Not at all. I’m just saying that if you try to suggest Matrix as a “drop in” replacement for WhatsApp or other dedicated IM platforms, it may not immediately give you that “at home” feeling right now. It’s much more capable, but different.

I know my GPL from my BSD. I know FSF’s stand on “free” vs “open” software. That part is crystal clear to me. This piece confuses me though. It constantly seems to intermix and conflate “open source software” with “proprietary software”. Is

Maybe I did something wrong, but for me getting a local X-server running, with X-forwarding from WSL1 was dead easy and something I used on a day to day basis. Getting the same working with WSL2 was a pain in the ass, and I eventually gave

Thanks! That was the final push I honestly needed. Now I've migrated my remaining 10+ Travis-CI builds to a different CI-provider (GitHub Actions). It feels like a solid upgrade.

From a superficial look, I would argue xshell is all about bringing shell-ergonomics into your rust-code, while your rust program maintains its traditional form. rust-script seems to do nothing about your general rust-code, but make it mo

Ubuntu comes with working ZFS support OOB with no need to fiddle around. You don’t even need DKMS. My guess is implementing with Debian would be more effort.

Dumb question: if all you plan for the users to do is send ZFS snapshots (as a backup-service or whatever), isnt 12GBs of RAM per host quite excessive? Wouldn’t you be able to implement this cheaper using only 4-8GBs?
