Somewhere between Linux woes, gaming, open source, 3D printing, recreational coding, and occasional ranting.

Software that’s “just a tool” can lock you down and out of what you can do with it.
AI is not “just a tool”. It is highly unethical.
It harms the environment, it harms actual developers, it introduces all sorts of legal issues where copyright is only one of them, it locks you in to a vendor, it makes you dependent of giant tech companies that steal your data and want to monetize your work.
Linus seems to ignore that or does not care about it.
Same with statistics and probability. But they still have a point.
Fuck.
Let’s hope for a slop-free fork or the old man changing his mind on this bullshit.
My desktop computer monitor is a 28 inch 4K screen, so yes, it is on the upper end of the median screen size, I guess. I ran Hyprland on my laptop (13 inch 1080p) for some time but I like my environment harmonized, so I use the same configuration there, too.
For easier management I make use of labwc’s areas and snapping feature to have windows proportionally the same size on both screens. The areas use percentages by default, which makes it quite easy. I have top, bottom, left, and right, the four corner quarters and two different center regions.
On my laptop I usually only use the center region for the browser.
Using Waybar I have a detailed clock and a sound widget on bottom right corner of my screen, and left of that is space for “systray” icons.
My windows have a title bar, that show the icon and title, and a close button.
No task bar or other navigation elements on the screen or the windows.
I make heavy use of Alt+Drag actions for resizing moving windows around and constantly have windows rolled up so only the title bar is showing. I never minimize windows and rarely use fullscreen.
For accessing applications in a convenient way I use the root menu on desktop rightclick and the client menu on middleclick.
The whole setup is fully customized and built from ground up to be as least annoying and intrusive as possible.
This is basically my setup since ca. 15-20 years now. Started with Openbox on Debian and since 2008 Arch Linux, and around 2-3 years ago I switched over to labwc on Wayland which allowed me to re-create what I used on Openbox.
So it’s open core now? As if this would be any better.

So, Vaultwarden it is?
Yeah, the content mafia really hates everything that makes us actually own something.
Okay, great. I don’t have a smartphone. No I cannot see the error log anymore.
No-one did and you can basically establish you fully independent DNS. The DNS unter ICANN control is just the default.
That’s the question of this thread. Yes.
What are you using for this type of thing?
I just created a send-only mailbox in the account I already have at my hosting service and use this in all my services.
I’m not going to set up a mail server and deal with all the security issues and problems with private dial-up IP addresses myself. Been there, done that. Wasn’t fun.
Make a fake account then?
Just another random person’s dotfiles?
I wonder how it would even possible without overloading the account with tons of different data for all the different platforms.
I mean, yes, it would be possible but the amount of work that needs to go into the server, and the amount of data that each account holds on that server in my eyes simply not justify that.
Never have I ever heard about apps that need a swap file to operate normally.
If people are hurt enough, they will push towards it.
While I totally disagree with both, there are distributions without systemd and there are NEW projects that keep X11 alive and shun Wayland.
Something like this could happen with the Kernel. I’m not the one doing it because while I dislike Linus’ pro-slop stance I don’t really care enough for actively working on something like that…
But if available I’d install it instead of the slop Kernel.
