lime!

oh this was a while ago, i currently don’t have a homelab. i gave up waiting for mods to update and then it slipped my mind.

do you use a premade compose file or did you write your own? i started out my own but it quickly got very complicated…

the WHAT

i tend to use mit for things i see little value in, and something stronger for things i think may be useful.

but i don’t get to publish much code.

the “take our work and pay us nothing, please” crowd.

i’ve got a problem with what ESR calls open source.

like, the fact that free software is inherently political has been explored elsewhere in the thread, but the term “open source” was started by people who wanted to distance themselves from the free software movement due to them disliking that it was anti-commercial. the open source movement wanted more companies to adopt their code, in contrast to the GNU people trying to stop their work being absorbed into the old big iron.

and they won.

i feel like you missed the time between 1990 and 2005 when american libertarians caused a schism in the free software movement by popularising open source.

i think the effort has already been made, unless i’m misunderstanding what cachyos is

i think weston is the reference implementation, but i don’t know if it’s usable

is it really “insisting” when there is no alternative for your use case?

the problem now is that while kde and gnome do have most of those things on wayland, it’s all bespoke. there are no universal wayland remote desktop systems or accessibility pushes, just “the gnome one” and “the kde one”.

it’s fragmenting the desktop.

it took a while though… they managed to poison one or tvo communities already.

really, this is a failure of government. they should have verified that the service provider lived up to their claims.

yes. yes it is.

well, not fine. it’s still ms office. but it works.

the web version works.

the design is insane, the people behind it are insane, the story is double-insane.

i do, all the time. there was a time where everyone was putting up personal websites and doing basic html. the entire geocities wave is proof of that. it was already decentralised.

the main thing is that, while gopher was designed under a set of limitations, gemini is designed off of a set of opinions. actively breaking backward compatibility is one of them i do not agree with.

of course it doesn’t need to sell to anyone. people working on it presumably like it. the difference is that gopher predates the web, so its sales pitch matched that of the web.

gemini’s sales pitch is that it’s a simplified version of the web, which i can respect, but their choice of not making it a subset of a standard means that it fails to be a viable alternative to the web, because that standard is so ubiquitous.

what the fuck?

still not sold on gemini. the project has sort of a holier-than-thou smell to it, striving for the sort of technological purity that makes it unattractive to use. i would still choose gopher.
