  • best alternative to windows file explorer?

  • As we're in the Open Source community here, the massive list of possible answers is suddenly rather short, I'm afraid. Explorer++ might be your best bet.

  • There still is no documented way to migrate an existing WordPress to PostgreSQL. The PostgreSQL plugin assumes a fresh installation, everything else is not assumed to be there.

  • It still is, as that’s what the developers use.

  • nextCloud becomes notably faster when you migrate from MySQL to PostgreSQL.

  • I rewrote the last remaining MySQL-based software of mine this year because I didn’t want to have MariaDB just for this one tool. Everything else had already been migrated. PostgreSQL is much faster in my tests.

  • Some of our customers rely on Oracle’s database system, because history. Sadly, we can’t teach them.

  • MySQL refugees = those who ran to MariaDB when MySQL was bought by 'Orrible and now need another new home. Accidentally, PostgreSQL has grown support for some of MySQL on recent versions.

  • I hope this won’t have any negative effects on PostgreSQL which will hopefully not have to cater the MySQL refugees now.

  • I know that this might be an unpopular opinion, but I don't really care about whether the software I use every day is open source or not, given that I rarely need to look into the source code anyway. (Do you?) Is the webRequest API about to be phased out?

  • Why would your trust in Mozilla have anything to do with using this browser?

    Browsers based on Firefox are at the mercy of Mozilla. If Mozilla once again delivers a new function that is directed against privacy, those who develop Firefox-based browsers must either deactivate this function or also deliver it. And this is not always clearly documented. And Mozilla has simply acted against my interests too often - I no longer even trust LibreWolf.

    (Leaving this aside, I also fail to see any advantage of Zen over Vivaldi.)

  • based on Firefox

    Ew. No, thank you. Seriously, Mozilla has completely destroyed all trust in Firefox.

    and open source

    So is Vivaldi.

  • The short answer: NetSurf, because it is the only contemporary web browser that also works under Plan 9, is extremely resource-efficient and is not based on one of the big (= commercial) browser engines.

    The long answer: It depends. I like to use eww to test the accessibility of a website, but since Mozilla destroyed everything I liked about Firefox in November 2017, I've been using Vivaldi as my main browser. Although Vivaldi is based on Chromium, it is quite privacy-friendly, performant and extremely customisable. Unfortunately, some websites do not work very well with NetSurf. (I like to report this as a bug to the website operator. It is fatal that everyone always assumes that everyone wants to load and execute hundreds of KiB of JavaScript).

  • Would you buy "self-hosted in a box" hardware?

  • A viable alternative is Guix, which uses Scheme for its scripts and could also use the Hurd kernel instead of Linux, but works the same.
