You can rent a vps for 4$ / month, Forgejo for server is open source.

I entered the world of Java a few years ago, there were already memes about eclipse back then, so I was prepared to prefer Intellij.

I tried both. Intellij is much more polished, it had some annoying bugs too, but the selling point for me was that eclipse was (is) really good at syncing every change directly to wildfly. This is a huge timesaver. The maven to eclipse plugin I think?

I’ve tried with jrebel but it’s not as quick and reliable as with eclipse.

I am fully prepared for a solution where Intellij is better so please let me know, but no one in our organisation (which has about 50 devs) has found it.

This … is actually quite accurate.

And for most cases this is perfectly fine!

Back then it was a place for us nerds, techies, early adopters.

Now it’s a place dominated by the rest of the world. Including all the bad stuff like politics, big corporations and ads.

It was nice for a while… We need a new place :-)

I don’t use Whoogle myself, but I’ve checked the code and seems like Whoogle indeed uses HTTPS when sending your query to Google.

(And as long as you are on your own private network at home you should be fine using HTTP)

Allergic to Indices? If your database is slow just add more Indices until you have one on every column of every table! :-)

LOL phrased oddly? English is not my first language.

I thought it was common knowledge that paying for something (console) and owning it was not the same these days, so I just want to know what I am buying…

No, the message is: you might do this and don’t worry, you’ll be fine :-)

What is it?

I have no clue what partysite is.

If the containers are related you could use docker-compose, which has commands to stop / restart/ remove all containers at once.

I have never owned a console, but have been playing games since I was 4 (that would be 1981). Also I can’t remember paying for anything in those days :-) Everything came on cassettes and floppies.

I made some very basic text based games back then. Nothing that anyone else would ever play :-)

(Also I am a developer, but not in the FOSS sphere)

Everyone is making jokes but the thought has occurred to me: Yes, we have an organisation in place that is ready to replace him. But, from what I understand, he IS the benevolent dictator, and he has used his power a few times to stop some changes that otherwise would be in the kernel right now. And I think that’s a good thing.

Debian actually does security updates on those old packages.

Debian is more a “stable and boring” kind of thing :-)

Moccamaster is the best coffee

Mine isn’t

Incoming mail is very doable.

Outgoing mail is hard because no one will your trust your server, the easy way is let someone else send your mail.

People get stressed about your receiving server being down sometimes, but this actually not a big deal. Mail senders typically will try for 48 hours or so to deliver mail, and if it doesn’t get delivered it will be sent back to the sender with a “could not be delivered” message. Very little gets actually lost.

So… tl;dw?

This is just lazy, copy pasting a link to YouTube without context? Please tell me why you shared it, what was interesting about it?

I don’t have the answer to the best form of government, but communism doesn’t work. That has already been proven?

And capitalism is actually pretty good, until it turns everything into ads and destroys the planet :-/ I wish there was something better.

So why do so many people seem to think Linux needs to become bigger on Desktop?

Personally I am not looking forward to the consequences: capitalism will make sure there will be something on Linux to make money off. They will try to conquer it, introduce walled gardens, stores you will have to pay for, by watching ads.

Android was Open Source once until Google decided to mainstream it.

I’m very critical of all the immutable distrubtions - as an old timer in tech I’ve seen so many things come and go. I’m also curious, ofcourse, and already tried out a VM with NixOS and everything seemed fine. But I’m going to wait it out before something like that becomes my main driver, I have a job to do (development, systems, stuff) and I cannot afford to say “sorry little to no progress today, my OS needs tinkering”.

(Feel free to tell me I’m wrong :-) I love to tinker with new stuff).
