Which is just as risky as instantly updating unless you’re really closely keeping an eye on which updates are security related.

Thank you!

No, but it clearly wasn’t the solution. They likely could have used some of those people they fired for that.

pushing people towards specific ideas using social media

I’ve been incredibly concerned about this for more than a decade. Watching r/the_donald in action was incredible and validated all of that fear.

And it’s still happening. On all social media, including here.

Certain narratives are pushed hard, and it’s effective. Some of it is fully genuine. Some of it is/was seeded artificially and picked up some genuine steam, and is still being reinforced. The stuff that’s fully artificial seems to be dropped fairly quickly most of the time these days.

After the artificial narrative picks up and gets genuine sentiment mixed with it, it becomes hard to tell the difference. If you can mix it in with existing emotions, like anger that we’re in this situation, and add in some seeds of truth it works even better.

Propaganda works. On all of us. And just by being here, we’re being exposed. But I’m afraid to leave, too. The more real people leave the easier it is to manipulate the remainder.

It’s just all so easy and effective and actually happening. And the alarm bells about it aren’t loud enough.

Vaultwarden is what you’re looking for.

Doesn’t xmpp require a constant connection?

Looking at and/or incorporating Navidrome might be helpful.

At least for the first year.

At the time, everything HTTP was supposed to be public.

Especially on mobile.

Mumble is another strong, open source, self-hosted option.

Fewer people will get into unraid. Natural churn will happen. The OS will slowly die, and as it dies usability will get worse.

Not many people are going to choose the subscription Linux over a free Linux.

I am a dev, but not a Rust dev.

Rust, Go, and C# look like the future to me. Everyone is moving to strongly typed, explicitly typed languages for a reason.

Rust is as fast as it gets, and much much safer and easier than C or C++ at the cost of slightly odder syntax than higher level languages.

Microsoft has done great things with C# and open source and multi-platforming. It’s the easiest, quickest, safest way to develop business applications. The performance is really pretty good until you compare it to Rust.

Go is between the two, but probably a little closer to Rust.

Other languages will stick around the same way Fortran has still been in use despite being deprecated for 30 years. But really nobody should be developing anything new in PHP.

While I generally agree with you, you can’t call that a strange take.

Their views are concerning, but so far I haven’t seen them trying to force their views anywhere yet. And having a fork as a real option helps mitigate a lot of that risk.

I’m certainly okay with the $50k/year they’re trying to make for working on this full time. I’d be fine with triple that.

If it gets out of hand, we have options. They’re aware of that (in fact offered it), and have been acting appropriately afaik.

Maybe this would work for you?
