They’ll max send you a warning 😊 from experience.

I have yet to see pirating actually cause civilian deaths but i hear you. It harms corporations’ profits which is a far worse crime in some people’s eyes. But it’s a matter of ideology not suited in /c/selfhosted :)

Eh it’s fair game

Recommend doing a jellyfin server with an *arr stack! Prowlarr, radarr, sonarr, plus qbittorrent. Bonus if you can integrate i2p in there so you don’t have to rely on a VPN :)

there’s also Nextcloud AIO docker. I use it to sync my photos and escape Apple’s 5gb max free-tier backup

Maybe add some assorted services like an invidious instance, Searxng instance?

Welcome to the self hosting rabbit hole!

Replace “:” with “a” you get

a() a a&; a

Reformatting

a() {

a | a &

};

a

So it creates a function, a, which what it does is it calls itself and pipes its output to itself (the a | a). The ampersand means that this will run entirely in the background. Then, to initiate things, the command calls a (in the last line)

So, there will be exponentially be many recursive calls to a, which will eventually deplete your stack and set your pc on fire

Looks good! Can it go with prowlarr?

Nice ad

Im out of the loop here. What’s an AD? 🤔

I love me a no-js, simple search engine 😋

I’ve only ever self-hosted SearxNG but i wanna try out LibreY. As for who gets rate-linited less, if you self host for yourself plus some friends i’d be surprised if you have Google rate limiting your searches. I didn’t run a problem with mine anyways. I like the “torrents” feature of LibreY tho. I might self host and report back.

This man self-hosts

Looking good, thank you! 😊

I still use neovim (mostly vim) for server administration. Basically just a glorified notepad for me, although i am aware of its potential. I’m usually too lazy to set up a dotfile for it so i just use vanilla vim for my home lab when i SSH in :)

You’re welcome! I’m not much of a programmer but I’m very obsessive about my text editors. I’ve tried so many (Sublime, Atom, PyCharm, Jetbrains stuff, Eclipse ((ew)), Visual Studio code, and neovim) but none of them scratches the itch that Doom scratches. I feel like with Doom i’ve concluded my search for the “best” text editor and settled for a highly extensible but also highly intuitive text editor that works right out of the box and can work flawlessly for projects in a lot of the popular languages (I’ve personally used Rust, Haskell, Python and markdown and HTML editing with it). Something I can use forever without succumbing to the enshittification that inevitably lies for most proprietary solutions (end of open source dogma rant)

Also, pro tip is, when you’re in a project and want to search for a keyword in one of the files in your project, type <space> then slash (/). Super useful and it’s really fast. Welcome to Doom 😊

I think Crazazy had a good take about Doom in regards to customization. I’ll add that there’s some preconfigured plugins for most popular languages in Doom (complete with LSP) that makes it a breeze to go from install to feeling like home. You just have to uncomment them in the config file and reload emacs.

And one advantage is that, these plugins aren’t pre-installed, so they don’t load when you start emacs! Which makes doom emacs quite lean and the startup times are way faster.

I like Doom Emacs

LOL wait till the company your proprietary software relies on tanks or makes a shitty change for their benefit.

It’s sad you built a career out of black box code lmao. I guess 20 years isn’t enough to read the writing on the wall: proprietary code is shit. Black boxes are shit. I piss on your profession

Is it that top of the line software truly doesn’t exist for linux, that it’s impossible to the work done, or is it possible BUT you have to spend more time tinkering and learning the quirks of quite admittedly rough around the edges open source software? That yes, it’s less efficient, but actually more rewarding knowing that the software you worked on was open source. And one you actually learn how to use open source software, nobody can take it away from you.

Look at unity! They gutted the program through its egregious licensing structure and now people are scrambling for alternatives. People that sticked with Godot didn’t have the same trouble. It was just another Wednesday

Of course open source can’t play on the same level as proprietary software right now. It doesn’t have the same money thrown at it than proprietary software! But the appeal of open source is that every change is guaranteed to benefit you, not some arbitrary bottom line. Proprietary software is polished, but you are at the whims of a big tech company.

If i were to base my profession on software, spend literal years of my life depending on code, i really would fucking like to look inside that shit sometimes. Anything else is like building a skyscraper out of quicksand

There is a trade off i guess if you put it that way. Would you rather tinker and make your software work for you, or would you install a shitty bloated operating system that routinely trades your data like pokemon cards just so you can install a handful of programs comfortably.

Real change requires real change

List of things to consider

1. There are alternatives
2. You can use wine
3. You can run a windows VM and install it there
4. Dual boot windows
5. Microsoft has built a proprietary moat around their operating system. The reason why it’s hard to switch from Windows is by corporate design. A mix of early adoption, network effects, and just plain cold hard cash makes them dominate the operating system market. Of course it’s infeasible for your 60yo coworker to switch; but KDE presents an alternate reality, an opportunity, for people fed up with big tech’s bullshit. Yes, figure out how to run and use alternatives you fucking nut. Way to go disparaging countless volunteer hours spent on open source projects so that people like me can switch to linux.

Comments like these make me irrationally angry. Why complain about open source software and give bad PR? It’s open source; contribute.
