Actually at one point I was pondering making a LLM assisted news website that would be very clear about what is generated, what is not, what were the prompts, what was the process.

I am pretty sure that this is already the case for most of those “online journalism” sites, minus being clear about using AI.

Most of those sites likely take news ticker messages (Reuters, DPA, AP, etc.) and have an AI write a 4 paragraphs article and then their system links certain keyword to advertisements and place advertisement banners around and in between those paragraphs.

If you know that a text has been generated by an LLM, you read it differently

Personally I prefer not to ready any AI generated context except I entered a prompt by and for myself.

Edge cases are not the norm, though.

This is why no-one in the right mind uses Sylpheed, but the actively maintained fork Claws Mail (which just recently had a new version released).

Maybe you can set it up for them? It’s really the easiest way + it does not cost anything that’s not paid for already anyways (electricity and an Internet connection).

Navigating a combination of the distro’s native package manager (apt, pacman, rpm, whatever), snap, flatpack and still having to set up the maintainers’ custom repositories to get stuff that’s even remotely up-to-date somehow

This sounds like a you problem, to be honest. If you want the most up-to-date software, just use a distribution that updates very often or uses a rolling-release concept.

The different UI toolkits, desktop environment, window manager and compositor seem to be fighting each other.

If you use one of them, not that much. If you start mixing them it becomes a huge mess. At one point in time I had Ubuntu installed, running Gnome, but having Openbox as window manager set. It was an absolute mess. Nowadays I think it’s even more of a mess, especially with gnome and this stupid Adwaita library with the stupid CSM.

But I happily ran pure Openbox on X11 for a decade and run labwc on Wayland since ca. 2 years now.

I do a lot of .NET programming and photo editing. I could probably replace VS with VScode or Ryder but it’s an additional hurdle. For photo editing, I haven’t found a single thing that fits my workflow the way Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop do.

Then stick with Windows. Or run this software in VM with GPU pass-through and KVM. I really don’t see an issue here. Use the tool that best fits your needs.

You can selfhost MediaWiki usingntheir official Docker image.

After seven years of active development

I wonder where they got this from. The 2.x branch was first released 21 years ago.

Even if you ignore the recent few fuck-ups Mozilla did: It does.

It sucks less than other non-Chromium browsers, though.

Thunderbird is the only Mozilla product that doesn’t suck!

Have a look at Luakit (but please don’t try to configure it – this is absurd!)

it doesn’t really suit my needs.

What are your needs?

They do it since quite some time now, right?

Also: If someone manages to tamper with the downloadable ISO … they likely will be able to tamper with the signature files, too.

Mmh, okay. So I’ll continue re-downloading videos in non-HDR variants. But good to see it implemented, though.

I’m not following Linux drama, sorry.

So no more dark and dull looking videos?

but I’d like to give Nginx Proxy Manager a try, it seems easier to manage stuff not in docker.

NPM is pretty agnostic. If it receives a request for a specific address and port combination it just forwards the traffic to another specific address and port combination. This can be a docker container, but also can be a physical machine or any random URL.

It also has Let’s Encrypt included (but that should be a no-brainer).

I run my website as static site from within a Docker container, I wonder how I would get the information about the other containers into that site.

Do you directly serve that site from the host or do you run the script and write something in a volume the site has read access to or bind a file?

If your company goes full-on Microsoft cloud (including OneDrive), maybe try logging in on https://www.microsoft365.com/ with your corporate account. From there you have access to all the OneDrive files that are shared with you, as well as all Office web applications (they’re basically identical with the installed apps).

Using a Chromium-based browser you can run the individual web-apps like chromium --app="https://...." to give them a more native look-and-feel by removing the browser interface.

Same goes for Teams, btw.: Just open http://teams.microsoft.com/, it works just like the installed version. Including audio, video, screen sharing, and notifications.

Do you guys have any suggestions?

Because I don’t like software getting in my way I just cobbled together some HTML and CSS and call it a day.
