It never had a chance. There’s no way to make profit selling ads and user data and have it be decentralized. They are conflicting goals.
I’m not saying there aren’t other ways to make a profit on a decentralized platform, but they never said they had any other business model, so we had to assume that the traditional one was it, and we were right.
Caveat, any reputable brand of thermal paste is basically the same. I’ve experienced many cheapo brands, especially stuff included with cheapo hardware, that had texture issues or nearly liquefied at high temperatures and made a mess. Also, had one that evaporated partly and tested positive for lead, so not the most healthy. Though one time is not a big deal, it is a big deal if you used it a lot.
Anyway, stick to reputable brands and most are the same. Slight differences are usually in max temperature, but that doesn’t really apply to computer hardware much, but does affect some other moderately high temperature hardware that needs even cooling that I work with, like 3D printing.
It’s not that kind of breaking change. It’s a change that won’t affect most people. Only those who chose to use a custom location for their media location and chose to set that to a relative path instead of an absolute one which caused the application to have trouble resolving the paths. The change eliminates a bug by preventing people from doing something that was not intended to be supported. So it’s not a “breaking” change necessarily in the sense that they are changing documented functionality. They are eliminating a way that people can misconfigure the application which may in some cases cause the application to break if someone successfully configured the application in this unintended way.
Yeah iOS is weird about background processes and some versions are bad about killing parts of apps but not informing the app it was killed when restoring the state of the main process. One reason I personally don’t develop my stuff for iOS. It requires a lot of extra code to deal with the disparate ways in various versions that coming back from being in the background requires. Since just restarting everything can be frustrating to users.
It’s a full release, not a point/patch release, the title just doesn’t show the second .0. They use semantic versioning so it’s major.minor.patch.
It’s also a very minor change and only affects a single configuration property and only people who used relative paths in that property.
I had a lot of trouble with keeping the connections stable and having to reatart services with both KDEConnect and Warpinator, but LocalSend has been perfect every time. I’m using a Fedora laptop with a Pixel 7 Pro running GrapheneOS.
This is why I never used their images for any of my projects and do everything I can to use official charts made by the software vendor itself or create my own and put them in my personal git repo for automated deployments.
Any business that gives away middleware for free, likely does that in the hopes of monetizing that pretty directly and eventually will be pressured to increase monetization of those things by those investors or will be forced to stop developing those products due to lack of funding. Middleware really doesn’t have many other good ways to monetize.
But most of those should support booting from USB devices.
I don’t know that very many people would understand the limitations of it just like they didn’t with ChromeOS. Just need a major hardware manufacturer to start putting a Linux distro on their machines and make a more stable application installation system than KDE Discover or shore up Discover a bit and it would be great to consolidate rpm, deb, etc., rather than adding new systems like Snap and Flatpak.
Arch is not recommended for idiots either. If you want cutting edge, you accept the risks. Works that way with all tech.
If you want something similar, you could set up a cheap VPS with your own reverse proxy making sure that all of your connections are secure between the servers and VPS. But it really depends on your situation. If you have an ISP that assigns you a block of static IPv6 addresses, it’s fairly easy to then get a domain and direct based on subdomains to those addresses. I’m not lucky enough to have a halfway decent ISP available in my area, so I can’t get that or even a reasonably priced single IPv4 address for residential service, so I have to make due with dynamic DNS which makes things more complex. I fortunately don’t have an ISP that forces double NAT on me at least. So I have set up a VPS with a reverse proxy and Wireguard VPN tunnel and I use cloudflare as my domain registrar and their DDNS which I update using my OPNSense router which is also the endpoint of the VPN. I’ve been considering moving to hosting headscale on the VPS instead, but haven’t gotten around to it. It really depends on how many servers, his many services, if you have a domain, if you have a VPS or itger server outside of your home network, if your ISP gives static IPs, and you are behind a double nat kind of situation. Also depends a lot on your bandwidth. Having low upload speeds is a common problem especially if you have cable internet service. I’m lucky enough to have symmetrical fiber direct to my modem even if the ISP is way behind and doesn’t offer IPv6 other than 6rd which was meant to be a transitional system like two decades ago and is barely functional.
