.

You have to admit, valve has a pretty good reason to be liked by consumers.

It reeks of “manufactured organic content” if that makes sense. This may not have been OPs intention, but it kinda checks those marks:

• post content, praise it, don’t mention you make and sell it
• another user finds out you make and sell it, posts store link
• post disguised as advert, manufactured organic conversation around the product creates an effective advertisment

It leaves a bad taste in my mouth because this is what modern advertising is and I prefer to have full transparency. A disclosure in the post would have been nice. Again, I’m not saying this was OP’s intention, it just hits the same points.

I got them from Etsy

Ugh… just say you made them if is your shop… this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, even if the product looks nice…

There are no valid assumptions for port 80 imo. Unless your software is literally a pure http server, you should assume something else has already bound to port 80.
Why do I have vague memories of Skype wanting to use port 80 for something and me having issues with that some 15 years ago?
Edit: I just realized this might be for containerized applications… I’m still used to running it on bare metal. Still though… 80 seems sacrilege.

I knew HTTP would make a return without its brother TLS someday!

I mean yeah, I get that… but why would I believe that? Its trivial to add a label in an app and make it say that. I’m questioning trust here. My question should have rather been: why do people trust Meta will do exactly what they say? Its Meta, that immediately sends alarms to my brain saying to stay cautious. Like I said, there’s no way to verify what that piece of text says and the people who would be interested in e2e encryption are also that kind of people who should know what a trusted authority is.

No :/ my server will probably die with me. My people are going to complain why homeassistant isn’t working, why automated lights don’t turn on and why nothing has been added to the plex library in forever. Just not sure who they’ll complain to lol.
At the end of the day, its my hobby and they’ll just have to live with how it was before. The hardware will be there if anyone wants to start up their own thing, but I don’t see it happening.

I never used WhatsApp, but what made people think they used e2e? I’m way passed blindly believing what any company says they do without proof. I’d expect some kind of key or certificate management in the app, is that present?

Heck… my default is still to think every website does plaintext password storage. I can’t prove it, but neither can they. Stop storing my passwords in plaintext lemmy! /s

From shit to fantastic.

I am puzzled… you present a picture of a human skeleton, yet omit the -h flag.
