I've read a lot of outcry about this wrt self-hosted mail servers.

Some say this is fatal, some say it has no effect. Both sides seem to have valid technical arguments. It would be nice to understand the effects better.

My biased opinion is that most people run Nextcloud on an underpowered platform, and/or they install and enable every possible addon. Many also skip some important configurations.

If you run NC on a bit more powerful machine, like a used USFF PC, with a good link to it, the experience is better than e.g. OneDrive.

Another thing is, people say "Nextcloud does too much", but a default installation really doesn't do much more than files. If you add every imaginable app, sure it slows down and gets buggy. Disable everything you don't need, and the experience gets much better. You can disable even the built-in Photos app if you don't need it.

Not saying NC is a speed daemon, but it really is OK. The desktop and mobile clients don't get enough love, that's true.

I'm talking about the "bare metal" installation or the community Apache/FPM container images. AIO seems to be a hot mess, and does just about everything a container shouldn't be doing, but that's just my opinion.

Keep at it! The learning curve is not a straight line, just like with any skill. You'll see fast progress, just to be followed by a long plateau of no progress or even feel you're getting worse. And then you notice possibly big improvement again. And again.

Don't worry about following sheets/chords initially. If chords are not in your muscle memory, you're basically doing three complex tasks simultaneously, reading, figuring out chords and fingering chords. I'd try to memorize one or two simple pieces first, to get the chords under your belt. Start simple and stay patient, it'll take time.

Don't forget the rhythm. Play on top of recordings. You can be pretty liberal with the harmonics, but if you keep a steady beat it'll probably still sound good.

There's occasionally something buggy, but the last time I ran Windows there were a lot of bugs too. They're just abstracted away, which Linux DEs don't do at all.

For me, it's about choosing the bugs that bug me less. If Windows is working better for you, just run Windows. Internet points are not worth much.

Flashing the stock Pixel ROM back is just as simple as flashing GrapheneOS, the instructions in GOS website are very good for both.

The only two things I can think of that might be issues are banking apps and Google Pay, if you use that. I use Play services in the main profile and honestly there's not much difference to the stock ROM in terms of user experience. Even Android Auto works nowadays.

For the banking apps, you can have a look at https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/. Just note that if your bank is not on the list, it doesn't necessarily mean it wont work.

Imagine if all the people who prefer systemd would write posts like this as often as the opposition. Just use what you like, there are plenty of distros to choose from.

Tässähän on se, että sitten ollaan ilmeisesti periaatteessa rikollisia kun käytetään takaportitonta viestisovellusta.. Mutta en kyllä usko, että tuota lakia pystyy mitenkään valvomaan. Esim Matrix pyörii kuitenkin HTTPS:n alla, omien kotipalvelimien blokkaaminen olisi melkoinen operaatio.

Kaikista masentavinta koko jutussa on, että suurin osa ihmisistä ei tiedä tästä todella vakavasta yksityisyyden riiston riskistä yhtään mitään.

Mutta samaa mieltä, tämä on kaikin puolin ihan järjetön lakialoite. Jos menee läpi, niin on kyllä usko yhteiskuntaan aika vähissä. Käytännössähän tuo menisi varmaan niin että "rehellisten" ihmisten viestit sitten luetaan ja muiden tavara kulkee edelleen salattuna, kuten tähänkin asti.

Entäs pankkiviestintä, verohallinto, etälääkärijutut...?

Briteissähän meni vastaava laki jo läpi, tosin höllensivät sitä, kun Apple uhkasi blokata iMessagen koko saarivaltiolta.

Saapahan hyvän syyn painostaa perhe ja tutut käyttämään Matrixia, jos Whatsappiin tulee takaportti. Se, että Meta pääsee viesteihin ei ole tuntunut hetkauttavan ketään.

In my limited experience, when Podman seems more complicated than Docker, it's because the Docker daemon runs as root and can by default do stuff Podman can't without explicitly giving it permission to do so.

99% of the stuff self-hosters run on regular rootful Docker can run with no issues using rootless Podman.

Rootless Docker is an option, but my understanding is most people don't bother with it. Whereas with Podman it's the default.

Docker is good, Podman is good. It's like comparing distros, different tools for roughly the same job.

Pods are a really powerful feature though.

Coming soon to EU, probably.

I started using gestures, and haven't been able to transition away since.

Both have their pros and cons.

This must be related to people in their 20's not knowing how to read a traditional clock anymore.
