2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    Quite some people do, so it's great such options exist.

    My own gripe is with self-hosted apps that don't need a server to begin with.

    Why do I have to run a server to manage my bookmarks? Write down recipes? Control available stock? Manage finances?

    All that can be done via local-first apps that may then have some backup functionality (or have files in one place so I could sync them). Adding a server layer only adds complexity and forces me to keep it on or toggle every time, affecting performance and battery life.

    You dont have to open them up to the internet, I use tailscale, host on my own pc, runtipi makes most apps easy to setup and update, one click (plus filling out any specific info like username/password unless you create the account when you open the app for the first time)

    [–] Pika@rekabu.ru 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    I know how it works, my problem is that server software is meant to run constantly in the background, and needs to be managed in a specific way, and I specifically don't want this to happen.

    I know I can put self-hosted server behind a VPN, but it's an entirely different use case.

    Also this is about cloud services lol, if you want like a drive on your phone, the app is the files app or sftp to your pc no selfhosting required lol

    Most of the popular ones have apps you can download seperately and the server just works to connect devices and allow you to use a web interface if necessary, like if you want a pc app it already works like a pc app, its just accessed through your webbrowser?

    These do tend to be open source so they aren't also going to make free apps in different codebases and pay developer fees, not realistic, what is realistic is web apps that ppl can easily copy and host themselves. They aren't android/ios developers.
