They have been making a profit on YT for years already. This isn't to cover the server cost, its to increase the bottom line after all competition was crushed by them. Also, I remember a time with unobtrusive ads that were fine and not an issue, unfortunately for the past 2 years or so they're pushing more and more ads lately doubling up on them as well. Clearly people - just like me - start fighting back and stop them from abusing with massive amounts of unwanted content.

Was Fedora always so unstable?

I'm using fedora as my work system, because I have a relatively new laptop that needs the new kernels. Haven't experienced anything you're describing. Are you on fedora regular or on sliverblue (the immutable version)? If you're having issues running the newest kernel, follow the fedora documented way to build and run your own. I did just that when needed a prerelease kernel and it worked out fine. I usually upgrade to a new release by the end of the cycle, so that the new version had 6 months to mature. I never immediately upgrade.

Recommendations for opensource Jetbrains equivalents?

i use both neovim with lazyvim inside tmux for small edits and jetbrains (pycharm, clion, rider, datagrip, dataspell) for longer larger work sessions. git is best operated in the console, never used any git tools in any ide. they are just overly complicating something super simple. AI can stay out of my editors. if you must use AI there is always oh-my-pi.

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman's letter to Reddit employees in response to blackout

Reply in thread

Well, maybe the 1000000 contained a bit of marketing but the point is that many of the people discussing this here probably didn't know Lemmy existed 3 weeks ago and that number will only increase. There is nothing that can stop the fediverse from eventually overtaking everything else as its not a single entity. Also, growth may not be exclusive either, its not required for reddit to fail so that fedi can succeed. They can coexist.

React Won by Default – And It's Killing Frontend Innovation

I use HTML5, css3 and vanilla js... haven't seen a web dev project in years that actually needed to be an application. for the odd moment where I need interactive controls htmx comes to the rescue. I've built a few actual web applications using both react and angular before and can tell you nothing is more amazing than not having to deal with npm anymore. don't get me started on downloading all backend state into browser cache just to change the color of a button ;-)

Should I be concerned with exposing my server to the public?

Yes you should be worried. Dont expose services you're not able to keep up to date and know how to manage and secure. Using tailscale is a great alternative as it allows you to have access without exposing anything to the internet, I'd prefer that. For everything else, subscribe to a CVE service for those (I use nextcloud and matrix and follow all security findings) and be ready to take them offline as soon as a critical exploit appears. Dont expose your passwords directly to the internet - ever; no matter if anyone else tells you its OK.
