+1 for the letsencrypt wildcard with DNS verification, been using this for years. with dehydrated (https://github.com/dehydrated-io/dehydrated) you can automate renewing the certs, pretty convenient.

One thing i didn't see mentioned yet - you can also easily create a wildcard for a subdomain of your domain, e.g. *.local.example.com. Most DNS providers let you define something like _acme-challenge.local IN TXT ... so you don't even need to define an extra zone for local.example.com. Probably makes no big difference, but i like it ^^

nvidia has always been hostile to open source, as far back as i can remember.

back when nvidia bought 3dfx they took down the source code for the open 3dfx drivers within days, if not on the same day. i remember because i had just gotten myself a sweet voodoo 5 some weeks before that, and the great linux support was the reason i chose it... of course the driver code survived elsewhere, but it told me all i needed to know about that company.

also: linus' rant wasn't just a fun stunt, it was necessary to get nvidia to properly cooperate with the open source community if they want to keep making money running linux on their hardware.

Palworld in a nutshell

Owncloud seems to be pretty much over IIRC.

The company behind it got bought be some american company in 2023, that promised that everything will "stay as open as it is" - you won't believe what happened next ;)

Then recently many of the developers left to join OpenCloud, which seems to be a fork of owncloud, lead by a german open source veteran.

Well, yes, but...

nextcloud forked owncloud back when there was only the php codebase.

opencloud forked owncloud ocis, which is a rewrite in go.

So while both forked "owncloud", or "something named owncloud", i doubt they'll have any code in common.

You can get this as a snack in Taiwan, broken instant noodles with seasoning ;)

Tubular is nice, a fork of newpipe that adds sponsorblock: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/org.polymorphicshade.tubular?repo=main

L1 chair, L2 bed, L3 floor

worked for me like a charm, but my poor main quest...

I'd stay on zfs, I simply don't trust btrfs’ raid implementation. For very important documents I also set copies=2 (or 3) on that dataset, just in case.

And as others already said: 3-2-1 backups ;)

I'm using https://github.com/dracut-crypt-ssh/dracut-crypt-ssh on some of my servers. The initrd opens an ssh port where you can login and enter the passphrase. Setting it up is non-trivial, but it works well. Haven't tried it on Debian but there should be something similar.

The centre being all black would have added a nice touch

As Taiwan never was part of the PRC there can be no reintegration or reunification.

Wera for screwdrivers and wrenches. Best tools I ever had.

I had used /e/ as a daily driver for about a year, on one of the officially supported phones (FP3). Installation was easy, and coming from other custom ROMs I remember thinking "wow, this just works!” ;) Didn't use any of the /e/ services, things worked fine connected to a self-hosted nextcloud.

For a usability I think this is how painless an alternative ROM should be if it wants to reach a wider audience.
