“Ultra death sauce”…

Yeah, the name… I’m not sure what’s wrong with people naming chili sauces. Also, it’s pretty inaccurate as I am alive and well.

Anyway, for me it hits a good balance between being proper spicy and a rounded taste.

Thanks for your reply, it made some good points. It however didn’t need the part starting with “It however…” as phrases like this simply devalue everything that was written before them, and are usually followed by a change of topic.

The topic was the question if deploying trojans in another country’s infrastructure counts as an “ABSOLUTELY defensive” measure.

It is in fact bad no matter what state does it.

This could have been a perfect sentence to finish with, don’t you think? ;)

nice try derailing the conversation with a “quick question”, let’s ignore it.

you are correct, it is cyber warfare, and china sees the US as their enemy. however it is not “ABSOLUTELY” defense.

i guess the conventional warfare equivalent would be to place explosives on the territory of your enemy to set it off in case of war. which smells way more like preparing active warfare than some kind of defense.

it brings it’s own set of problems as well. let’s say they get triggered by accident, either by incompetency or a third conflict party.

it will be very hard to explain why they were there in the first place, and “yes we deployed the <insert ‘defensive’ measure> on your soil, but it wasn’t us who triggered it.” might just not cut it.

for me fcitx works great with KDE, both x11 and wayland. been using it for a long time, with some european languages and chinese

Each one is one too many

Palworld in a nutshell

Shout-out to mailcow-dockerized, a GPL-3 licensed setup of postfix/dovecot etc with sogo as webmail. Managed by a German IT company, I’ve been running it in production for more than a year, serving a handful of domains. Very happy with it.

Oh, and they’re on mastodon as well: https://mailcow.social/@doncow

+1 for the letsencrypt wildcard with DNS verification, been using this for years. with dehydrated (https://github.com/dehydrated-io/dehydrated) you can automate renewing the certs, pretty convenient.

One thing i didn’t see mentioned yet - you can also easily create a wildcard for a subdomain of your domain, e.g. *.local.example.com. Most DNS providers let you define something like _acme-challenge.local IN TXT ... so you don’t even need to define an extra zone for local.example.com. Probably makes no big difference, but i like it ^^

I had used /e/ as a daily driver for about a year, on one of the officially supported phones (FP3). Installation was easy, and coming from other custom ROMs I remember thinking "wow, this just works!” ;) Didn’t use any of the /e/ services, things worked fine connected to a self-hosted nextcloud.

For a usability I think this is how painless an alternative ROM should be if it wants to reach a wider audience.

I’m using https://github.com/dracut-crypt-ssh/dracut-crypt-ssh on some of my servers. The initrd opens an ssh port where you can login and enter the passphrase. Setting it up is non-trivial, but it works well. Haven’t tried it on Debian but there should be something similar.

Wera for screwdrivers and wrenches. Best tools I ever had.

Well, yes, but…

nextcloud forked owncloud back when there was only the php codebase.

opencloud forked owncloud ocis, which is a rewrite in go.

So while both forked “owncloud”, or “something named owncloud”, i doubt they’ll have any code in common.

Owncloud seems to be pretty much over IIRC.

The company behind it got bought be some american company in 2023, that promised that everything will “stay as open as it is” - you won’t believe what happened next ;)

Then recently many of the developers left to join OpenCloud, which seems to be a fork of owncloud, lead by a german open source veteran.

The centre being all black would have added a nice touch

gentoo. i’m not even gonna look this up but i’d be surprised if immolo hasn’t installed in that platform yet ;)

You can get this as a snack in Taiwan, broken instant noodles with seasoning ;)
