I'm surprised at how normal some of the unseen words are. I expected them to all be archaic or niche, but many are pretty reasonable: 'congregant', 'definer', 'stereoscope'.

dentel, exclaustrations, gryding, datolite, frabbing?

not having investigated this tool, I'll say that the key thing for 'open alternatives' is simplicity of hosting, + many tools have failed me in the past

thinking specifically of immich + simplenotes, which have complex docker compose stacks, and at least immich requires a lot of TLC to keep the backend in sync with the frontend. fail at this and your images will not sync.

(and I am not knocking it, I use it + love it)

these apps are in a sense featureful, with ML indexing and other search features, but in a sense just auth wrappers on file storage; hosting them they should, somehow, be simpler than it is

A default linux install is incredibly silent on the network. You might be seeing some mDNS stuff, gnome/firefox may do some requests to detect captive portals, but overall the amount of network traffic is pretty small and manageable.

It's important to note that, generally speaking, Linux software does not come with default-enabled telemetry, and for those that do, distros like Debian will routinely patch out phoning home and telemetry from the software they package.

yes this. learning about the user-aligned patching in debian's chromium made me feel like I had made the right choice with desktop linux

oh my god these things run on a gpu don't they? they have nothing to do with golang? to the extent they run on a cpu they're heavy; we're not like solving the c10k problem with agents

“Some years ago” isn’t a Moby Dick-ism, it’s perfectly normal English to open an anecdote with.

'some years ago I went through a phase' in an introduction is plausibly a moby dick reference

I'm not seeing any "Call me Ishmael".

some years ago

> Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world
