Here, a person added GPL as a proposed alternative.

I somehow couldn’t bear the “self-scratch self-praise” top part of the post, but starting with
"But the balance is crucial" it was really interesting to read! Contrary to my initial fears, it’s not a self-praise post, but actually useful and talks about problems too.

Though you can cycle for free ^^
And that’s most frequently the fastest and easiest transport between two points in a city, by a margin.
(I’m still envious about the rail prices.)

I’m envious. In the Netherlands, you can only buy a train pass for 376 Euros. And that’s just the train: no buses, no trams, not even those faster “intercity” trains.

Grok this grok that…
I’m sorry, but ***k grok. Stop posting about it.

disroot is quite decent. I like their (privacy) vibe and the set of semi-independent services they provide.

Yeah that’s a great idea! I use that too. An encrypted USB drive makes sure you can trust the data not leaking, and spaced repetition can (should) be practiced to memoize the password. Then you’re good I’d say.

Technically KeePass can “merge” and has some sort of conflict resolution, but you’re right that forgotten and unaddressed conflicts can lay around for unlimited time without you noticing. It’s the main problem with keepass + syncthing.

It’s a bit sad that you’re downvoted so hard. You obviously have good intentions, just not having a good grasp yet if I may be frank. The solutions in this post are what you should follow IMO. In short, USB thumb/hdd drives with your important data. Encrypt the whole USB if your devices are under Linux if you wish. Use a proper password manager like KeePass to secure it additionally, with a strong master password of course.

If you know the details of this war, you know that the Russian military is not driven by “motivation”. Instead, it’s beatings, threats of death, humiliation etc.

… And with this in mind, do you discourage people with this attitude from buying the cybertrack, or rather encourage?..

Dilemma, I guess. Most of us want neither the dumm looking trucks nor the attitude.

Mike: rachel and i are no longer dating

rachel: mike that’s a horrible way of telling people we’re married

TL&DR: Rust is officially adopted, and thus no longer experimental.

It’s actually a mistake done in a hurry, according to a comment by the author of the post below.

Yes! Thanks!

I must be blind, I don’t see it. Is it a part of the two pictures in the body of the post, or the referenced image? (The referenced image does not open for me.)

I’ve updated my comment to remove the question and provide the info Eq0 posted right away.

P.S. It’s a tall order on the internet, but please - chill a bit! I was asking a question, I don’t even know how that can be “literally incorrect”. I guess I should know better than asking questions on aggro topics. The main referenced picture doesn’t open for me BTW, only the two images in the body of the post.

Does that include the fact that Europe has more than twice the population of the US? So road fatalities are actually 4x if you calculate per person?

That’s bizarre. Did you try clearing up the hidden folders .stfolder and .stversions and starting from scratch? I’m not doubting that you experience what you experience, I just never had it and I’m curious how you can even get to such a state. Using “syncthing fork” from F-Droid and Syncthing-v2.0.12 on desktop.

Hey, welcome to the concept of self-hosting! This is where I was 15+ years ago.

Realistically, I’d just recommend installing something and trying it out. You’ll iterate many time before you’ll slowly start to align somewhere I suspect, in terms of software/approaches etc.

If you want the very first steps, then why not simply connect your old PC to a monitor and install a Desktop version of Mint? It’s super-“wrong”, but it’ll get you started. Once you reach a stage of not wanting to waste memory/CPU on a graphical system, you’ll be able to do something like systemctl disable lightdm.service and voila, graphics don’t load on start anymore. Once you get even more confident, apt remove gdm3 xfce4 xfdesktop will remove any extra disk space (I’m dropping DE names that I approximately remember off the top of my head). With the packages for graphics gone, your system is indistinguishable from a server now.

Overall it’s a nice path to walk, or at least it was fun and somewhat educative and very frustrating and giving a sense of control for me personally. Do you have any specific questions?
