Wow, thank you kind sir 😊

Thank you for the archive link. 🫡

They’ll max send you a warning 😊 from experience.

I have yet to see pirating actually cause civilian deaths but i hear you. It harms corporations’ profits which is a far worse crime in some people’s eyes. But it’s a matter of ideology not suited in /c/selfhosted :)

Eh it’s fair game

Recommend doing a jellyfin server with an *arr stack! Prowlarr, radarr, sonarr, plus qbittorrent. Bonus if you can integrate i2p in there so you don’t have to rely on a VPN :)

there’s also Nextcloud AIO docker. I use it to sync my photos and escape Apple’s 5gb max free-tier backup

Maybe add some assorted services like an invidious instance, Searxng instance?

Welcome to the self hosting rabbit hole!

Replace “:” with “a” you get

a() a a&; a

Reformatting

a() {

a | a &

};

a

So it creates a function, a, which what it does is it calls itself and pipes its output to itself (the a | a). The ampersand means that this will run entirely in the background. Then, to initiate things, the command calls a (in the last line)

So, there will be exponentially be many recursive calls to a, which will eventually deplete your stack and set your pc on fire

Looks good! Can it go with prowlarr?

Im out of the loop here. What’s an AD? 🤔

I love me a no-js, simple search engine 😋

I’ve only ever self-hosted SearxNG but i wanna try out LibreY. As for who gets rate-linited less, if you self host for yourself plus some friends i’d be surprised if you have Google rate limiting your searches. I didn’t run a problem with mine anyways. I like the “torrents” feature of LibreY tho. I might self host and report back.

I hope they make it self-hostable.

This man self-hosts

LOL wait till the company your proprietary software relies on tanks or makes a shitty change for their benefit.

It’s sad you built a career out of black box code lmao. I guess 20 years isn’t enough to read the writing on the wall: proprietary code is shit. Black boxes are shit. I piss on your profession

Is it that top of the line software truly doesn’t exist for linux, that it’s impossible to the work done, or is it possible BUT you have to spend more time tinkering and learning the quirks of quite admittedly rough around the edges open source software? That yes, it’s less efficient, but actually more rewarding knowing that the software you worked on was open source. And one you actually learn how to use open source software, nobody can take it away from you.

Look at unity! They gutted the program through its egregious licensing structure and now people are scrambling for alternatives. People that sticked with Godot didn’t have the same trouble. It was just another Wednesday

Of course open source can’t play on the same level as proprietary software right now. It doesn’t have the same money thrown at it than proprietary software! But the appeal of open source is that every change is guaranteed to benefit you, not some arbitrary bottom line. Proprietary software is polished, but you are at the whims of a big tech company.

If i were to base my profession on software, spend literal years of my life depending on code, i really would fucking like to look inside that shit sometimes. Anything else is like building a skyscraper out of quicksand

There is a trade off i guess if you put it that way. Would you rather tinker and make your software work for you, or would you install a shitty bloated operating system that routinely trades your data like pokemon cards just so you can install a handful of programs comfortably.

Real change requires real change

List of things to consider

1. There are alternatives
2. You can use wine
3. You can run a windows VM and install it there
4. Dual boot windows
5. Microsoft has built a proprietary moat around their operating system. The reason why it’s hard to switch from Windows is by corporate design. A mix of early adoption, network effects, and just plain cold hard cash makes them dominate the operating system market. Of course it’s infeasible for your 60yo coworker to switch; but KDE presents an alternate reality, an opportunity, for people fed up with big tech’s bullshit. Yes, figure out how to run and use alternatives you fucking nut. Way to go disparaging countless volunteer hours spent on open source projects so that people like me can switch to linux.

Comments like these make me irrationally angry. Why complain about open source software and give bad PR? It’s open source; contribute.

Which specific game do you play that made you switch?

Mesmerizing

I want to be a developer and help out the jellyfin community. I started with plex but it felt wrong trusting a corpo with my movie collection, and on top of that I am allergic to paywalls, so I switched to jellyfin and never looked back.

I have someee programming experience, but i’ve never had a real job as a programmer. Where can I start?

Good bot, keep it up
