  • Ground control to Major Trial: When a $130M Aerospace Company Chooses to Endlessly Abuse OpenSource Free Trials Instead of Typing Git Pull, You Start to Question Gravity, or at Least Common Sense.

    Jump

  • Oh, absolutely, but it's still an exercise in futility if the goal is to have any impact on the offending company's demeanor and course of action.

  • I'm guilty of not reading the f..ing documentation

    Jump

  • Funny how that's the case for most people 🤣

  • I would say that I RTFM about 75% of the times (give or take). Though I only do it to see if I can find something other than what I intended to use the software or hardware for.

  • For that to have any impact, the abusing company leadership would need to have the ability to feel some level of shame. I honestly believe that most don't have any ability for that.

  • Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers

    Jump

  • Yeah, it was a statement, not a question. But it's partly my fault for not using the comma appropriately. Fixed.

  • That's what I think too. And then I see "Their systems are built into everything around us", which basically only applies to PCs and laptops. What is built into pretty much everything around us, is GnuLinux.

  • Of course we do. We're not animals.

  • YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point.

    Jump

  • Google enshitifying things? Who would have thought? Seriously, it's as if they want to test how far they can go upsetting users. There's got to be some (a lot?) of that, for sure.

  • Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026

    Jump

  • Same here. Best part is that they even have non-Netflix media in that tier. Love it.

  • Come to say thank you. Time to move from proprietary to Open Source

    Jump

  • You have plenty of options. I use Unraid because I bought it before it became a subscription. But I have a friend running Fedora server with Cockpit and running everything from docker containers. The options are endless. ProxMox is a great choice.

  • Suggestion request: Self-hosted app for shared directories like google drive

    Jump

  • I just use Syncthing with versioning, and that's how I manage all my files and their versions.

    That alone is a document management and file versioning system without the overkill of Nextcloud (which is debatable).

  • That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing

    Jump

  • Jellyfin. I've been waiting for Plex to do this for years. Enshitification is everywhere.

  • What do you use for listening to podcasts?

    Jump

  • You asked for a podcast client, so here's AntennaPod.

    I have it on auto backup and share the backup with all my other devices over Syncthing.

    No need to self-host anything.

  • Which case is Pi-hole for?

    Jump

  • I agree here. AdguardHome is way easier to configure and just have it work. Evidently, it's always important to maintain, like any other software, but it is way less hands-on than PiHole.

  • I'm honestly more scared of portainer than actually running compose from CLI 🤣

  • Exposing Immich via subdomain - good or bad idea?

    Jump

  • It is no riskier than any other reverse proxy or tunneling app. If you follow good opsec, you should be fine. In truth there is no bulletproof way to avoid intrusion, so do the best you can without completely doing away with convenience.
