A reference to Starship Troopers

I am waiting for sqlite support to be merged

So many tweets are faked as screenshots to spread misinformation. I don’t know if this post is for real or a joke. So please provide links (via the wayback machine).

Sources of those tweets?

Thats false! There is already a link to the wikipedia article, but here is the relevant quote: „but uses hardware restrictions or digital rights management (DRM) to prevent users from running modified versions of the software on that hardware.“

It is not a violation of the GPL 2, the license of the Linux kernel, but only the GPL 3 which was basically created for this case. Linus Torvalds is a big defender of the GPL 2 and said that Tivo provided good patches for the hardware they used.

(”obviously“ sarcasm)

I didnt even think about it, but looking it up „a European“ is correct. It‘s not about the letter, but the sound.

Has anyone tried it? I am thinking about using it on some Raspberry Pi 5.

There is plant-it written in Java and HortusFox written in PHP. Both using MySQL. Is there anything available which is written in Go or Rust and uses SQLite?

Is the posted image from the time the article was published, so 9 years ago?

I chose Navidrome, with which you can stream music from your hard drive. It has very easy setup and it feels just great to stream your own music. I use Tailscale to connect the server to my phone and Ampery as an iOS app.

Free software as in freedom of speech, not necessarily as in free beer. Maintainers also need to pay the bills.

It is also very resource efficient. I am running it on a Raspberry Pi 2 and it works flawlessly.

Yes, the comment was meant as criticism of the streaming era packaged as a joke

It‘s 2023, you can still listen to the same shitty music, because it is yours to keep.

• Use sqlite instead of Postgres, MariaDB
• Avoid enterprise software (Kubernetes, Elastic Search)
• Only use projects with efficient programming languages such as Go, Rust, etc.
• Try to run things bare metal
• Lookout for projects which name themself minimal or light-weight

I use a Raspberry Pi 2 to self host a Dashboard written in Rust (Axum), a RSS reader called yarr and a music streaming server Navidrome. The latter two are written in Go and very resource efficient. The electricity bill should be under a Euro a month (6.4W max power consumption).

The project controlled by only one entity can affect users in the future. Moving forward Hashicorp could do anything with the code or licensing and nobody could do anything about it. It is good that something is happening now, when there is still the chance to do it.

I‘ve recently started using Tailscale for my home setup and I really can‘t recommend it enough. In my opinion it takes a lot of the dangers regarding IT security out of self hosting. Depending on who you ask it is not true self hosting, but I couldn’t care less :)

With Tailscale you can create a VPN for your devices including your phone and even expose services to the outside world with SSL already setup (havent tried that out, yet)

They have guides/tutorials for a lot of stuff (web server, Minecraft).

In the Veritasium video about IQ they said that the American military actually has limits on how many people with below average IQ they can recruit. They found out that those people had a higher chance of dieing and needed way more training, so less people with higher IQ were better for the military success.

It is very normalized in the south of Germany, but generally Germany is very pro homeopathy so so it is even subsided by the public health care system.
