Keep in mind, the Linux foundation also funds plenty of Linux developers and maintainers, e.g. Linus Torwalds. They still push forward the Linux kernel and software around the Linux environment. Believing, that such a global-scale project can stay free from corporate interest is plain naive.

Nevertheless, I understand the point, that they should rather use FOSS software, instead of hypocritically saying “we encourage a global FOSS ecosystem” while using proprietary garbage.

Yes, as I said, I am mostly using Debian. It’s an amazing and incredibly stable server system. I mainly digged into Alpine, to try a new system, that wasn’t too popular a couple of years back. I mean, if you go for well known server systems as Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, then of course, you will be satisfied. But trying things, that weren’t a trend a couple of years back might surprise you with great features, that other distributions doesn’t offer. That’s my hope with Alpine. But sadly, I have too little time to dig into it

Which isn’t too bad. Many distro hoppers end up using arch. The problem is, that many hoppers try to go more and more minimal without losing too much comfort. Arch is THE way to go. It’s simple to install and use. It is not necessarily bloated with a lot of useless shit. It gives the user the freedom to design the distro just in their favor.

I am not saying, that this isn’t possible with other distros. But in my opinion, Gentoo, Debian, LFS can be used with the same intention, but they end up being way more time consuming to setup. Arch is a nearly perfect trade off between usability & minimal OS. And if you can cope with the rolling release system and systemd, then you’ll be happy with Arch.

After years of struggling with distros I finally found my passion in Arch. I customized my system quite a lot to be kind of a power user. My OS is pretty much perfectly fitted to my needs.

For server-use, I am still a fan of debian. Easy to setup, and no rolling-releases. Software is well tested. Currently, I am checking out Alpine Linux on one of my servers. So far, I am satisfied with it as well, but old habbits die hard. And it’s not that easy to get used to Alpine.

Wasn’t me, to clarify. Just because I have a different opinion on some things, doesn’t mean, I would segregate someone or downvote them because they do not agree with me.

(Just in case, if you address me with this post)

As I said, I am not a native English speaker. I just agree, that it’s more inviting than non-universal languages. That’s the quintessence of my claim.

I thought, it might prevent discrimination. But apparently, I was wrong.

I agree with the claimed issue. I just dislike the fact, that I will be forced to make another click to get the results I am looking for. But that’s not part of this post

To support my plea:

1: Reddit has plenty of non-English subreddits. This is exactly what happens when a platform gets more and more common. With a larger diversity in people, it gets more diverse in terms of languages and subcultures.

2: I did not ask for shaping lemmy to an English-only community. Otherwise I wouldn’t request it in c/worldnews

3: My plea is related to c/worldnews. If someone is incapable of finding a source on English, shouldn’t the person reconsider if it is actual c/worldnews? Or maybe a more regional community as c/<insert country of choice>

4: I think English is the only non-restricting language. Posting something in another language restricts the majority of users from participating in the discussion. If c/worldnews aims for a diverse community, then it should aim for a rather neutral language.

I am not a native English speaker, but do agree, that English is the universal language (aka. world language). And if something is called “world language”, then it’s more than appropriate in a community called “world news”.

Don’t get me wrong, I love to see diversity in a community. I just feel myself excluded from a couple of discussions in this community. And if it excludes some people from the discussion, then it’s more restricting than using a universal language. Don’t you guys agree?

Does someone have some experience with these books?

I always had this website on my “todo” list to check it out. I never did. Does someone actually think, this is a great resource?

I personally think, there are many resources out there. Two of those just spring to my mind

Alright, sorry for asking.

What’s your point of using 8?

I will use multiple database connections. But I want to have a single service in the middle. Why is it so hard to understand? Isn’t modularity an achievable characteristic for a service? I will use multiple domains. And each domain will have their own service hosted. Since, all domains need to access the same data, I just like to use a middle tier for it. It makes sense, because I just need one configuration for the middle tier. I don’t want to maintain the same configuration for multiple services.

C is easier to get familiar with it. I studied Rust during the summer, but I figured out, that I have to come back to rust later this year. It’s still on my agenda, but not for now.

If I decide against the middle tier service, then I won’t have a single point of access for the database. It will result in having two different services accessing the same database. It’s an architecture I don’t necessarily appreciate. Counter question: What’s the problem with this modular structure consisting of multiple microservices?

.ml TLD is freely accessible. They have the ideology to offer anyone who want’s to have a domain for free. It’s the only country in Africa so far which does this. It’s an amazing service. Especially for CS students and hobbyists who love publishing some of their side projects without having to pay a fee for a domain.

How is this open source? Can’t find any source code linked on the web page. Open-source implies the code is accessible to the public.
