Want to know what is worse than GoDaddy? Network Solutions.

I mean, 2 and 4 have been true already for quite some time in my experience.

I like Ubuntu Server. It’s got a nice installer that is simple and straight to the point, and lots of documentation. I’m also very familiar with it if I need to troubleshoot.

That said, I don’t like snaps and every new version pushes them harder. I’m currently learning openSUSE to see if it can become my new go-to for servers.

I always run Linux servers headless, so how the distro does GUI (if an option) is not relevant to me in this scenario.

I have always been a laptop guy my whole life because the portability, flexibility and comfortability of them.

Decades ago, I would say that laptops didn’t really have these attributes. Back in the day, they were heavy, most had short battery life, and were very slow compared to a decent desktop. Laptops have come a long way in three decades. :)

Well with Arabic numerals, zero is also the most physically round. :)

Also worth noting that the fact that Linux gaming works at all on many “Windows-exclusive” titles is an absolute magnificent feat of engineering. For the longest time we’ve been working to get games working on Linux despite both game developers and engine makers historically expressing anything between disinterest and antagonism towards supporting games on Linux.

But I also get that the final product is still not all that smooth from a user’s perspective. Just be sure to put the blame on where it belongs (definitely not Linux, or Wine who has been bending over backwards for over a decade to swim against the flow).

I’d call it Paradox Lang, or PL for short. It even has features that are contradictory to each other, you just have to declare which mode you want at the top of every file. Can you imagine. :)

The only feature it doesn’t have is “lightweight and minimal language”.

Quite a few languages that are major players now started as hobby languages.

Well I guess I am part of “they” since I have my own programming language pet project. Why did I create it? Because I wanted to, mostly. Sure, there are also some finer language design choices I wanted to choose differently for my preference, but mainly I just wanted to learn how.

The price has changed a few times, particularly with regional pricing. LJ is still working out the exact pricing to use.

In this way “we” are giving back to the Foss community and it should silence a lot of critics.

I think you underestimate how negative the Internet can be. :) People will just find a new aspect of the app to complain about.

It hasn’t been implemented yet. Part of the app still being in beta.

• “single click to hide comment” [Enabled]

I absolutely cannot stand this behavior, if I accidentally tap instead of scroll then comment trees will expand/collapse and then I feel lost. Jerboa has this behavior and it was the most annoying thing about it when I used it, I’d say it was close to making me feel nauseous at times.

But hey, that’s the great thing about Sync being so customizable, you can choose whatever behavior you prefer!

I don’t care if you use Sync or not.

There are dozens of us!

This is my least favorite part of Seafile. If there were a competitive alternative that used a flat file storage backend then I’d switch to that in a heartbeat. But alas, I still have not found one, so I will continue into my 6th year of using Seafile…

Worth noting in 6 years I haven’t had any actual trouble with Seafile’s storage, and the few times I’ve needed to I’ve been able to export data to a normal file system using seaf-fsck even if Seafile isn’t running. I’m just not 100% comfortable with it anyway so I understand the apprehension. I’d rather use a standard filesystem and be able to use standard tooling on it.

And the clients are actually really great, competitive with the features of the best cloud storage clients.

I use Seafile… can give a partial recommendation

Then don’t buy it. Or wait for it to move out of beta. Easy.
