Grew up on it. My dad set up a Ubuntu 4.10 PC for my brother and I when we were 3/5 (no internet, obv), and it stuck.

Used Windows for a brief time in highschool to be able to play online with friends.

Went right back to Linux when going to university. Will never change back, both for ideological reasons and because Linux is just better.

Next step: NixOS on a phone

ALright, thanks for the recommendation :) And yeah, “weird” and “metal” are good descriptions. Additionally, the backstory we got in S1 was definitely “fire”.

I liked the first 80% of the first season, and stopped watching halfway into S02E01. Is it worth continuing? Do we get any answers? Are they satisfying?

Alright, thanks for the info, that’s good to know. Trying to make the jump becomes more enticing every day.

Thanks for sharing! Sounds about as good/bad as I was expecting. How’s the browser experience? Also, are there any features/tweaks you are aware of that you could not get through Nix, that the more “commercial” Linux device manufacturers have developed for their devices?

Holy crap! A NixOS-on-phone user in the wild! You are rocking my dream setup. How’s your experience been with it? Is it remotely daily drivable for phone things?

What does this have to do with Privacy?

I honestly don’t get the hostility, wtf.

If you prefer something other than Jellyfin, good for you.

Sorry, but the person above made a blanket statement that Jellyfin sucks for music streaming.

Alas, it does not; example: me, guffaw

Have zero problems with Jellyfin as the Server, Symfonium as the client on mobile / music assistant for streaming to sonos at home

Some might say interconnecting everything could be a legitimate goal. Nonetheless, some people started to report about huge amounts of data and metadata being sent to Matrix central servers.

Curious that this claim is without source in the original.

I also have porblems with their claims about bridges. Bridges are Band-Aids to allow you to communicate with people not on Matrix, not a dark masterplan to build a central spionage hub.

By default, a homeserver trusts matrix.org in questions of federation and identity of other servers. You have to get that trust from somewhere. You are free to choose another source for that.

(For example, my homeserver isn’t federated at all, and has that trusted server removed; it doesn’t communicate with anyone. Also it’s not synapse, but that’s besides the point.)

That’s great.

Please beware that DNS over TLS is transport protection; the dns server itself of course still sees and knows everything.

How exactly does Free, non-open-source software prevent that?

Github, Lemmy, my blog.

Fühl ich, Bruder.

Baby steps: I wish it was mandated that any software receiving even a penny in public funding must be open source down to the last byte.

You are probably half-joking, but… yeah.

I fucking hate this timeline. Actually, scratch that, that is way to placid and abstract.

I hate the assholes in charge. Fuck all of them. Luigi did nothing wrong.

My blood glucose monitor is not on the play store. So one dy next year I’ll wake up and no longer be able to get that data…?

I just started working at a new place, and my closest coworker has my deadname. Threw me for like half a second, but hasn’t been an issue at all otherwise.
