I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. Going to try it out today, thanks!

There are quite a few creators who are primarily funded off patreon and release content to YouTube. I imagine a group like MCDM (Matt Colville) who has patreon, merch, crowdfunding, and products doesn’t really care about ad revenue.

I disagree. Each distro is a user of a thousand different open source systems. When a distro developer integrates gnome, systemd, bluez, or whatever other system they’re finding, reporting, and possibly fixing bugs that end users might miss. Other than arch users, who else is compiling these things from scratch and really digging into the documentation?

Doing this by hand is challenging but possible.

First you need a hex editor, not a text editor. xxd on linux will get you started but you might want something a little more user friendly.

Then look for a label for a value you know, xxd and other hex editors will show ascii text on the side. Hopefully you’ll be able to identify the value (in hexadecimal, probably 4 bytes but could be 1, 2, or 8 as well) somewhere before or after the label. You might have to get familiar with endianness, two’s compliment, and binary floating point before the numbers make sense.

Once you know how to read a value after a label you’ll need to find some label for the information you don’t know. If it isn’t displayed in the program it might not have a super readable label.

Distributed but high trust.

Zero-trust blockchain tech has no value. There is no such thing as a zero trust system in real life.

Except blockchain solves no useful problems so you will never find it behind anything that isn’t explicitly using it for marketing.

I’d highly recommend adding a license file. Right now it’s more source available than open source.

In case anyone hasn’t seen Folding Ideas - Line Goes Up. He gives a great overview of the history of crypto and is worth every minute of the 2 hour run time.

Plus he isn’t a crypto bro like OP here.

If you’ve ever followed the C++ committee discussions you’ll see they put a lot of time and effort into considering legacy code when introducing language changes. For better or worse existing languages are on a trajectory set from their inception that can’t always be easily redirected. New languages are free of this baggage and can wildly experiment.

The default mobile web view literally has sidebar at the top of the page when viewing a community. If your app is missing a basic feature you don’t get to complain and be a dick about it.

I see no value in reposted content where we can’t interact with the OP or any of the commenters. If you see a good link shared on the subreddit, just post it here like you would if you found it organically some other way.

Unless they start offering on-prem or there are some very high profile server hacks I don’t see that being possible. Unlike media and client software they don’t need to provide the core functionality to end users, just the output.

I’ve been a pretty heavy torrent user for years. I’m not sure when everyone came to the conclusion that VPNs were necessary. If you stick to slightly older media on public trackers and private for really new hype stuff you’re very unlikely to get hit. Plus one letter from your isp isn’t the end of the world and you can always kick on a VPN after your first one.

I couldn’t find a good one on their site so I downloaded the app. It’s a fancy notes app with templates for a bunch of different things. The hook seems to be the decentralized sync system.

Film companies aren’t generally in the business of selling the rights to their products. As you say, it’s a cash cow they can keep milking for years. They can re-release the same film on new platforms and continually contract it out to different streaming platforms for years. Why would they sell you a distribution license in perpetuity for anything resembling an reasonable cost?

I just use the web interface like I normally do. The mobile version of the site is fine.

How are you normally using it?

Can I ask why you’re opposed to using a subdomain: immich.something.duckdns.org? In my experience few self hosted apps cleanly support being hosted on paths and doing so tends to require some advanced reverse proxy settings like rewrites. I don’t have immich running right now but I did at one time with that method.

I was mostly thinking about PHP with that comment. Which has some serious issues with how modules from other files are included and general structure. It’s possible to write well organized PHP projects but it takes discipline, it doesn’t happen organically, and its really hard to fix once the project has grown significantly.

I haven’t used VB since VB.NET 2003 so I hesitate to speak on that directly. Professionally I work across multiple OS’s and architectures so all .NET languages are kinda no-go’s. That’s where C++ really shines.

First, of course, use whatever you’re comfortable with.

Second, a lot of that advice you see is about long-term development on large projects. Often you don’t know if a little side project is going to turn into something huge but it’d be nice to have started it in something that will be more easily maintainable down the line.

I’m just not super into wacky stuff chatGPT says content. It produces these super long walls of text that way overstay their welcome.
