Most operating systems these days are just micro-kernels to run the actual operating system, your browser. Most users will be perfectly happy using whatever in most cases as long as you can get one of the major browsers on it.
If they have special requirements, then you need to figure them out first.
If they want to learn how to run their own stuff, go ahead and teach them.
Do you think sister here wants to learn how to run nextcloud?
I definitely think they should help their families out. Helping them select an alternative service is helping out.
Being on the hook for endless tech support while getting blamed for everything is not helping out. It’s also not healthy for your relationship with your sibling, and it’s not a good use of family holiday time.
A partner is different. You already share a lot of infra, and since you presumably spend a lot more time together it’s not likely to impact your relationship as much unless you go full Pat & Mat do IT.
This is my most heartfelt advice: do not do hosting for family members. You will get no end of trouble.
Find her a commercial service she can trust. Or throw up your hands and go “big tech, what can you do”. But do not, under any circumstance, run her IT.
But why?
Simply put, there aren’t a lot of us, we don’t like them, and we aren’t particularly nice people, even to people we don’t dislike a priori.
It seems like a poor business decision.
He doesn’t have bash. I’m not sure I’ve seen a system this millennium with Perl but not bash.
I can’t really think of anything that’s less frustrating than sh and ticks all your boxes. You can try TCL but it’s bound to be a shit show. It was painful to use two decades ago.
Perl is a step up in terms of developer comfort, but it’s at the same time too big and too awkward to use.
Maybe a statically linked Python?
Aww, that sucks.
It’s amazing. You press one button on a new out of box Mac and you’re in a zsh!
Also, sleep and suspend just work.
Is it like that because we’re a bunch of snowflakes?
Be your true authentic self, sister.
Raymond is a fucking incel. His site is a collection of cringe and “yes, this entry here, officer”.
It’s really well documented and easy to config. You just open the page for your IDP, follow the instructions, set a few config setting and you’re off.
The user interface is also really good at this. Often custom identity providers feel hacked on, here it’s integrated really well.
I believe the implementation is based on nextauth.js
It depends on what you mean by seamlessly. I have the Safari bookmarklet menu thingy on iOS and it works great.
I’m using it 99% for recipes. But, I haven’t lost a recipe since I started using it!
All self-hostable software should do single sign-on the way Linkwarden does.
If you are wondering whether or how to support OIDC or SAML or other SSO, look no further for inspiration.
Maybe. I’m on Firefox, but a lot of my family members are on Chrome and I’m not looking forward to the calls ;)
I’ve heard reasonably good reports about ublock origin lite (uBOL), the manifest V3 implementation. I haven’t made the jump yet, though.
Or: so-called moderates make common cause with fascists. Again.
