As others have mentioned, if you only have one device and functioning backups you don’t need a server side component to use git.

If you do decide to host something, I’d recommend using Forgejo over Gitea. Forgejo is a hard fork of Gitea made after the latter changed their source code to “open core”.

I connect to my server using ssh and use tmux as a persistent session. Configuration wise, I use NixOS and edit the config files directly on the server via emacs.

To flip that on it’s head, if you do have computer issues, would you rather get help from someone who laughs at these silly memes or a huge ai powered bureaucracy that prioritises upselling and closing tickets?

I use borg backup to a Hetzner storage box, which costs $5 a month.

For a gui interface, I’ve been using Pika backup.

Doesn’t Github give you Github Pages access for free?

If that’s a developer, I assume what happened is that they enabled Proton and gave it a quick test to see if it worked. It seemed to work so they made the original post.

Then a manager saw the post and said that they don’t actually have CI and QA set up for it, so they can’t list it as officially supported. Which… Fair, I guess.

When I asked on the subreddit for pc building ages ago, people seemed genuinely helpful and friendly?

Dealing with Windows’ bootloader is a pain in my experience. At least with Linux there’s good documentation and tooling.

Even if he allows AI contributions, Linus feels like the type to call out slop loudly when he sees it.

My understanding is that they usually go for the sites that distribute the content now, rather than individuals. Having an open Jellyfin instance looks like the latter rather than the former.

People exfiltrating movies from your Jellyfin account sounds harmless until you get a knock on the door from the police asking why you’re running a piracy sharing site. Depending on the attacker’s level of access, they may also wonder why your server is now serving kiddie fiddling videos. Or maybe the attacker just replaces all your movie metadata images with ones from the Bee Movie.

To me at least, DOS and region locking should come after properly locking down public facing services. They aren’t 100% reliable at preventing intrusions.

I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a large difference between the power usage of a cpu at rest (like most servers will be) and one at full power. Especially if it had a gpu in it. They certainly sound a lot louder in my experience.

You can never be truly sure how bad a compromised system has been compromised, or even easily detect when it has happened. It could be running as part of a botnet, stealing your credentials or probing your local/mesh network.

In my eyes, competent cybersecurity abilities are an important part of selhosting which seems to fall by the wayside. It’s important to know exactly what your server is doing, what is running and who has access. If your system is on the public internet, you have a moral obligation to behave and not have it turn into a botnet or spam machine.

“This works perfectly, which is why I’m removing all ways to audit what it has contributed.”

Why would one use this rather than just using something like Matrix or self-hosted Stoat? I’m not sure what it being “Discord compatible” really gets this project. Bot compatibility is nice, but aren’t most Discord bots closed source anyway?

Main.

Don’t get me wrong, the whole debate is Microsoft just being performative (why not use your vast wealth to actually help people?). But honestly, putting the debate aside, “main” is just a clearer and more intuitive name.

Programs running graphically (Firefox, your file browser, etc.) need a way to tell the system “draw these pixels here”. That’s what the display server does; it takes all these applications, works out where their windows are and manages that pixel data.

XOrg has historically been the display server in common use, but it’s very old and very cobbled together. It generally struggles with “modern” things that must people expect today. Multimonitor setups, vsync, hdr and all that. They work, but support is hacked together and brittle.

Wayland is a replacement for XOrg that was designed from scratch to fix a lot of these issues. But it’s been an uphill battle because XOrg is the final boss of legacy codebases.

tl;dr They’re both software that manages drawing pixels from applications to the display.
