So it’s not Federated yet; just “Federated”.

You found a solution and you are looking for a problem.

This is not the way it goes. You identify a problem, and if the solution involves self-hosting then you solve it with self-hosting.

Yep. I’m gonna miss real engineering with the coming Ai-driven Idiocracy.

No need to wait aeons for someone who enjoys the sound of their own voice to slowly and laboriously explain it like astronomy to a dog. Someone wrote 15 words and I read it in about a half-second.

With enamel regrowing constantly after the smallest scratch, cavities cannot get to where they form.

This hokum story is promising no more cavities ever.

People who keep their kids inside but let their pets play in traffic are psychopaths.

I know what I said.

Yep. But owncloud went from old and idle to active again. It seems to be a more LTS take on it where NextCloud is your All Features Faster mandate.

Just show me the one that doesn’t rely on containers, venvs, npm or other supply-chain risks.

Yep, two reasons I’m out.

Depends.

Some I cultivated afterwards - gave some space, and later pitched a “I don’t want to get back together but I miss hanging out. Lemme buy coffee” to usually good effect. If you’re compatible as friends still, it could be a very strong friendship. But you broke up for a reason, so keep that in mind.

But sometimes you’re really incompatible and a simple friendship isn’t even healthy for you two. That’s okay too.

They don’t realize the colors are arbitrary. Many don’t realize the internet spans the world.

Socialism and democracy are good words in some countries. Socialism is how my sister in law gets to retire at 55 and in excellent health, and democracy is how they got that.

should be a right, absolutely if you’ve done nothing wrong.

The loss of privacy happens before the determination whether that person has done anything wrong. If the person’s criminal case goes well, do you have a time machine to go back and not invade privacy?

Yay! Pick an arbitrary solution to a problem just because it’s different and shiny! The shine will fix it!

I dearly wish to use and support this app.

But here’s the thing: containers - like so many other mechanisms - suffer from supply-chain risks due to reduced validation to the degree assumed and required compared to, say, good packaging that integrates with the resident source of truth on a given system. Containers, like so many other risky mechanisms that dates back to CPAN or earlier, cannot exist in a secure environment.

For those of us working where we can to minimize repair/recovery work through best practice, Immich cannot be run.

I know there’s a homebrew workaround, but given it’s external to the dev effort it’s a risk that it won’t suddenly work as a reliable update resource; and that risk stymies uptake for us.

Now, I know I’ve suggested there’s imperfection in a number of favourite technologies and methods, and that’s fine. If downvotes is how you defend these sacred cows, I understand.

Correct: it’s like trying to equate “correct” with “popular”, and keeping in mind how the last US elections have turned out.

But it’s good to be in a big network of other users with the same product, nonetheless.

Anything docker-free?

Still crutching on containers?

It’s fun to dereference initialisms the first time you use them.

Yum-cron. Daily. Rolling bounce on a schedule.

It has been rock-solid for 20 years, but lennart’s cancer and the growing amount of shite they’re shoveling into EL has caused a few issues here and there with 7, 9 and 10. (Skipped 8 because f that)

But, today, it works. So that’s year 23 and 8 months.

There’s a huge gulf between pub clowd and shitty on-prem. My daytime contract is with an organization almost completely on-prem for privacy, although on-prem to them means priv-cloud. Space has been rented. Redundant everything piped in. Redundant everything set up. We run VMs by terraform. Wheeeeee

Point is, posing shitty on-prem as the alternative to the clowd is moving the goalposts a bit.

The fact that Cisco has been able to triangulate your phone’s wifi mac position in 2d space for a decade is unrelated. It’s how protesters are being tagged and tracked on the day.
