- Comment on Astronomers find strongest evidence yet that Betelgeuse has a companion 1 week ago:
So does this means that all the instabilities in Betelgeuse luminosity was not due to the fact it would go supernova in my lifetime? Crap…
- Comment on Selfhosting as a Linux newbie - Ubuntu Server LTS or Debian 13? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s good to know! I didn’t have the mental bandwidth to learn all the ngix thing and just wanted to let my family access my immich server, so I’m currently test driving with ynh.
So far I love it, but haven’t yet tried restoring backups or upgrading apps.

What’s this community’s opinion of Yunohost?
I’ve been struggling with keeping everything in control, the discovered yunohost. It’s like containerised apps, but without containers. I love how simple it is and the wide range of apps.

Yeah, you still have full control of your local Plex install (for now). I don’t mind it, but I would advise against it for new users. It is on the enshittification road

Developing hardware also is not free. I still don’t want to see ads for the latest cooling system.

I’m ambivalent about the topic because the goal is for us to own our servers…
Most of the hardware I use is proprietary, but at the end of the day Intel can’t come and rob me of the object I paid for. Sure it will become obsolete in 10 or 20 years, but I’m still the owner.
When it comes to software, I want to own it, not just a license. Most proprietary software comes with strings attached, which is why I don’t think it fits the self-hosting philosophy.
If a proprietary software was “buy it once and own the binaries forever”, I wouldn’t mind seeing it discussed here. (Plex with lifetime licenses comes to mind.)
However, I don’t want to see advertisement for a proprietary software the same way I don’t want to see ads for some specific hardware components.
That’s my opinion.
- Comment on Open Source Developers Are Exhausted, Unpaid, and Ready to Walk Away 8 months ago:
I recently got my boss to send a donation to an open source project!
It was technically not free to use for commercial purposes, but we could have done it anyway… However my boss agreed when I mentioned how insignificant it would be on the project’s cost!
