In Poland we have “Hunger is the best condiment”, I guess it might be something similar

Most people who are in dev aren’t maintaining shit.

I disagree, but maybe what I do in “dev” is a bubble where things are different.

They are going to care if you can maintain your code. Programming isn’t “write, throw it over the fence and forget about it”, you usually have to work with what you - or your coworkers - have already done. “Reading other people’s code” is, like, 95% of the programmers job. Sometimes the output of a week long, intensive work is a change in one line of code, which is a result of deep understanding of a project which can span through many files, sometimes many small applications connected with each other.

ChatGPT et al aren’t good at that at all. Maybe they will be in the future, but at the moment they are not.

I remember some PCs had an option in BIOS to turn on at specific time

I think most people can believe that he knows something about manufacturing, but almost everyone doubts that he “knows more than anyone currently alive on this planet”. Those are quite different things.

I’d rather say that it’s “learning from history of similar services”. Facebook also seemed nice in the beginning.

You need to buy an Apple-branded computer to use it (at least legally). It’s price is just included in the device you buy.

I personally switched from NextCloud to Syncthing.

Syncthing:

• is easier for me to maintain,
• allows for the “server” to be behind NAT,
• lets me have multiple “servers” at the same time (eg. something at home and a VPS)
• lets me have certain “servers” set as untrusted, so all data on them is encrypted, while others can have it unencrypted for easier access I put “server” in quotes, as Syncthing doesn’t really have a server, all clients are equal peers.

On the other hand, NextCloud:

• gives me a way to share files by link with others,
• lets me browse files via a web interface,
• mobile app lets me access files as I need them instead of having to synchronize everything.

I wonder how it compares with Ergo IRC Server. Seems to take the more minimalistic approach.

It uses systemd services. My understanding is that it aims to have the applications installed in the most straightforward way possible - avoiding containers where possible.

Looks like YunoHost, but hearing about the licensing issues, I’ll stick with YunoHost.

I did! Don’t expect too much stability out of it, but I was surprised to say that the latest version worked pretty stable and nicely for me. I can definitely recommend it.

for those out of the loop

Yes, it aired on TV here

It’s mandated by the EU: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:52021XC1229(06) (see point 6a).

Vim/Emacs/… starter kits achieve the same experience.

Which Vim/Emacs/… starter kit sets up the same keyboard navigation model as Helix uses? I think that it’s its main strength, the selection -> action approach, which is quite intuitive (at least for me once I’ve tried) is what really matters in Helix. The rest is just an addition, the one that makes it a quite competent and convenient environment to work with, but an addition.
