    Its my experience with server software for beginners in general, which gets my enshittification senses tingling. I just dont trust in a company providing a hell of a service (like, getting tens if not hundreds of docker images to work with the click of a button) for free.

    With Truenas I know that their community branch is an ad for their enterprise service because no single person will key thousands for the caliber of support their enterprise has, so they make their money by offering cloud services. So that explains how it is still feasable for them to give me their dataset and UI and everything frontend for free.

    But with Casa, I just dont know where the money comes from. I dont see how they can keep up their operations and make a profit with this kind of effort. So I can only assume that many non essential services will be put behind a paywall.

    And if they do it, I still know that they use docker and ZFS, and I can spend a day or 2 learning how to set up a software raid and an ssd as a ZFS buffer for it, and everything else i‘ve set up with their OS.

    But thats the problem: Beginners dont know. Its like with the Iphone: If the user dosent learn how to deploy a docker instance from a compose file themselves, they will be bound to that frontend and all the enshittification that happens to it.

    Therefore I would like it way more if Selfhosting was more like the AUR. First learn how the Process of pulling an image and makepkg‘ing works firsthand, then you can use the frontend like yay. Not the other way around.

    But if no one learns how to do something the old fashioned way and relies on a frontend for everything, at some point the company behind the frontend will vendor lock everyone into their system, since there is no competition anyway



  • But if you need to pay for a „Media Flatrate“ anyway, and you have those 5€ a month, why not spend it for a good cause?

    (Also PIA and nord cost 12€ a month unless you sign their predatory 2 year contracts [which are even then just like 1€ per month cheaper], so mullvad is just way better in that regard too)

    Also features like UDPoTCP let you bypass local network restrictions, and the ability to pay with cash and Crypto is great if you dont want want to/ cant use paypal or a bank account for any reason

    It is a pro capitalism movie with bestiality, yes.

    The while plot of it is: If workers are not exploited, they will not work and therefore the world will collapse. Also, it is Seen as bad to question if dedicating your whole life to repetetive Work is a bad thing, and is actively discouraged.

    I mean, the whole thing is literally about bees revolting against a corrupt system where they are not heard and instead killed by gas (which is quite literally against the Geneva convention), which results in them being repaid and not working anymore, which ruins the entire planet. So they crawl back and beg for their exploitation.

    THE MOVIE ENDS WITH EVERYTHING RETURNING TO NORMAL WITHOUT ANY OF THE NAZI GAS SHIT BEING EVEN AKNOWLEDGED

    Also, if you translate Bees and Humans to classes, the movie says „let yourself be exploited, otherwise the Upper class will not get their private jets

    (Also yes the main plot device is a married woman falling in love with a communist bee)








  • but it will always be far less aggressive about it than Google

    Whataboutism. Browser advertises itself as privacy respecting, yet builds on a non Privacy respecting OS. If they really wanted to protect the user, they would be open source, (at least the methods of protecting the user from tracking) firefox based and availible for linux and Android FOSS, similar to everything else (Firefox, Molly, Signal, etc). My whole Comment was about how they advertise themselves as Private, yet fail to address the most basic privacy concerns, essentially being an oxymoron. This was not about „which OS is less evil“ but „why did they not opt for the not at all evil?“

    Android also runs Google play services

    False. AOSP does not have Gservices, and has enough forks for hardware (Linaege, Graphene, Calyx, /e/)

    Both OS suck big time

    See my point about AOSP.

    I know the post was about Apple

    So you just posted some random comment just because?

    and I was pointing out that android is likely worse for privacy

    Also false, see my Point about AOSP.

    Why the fuck are you using a sniper scope on an assault rifle?

    They are just not made for such distances where you would need these, especially when operating in an urban area where you have more than enough cover against targets over 5 km awayand are also mostly fighting in CQC
