Somewhere between Linux woes, gaming, open source, 3D printing, recreational coding, and occasional ranting.

Realistically speaking, the most lightweight browser capable of using modern websites and not just being reskinned Firefox or some Chromium-based browser is Luakit.
It uses Webkit for rendering and Lua for configuration – but be aware, the configuration is absurdly overcomplicated and complex and extremely poor documented.
I set up ejabberd maybe 15 or so years ago without any issues. Not sure about … more recent software. But since we’re in the containerization era I assume it has become easier.
Matrix was an experience, though. But it happily runs in my environment using the Synapse server and Cinny for desktop and Element X on mobile.
Any random Matrix client. Any random XMPP client.
The company’s website is currently collecting email signups for early-bird pricing. Pricing has not been announced. Neither have display resolution, exact dimensions, weight, or the availability of expansion ports.
So all we know is that some company wants to sell something at some point in the future.
Why is this?
Most corporations have the inertia of a rock when it comes to changes. There is no real reason behind it. Implementing IPv6 is a no-brainer. Same with NATing legacy systems so they can continue using IPv4.
Instead of manually juggling IP addresses, properly set up environments use hostnames and handle DNS automatically.
It’s basically “we/I don’t see any short-term benefit from it, it causes some setup work, and it is not important because everything still works”.
There is literally and figuratively no reason to not use Neovim for both.
No, I use Neovim. But this I use 100% of the time.
2018 when Microsroft acquired GitHub it was the largest competitor with similar functionality as far as I know. I used if for a few years before switching to selfhosted Forgejo because selfhosted GitLab back then was painfully annoying and complicated to setup and used enormous amounts of resources and also felt more aimed towards corporate users.
They once were a promising alternative to MS GitHub but now they’re going down the same route.
My tombstone would read: “obeyed all traffic rules and acted like everyone else would do the same”.
A few years ago I’d say Vim but nowadays it’s Neovim for me.
GitHub is not acceptable for new projects since June 4, 2018.
Unpopular opinion maybe, but a web browser is absolutely fine.
It’s already hard to find an actually fully working Linux phone that is even close to being a daily driver.
You can also replace individual components. It’s basically a bunch of binaries using an API.
AI data centers need RAM. HDDs are used for “the cloud”. 1 terabyte per user need to be stored somewhere.
The main problem is that people don’t understand that it is NOT “just an init system”
Only valid answer.
