100%. I also never found it that hard but I’ve been doing this 20 years now and I’m still learning. I look back at what I did a year ago and I probably wouldn’t write it the same today. I’ve worked with people who don’t seem to have learned anything in 10 years and it baffles me.
It is my understanding that the only difference applies to hosted software. For example, Lemmy is AGPL. If it were GPL, then a company could take the source code, modify it and host their own version without open sourcing their modifications. AGPL extends to freedoms of GPL to users of hosted software as well.
A real example of this would be truth social which is modified Mastodon and as AGPL those modifications are required to be open source as well.
Definitely. What I didn’t mention is all that took over a month!
Been there many times. Had one case where support had to through the reseller who sold licenses in our country. Actual people who knew what they were talking about was tier 3.
We had a bug and were trying to report it and get a fix or workaround. Just told no, we’re doing it wrong. After a lot of back and forth we had to pay for an “expert” to fly over and show us what we were doing wrong. Turns out he wasn’t an expert, he was a salesmen. Made a demo for us on the flight and the first time he ran it was in our meeting room on projector.
Failed in exactly the way we had been saying. It was very satisfying.
Finally he phoned the dev team who confirmed the docs were wrong and we couldn’t do what we were trying.
I think another key difference is everyone can use whatever tool they like and still work on the same codebase. They don’t have proprietary file formats that lock in you and your entire team forever.
I’ve been using silverbullet.md
Its more notes than wiki I guess so depends what you’re after.
I use restic but I switched from Borg because of the cloud features. Outside of that, there’s not a lot of differences really. If you’re happy with Borg keep with it.

I use audible, then download with audible-cli and decrypt with ffmpeg.
I’m running Jellyfin on 6th gen i3 and quicksync works fine.
It would quickly get very annoying because one of those essential cookies is remembering that you rejected the rest.
The law doesn’t actually mention cookies at all. Its about tracking users, they need your explicit consent to track you or to share data about you with third parties. Cookies are the primary way of doing this but there are others and they need your consent too.
You’ve never worked in finance then. All our systems at work do nothing but move large amounts of txt files around.
That said, many of our clients still don’t support utf-8 so its all ascii and non-latin alphabets are screwed. They can’t even handle characters 128-255 so even stuff like £ is unsupported.
And remember not all currencies are 2dp so get a list and use the appropriate exponent.
I had to update our currency database this week because there’s new currencies. It’s almost as bad as timezones.
I thought colo was your hardware in someone else’s data center.
For me though a VPS is still self hosting because you own your applications data and have control over it.
You’re less beholden to the whims of a company to change the software or cut you off. With appropriate backups you should be able to move to a new cloud provider fairly easily.
Maybe that’s normal in US but it’s way overpriced in UK. They want £75/mo and I’m paying £35 for 500Mb in a rural area and there’s several different providers to choose from. My sister is even more remote than me and they’re getting fibre this week.
I could also get unlimited 4G for about £20.
I don’t know anyone who is using starlink

I like to think this whole thing will collapse and there’ll be a massive demand for real programmers to clean up/rewrite all the AI slop.
But your thing seems more likely.
