Sure we would also all be under water by 2005 or something.

Look, I do believe there’s some damage to the environment made by human activity, however these guys lost all their credibility after all the shit that Al Gore said for years and years that fortunately never happened. Anyways, did you notice that the artic sea ice is peaking right now?..

Yes, systemd is a very good and very well written piece of software while GNOME is a pile questionable decisions that uses web tech to create themes and takes about half a second to load up any window. Also the same pile where you’ve to use 3 different network management UIs to get stuff done. And… where you can’t have desktop icons because they were too hard to get done properly OR where you can’t have a “disable animations” toggle on the settings to actually disable ALL animations instead of just some stuff while leaving others arounds.

Finally, because nobody needs to manage system like it’s the 2000’s nor have duplicate daemons around to do stuff that systemd does in 1/4 of the resources and with less bugs.

The problem with compiled JS is that it doesn’t last long. Any piece of software written in the popular frameworks will probably not compile in 5 years because xyz dependency. There might be ways around it, but all annoying and not good. Some type of software really needs more assurances that “might compile in 5 years” because some people can’t afford to upgrade to the latest framework down the path due to size or simply lack of time.

📦 Zero Dependencies - Pure JavaScript, no build step required

This is really the best part. However the example does run a npm run build…

I would be great to have something that can be imported in a script tag like jquery and not something that requires npm and compilarion.

If you want to get the job (of publishing a blog) done fast, and move on, then use WP. If you want to mess around probably look at editorjs.io.

bittorrent decentralization

True bittorrent decentralization never happened.

There’s no real / true decentralization. You’re always dependent on something, somewhere in some way. It can be harder to shut it down but there’s also a point of failure somewhere. Blockchain is all fun and games until you’ve to consider resource waste and that you still need DNS and IPs working.

Lenovo brand new is bad, refurbished, well, you just want to have a bad time. This only applies to the new Chinese owned Lenovo, the IBM ones are fine in all possible states.

Performance optimization is hard because it’s fundamentally a brute-force task, and there’s nothing you can do about it

There is, “common sense” seems to accelerate that bruteforce work. Also some developers seem to be better at performance bruteforce than others, some enjoy it, others hate it.

Simplicity also plays a very important role here, most software is built by adding more features and at some point you may be able to simplify things a lot and make run a lot faster if you just rewriting it with all the use cases in mind.

and can even use as live environment, don’t even need to install (in Windows this is not easy to do)

Not true, Rufus creates bootable and persistent USB flash drives with one checkbox. You can do it manually also.

I was trying to illustrate a point, you may have your distro, your packages and what think you need, but if we’re talking about post-apocalyptic you’ll probably need other stuff and at that point you have windows computers and windows software installed or installers available pretty much everywhere starting with your next door neighbor and with Linux not so much.

Did you ever see any fresh install of Windows not be able to display at least 800x600 on any GPU? You didn’t. It works to the minimum, want more, sure grab an msi and install the drivers.

AppImage suffers from the same problem that Flatpak does, the tool do work offline aren’t really good/solid and won’t save you for sure. It also requires a bunch of very small details to all align and be correct for things to work out.

Imagine the post-apocalyptic scenario, if you’re missing a dependency to get something running, or a driver, or something specific of your architecture that wasn’t deployed by the friend alongside the AppImage / Flatpak (ie. GPU driver) you’re cooked. Meanwhile on Windows it has basic GPU drivers for the entire OS bakes in, or you can probably fish around for an installer as fix the problem. It is way more likely that you’ll find machines with Windows and windows drivers / installer than Linux ones with your very specific hardware configuration.

you are just not being helpfull

I am. When “shit hits the fan” you want to be as compatible and and frictionless as possible, because at point having a running computer will be a feat on its own and you probably won’t have time/power to deal with software complexities and “ways around issues”. You most likely want to boot a machine from whatever parts are available and get some data out of it or maybe in and move on to hunting or farming. No time to be there fixing xyz package with broken dependencies and whatnot. If someone gives you a flash drive with data it follows the same logic, you want to get to something as quickly as possible.

In Linux there’s also an over-reliance on web-based solutions that can be self-hosted in your system or a 3rd one but that, once again, just adds extra friction that you don’t have with “simple” formats and binaries like pdf, docx and others that at the end of the day are just self contained apps that can be run as is without extra fuzz nor cloud dependencies.

I’m all for Linux, alternative and open-source, but in the situation described you last concern is if you’re running proprietary stuff.

This is going to be controversial but…

Linux is not really suited for the post-apocalitic no-internet world, the way the repositories are built and software is packed (almost nothing is static, a lot of dependencies on other packages everywhere) just makes it really impractical and hard to deal with those scenarios. Flatpak / containers and friends even make this situation worse because you can’t easily mirror the repositories and there’s no straightforward way of exporting a Flatpak as a solid file that can be shared around and installed everywhere - the current tool for that doesn’t account architectures and dependencies very well.

Windows however is a much more solid and good option, yes, it’s painful to hear this but in Windows you can get an exe from a friend in a flash drive and it runs as is. Same goes for installers, reinstalling the OS etc. There’s only a couple of .net framework installers that will cover dependencies for 99.99% of stuff in a few MB. The same goes for macOS, however it depends on a lot of software signing nowadays and certificates that can expire and you then have a problem.

Experience? Data loss, it’s the most unreliable thing and prone to failure, even long file names or paths seems to break it and you’ll lose data without warning.

Filebrowser is great, it just lacks two things 1) 2FA and 2) the always upcoming OnlyOffice integration. If we got those two nothing else could ever compete with it. It already does pre-views and text editing, but Office documents would be great.

I can split the config to another file, not really a big deal. :)
