Tannenbaum is fucking asshole. Isn’t he the idiot that told Torvalds “you certainly would have failed my class if you submitted your OS as a final project?”

The guy deserves no respect.

Romance language word order noun_descriptor is the right way.

Yeah… I only use Debian server side. Despite it’s flaws I’d say Ubuntu is the better desktop option if you don’t want to go down the whole Arch route.

Nextcloud notes. They’ll sync as text filed between your devices. You can use markdown, and they have a mobile app.

Lol. Arch for desktop, Debian for servers is where it’s at, IMO.

Yeah but the majority of bots out there are going after easy prey. Honestly, if you use public key authentication with ssh you should be fine, even if it is on port 22. But it does of course clog up access logs.

Https and a server. If hosting at home just leave a high numbered port open. If on a vps then you should be able to use any port you want.

Yeah, I sort of wish you could just launch them from the terminal like any other app. flatpak -run com.whatever.whatever is a bit tedious and half the time I have to go into /var/lib/.../ to figure out what the app is officially called anyway.

That said, for stuff that isn’t in the official repos and (for Arch people) isn’t available as a binary on the AUR or seems kinda sketchy to install from the AUR, then flatpak is a great option. For “app” stuff, like Spotify I am a fan of flatpak.

Yes. As a Gnome user is agree.

Oh I just mean the Android versions OEMs ship. Most of these lock more stuff down. That’s all I meant.

Can’t proper AOSP delete system apps? I know essentially all phones come locked down but is there anything in base Android itself that precludes this? Just grab the su binary and Bob’s your uncle.

Yup, outside of the desktop, Linux rules the world.

I’ve managed to do it for my personal email and find it very rewarding. Sadly, I could never use it for my business. It’s just too risky and there may always be a few delivery problems here and there.

VPS hosting, BTW, not home.

Frankly the only thing I’d save in Google Docs are encrypted archives. Otherwise they’ll profile the documents to send ads to you. But it is a good back up in case lightning strikes your home or something.
