Funny, my mom told me about this years ago but didn’t mention that it was about Iraq or Iran.
The only issue I ever had was Arch ARM changing the naming convention for network devices and making me have to plug the first Raspberry Pi that I upgraded into a monitor to debug what was going on.
This was annoying for sure, but less annoying than using a 6 year old Python version like the Red Hat Enterprise Linux at work…
My point is that there is an actual difference. It’s not just a repackaged web app, and has actual drawbacks.
My personal plan is to move as much of my day to day stuff to a Mecha Comet, and also carry my Fairphone running Android for whatever proprietary crap that the world wants me to run. It’s two devices, but hopefully will minimize exposure to big tech.
My bank requires using a card reader for ID if you use a web browser. It can be done but it means carrying three physical things (phone, bank card, bank card reader) instead of one (phone).


If you’re relying on Cloudflare are you even self-hosting?
I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted.
I’m a long time Linux user and cannot get everything on my laptop to work (just the built in microphone, but still).
And yet half the time when I’m root I preface with sudo. I can’t stop myself!
You’re asking people working for the non-profit to accept lower pay of tens of thousands of dollars? So basically because someone doesn’t make a personal sacrifice of a significant fraction of their salary you’re not willing to help at all?
I don’t like or accept this logic.
Tell us about punchcards again, grandpa! 😉
Just kidding. Solaris came out after I got my undergraduate degree…
It was all over the second Google changed their motto from “don’t be evil”.


This but without the /s
You can move and make new friends!
Not sure what to do about the family though. 😔


I enjoy Organic Maps.
I switched like 25 years ago. For a long time I had a Windows partition for booting up games, until Microsoft stopped accepting my old licenses. Luckily I really didn’t care at that point.
One alert daily reporting that there are no alerts is probably good for a home lab…
