I use firefox nightly. I don’t mind the telemetry going to firefox. I know it’s a bad thing… But still, if it helps them it’s fine.

But performance wise, it’s not bad. It’s good enough. And with extension support rolling out soon, firefox might be really good.

Yeah. I don’t think you can. But I really like this feature from Google search. I currently run my own instance of Whoogle. Neither does whoogle have a good way to show these widgets

I use a self hosted instance of Whoogle. It threw up an error a few days back. Got stuck in Google captcha(probably an IP issue). Now it has reset and it is smooth sailing.

Yeah, it is simply Google results, but I think it’s fine…

Honestly what is wrong with ‘just works’. If the policies behind the project and the security and privacy is all in place using this option is nothing wrong.

For linux to grow it needs to be more ‘just works’. Let the complex stuff and simple stuff be there. It’s not one or the other.

Windows 12 dev employee: what if … what if… We break the taskbar into bits.

Wait wait wait… I think we can uh… maybe just maybe not add bloat… Turns around to see the employer… Gulp

Turns back to screen… Adding bloat is always the answer… Right boss?

I think it’s best to be in between. Use the stuff in such a way that it doesn’t break.

Don’t be too damn into it, that you can’t use anything. But also don’t just not care about anything and go on…

Hey the door of one is open. Common guys. We can’t let that be.

Yeah. But it’s too damn risky to buy the non-popular ones. Especially in my region…

You are not alone my friend.

I would never say no to using older hardware. Yeah, it’ll be like punishing yourself. But you learn a shit ton.

I recently started self hosting. I started on a PC with the same specs as you’ve said. Booting was an issue. And tons of stuff always broke. But i learnt a lot. And then there was a time, when i genuinely thought i could do better and switched an old laptop with decent specs.

Pi’s are very expensive and too dang low on supply.

So always make do with what you have. If it’s your first home lab, then yeah go ahead. In a few months switch

Cause we own the roads and the platforms.

Whatdya mean you wanna walk
