What types of services are you not willing to self-host?
Hosting an email server is pretty sure a magnet for half the Chinese IP range.... So I would refrain from hosting that myself.

Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads
At this point I am seriously wondering why people would like to use Chrome over Firefox for instance.

So, is the writing staff getting replaced by ChatGPT or any other LLM?

Indeed, which now backfires heavily so it seems. Interesting to see what will come out of this.

Ubuntu 23.10 Won’t Use Snap Printing Stack After All
So what is the general consensus on package management these days on Debian based distributions? I may be old school by relying only on APT (DEB) for my Linux machines, and never really got into Snap, Flatpak, and what not. Is APT still most used? Or is there a significant movement towards Snap or something else. What I hated when I looked at Snap the last time is that distributions come with different concurrent architectures on package management, which from a point of view of organizing you system just doesn't make sense. A difference between package management (APT/Flat/Snap) on the one hand and service management (Docker, k8, ...) on the other hand I understand.

Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?
Started out with lastpass many years ago, until it was bought by logmein. Have been using Bitwarden since.

There is also a very clear upwards trend I would say 😁

What are the major components of any Linux distribution?
I think you would also need an initial run process such as systemd or the sysV runlevels.

"Double haters" who loathed Trump and Biden actually seem to like Kamala Harris, poll suggests
Reply in thread
Also, the difference between the tone of the speechea between Harris and Trump are like day and night. Where Trump continues to throw dirt and spew so much negativity, Harris sounds like someone who steps beyond the dirt throwing and really comes with a vision and ideas how to govern the country.
Well, my 2cts from someone on the other end of the Atlantic 😀

Immigrants are rescuing a worker-starved U.S. economy
What the article does not mention, if the immigrant work force if working against lower wages, compared to native work force. Cheap labor obviously will be a strong rising force.

It's the cluttering of ads that really puts most off I guess. Watching something just to be disturbed every 10 minutes for a 5 minute commercial break is no fun for anyone I would guess...

Linux distro for selfhosting server
Reply in thread
It seems to be the most logical move to go from Ubuntu to Debian indeed. As I understand it maintains the core Linux system as I have it now (systemd / apt / stable kernel) while truly community driven. I have to look into transitioning into the latest stable Debian release.

I'm astonished at how well this game runs for a Bethesda game
I played the game on PC for 8 hours, at least 5 crashes already. Additionally, it runs poorly with low FPS even at low settings. The game does not look nice, it has loading screens everywhere. I am very disappointed with the game. I am unfortunately already to far in to get a refund. I'll probably wait a couple of years to start playing for real.
