I used Nextcloud to store and share sensitive information like insurance, identity and tax documents. Not a big deal if it was ever down for a while, but I didn’t trust it was hardened enough. Only other thing I was using it for was backups and I switched to S3 for that.
I know what I’m doing and good at following best practice, etc. But at the end of the day I’m just a dude running docker. There’s too much to lose if there was ever a 0-day or I misconfigured something.
Docker:
I used to run Bitwarden and Nextcloud but I didn’t trust it to be always available and too risky to host on my own.
Running on:
Nobody has mentioned SeaMonkey.
Basically Firefox but looks and feels like classic Netscape/Mozilla.
Checkout the SeaMonkey project. Uses Firefox’s engine but looks and feels just like the Netscape/Mozilla suite.
Yeesh, a bit alarmist. For a while you couldn’t build GNOME 3.30+ on Gentoo without systemd but they figured it out by splitting out the necessary component into its own package (elogind). The list of hard depencies on systemd isn’t very long.
This article is weird. They could’ve just said GNU/Linux. It spends more time speaking to the finer points of distinction between the userlands than it does the data or conclusions.
Eh, it has a share button but all it does is copy the task title and whether it’s complete or not. No due date/time or any other information.
I really like Tasks.org.
Gentoo uses portage, and portage uses ebuilds which are like recipes for compiling and installing software from source. Similar to FreeBSD ports. There are many user contributed ebuild repos out there, like the AUR but not as robust. Easy to add a repo with eselect-repository, but can’t search across repos on the package level until you add it.
One big advantage of a source based distro is the ability to compile your software specifically for the processor your box is running on. Every other distribution uses safe CFLAGS and typically doesn’t enable additional optimizations for compatibility reasons.
And like OP said, you can activate or disable just about any feature in your software. You can also build your system any way you want, like with musl instead of glibc, or OpenRC instead of systemd.
OpenSUSE back in 2006 was my first when I was 14. I still use it today on Tumbleweed. I played console games mostly up until Valve released Steam on Linux. Now I have a headless Windows 10 box and stream all my games to whatever device I’m using. Running Gentoo on the server though.
Sounds like Bandcamp but with a subscription. Not exactly reinventing the wheel here guys…
