I have tons of great suggestions depending on your hardware and what kinds of things you’d like to be hosting.

However, for starters, if you’re not doing so already, make sure you are binding your qBittorrent container to a privacy VPN network interface. Test it to ensure it’s working. There are sites out there that you can use to check how your torrent IP presents. No matter what you’re torrenting, keep your IP hidden. The last thing you want is your ISP to terminate your fancy new service.

NixOS is the new “I use arch btw.”

It’s mostly useful for stability in appliances and reproducibility in large scale deployments.

IMO, I don’t think immutability makes sense for desktop use. The whole point of a desktop is to make it personalized.

Kind of. Matrix is the most supported, and works very well. However, it doesn’t have feature parity with Discord. Voice/video chat can be added via integrations, but it takes quite a few modifications to the server’s infrastructure.

It’s also a bit more complicated to navigate,

Revolt is being created as a proper FOSS Discord replacement (similar UI even), but it’s pretty early in development. It also lacks federation, which is a huge caveat imo.

Let’s Encrypt has done so much for encouraging the spread of HTTPS and good certificate practices. If they went away, I honestly think a good chunk of the internet would start breaking after ~6 months.

This really sucks. I honestly didn’t know the Feds gave so much money to FOSS, but I looked up the USAGM and that makes sense.

It tracks with current trends. Basically anything that could be interpreted as benefiting any county other than the United States or any demographic other than rich white men is getting funding cut. What an embarrassment.

At a time when decentralizing information is critical, our tools to do so are also threatened.

But if it’s AI generated, who are they going to lay off after they release it?

Configurations behind a reverse proxy that did not explicitly configure trusted proxies will not work after this release. This was never a supported configuration, so please ensure you correct your configuration before upgrading. See the updated docs here for more information.

Well I’m glad I read that before upgrading!

Good for them. The gaming industry has needed better worker protections for decades. Healthier developers are more creative developers.

Just a snippet from a bigger function.

let comment: String = String::from(“lol”);
println!(“{}”, comment);

What a legend. The significance of NTP cannot be understated overstated. The internet as we know it could not work without it.

Cool, I might check it out again come spooky season.

For your use case, building from source might be more practical.

Why the hell do you only have 8GB? Are you trying to install flatpaks on a smart fridge?

Anger has a way of adding a few zeros.

The fact that Facebook still exists is proof of this.

Do you play exclusively esports games or something? It’s rare I encounter a title that doesn’t work just fine on Linux. It seems I barely need to tweak any settings anymore.

That game is really jank, but it has a kinda special sauce that makes the core game-play really fun. I used to play a lot until they overhauled the inventory system to a confusing mess. It was so opaque I never tried it again. Did they ever fix that?

That reason is so hilariously generic, they could slap it on literally any executive decision.
