Depends on your coding.

If there is a chance you end up programming for macOS or iOS you’ve got no choice.

With Microsoft Copilot everything is PVE

Which is all to say, alternatives to corporate owned platforms does not exist at this point in time, on a statistical basis. Not in any meaningful way.

Since I rather focus on content than on statistics: I get better content and more honest interactions on mastodon than on the years I stayed with twitter (pre Elon).

Tbh: Sounds american. We the pee-ople.

Neovim is my goto editor for terminals. Yes.

:wq

Even the post to the software is slop.

Every where emojis and the one essential element, the URL, not even linked.

Worth another emoji: 🤡

There was a short let’s encrypt error just in that timeframe. Doesn’t mean that all cert updates fall in that window and “servers around the world”…

Also. I know my fair share on manual, semi-manual and thank lord automatic certification.

Oh. Your post was a rage bait? Well done.

On work IPv6 external + IPv4 internal. Private ISP offers only the shitty dual stack light. I moved some services to a VPS.

Idk. what assignment we use, but our ISP gave us (company) a prefix and we offer our services (for our team) IPv6 first. IPv4 is only used within the company network where a DNS server resolves the domains if needed.

It works great for us. If my private ISP would allow it, I would do the same.

In would be cautious with words like definitely. You don’t know if the client works automatically or people request certs manually and just slipped into the downtime.

Both issues (bad practice and bad timing) could have in a fringe accident coincided.

But my first message read to certain, too. Updated that with an edit.

Let’s encrypt reported an incident yesterday. The issuing stopped working on their end. They were working the problem already.

Edit: pure speculation as the timing of the incident matches. Could also be a bodged update routine, or something else.

Good lord.

Whoever needs to work with Instagram should reconsider their life choices.

Where is the tl;dr?

Is there such thing as the best linux for that?

CachyOS works for me (gaming with a Radeon). Is it the best? Idk.

See.

The pure magic of choice at work.

Again. Even exploration is choice.

Nobody owes you the experience you are mapping out here.

Idk. about the Linux idea and the freedom being at risk.

You’ve chosen another init system, they’ve chosen theirs -hopefully- for technical reasons.

As far as I see your choice and freedom is not constrained. You are free to mix and build whatever suits your needs.

The tools are different, but you‘ll be just fine.

I‘m used to Ubuntu Server and installed Cachy on a gaming PC. I’m still looking things up, but that’s about it. Just some more search engine work in the beginning.

A major difference might be the rolling release, which can trash your system/configs temporary. It didn’t happen to me, but friends reported some mishaps and frustrations.

Well, if you think homelab there are plenty of other ways to realize a sink holes (pi hole, blocky, …).

Little snitch and others are a good addition which can be useful, e.g. when roaming with a mobile device.
