sftpgo is a nice project to host files in a secure way without too much hassle.

While I don’t agree with your first point from my experience, the second one is very true. Especially for memory consumption, your typical Java app easily occupies five times as much as something more bare metal.

There aren’t many distro with a base system as tiny as Arch. It’s not a bad choice at all. It’s on my server since many years, working perfectly reliable. Everything except the base system is inside Podman containers. Why not?

I think that’s for LGPL. For GLP any form of linking requires the code to be licensed under GPL, too. The dynamic linking except isn’t that bad of you think about it. It gives you the freedom to update or replace the library at any time. For security critical libs (TLS, GPG, …) that’s a big plus.

He might have convinced himself already. That doesn’t change the facts though.

I second this. People usually recommend Ubuntu for beginners which I can somewhat understand because it’s super easy to get started. But the downside is that you’ll most likely stay a beginner and don’t understand the absolute basics of a Linux based OS because, well, most of the time you don’t have to. Then you make a beginner’s mistake once and there you go.

Danke :-)

Which indexer is that if I may ask (for a friend)? 😁

German content is mostly on Sharehosters or One-Click-Hosters or whatever you call them. I really don’t know why because they are expensive and worse than the other options. I know BitTorrent is not popular in Germany because of the law but the Usenet could be the better option if it was more popular.

I think there’s sauce on your screen.

But isn’t the church the reason why he feels that way in the first place?

Just because it’s not possible on a Turing Machine doesn’t mean it’s impossible on a PC with finite memory. You just have to track all the memory that is available to the algorithm and once you detect a state you’ve seen already, you know it’s not halting ever. The detection algorithm will need an insane amount of memory though.

Edit: think about the amount of memory that would need. It’s crazy but theoretically possible. In real world use cases only if the algorithm you’re watching has access to a tiny amount of memory.

It always depends on which existing tools you have access to. Go back some more years and there is no GPS. Detecting the bird will be the easier problem then.

That wasn’t an easy game. But it didn’t require the accuracy today’s competitive FPS shooters do. Even Duke Nukem 3D was pretty cool back then. Was super easy to hit your targets though.

I’d prefer to be on the couch instead of at the desk, too. But FPS with controller is just worlds below mouse and keyboard.

Just keep in mind that after update support ends, it’s a ticking time bomb. And there’s basically no “second life” for it because it’s so locked down.

You’re not safe from Google though. And that’s quite a big backdoor if you’re a target of interest.

My girlfriend bought a really cheap one from Lenovo. Besides watching movies and browsing the web there’s not much you can do because ChromeOS is extremely limiting. Wouldn’t ever recommend anyone to buy anything with ChromeOS on it.

I really want to enjoy games like Fallout or GTA on the Deck but compared to mouse/keyboard it’s just really bad. I cannot understand how so many people like to play games like CoD or Battlefield on consoles.

If people keep buying that crap, what’s going to stop the companies doing that? I’m at a point where I don’t care anymore to be honest. I have so many games on my library that I haven’t played yet olus all the emulated stuff, that’s going to be sufficient for the rest of my life. There will be really good AAA games by nice companies once in a while, like Baldur’s Gate 3 right now. Then there are really good indie games like Stardew Valley, Minecraft (in the early days), and so on.
