Awesome!

Hopefully Firefox won’t follow.

I’ve been in a lot of anxiety because of politics and what’s going to happen and now after today I’m just scared. I guess I’ll have to figure out how to live once this is over. Do I just hope to continue as before with things just being worse off or are things going to change a lot?

I’ve been just trying to rationalize that most of this is outside my control and have to accept the world for what it’s becoming. I’ve already given up, I don’t want dreams I just want peace.

I thought I read there was an agreement with accessory manufacturers about keeping the same port for 10 years. Because they didn’t want to run into previous issue of the iPod pin port being discontinued quickly.

Surely all those do have FOSS alternatives?

Sync is by far my favorite app, it was “reddit” for me. Now that it points at Beehaw it’s even better. It has very good customization and fits right into Android’s themeing and standards very well. It’s basically the quality of Apollo, but for Android.

It does keep Russia from invading NATO countries.

I honestly thought it was already over $1T annually.

However, I still remained pretty worried about shipbuilding capacity, at least until the situation over Taiwan can be resolved. If there ever is a large conflict that causes loss in any significant amount in ships it will be very, very difficult to replace. The current shipyards have orders beyond what they can produce, but even more significantly there is a severe shortage in labor that can even build ships.

Also the comparisons he makes I strongly feel are quite poor. There is a large difference in the budgets of various countries in defense spending. Its really hard to argue that the US and France should spend in similar amounts due to size, population, and commitments. And the cost for manufacturing and paying salaries in the US is quite different than what China can do. So the US will always have to spend the more, though we do still in other measures such as a per capita basis its not as extreme as its made out to be.

System76 makes their own distro called PopOS. Their laptops right now are rebadged, but I’m sure they support them well. They are in the process of designing their own and I’m waiting to see how it compares to something like Framework.

I have been using Vikunja instead of Google Keep. I like the mix of todo list and kanban board. I also use audiobookshelf for podcasts and audiobooks, then calibre for regular books. And a very lightweight rss app.

I’m a little more advanced with selfhosting at this point though. I use a combination of intel NUCs (RIP) locally and Digital Ocean to run Kubernetes clusters. I have a whole setup with argocd, gitea, authentik, tekton, prometheus, loki, grafana, etc, etc. But its a been a learning process that started with a rpi too.

I highly recommend mini pcs for selfhosting. Especially the intel ones since they have quick sync which is a pretty good hardware transcoder. Not sure about AMD ones, they might have something similar.

Oh, I use homepage as a homepage, but there as so many and I sometimes switch around a lot. Its good to have variety there.

2 years ago? That’s seems like a normal cadence for OS releases.

If you use Let’s Encrypt, or any public CA, all of your domains and certificates will be public. You can use a wildcard to avoid revealing subdomains. There is a website that you can use to search what is available, but I don’t remember what it is.

I suspect there aren’t any serious risks to having that information revealed. The only real reason would be privacy against which services you are using on that domain.
