This is not AI bullshit?

Per their own description

MCP is an open protocol that enables AI models to securely interact with local and remote resources through standardized server implementations. This list focuses on production-ready and experimental MCP servers that extend AI capabilities through file access, database connections, API integrations, and other contextual services.

It’s ironic that they’d complain that their PRs are just auto-generated slop when they’re collating tools for that exact purpose. They made that bed, so now they should lie in it.

I thought it was something related to Minecraft, but it’s a slop enabler so honestly, poetic justice. If someone who peddles slop is upset about receiving slop, I’m happy.

For me it’s federation and encryption. Yeah obviously, if I’m in a public space then encryption means fuck all, but for messages between me and close friends I want encryption.

So it’s a little more than just sending notifications, then.

I’m sorry, how many lines of code for that?

Aye, same. I’m Swedish. Not thrilled about the U.S. threatening to invade Greenland, or kidnapping heads of state. Denmark has been sucking up to the U.S. a lot through the years which goes to show that you can’t trust the U.S., ever.

Never used Pangolin, so I’ve no idea. Sorry.

A lot of people are boycotting as many things from the U.S. as they can because of the warmongering paedophile, and his cadre of paedo crooks.

It’s not exactly exciting to buy into products when you have that stinky orange mess breathing down your neck about how he’s going to invade your continent and annex countries.

Netbird is a European company headquartered in Berlin. It’s fully FOSS and you can self-host the entire stack, unlike Tailscale which relies on a third party implementation.

There’s a script on their github that makes setup super easy.

That said, I’ve no idea where their servers are, if you opt to use their servers instead of hosting your own.

Edit: oh yeah, they also have a YouTube channel with updates and guides.

If you disabled the GPU in the UEFI you’ll have to re-enable it in the UEFI.

It uses Traefik by default, actually. I’m struggling to get the reverse proxy function to cooperate with me still hosting other things on the VPS. I use it not just as my Netbird coordinator, but also to host my Forge and site.

It’s nice, the quickstart script is super easy to use and gets you started… well quickly. I’m still figuring the reverse proxy bit out, but it fully replaced tailscale for me in about ~10 minutes?

Nope.

NetBird is European. The stack itself is FOSS and self-hostable instead of relying on third party projects, like Headscale. It has a reverse-proxy feature in beta that was also appealing.

NetBird also utilises Coturn for STUN and TURN, and I’ve other software that depends on Coturn, so that kind of went hand-in-hand.

I recently switched from tailscale to NetBird. Similar solution but FOSS and self-hostable.

Have you exposed the subnet the services are on, onto the Tailscale network?

It’s definitely the latter. These are writing contracts to buy hardware that has yet to be produced for data centres that haven’t been built. All so they can satisfy a demand that doesn’t yet exist for a product no one is going to be willing to pay for.

It will crash. This whole grift is too expensive to keep going. The naysayers keep forgetting that hardware gets old, it wears out and fails, and gets superseded by newer models. The chip makers are riding high now because the idiotic belief of the market is that this will keep growing as the data centres keep being built and the AI companies will keep buying new hardware.

It just can’t. This candle is burning fast at both ends.

What services are you referring to when you say “these services?”

Seems like e2ee is being worked on for Meet as well.

Simplicity for users and support staff.

I don’t think that the average user cares for customisation far beyond wallpaper, and perhaps theme. Note I’m not saying average Linux user, I mean average person using a device. Think your aunt who can’t plug in the printer. Faced with too many options people shut down.

If you have a distro and need to offer support for it, it also helps if you can write guides and instructions for a single type of scenario. With Windows you can say “right click the start menu, click device manager…” etc, but that’s not quite as easy on Linux. You can always direct people to the terminal, but again, the average user is likely to balk at the idea.

Choosing a dedicated DE means you have less to maintain, and less to support, and can focus your efforts elsewhere.

I bought a Flint 2 last year. I’m very happy with it.

I love this, because I feel the complete opposite in some regards. I love the simplicity of GNOME. There are some weird UI decisions; I much prefer to have the dock available on the desktop than to use the application switcher every time, but that’s about it. GNOME is very thematically consistent, it’s simple, and it works smoothly. It has enough customisation where the sensible defaults fall short, at least for me, but theme-wise I really like Adwaita the way it is.

I use KDE on my laptop though, and I enjoy the tinkering with it. Feel like it’s fairly unstable though, Plasma just crashes at times when you tinker with it (though so far it’s never happened in normal usage). Design-wise it feels much too cluttered, but there’s a lot of options to play with to make things at least almost the way I’d like it.

We’re spoiled for choice, and that’s awesome. There’s something for everyone.
