Just a stranger trying things.
I think this is an issue where you are talking about people coming from windows trying to do windows things on linux like run windows software. Of course you can in some cases run windows software on Linux but it is not a fair comparison to blame Linux for not being able to run windows software. Linux has it’s own suite of software and that is often better suited.
I didn’t say Linux just works. I’m just fighting back against the preconceived idea that it’s just a total mess and windows isn’t. I have myself ran into issues with linux. But also, I’ve run into many issues with windows too.
The difference is that when people encounter issues with windows, it’s like well too bad, need to find someone who can fix it. But when they encounter an issue with Linux, it’s like linux sucks, let me get back to Windows as if it didn’t suck at least as much.
I don’t buy the argument that windows just works or that it’s somehow better or more stable. The reality is we all have grown to learn about computers specifically using windows and it’s been a steep learning curve. We have gotten familiar with its specificities and its sporadic misbehavior and accepted that as the norm. And people prefer what they are used to even if it’s suboptimal because they would rather not learn something else from scratch, even if in the long run it could be better.
Put any person who has zero computer experience in front of a windows computer or Linux computer and I doubt they would say the windows computer just works and the Linux one doesn’t.
Oats are underrated. Dirt cheap, with calories and nutrients. Super easy and fast to cook. Can be cooked in water or milk. Can be made sweet (e.g. with apple and cinnamon, drop the sugar) or savory (e.g. curry powder, or tomato etc).
And it definitely fills your stomach.
The best insight I remember reading about questions as MFA, is to consider the answer as a password. If you use a password manager, don’t feel forced to use actually true answers. The answer doesn’t have to be true, you just need to know it. Use a password manager and invent answers which you store. This is so much more secure than relying on the truth.
Edit: others mention the same thing.
Perhaps of interest? I don’t know how many bots you’re facing.
I feel you are a bit out of touch when the topic is specifically enshittification and that it is based on the history of companies turning against their users, showing little good faith. It is also not something which is sparing open source projects (remember bitwarden’s attempt?). So sure, I’m not going to deny that I’m making assumptions and that I am concerned it may one day happen. But it is grounded in reality, not some tinfoil hat stuff.
Edit: and the fact that bitwarden did not eventually go through with it does not counter the fact that they intended to and tried. Sometimes companies back off and play the long game and try to be more subtle about it.
There is no guarantee headscale can keep working the way it does or that it is allowed to keep existing.
Edit: FYI headscale is not at all at feature parity with what tailscale offers.
Congrats! Amazing project, exciting interface and you went the extra mile on the integration side with third parties. Kudos!
Edit: I’ll definitely have to try it out!
Perhaps give Ramalama a try?
Indeed, Ollama is going a shady route. https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/11016#issuecomment-2599740463
I started playing with Ramalama (the name is a mouthful) and it works great. There is one or two more steps in the setup but I’ve achieved great performance and the project is making good use of standards (OCI, jinja, unmodified llama.cpp, from what I understand).
Go and check it out, they are compatible with models from HF and Ollama too.
I picked up LibrePCB almost 2 years ago and it’s been a pleasant learning curve. I can highly recommend it, both for beginners and more advanced users.
It is still missing some few features like auto routing, but if you don’t use it, it does a great job.
If you’re talking about the latest proposal to hamper encryption, it didn’t pass.

Infomaniak, a Swiss registrar

Oh I didn’t mean to ask for the link, I just meant to get more information about what you were doing with it, totally understandable! Anyway, cool project!
Oh very interesting! How cool :) Do you then host some kind of website for people to view your animated progress in real time as you run?
Yes!! I wish there were more open source options to interface with fitness trackers and smart watches… I’m upset about all this proprietary crap forcing you to share your data with the manufacturer and depend on their availability and goodwill to access our data… Very frustrating :(
There are great app recommendations here. Perhaps not the habit tracking type, but I love FitoTrack for tracking my runs. No social, no BS, just pure local metrics. Not perfect but entirely usable and serves its purpose.

Edit: what I love most about all these apps is that they are so lightweight. I have so many apps today which are well above 100MB, sometimes around 500MB and I’m not talking games.
This is so outrageous to me. All of these open source apps by comparison are 10MB or less. Absolutely beautiful.
I didn’t take it as a critique of Ente, not to worry! I’m not affiliated in any way, I just wanted to provide some context to people who may be concerned about the vendor locking aspect specifically.
Of course how you manage your media, your needs and your finances are all a very personal matter, I also self-host my photo backup, but I use ente in a complementary fashion, and I don’t backup everything to it. It just makes it convenient to collect, share and aggregate media between ente members and non-members.
Cheers!
It’s on the very first page, opposite to the office server page, and they acknowledge the Author does not exist and that it’s basically an ad for Windows server.