It’s just a hosted reverse proxy with a proprietary server backend, as far as I can tell. I don’t usually trust “free” things lime that. It’s not that expensive to do it yourself, the real expense come in high bandwidth flowing through the proxy which most self hosted applications for personal use don’t really do.
Anyway, with a reverse proxy on the security end there’s a chance of man in the middle attacks depending on the configuration. And on the privacy end, they will have the ability to log all connections. That may be where they’re planning to make money by selling that info and/or allowing MiTM attacks to inject ads like many ISPs have talked about. But “free” stuff usually isn’t actually free in the long term even if it is now while it’s being tested. Usually just takes a sale to a large corporation for it to become less free even of the original intent wasn’t to do that.
…worse for users. Better for them…in the shirt term. That’s the real issue. Short term Profit overrules everything in modern corporations.
Well, they have to be accused of something to be detained. Immigration violations of some types don’t get a court hearing to be “convicted” of those violations by a judge by default.
Really the first issue is your IP address. How does your ISP hand out IP addresses IPv4 and/or IPv6?
If you have an ISP that gives a static block of IPv6 addresses that simplifies things immensely. But also consider that many legacy, monopoly ISPs have not implemented IPv6 for their customers, especially in the US, and so domains without an IPv4 address aren’t accessible from people’s homes that use those ISPs. But it means you could assign static IPv6 addresses to each service if you wanted to and add subdomains for each. Then you just need to deal with security on that system.
Otherwise you’ll likely need to deal with dynamic DNS. If your router and your domain registrar’s DNS can work together for DDNS that’s ideal. For example, my OpnSense router updates my cloudflare registered domain directly when my ISP changes my IPv4 address (I have one of those ISPs that doesn’t assign IPv6 still but I don’t have any choice if I want > 5-10Mbps upload speeds).
Then you need to deal with routing. The best way is with a reverse proxy like Caddy or I actually like Traefik a lot because it works well with my complex setup with docker and kubernetes among other things. Basically your router needs to route all the inbound traffic on the appropriate inbound ports to the reverse proxy to it to then route to the appropriate service based on the subdomain and/or port of the request.
Once you route the subdomain to the appropriate service you need to deal with security. Once a service is exposed, it’s going to eventually start getting hit by bots trying to access it. Best to implement something like fail2ban to stop them from wasting your processing power with failed logins and 404 errors and such.
I set up separate VLANs for devices that do or don’t get filtering with different DNS servers assigned. And I have two different wifi SIDs on my access point for the different VLANs as well as having ports on my primary switch aligned to one or the other VLAN. I did end up having one other switch that has devices from both VLANs in a different area and had to set up one port on the primary switch with a couple of MAC-based filters for assigning the VLAN for just devices on that remote switch, but those are static devices, so that wasn’t an issue. I don’t attach any other devices to that.
My servers that have been around for a while get thousands of scans per day. In fact I am going to move away from crowdsec because I exceed the free limits on log entries within the first day of the month usually, sometimes just an hour or so. I mean it still works and blocks stuff, but the web portal is basically useless for any research into what I need to give attention to. That and the fact that you can no longer delete decisions on the web portal with the free account.
As others mentioned Esc during boot. You can also configure this in your grub config so you don’t have to hit escape, assuming your distro uses grub. Other boot config options will exist in other systems.
For grub it also depends on the distro as to where it is, but look for /etc/default/grub edit that and on the lone that has GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT remove the quiet and splash options. So if it looks like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash”
change it to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“”
Then run “sudo update-grub2” to make it effective.

Are you wanting something that you don’t have to download from GitHub yourself (so a project that hosts a docker container somewhere and just code is in GitHub is OK), or are you looking to boycott any project that is not boycotting GitHub and so any part of that project should not use GitHub for any code at all in which case possibly even dependencies should not be on GitHub even if they publish their distributions elsewhere? Or somewhere in between?
