I'm not involved with Caddy, but in my understanding the author has had some bad times with his previous project. Sounds like - although it was popular among companies and government - he had open bills caused by his work on it. That c

Caddy sounds great but I'm a bit worried by the fact it does not offer repositories for major Linux distributions. Shouldn't a component that important for public facing servers be included in standard software updating processes?

It's fascinating to compare the comment sections under both videos. The first one is full of loathing and mockery for Microsoft and the features they simply did not deliver, the second one boils down to "this is the future, Micros

Which is exactly how FOSS is supposed to work. You give away something free of charge and available to everyone and you're getting something back from your users. That doesn't make the software's user "the product"

No they are not (as outlined aboved). Death threats are not part of any public discourse nor political statements. People are able to oppose the government's policies without being silenced. On a related note, the hate speech laws have

This is not true at all. The German Government is asking Facebook to delete comments which could be categorized as hate speech ("Volksverhetzung" in German). These comments are not "negative of her policies", they are ca

Oh, Linux Mint mixes Debian and Ubuntu packages by default? I was under the impression that there is Linux Mint based on Ubuntu and Linux Mint Debian Edition based on Debian.

Yeah, the port detection seems to be a bit funky. It says my smtp port is open and I panicked a little bit, but everything is pointing out it's not open to the public.

That's a rather wild insinuation of the "Dear GitHub" authors' motivation. If your constructive feedback is ignored you have to start a public discussion to get the thing rolling again. That's not necessarily as sel

I'm not sure why we would need GitHub's source code either. It's their business model and they're able to run this behemoth of a service with that. For free. I think that's amazing and shouldn't be taken for gr

It's very interesting that we perceive this (public) shutdown as "dictator-like" behaviour while the US uses gag orders, laws and secret courts to force (tech) companies into complying. If you don't want to, you have to

I think you confused WhatsApp and Telegram now. WhatsApp does not have open source code, Telegram has. WhatsApp is blocking the links though.

Well to be honest, you're not completely wrong. elementary OS _is_ trying to make as much decisions as possible for the user - To make it "just work". I agree that this is annoying to people accustomed to tweaking their syste

To be fair, GNOME is heading the same direction. And I love it! A lot of Linux users are unhappy with this trend because it takes away features they use. But it's great to click through very intuitive and easy-use applications to do co

/r/linux is schizophrenic. On the one hand, posts about new game releases for Steam are voted up and (Steam) gaming posts are quite active. On the other hand, they're badgering every single FOSS project which is trying to mak
