My problem is that I'm moving in the not so far future and I don't know where to put my server. Physical security is important and if someone gets into my house, takes the computer and leaves, it'll be worthless due to encryption. But if it's in somebody's datacenter (co-location or whatever), they could be forced to monitor my traffic, tamper with my system, and I'd have to entrust the key to somebody in order to boot the system and decrypt the drives should it restart for an update or for any other reason.

I'm considering asking a friend to host the homeserver and reimburse them for a better internet connection (fiber) + electricity costs. But I'm not sure they'd be up for it.

How would you solve the problem?

Hey! Another nixos user ๐Ÿ˜ What are you using for your VPS? nixos-infect? nixos-everywhere?

As for mini PCs, a friend bought one from Minis Forum and quite likes it. But if you want to support the opensource ecosystem, there are tuxedo computers and slimbook. There's also starlabs byte.

Take your pick :)

Sure, the anticapitalists won't be anticapitalistic. That's just an excuse not to vote "they're both the same", then wonder why right wingers keep driving countries closer to the cliff edge.

Don't want this to happen? Vote for a left wing party in your area or nationally. Change won't be immediate, but every vote counts. The right wingers are friends of business and unfettered capitalism. They will let this happen time and time again.

If it's on peertube, I might follow it. On YouTube, even if I watched it, it'd be through yt-dlp and thus no views for you (at least not officially).

How does one get a job like this? This is great! I want to get a job in a school or university and infect it with linux. "Guys, look! It's cheaper and we can set it up then pay for support which still makes it cheaper and students can learn how to use it on their computers too, since it's freely available to them!"

What is this? It jumps in explaining features and details about other stuff, but doesn't explain the basic goal. There are also no screenshots except of some table. It's not clear how to use this thing.

Thanks for the response. So there's a bunch of stuff to do myself but also surprisingly enough stuff for an editor.

I'll take a deeper look at it.

After reading this, I'm kinda curious how it compares to JetBrains. It's becoming more and more VSCode like and I'm not a fan.

Does Kate support or have plugins for renaming symbols, presenting documentation, formatting files, showing code diagnostics beyond syntax errors (for example code smells or so), have AI integration (explain this, rewrite this, replace this with prompt output, ...), specific framework integrations (reactjs, django, actix, ...), and stuff like expanding macros in C/C++ and Rust?

Interesting. But what's the Wayland protocol have to do with it? Where does that come in?

A blog entry on how it works and what it does at a high level could be nice. I'm not sure what I'm looking at, but there must be some API call to Lemmy and it's probably happening on the server due to CORS; not sure how this would work just in the browser if the Lemmy instance has CORS setup...

Edit: OK the instance 0d.gs does in fact not have CORS ๐Ÿ˜ฎ That's a little concerning...

Hold up, neither does programming.dev? Uh... @recursive_recursion@programming.dev and @Ategon@programming.dev is that safe? I'm not a security expert but doesn't this allow for cross site attacks?

I read the blog post and am still confused as to what this is. It's something I never used in X11 (if X11 supported it), therefore it's not possible for me to miss it.

Is this the "restart all applications you were running when you restart your computer" feature? Was it broken in Wayland? If so, why? I thought the desktop environment would take care of starting the processes, placing the windows, and so on.

Not entirely sure what the before and after of this are. The blog post and article are written as if people know what this feature is.
