Not just that, it also devalues the information contained within as extortion leverage.

If everyone already knows, how's he gonna threaten Senator Perpetrator with exposure?

Edit: grammar

Except that, apparently you can? A recent post I made on Lemmy had replies from Mastodon accounts afaict

Season three was freaking amazing!

It's like the album your favorite band made when they were trying to get kicked off the label and did all the dumb shit they always wanted to do but didn't have the money.

Season three is some of the best ST ever made

Okay. Thanks for sharing though. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Iykyk. But, description in the post body -- hit the post button by accident.

 

... eating ice cream directly from the pint.

It always destroys spoons eventually, might as well use ones too sharp, too tinny, too light, the wrong shape, or with just the wrong bend in them already.

Edit: for all the head scratchers out there, it's a trait some of us neurodivergent folks have. Some forks or spoons or whatever are nice to hold, and some are actually upsetting to use.

I dunno... It's wearing a little more makeup I suppose. It has more dumb user things working out of the box, last I checked. Differentiating them has worked well enough for me that I haven't done a deep comparison in many years.

I feel seen. Descriptions were apt.

One category missed though, is oldsters like me who started on slack or yggdrassyl, lived on Debian for a decade, and moved to Mint because, eh, feck it, I don't want to think about configs anymore.

That said, I use mint for my daily, and Debian for anything that does headless work.

I like the sound of that!

However it looks like has a lot of potential for a 'xz' style exploit injection, so I'll probably skip it.

From the project's README.md : The current maintainer continues to apply pull requests and makes regular releases, but unfortunately has no capacity to do any development beyond addressing high-impact issues. When reporting bugs, please understand that unless you are including a pull request or are reporting a critical issue, you will probably not get a response.

I can't decide if I'm happy or disappointed that no one suggested I make a Beyowolf cluster.

Thanks for that caveat. I could definitely see myself falling into that

See, this is interesting. I'm out here looking for the new shiny easy button, but what I'm hearing is "the old config-file based thing works really well. ain't broken, etc."

I may give that a swing and see.

this looks promising. Seems a little heavy-weight at first glance... How was it to get up and running?

 

I recently replaced an ancient laptop with a slightly less ancient one.

  • host for backups for three other machines
  • serve files I don't necessarily need on the new machine
  • relatively lightweight - "server" is ~15 years old
  • relatively simple - I'd rather not manage a dozen docker containers.
  • internal-facing
  • does NOT need to handle Android and friends. I can use sync-thing for that if I need to.

Left to my own devices I'd probably rsync for 90% of that, but I'd like to try something a little more pointy-clicky or at least transparent in my dotage.

Edit: Not SAMBA (I freaking hate trying to make that work)

Edit2: for the young'uns: NFS (linux "network filesystem")

Edit 3: LAN only. I may set up a VPN connection one day but it’s not currently a priority. (edited post to reflect questions)

Last Edit: thanks, friends, for this discussion! I think based on this I'll at least start with NFS + my existing backups system (Mint's thing, which is I think just a gui in front of rcync). May play w/ modern SAMBA if I have extra time.

Ill continue to read the replies though - some interesting ideas.
