Were these guys the OG vibe coders? It looks like they were allowing people to build mobile apps using AI since 2016!

My problem isn't the hardware, it's that the place I'm moving to will have a bad internet connection. My current homeserver has stuff like a CI (currently being tested), a builder for software (compiling rust, C/C++, go, and whatever else), immich, nextcloud with an extension to download from youtube and other sources (basically to circumvent geoblocking of multiple friends and family), and it could be expanded to host other services e.g a seedbox. All that stuff needs good hardware and a good connection.

My problem is that I'm moving in the not so far future and I don't know where to put my server. Physical security is important and if someone gets into my house, takes the computer and leaves, it'll be worthless due to encryption. But if it's in somebody's datacenter (co-location or whatever), they could be forced to monitor my traffic, tamper with my system, and I'd have to entrust the key to somebody in order to boot the system and decrypt the drives should it restart for an update or for any other reason.

I'm considering asking a friend to host the homeserver and reimburse them for a better internet connection (fiber) + electricity costs. But I'm not sure they'd be up for it.

How would you solve the problem?

Hey! Another nixos user 😁 What are you using for your VPS? nixos-infect? nixos-everywhere?

As for mini PCs, a friend bought one from Minis Forum and quite likes it. But if you want to support the opensource ecosystem, there are tuxedo computers and slimbook. There's also starlabs byte.

Take your pick :)

How does this compare to Notion? Can it be used as a knowledge management system? I ask because I see highlights and notes.

As an example: a company starts a free tier offering with no promises. It can sustain that because there are enough free users that convert into paying users - enough to sustain the free tier. But times change and the cost of free tier users surpasses that of paying users. Should the company continue providing the same level of service for free tier users?

Also, what other term than entitlement would you use for somebody gets something for free, is not promised that it will stay free forever, the free offering is cancelled or limited, and the user starts complaining?

It's just another instance

The Eu has forced them: Digital Markets Act --> alternative app stores.

The German ministry for data protection and information security aka BfDI (yeah, it's a mouth full) has one https://social.bund.de/

So has the Dutch government: https://social.overheid.nl/

And the EU has an official one too https://social.network.europa.eu/

Dunno if there are more. Maybe the French, Italians and Spanish do too. Maybe a list of governmental mastodon instances would be nice.
