Who is self-hosting in lambdas? Isn’t the idea of self-hosting to control your infrastructure (preferably including the hardware) ?

My parents wouldn’t even notice that their computer decided to encrypt their files. And they will blame the service guy for not being able to recover their photos, in case of hardware failure.

I think they want you to only use Windows and pay for cloud storage.

By enforcing BitLocker and Secure Boot, they are trying to eliminate dual-booting (you don’t need to dual-boot Windows/Linux anyway, as you can just use WSL2 /s).

By enforcing disk encryption, in general, they try to force the use of cloud storage, by making data recovery nearly impossible. Most people are probably too lazy to buy external storage, and manually copy their files over.

This guarantees 2 money streams. One from Windows’s tracking/advertising and the other from OneDrive subscriptions.

Which version of Win 10 are you using? My girl’s Win 10 Pro laptop is still unencrypted.

After implementing Brainfuck and Sudoku in Nix, I was thinking of implementing a backend framework. However, I decided that I am not insane enough for that.

I do. When I watch Odysee.

Have you tried Fennec?

It’s not loading for me. Is that instance up?

Distrobox is a better fit for this meme. Without it, one needs to manually configure devices and namespaces. Which is not that difficult, but distrobox create makes it trivial.

Flatpak provides similar sandboxing capabilities and you can use TopGrade to manage all updates.

Kitty has tabs

WireGuard supports mesh as well, but it requires to manually configure all the keys and all the IPs on all devices.

There is wgsd, which supposedly makes WireGuard mesh networking easier, but I haven’t tried it.

Is this like Tailscale? Maybe closer to Headscale, as tinc seems to be completely self hosted.

I think the OP is looking for a decentralized alternative to something like Nord/Express/Mullvad to hide their traffic, and not a way to connect their devices together.

There are big differences between Snaps and Flatpaks.

• both the flatpak server and the client are open source
• flatpak does not publish 3rd party apps, promoting them as verified (https://news.itsfoss.com/valve-steam-snap-ubuntu/)

I don’t agree that it made any sense to do that. If they wanted to containerize apps, there has been an open source solution to that for years; Flatpak.

ain’t nobody got time for that

As an app maintainer, that wants to support Ubuntu, why would I prefer to deploy a snap server, instead of publishing deb files, or creating a Flatpak?

I have Signal and microG with push notifications. Signal still uses websocket on my device. So, I guess it would be fine without microG push.

Docker is not only about dependency management. It also offers service “composing”, via docker compose, and network isolation for each service.

Although I personally love Nix, and I run NixOS on some of my servers, I do not believe it can replace Docker/Podman. Unless you go the NixOS Containers route.
