I’ve been running straight Ubuntu with ZFS-on-Linux since 18.04, and it has been smooth sailing. If you’re running a lot of containerized things it’s very convenient to just be able to bind mount ZFS dataset into containers.
Normally I prefer CentOS/RockyLinux, or some other EL distribution, but in this case I really appreciate that Canonical isn’t purist enough to ship ZFS as a loadable kernel module that is guaranteed to be in sync with the shipped kernel. And don’t have to deal with DKMS.
I believe this doesn’t apply to the Linux kernel. I mean there is a lot of products that include a Linux kernel and runs proprietary code on top.
I’m not really certain about the legalities, but IIRC it has to do with Linux being licensed under GPLv2 instead of GPLv3(?)
You’re saying this as if there isn’t multiple piles mixed fresh and dirty clothes with an O(n^2) complexity to find something you want.
I personally prefer to have my clothes indexed in an ordered storage so I know exactly which row in the drawers clean shirts are in.
While I would say sending MAC Addresses and Wi-Fi names is very far from tracking everything you do on the internet, this highlight another very important point: The routers that provided by ISPs are usually very cheap and crappy, and this in itself security implications.
Like this example of pulling a script from an unverified HTTP source and executing it as root 🤯… Not to mention that firewalling and port forward configuration options may be pretty simplified and limited.
It’s extremely unlikely that they are going to do any kind of deep traffic inspection in the router/modem itself. Inspecting network traffic is very intensive though and gives very little value since almost all traffic is encrypted/HTTPS today, with all major browsers even showing scare warnings if’s regular unencrypted HTTP. Potentially they could track DNS queries, but you can mitigate this with DNS over TLS or DNS over HTTPS (For best privacy I would recommend Mullvad: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls)
And of course, make sure that anything you are self-hosting is encrypted and using proper HTTPS certificates. I would recommend setting up a reverse proxy like Nginx or Traefik that you expose. Then you can route to different internal services over the same port based on hostname. Also make sure you have a good certificate from Letsencrypt
Imo the biggest problem with Teamspeak is that it still requires an active connection to the server at all time… So unless your computer is on with the app opened 24/7 you may miss messages. That may or may not be an issue, but you may miss messages that your friends send to the group when you aren’t actively online.
Frankly the UI of TeamSpeak is ageing as well, and there is value in for instance being able to simply attach a screenshot directly in a Discord chat without having to upload it to some external service.
It’s the Network effect. At the end of the day, Lemmy is still a lot smaller than Reddit, and of course that means there is less content, especially in more niche communities. The only way to really improve the situation is to grow the network with more users and more diversity.
I feel like the activity level is good enough to use it mostly, but I also still check in on Reddit regarly because some communities are simply very inactive on here.
I guess what you can do as an individual is to post more content, participate in the community, and help spread the word that the fediverse even exists.
It always sounded so ridiculously unlikely, and that I’ve only heard people who definitely is just grasping for arguments never helped either.
Good that there is some actual data on it now
Fair. You are right that the “lesser of two evils” situation is fucking bullshit. To be fair I also think you are also right that a lot of Democrats are on Israels side… but I also think that the Democrats is more splintered internally. Like I would have a hard time seeing any Replibicans joining a free Palestine protest, but I’m sure it’s a lot more popular among Democrat voters.
I also wish that the US, and more countries around the world, would sanction Israel, and they should have done so long ago.
I do not agree that sitting out is the right choice though, and when the choice is between Trump and literally anyone else I think that the lesser evil is clear. You even say yourself that things were better for you before Trump, and I absolutely think that Trump is the worst choice for Palestine. I mean didn’t he literally attack Kamala during the campaign for even a weak protest against Netanyahu? Not to mention him straight up joining Israel in the war against Iran.
The US has always been rather strict with immigration so of course there has always been arrests of people being there illegally, and subsequently somewhere to detain them. It’s not like ICE is a new agency. Also, I believe a key nuance is that there were also an increase of immigrants following Trumps first term, which probably contributed a lot of the overcrowding result from that.
Could they have done better? Absolutely, but at least they’re not actively trying to make it worse.
I guess the main disagreement here is that voting for the Democrats is somehow voting for a genocide. Why do you think that they are openly supporting a genocide? It’s not like they were involved in starting the conflict. Maybe Biden could have done more in his time in office, but if you are not responsible for the issues Republicans cause, why are the Democrats responsible for Israel’s acs?
I guess you’re right though that I am a privileged European that are not really that impacted by the state of the world yet. Though it would have been nice with continued stability in the western world instead of a breakdown of our cross continental alliance. There is also something deeply unsettling about having a probably senile vindictive old man being at the head of the worlds largest military.
Okay, now I know you are arguing in bad faith. This is just a straight up lie. Like I cannot believe the utter stupidity to imply Obama in voting for empowering ICE in an issue that escalated the past year. What relevance can any vote he did a decade ago have to this?
I’m out.
It’s not only about the numbers, it’s about the methods and policies. Obama didn’t send ICE in to target specific cities of political opponents. He did not try to revoke the constitutional birthright citizenship. He did not push ICE to capture and deport people without due process. Under Obama, people didn’t feel like they had to have their passports on them out of fear of getting detained because they looked foreign.
I feel like you’re arguing in bad faith now tbh.
Which Democrats agree with that? Do you have anything to back up that claim?
I don’t see how that is relevant? They’re still both acting on behalf of the Republican party. It’s not like Trump personally is the problem, the whole party agrees with and enables everything he’s doing.
Are you referring to that ICE had Detention facilities before Trump? Of course they did, but did Obama and Biden pack them so full of people that the conditions were near as bad? Not to mention ”Alligator Alcatraz” which is a clear escalation and seems very designed to be cruel.
I think maybe the question is what you think the Democrats have done to make you think they would make the situation worse for Palestine?
Like, my point is that the situation would at worst be the same with the Democrats in charge, but at least you wouldn’t have concentration caps at home.
Everything that happens makes a whole lot more sense if you view Trump as the anti-Christ, and his following is the false prophets that I believe the Bible specifically warns about. (but to be fair I’ve mostly read condensed summaries on this)
This is case in point though, there’s no way a new Linux user is even going to consider that there is a choice of desktop environment. Of course different distributions is going to be the first one comes across as the most direct analog to Windows/macOS.
