If you go this route I recommend installing Kodi + Jellyfin Plugin + Kore Android App. You can control everything from your phone or laptop.

Boomers on Facebook are mostly a lost cause so we just have to assume they won’t be part of any kind of new social media movement.

I don’t think there is a world where Linux gains significant market share AND users care what sudo is. In order for Linux to be more mainstream, those kinds of details should not be the concern of laypeople. GUIs are what average people are able to stomach.

There is actually a JS library called Planktos that can serve static websites over BitTorrent. I don’t know how good it is, but it sounds like a starting point.

You might be surprised to learn that there are economies of scale at play here. If you want a managed application that has light traffic, then you can pay less for serverless than you would pay for hardware + wasted hours when the hardware is powered on but serving no traffic.

I agree that there are some companies making poor decisions about which software they run in the cloud though. “Cloud mandates” are really stupid, because they’re basically just a trap where cloud providers offer a large amount of free cloud credits to get companies dependent on their platform.

Because they often won’t let you.

• Has a simple backup and migration workflow. I recently had to backup and migrate a MediaWiki database. It was pretty smooth but not as simple as it could be. If your data model is spread across RDBMS and file, you need to provide a CLI tool that does the export/import.

• Easy to run as a systemd service. This is the main criteria for whether it will be easy to create a NixOS module.

• Has health endpoints for monitoring.

• Has an admin web UI that surfaces important configuration info.

• If there are external service dependencies like postgres or redis, then there needs to be a wealth of documentation on how those integrations work. Provide infrastructure as code examples! IME systemd and NixOS modules are very capable of deploying these kinds of distributed systems.

Silverbullet is nice

Good point. There are some where it’s just a few miscellaneous files missing.

I have so many files that have been stalled at >95% for months.

Wain did some awesome psychedelic cats as well.

I like AdGuard Home myself.

I do grind my beans haha.

Idk but I use NixOS.

Wireguard is p2p.

EDIT: I guess the point is it’s doing peer discovery without static public IPs or DNS. Pretty cool!

Is this significantly different from the QBitTorrent search engine?

Sounds a lot like the AT Protocol.

My point wasn’t so much that I think RED is shady but that exposing my IP seems like an unnecessary requirement to join. Why can I not have my membership tracked via an anonymous account? If they are concerned about account harvesting or something, then the interview already seems like a good enough measure, accompanied by seed ratio minimums.

couldn’t you always just run a Linux VM at near-native speed, and get the benefits of both?

The obvious downside is that Linux is no longer the host OS. MacOS or Windows would be closed source code managing your hardware. And any VM could only be as fast as the host OS allows it to be.

It’s been this way for at least a decade.
