Using a phone is simpler if all you have on you is your phone, which was my use case when my bank hadn't offloaded their wallet app to gpay. That, and having the phone already in h…

Keep an eye on [Asahi Linux]( https://asahilinux.org/ ), then. A cursory glance shows Me support not being complete yet, but I assume it will be in time (and the missing stuff may …

"Swipe right" doesn't do anything for me (Fennec on Android).

I've been running it on my NAS-slash-homeserver for... 5 or 6 years now, I think. Root on a single SSD, data on a few HDDs in RAID1. It's been great so far. My desktops are all btr…

Not sure about "all", but apart from that article being more pissy than strictly necessary, RAID1 can now, in fact survive losing ore than one disk. That is, provided you use RAID1…

This used to be my go-to Flexbox reference, but Josh' guide supplanted it.

For a static site, you could use a stand-alone server like webmentiond[1]. Seems like that'd integrate similarly to what you're running now, but under your own control. There's als…

The entire problem would be solved, mostly, if more sites would support and use webmentions by default. That way we don't need centralized hubs, we don't need to have a gazillion s…

To be fair, a DE does quote a bit more than just "showing wallpaper and few windows". If that's your only use, switch to something like Window Maker or maybe something even more sp…

If it works for you, why would you be doing it wrong?

How is this different from just using different DNS settings on your OS?

Nice writeup, and at the core not too different from what I'm doing myself (albeit with the server at home, not colo'd, and the specs are far more modest). The only thing I'd chang…

Or, if that is not sufficient, one of the increasing number of ethical and/or self-hosted services, like Plausible? There is no need whatsoever to ship this kind of data to an outs…

In this case it's certainly going to cost them some revenue, not to mention the EU might slap them with a nice GDPR fine for leaking PII.

Being open and making clear that you understood you goofed would be total opposite of the Streisand effect - where you'd try to _silence_ discourse with the unintended effect of am…

I believe Discourse was planning things but decided to scrap them. The person behind PixelFed (a federated Instagram-like platform) hinted at a [forum platform]( https://mastodon.s…

To be fair, AdGuard Home is an open source project under GPL, so there's that.

To be fair, it is possible to download the drivers without the experience bullshit.

On the company's copier, of course. You don't want to have to pay for something like that yourself, like some pleb, do you?

Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if it actually _was_ a ton.

This is not so much a ux problem as an "marketeers gonna marketeer" problem. It happened before with blog comments, it happens now with "social" media, it'll happen with whatever c…

> I really don't understand those artists and writers you mention. Why on earth would they not use their own platform to present their content? Ease of use. Plenty of folks don't h…

After peeking at that BP My Home Plugin - wouldn't your use case also be covered by Nextcloud with a sprinkling of apps? There's a very capable RSS reader available, notes apps, ca…

But then by RSS, which makes it a web thing, which sure sounds like a blog.

Which, to the general public, doesn't matter one iota. Luckily, there's other platforms that, apart from giving you more options wrt your database backend, embrace newer PHP practi…
