Buying low and selling high is fundamentally taking advantage of other peoples losses.

So someone recently told me I should cut back on donations to open source projects.

Your being too nice, be more greedy??

spending 5 minutes writing up a comment only to accedently press the cancel button ): Lemmy devs should put a confirmation for canceling when it’s above a certain character limit or something.

merging those contributions kinda becomes an actual need of users

When you say it becomes a need does this mean that not merging them would course the projects to fail? This means that if the option to merge the contribution didn’t exist in the first place (like non free software) the project would fail.

but I still think that letting companies just fuck off and do their own centralised thing separately from decentralised DIY-like development which, to my mind, is actual freedom, might help.

Actual freedom is taking away peoples rights to make things worse. If you want an example of what happens when actual freedom is available look at the free market.

I don’t think your argument makes sense logically. Are you saying that copyleft software is enshitififying because big companies are pushing too many (optional) contributions? Are you aware that software maintainers don’t have to merge the contributions these people are pushing? With MIT like software contributers don’t even have the option to merge or not to merge because these companies just make a proprietary fork.

Oh ok, I’ve never installed debian before so thats good to know.

I would have thought debian is better than ubuntu but I couldn’t find a server version of debian. Where do I find debian server or debian cli only?

Shhhh! No one can no we are all being played by the immich overlords.

Is it decently easy to create and manage vm’s and containers with the terminal? I use proxmox at the moment. Should I switch to Ubuntu server?

Does it have a high refresh rate display? That’d pretty much the only quality of life feature I really care about.

Same here.

I’m so confused. I understand the reasoning behind two equal signs but three?

Immich is the GOAT! I can’t wait for it’s stable release.

Local send has worked really poorly for me, and so has every program similar to it open source or not. The only network file sharing program that has always worked (mostly) floorlessly for me is AirDrop.

tag studio It’s a file manager designed to use tags instead of files because tags are a much better system. It’s still in alpha and I haven’t actually tested it yet but I plan to use it instead of regular file managers once it becomes stable and well supported.

I’m not saying I’m very knowledgeable but as your asking for the consensus. I think Bluesky is much better than twitter but it doesn’t properly embody the ideals of the fediverse: that is a decentralized network of instances but it really only has one main instance. It’s also heavily viewed as an alternative to twitter, people who like twitter but don’t like X or the way elon musk is running things so the same people who don’t like twitter go to X and therefore the community isn’t so much better.

But who am I to say this I don’t even use twitter mastadon or Bluesky.

Blender is half the reason I believe in open source. They continue to innovate and compete with companies that have orders of magnitude more funding.

Yes the node 804 is exactly what I’m looking for! It’s a bit outdated in terms of looks but I don’t really mind that much for a home server. Aside from that it seams pretty much perfect.

This is really cool. And I would say a good replacement for current cloud setups. Since it’s unreasonable to expect everyone to self-host. Although I think this could only really be a cost saving measure since there are already services like protondrive that offer end 2 end encryption. And I would probably trust the reliability of proton drive over the community hosting my stuff.

Generally intel has the best idle power consumption although amd won’t be terrible either. unless you already have an amd motherboard or cpu lying around I would recommend grabbing a 11th gen i5.

If you want to reduce your power idle power consumption undervolting won’t help you there, it will only reduce power consumption while under load. Generally the biggest killer for idle power consumption is actually your motherboard and for that reason try to find a smaller motherboard. Mini-itx is best but you’ll probably find that micro-atx is a lot cheaper while not sacrificing too much power draw.

I can’t say how useful your gtx 960 will be, I’d test it to see if it can encode/decode/transcode video fast enough for your needs and just be weary that it will likely use a fair bit of power even at idle. If it is fast enough then you can easily get away with an 8th/9th gen intel cpu you’ll find they are a lot cheaper, you could get an even older cpu as per Jellyfins hardware requirements but you’ll sacrifice some power consumption and probably not save that much money. 8th/9th gen CPU’s have pretty good power idle power consumption which is of course what should be targeted here.
