I have tons of great suggestions depending on your hardware and what kinds of things you’d like to be hosting.

However, for starters, if you’re not doing so already, make sure you are binding your qBittorrent container to a privacy VPN network interface. Test it to ensure it’s working. There are sites out there that you can use to check how your torrent IP presents. No matter what you’re torrenting, keep your IP hidden. The last thing you want is your ISP to terminate your fancy new service.

Kind of. Matrix is the most supported, and works very well. However, it doesn’t have feature parity with Discord. Voice/video chat can be added via integrations, but it takes quite a few modifications to the server’s infrastructure.

It’s also a bit more complicated to navigate,

Revolt is being created as a proper FOSS Discord replacement (similar UI even), but it’s pretty early in development. It also lacks federation, which is a huge caveat imo.

Let's Encrypt has done so much for encouraging the spread of HTTPS and good certificate practices. If they went away, I honestly think a good chunk of the internet would start breaking after ~6 months.

This really sucks. I honestly didn't know the Feds gave so much money to FOSS, but I looked up the USAGM and that makes sense.

It tracks with current trends. Basically anything that could be interpreted as benefiting any county other than the United States or any demographic other than rich white men is getting funding cut. What an embarrassment.

At a time when decentralizing information is critical, our tools to do so are also threatened.

But if it’s AI generated, who are they going to lay off after they release it?

Configurations behind a reverse proxy that did not explicitly configure trusted proxies will not work after this release. This was never a supported configuration, so please ensure you correct your configuration before upgrading. See the updated docs here for more information.

Well I’m glad I read that before upgrading!

Good for them. The gaming industry has needed better worker protections for decades. Healthier developers are more creative developers.

What a legend. The significance of NTP cannot be ~~understated~~ overstated. The internet as we know it could not work without it.

The fact that Facebook still exists is proof of this.

Do you play exclusively esports games or something? It’s rare I encounter a title that doesn’t work just fine on Linux. It seems I barely need to tweak any settings anymore.

I get why Federation can cause issues (most of the time it's moderation related), but why would an extra option be a deal-breaker? Federation can always be disabled on a per-domain basis if you prefer. In fact, I'd argue it's best practice to only allow domains on a case-by-case basis to prevent spam and abuse.

On the converse, you can't enable Federation on a platform that doesn't have it.

 

Disclaimer: I'm referring the the US medical system, but I imagine people in other countries may encounter similar things.

I cannot be the only one who has had this experience, but all my dealings with the medical industry feel like they were refined by a group of psychologists to exploit the weaknesses of those with ADHD.

The volume of calls, appointments, and paperwork I had to full out to get a diagnosis and prescription for treatment is completely unreasonable to expect someone with poor working memory and attention issues to navigate.

Then, to stay on medication, you need to schedule and make appointments with a psychiatrist every month, for the rest of your life, and if you miss a single one, you will run out of meds (and likely charged a fine), which will make it even harder to remember to make the next one. If you miss too many, that psychiatrist will refuse to see you again and you have to go back to your PCP to get a new referral.

Look, I understand that their time is valuable, but this system couldn't be designed any other way to be more accommodating to people who clinically forget things?!

It's like designing a wheelchair ramp that's actually just stairs that are 3x as steep as the regular stairs. Also, if you fall to the bottom, someone takes your wheelchair until you can climb back up.
