  Would they make it worse than watching ads?

  It depends if you’re using them all. Systems where I have lots of applications installed (especially graphical ones) will have lots of packages, my bare-minimum container hosts will have few. I think there’s also an element of selection bias here, because people posting screenshots of neofetch on their system are also likely to be people who intentionally run very minimal systems focussed on minimizing the number of packages so they can brag about it on the internet.

  TL;DR - the right number of packages to have is as many as are required for your computer to do what you need it to do, and not too many more than that.

  Sell all stock photo memes and buy worried Alex Jones memes.

  This is very exciting, I’ve felt that SQLite has held back the performance of the *arrs for a long time so I’m excited to see this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Setting up your own VPN⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I came here to say exactly this - WireGuard is great and easy to set up, but it gets harder as you add more people, especially less technical ones, as getting them to make keys and move them around etc becomes a headache. Tailscale also minimizes the role of the central server, so if your box goes down the VPN can still function. Tailscale can also do some neat stuff with DNS that’s pretty nifty.
