Bluesky is not a real decentralized system as the company behind it say. Bluesky (the company) controls most key parts of the network, and it is basically impossible to setup a really decentralised alternative provider for the ATProto netwo

Definitely. RSS is still great for news and Signal/Telegram/Whatsapp are more than enough to keep connected with friends&family.

Let's be honest, there is no real alternative.

Interestingly, I became better at learning human languages after learning a couple of programming languages. I was good at math at the beginning. I guess programming kinda bridged the gap.

Yes, they can. All Bluesky data (and ATProto in general) is publicly available. It is already happening and nothing can be done against it at a protocol level: https://mashable.com/article/bluesky-ai-dataset-using-one-m

It makes no sense to build a social network nowadays. With Mastodon and Bluesky around, users have free options. Plus X and Threads, and you can see how the market is more than saturated. IMHO they should look into close collaboration/

Ideally you shouldn't have to backup /var/lib/docker, as your docker configs should live in your docker-compose.yaml or whatever you use to start your docker containers. Also I have included backing up /etc confs in

It is even more deep that this. Archeology tells us that common people of ancient Judea/Israel were more flexible in their practice than post-Roman orthodoxy implies. From Asherah statues to an entire Temple (Elephantine island on the

If this was the case, why Jewish practices from Eastern Europe and the Middle East/North Africa are so aligned? And even communities that are even further away like Ethiopia, Yemen, and India, are mostly following the same pattern? Mod

I recently switched from Fedora to Linux Mint Debian Edition (I work mostly with Debian servers so I am more comfortable with apt than dnf), and the switch has been smooth for me. I keep my home directory organized and backed up on my NAS,

What is meant is that instead of ~/.app/config, you are getting now ~/.config/app/config. It’s much cleaner and it comes with a more logical and useful split of config and cache stuff, e.g. you can just skip .cache

Similar experience for me. Facebook groups, WhatsApp groups and telegram groups. Some years ago somebody tried to move people to signal groups, but it went nowhere… and this is Germany, where there is no sympathy for Meta and in general peo

I remember in Win98 it being hidden in the Windows folder, if you didn’t know where and what to look for, it was pretty much impossible to find.

It’s already exactly the same problem. @zuck.bsky.app and @zuck.meta.com are two different accounts. The only “problem” bsky solves is choosing a server. But if ATProto becomes widely used, the problem will appear as in Mastodon today. The

Mac OS X Server (Rhapsody) was using the classic Mac OS look over a NextStep base. You can find x86 versions online which work in VM, for nostalgia and research.

Cgo in server projects makes using Alpine as a base a headache honestly. If I can I always pick pure Go solutions just for this reason.

Years ago, before going full on Vault, I was using git-crypt, a git plugin that uses gpg to encrypt files before committing them to the repo. Not sure if it’s still fine, I see their last release is 2 years old nowadays. https://

I wish they would opt for ARC instead of a GC, to have a more deterministic memory objects lifecycle. Other than that, I agree with your comment.

lol good stuff snap is in pretty much any distro repo out there :D

by paride5745 2y ago
Indeed! Just release a flatpak, even a snap. I’m not asking to support all distros. But at least one between flatpak and snap is enough to support pretty much all distros out there in a clean manner, not with curl | sh

Every time I open FB, I see only sponsored and suggested content, and never any content from friends, pages or groups I'm in. Since a few years I moved my social media presence on Mastodon and Instagram (too many non-tech people stuck

Still waiting for GT 7, but honestly I can't justify buying a PS5 just for a game.

I am thinking this as well. Reddit has a huge value for Google, and Google doesn't need to monetize APIs and even care too much about 3rd party clients without ads. The real value of Reddit is its data/content, and Google might va

Reddit is not valuable for its tech, but for its content. They would buy reddit content, and likely they wouldn't need to rush making it profitable per se, as the data sets Reddit can provide would be more valuable in today AI race.

Minix3 was born as a full OS, not a management engine. What Intel really did with the code, nobody really knows.

Yes, full OS with its own microkernel and NetBSD-forked userland.

The difference is that Canonical forces the contributions ownership to be handed over, while RedHat plays by accepted opensource practices. So while Canonical might have good initial ideas, the way they manage projects really kills them, e.

I don't think Medium was ever a good option. Too much tracking, too many paywalls, and not easy to relocate your posts to another platform.
