As someone that uses FreeBSD as its main server, it’s kinda the other way around haha

Cheese bread

Wait and see you distrohopping every month for years ending up in a boring stable distro.

In Brazil I only see more and more places adopting it, does not seem a failure

Prime, Spotify, YouTube, Netflix. Also pay for Twitch

What do you use as a Google Photos replacement?

To be honest, no. I run in a Truenas Jail, and its stable for me. Just a bit slow for big files sometimes.

It uses activity pub, a protocol that allows servers to share content. So when you post on an instance, it became available for other instances to consume your content.

About slowness, it can be that your instance it being rate limited, or it is not powerful enough to process all its users. You can try another instance.

2024 will be the year of ARM on desktops!

I host it in a Truenas BSD Jail, and the process was as straightforward as compiling and running any other Rust / Postgres project. Which error did you get?

Another option is SearXNG. It’s meta search engine, which means that it aggregates other search engines like Google and Bing but without tracking or logging, because your searches are proxied using a public instance, that will mix your search with the ones from other people.

And about default search engine, don’t know what you’re talking about, both chrome and Firefox allows this, in mobile and desktop.

Maybe ask suggestions to chatgpt?

I think the point is too many users following threads users as is it more likely to find a friend there than on Fediverse for example. Which will require more compute resources and storage

If you remove the app-platform role from Nextcloud by separately hosting the individual apps, what benefit do you get from having both Nextcloud and File Browser?

Nothing really. For almost any Nextcloud feature out there, you can find a server app that does the same.

But that’s the point in my opinion. I don’t want to waste time managing tons of apps if I can manage one Nextcloud instance. Nextcloud basically decides for me what’s the best way to get those features running, so I don’t need to figure out myself.

Now if you’re into self hosting one container for each feature, go for it, no reason to not do so.

I bought one from Dell and everything worked without any tweaks. It was a great out of the box experience.

I started with a pi 4 and it worked really well!

I think the key here is to favor stability than latest features as you don’t want your server stopping due to bugs.

So the systems being recommended here, like Debian and Ubuntu LTS are good.

Sorry, I’m not following you. We’re discussing if deregulation is always bad or not, and my point is that it can be bad in excess.

The article points to some corruption that happened at the time, which is correct, but it does not discuss anything about the benefits (or lack of it) for the end user after the deregulation.

If we could prove that if we kept excess regulation in the market as it was before, people still could have access to telecommunication as we have today, my point should be wrong. But its not the article discussion or what you’re saying now.

Notice that I’m not defending 100% deregulation, even in the Brazilian example the market is still regulated today, just way less than it was 20 years ago. If we have no data caps for residential internet around here, its because of a regulation, not companies good faith for example.

Out of curiosity I asked chatgpt to list examples similar to the Brazilian one and it listed a few:

United Kingdom - Energy Deregulation Japan - Rail Deregulation New Zealand - Telecommunications Deregulation Australia - Banking Deregulation Sweden - Postal Service Deregulation

Truth is, its really hard to prove that something “is always” good or bad, as it will need to go over all cases and prove the point one by one. Normally economic discussions are applied to a society or sector, so we could say “in the US deregulation is often bad”, which is much more fair and easy to prove.

So can you explain for this specific case how other factors influenced in a way that the deregulation was still bad for the end user?

I mean, you said that deregulation has no benefits, I just gave you an example that disagrees with your idea. It does not matter other Brazilian problems in this context, I could take any example of any place to prove my point.
