Ahh. Bone Apple Tea moment.

This reaks of chatgpt. All the way down to the milktoast ending.

I really appreciate your super stark pro libre software attitude. I want to support you here. You should know that the approach you are taking is ultra abrasive and would probably cause more harm than help.

People would just associate libre software with militant weirdos, if all they saw where your posts.

If you want to make meaningful change I strongly recommend taking a softer less abrasive approach.

We want libre software to be connected with safety, friendliness and personal autonomy, not militarism, chanted phrases, and dogma.

Even on Lemmy the ultra pro libre software social network (relative to non federated networks) your current approach is off putting. I want you to succeed and I think a different approach may be better.

Just my two cents.

Fair. And I see it lol. My inbox is full of people who want to argue with me.

True. But for 99% of people baseline is what they use. Windows can be made very secure by experts but the fact is 99% of people just use windows as is.

You are preaching to the choir.

When it comes to privacy: GrapheneOS > iOS > android with Google.

Android itself is good. It’s just android with Google that’s the problem. (Aka 99.999% of all android phones sold outside of China)

Compared to any android phone the privacy is substantially better. Apple is in the business of selling overpriced phones. Google is in the data collection business.

I mean more money would solve the IP issue.

Step 1: Get more money Step 2: Buy additional dedicated IPs for the casino Step 3: Profit from the profits of a casino.

It does not matter if it lumps them together or not. Google still has 90% and they’re not Bing. Yandax another ~3% and they’re not Bing. That means at max Bing is 7% if you combine the rest. 3.5% vs 7% does not change the root of my argument.

Those points you make against Brave are valid though. I just run into too many people who are in the Brave cult and it’s concerning.

Lumping in Bing with Google is just unfair. Google controls like 90% of search. Bing is ~3.5%. Choosing duck duck go and helping that 3.5% is wayyyy better of a choice than supporting crypto bros.

Brave search is run by crypto bros. I’d rather use Kagi or DDG or even Google.

It’s ok. I would go with “user hostile” in this case.

Fair. But in that case best use a more appropriate word.

I get not being a fan but no toggle switch. But in this case it literally isn’t “enshittification”. Is it anti choice? Yes. Is it enshittification? No. Enshittification does not just mean “thing I don’t like”.

Here is a quote that describes what enshittification is:

Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a “two sided market”, where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.

I know “Enshittification” is the Lemmy word of the year but you can’t just call everything you don’t like enshittification.

This clearly isn’t it.

I agree that’s why most of my systems run btrfs. (Maybe soon bcachefs).

But XFS is in the same tier of “datedness” as EXT4, just with more performance. Some apps like ScyllaDB actually require XFS performance crazily enough.

Btrfs or XFS.

No idea why people are into EXT4. XFS is more performant by far.

As a workaround yes. Just do your NFS exports over WireGuard. WireGuard acts as the authentication and encryption.

SSHFS will be incredibly slow. I would avoid it personally.

NFS will be performant and is easy to set up. This being said by default NFS is without any security.

The problem is that Kerberos is a huge pain to set up. I would avoid this unless you really need Kerberos.

If you want security NFS + WireGuard will serve you well.

Also I would consider Samba/CIFS if it is for local convenient fine access. It’s not super secure but for me it’s a good trade off.
