13·4 days agoArch linux ARM (the base of such steam os) has existed for a while now. Not to diminish Valve efforts, just putting in some context.
Yeah, I was very surprised to see the only upgrade is a generous storage from 512 GiB to 2 TiB… I would rather build my own PC, spend a little extra, cover other needs I have (zfs pool for videos), and get a good GPU that I can always replace for a newer one in a few years… But of course, that’s just me. That new GPU could easily cost as much as the Steam Machine itself, hehe. Of course, it would be way more powerful…
If your experience tells you the open source community is less vulnerable to backdoors or something, reconsider that.
I only said that I agreed with you in those words…
Do you think backdoors are the only threat? or the biggest?? in both cases, you’d be wrong. That’s the whole point in this exchange of opinions.
I am not saying this as a moderator: you’re person of obnoxious answers. Probably far too intelligent to even consider that you’re actually interacting with other human beings that may not want to engage or sacrifice their time with your rants. But I don’t ban based on personality.
Anyway, I don’t have to answer any of your questions. Typing comes too fast on your keyboard. Try stepping away, read, click the links (like redishiel CVE), take a deep breath, live more calmly.
I will post a reply to you reply on Redishell. So that you can check again what happened there. You went too fast and hit your own wall.
Here’s your reply to Redishell. You answered “To anyone confused: […]” and went on and on talking about backdoors.
I was thinking on hosting a static site, renting my own VPS. I always write in markdown, so
pandocwould suffice (even if it were just a starting point…) Since I’d be using markdown, the content is highly transferable (e.g. when I wanted to move onto Publii, Ghost or other engine).In your case, I’d recommend checking https://writefreely.org/
The goal is on documentation itself. There’s technical stuff that I do, combining the docs of 2 or more software pieces. These don’t have much space anywhere. At some point, I have been doing this with the assistance of AI. That’s why I started to wonder, maybe it’s not worth the effort… But that’s a negative thought I might just put aside. I am very thankful for all the inspiring and motivating answers I am getting here.
self-hosting implies making the service available for yourself with tunnels or port forwards. Yet, I’ve been running searxng container and accessing it via localhost without issues. I could write a guide and share my docker compose file…
the only loss here is my time as a moderator :P
I am not banning anyone, you were quite civil in this “fight” 1
Do keep in mind that all this has a lot of “editor wars” vibes. But the conflict goes beyond Debian (e.g. including Rust in Linux kernel), and actual harmful discussions between Rust and C/C++ people is REAL, damaging our communities, and very much driven by generations/ network-effect. And this is just sad. It’s not a technical issue, and overcoming it seems nearly impossible at the moment.

1 I’d call it discussion, but it seems to me that ‘whoever loves Digit’ was ranting more on their own behalf… as per their own words:
Awareness should be raised for this stuff, because people are sadly not as concerned as they should be about the state of cybersecurity right now. It’s particularly an issue in Linux / FOSS circles where there seems to be more of a false sense of security these days.
I agree with these words, but not all you said (specifically, backdoors to me are a smaller concern in the software industry nowadays in comparison to the Redishell provided that you were unable to fully understand). Anyway, I don’t see reason to remove any of the most downvoted comments you have. But I will take the opportunity here to raise a warning to you. OR, let’s make it a personal advice: arguing on the internet is not worth the emotional toll. As with any advice, you can either take it or leave it. Good luck!
Stremio, Torrentio and a VPN enter the room… ;)
You can also put cork on fire, wait it to cool off and then paint you face. That’s a peaceful way to get shot. Follow me for more tips!
1·21 days agoTime to migrate? SeaweedFS, RustFS, or Garage https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/ cover the basics and some nice features too AFAIK.
It’s only a financial engineer when the numbers have enough zeroes. Then they get home arrest instead of prison :) we are very tolerant because they are a minority /s

Thanks. I know about the compromise, having a 24/7 box with all I want to hear. But that can’t include new songs that I am yet to discover.
In case you didn’t know, there’s Aurora OS which is immutable fedora with KDE plasma, very much like bazzite or any of the uBlue spins. I have been using it on a laptop for a while now and I am extremely happy with it.
Not the same but sure. Go ahead. There’s piefed.social too!
“Modern day” Luddite. It’s not just using the word isolated! Tittle clearly mixes the meaning with the historical reference. Plus, the one being pedantic were you… But thanks anyway for pointing out the word has two definitions.
Owncloud Infinite Scale is a rewrite of owncloud that seems right to me. Hopefully we are going to see something similar. This press release says almost nothing of their plans… to me it’s making them look just worse.
