sftpgo is a nice project to host files in a secure way without too much hassle.

While I don’t agree with your first point from my experience, the second one is very true. Especially for memory consumption, your typical Java app easily occupies five times as much as something more bare metal.

I still hoping JpegXL will get some traction. The fact that it was removed from Chrome looks bad but they’ll most likely add it again if it does. It’s by far the best of all of them.

An offline version of Wikipedia would be handy though.

The “effective due” is probably even negative because the extra money they’ll fight for will be more than the due.

They also knew they shouldn’t give him a keyboard because he’d crash that thing in no time while bragging about how much he knows about IT and all the FANG tech leads who told him how knowledgeable he is.

No trash, happy people, everyone minding their own business. That must really piss of the conservatives.

Not a remake but I think another addon for Diablo 2 would still be awesome.

Danke :-)

I’m okay with steam because:

• basically everyone can sell their games on Steam (*conditions apply)
• it has a (working) offline mode
• they’re putting a lot of effort into gaming on Linux
• family sharing
• it let’s me integrate external games

The Blizzard launcher is just for the few games Blizzard is selling. It asked me to go online way too often. Maybe every single time, I don’t remember exactly. It’s a bit like that Rockstar launcher. I don’t see any value in it besides auto updates.

Which indexer is that if I may ask (for a friend)? 😁

There’s OsmAnd and Organic Maps (and probably more). Both are open-source apps, use Openstreemap data, and work offline. You can get OsmAnd+ for free on F-Droid. If you want support the devs you can buy it in the Play Store. There’s also a free but limited version there.

German content is mostly on Sharehosters or One-Click-Hosters or whatever you call them. I really don’t know why because they are expensive and worse than the other options. I know BitTorrent is not popular in Germany because of the law but the Usenet could be the better option if it was more popular.

You still have to install that annoying Blizzard launcher, I guess?

I haven’t tried not touching it for years to be honest. Longest period without a reboot was something between half a year and a year and it worked without a problem. Check the Arch website, breaking changes or manual interventions are very rare nowadays. There’s just one thing you have to do if you start an update after a long time: make sure to update the keyring first or pacman will exit with an error. That’s also mentioned in the wiki.

I installed Arch on my server because:

• I know it very well.
• The base system is tiny. Fewer packages = fewer problems. Everything else is in Podman containers anyway.
• It’s very flexible. I have a customized encrypted rootfs which needs to be unlocked through SSH, not a very common thing I guess.

I’ve been using Arch for over a decade now. On a laptop, desktop, VPS and now it’s also driving Steam OS on the Deck. I had very little problems with it compared to our Ubuntu setups at work that randomly break on updates. Ubuntu is not as bad as it used to be but from my experience (i.e. the way I use it), Arch has been more stable and reliable.

Also, there’s usually a 2nd safety mechanism that prevents it from popping up.

It’s the amount of legacy it’s carrying on that drives me crazy. Many of the implicit default implementations are confusing. That’s where all these “rule of 3”, “rule of 7”, “rule of whatever” come from. The way arguments are passed into functions is another issue. From the call-side you (sometimes) cannot tell if you’ll end up with a moved value or a dangling reference. The compiler will not stop you from using it. Even if the compiler has something to tell you, it’ll do it on the most cryptic way possible. I’m grateful we have C++, it paid lots of my bills. But it’s also a pain in the ass.

[ is a binary (sometimes a symlink) in /usr/bin. It’s /usr/bin/[ 🤓

Just craft one yourself, it’s not that hard. Chop a few trees for the wood, craft the workbench, dig down a bit for the diamonds and there you go!
