Dude, life is too short to wash spoons with your hands
If people wanna steal my code they can steal it, it’s why I publish it. It’s not that good anyway
I don’t agonize over every line of public code or anything, I just make it reasonably maintainable and generalized enough to be useful to people who aren’t me. If it’s a throwaway bash script with hardcoded paths and such, why would I put it up anywhere?
Not really, If it’s throwaway then I don’t publish it anywhere.
My open source work is published under my real name because I feel like if someone is running my code, they should know who I am? Also it helps with my CV and such. I don’t go into politics or anything controversial though, keep it pretty professional.
Ubuntu is dead
Kinda showed your ass with this one
It’s a gag, I promise. He’s talked about it on their podcast
The guy who wrote it is the editor-in-chief.
First I’d ask if you need to open ports at all - if this is only for your family’s use then Tailscale or one of its alternatives can accomplish the same goal without opening ports in your firewall or worrying about security flaws in your hosted services.
If it’s for public use, maybe consider cloudflare tunnel?
Personally I use miniflux, which has been amazing. It offers the fever and Google reader APIs, which many phone apps can talk to which means the UI can be almost whatever you want (I’m using reeder on iOS)
It supports all the feed formats, but for sites that don’t offer a feed you’ll need some other solution like kill-the-newsletter.com
That’s fair, but I’ll point out that eating is sort of a subscription model.
‘dd if=image.iso of=/dev/do_not_fuck_this_up bs=4M’ is a complete tutorial
It doesn’t? Been a month or two since I updated the ISO but I’ve never had a problem
I know nothing about this person, but on multiple occasions I’ve had the thought that if I was a gazillionaire, I’d sponsor a bunch of open source. Maybe this is that? I’ll choose to stay hopeful (though I’m kinda dumb about this sorta stuff)
Your quoted paragraph is the only sane alternative to the ad supported internet. Think Fastmail vs gmail - both are run for a profit, but fastmail’s business model is to simply sell subscriptions. Their incentives are better aligned with the consumer, and while nobody’s going to become a billionaire off the company I have to imagine that they have a very reliable customer base.
Good software should be paid for, devs gotta eat
If only you and your family are using a service it’s better not to open ports to the public internet anyway. Tailscale or another VPN will solve this nicely and your ISP won’t be able to tell aside from bandwidth usage
My advice is to just use Tailscale. It’s a 5 minute setup and you get access to your stuff from anywhere, securely, without opening ports to the public internet. It will give your server a second IP address, which you will be able to access from any other device which is also registered to your Tailscale account.
My personal setup:
Pacdiff does this on arch-based distros
Heathrow is the fucking worst, I hate it so much. No windows, not enough seating because they need the space to sell overpriced cosmetics and luxury watches. Fucking keep your gate a secret until 20 minutes before departure to make sure you don’t sneak off and miss a chance to do a capitalism
Use any old computer you have lying around as a server. Use Tailscale to connect to it, and don’t open any ports in your home firewall. Congrats, you’re self-hosting and your risk is minimal.
