I like Thunder

In Brazil I only see more and more places adopting it, does not seem a failure

Prime, Spotify, YouTube, Netflix. Also pay for Twitch

To be honest, no. I run in a Truenas Jail, and its stable for me. Just a bit slow for big files sometimes.

It uses activity pub, a protocol that allows servers to share content. So when you post on an instance, it became available for other instances to consume your content.

About slowness, it can be that your instance it being rate limited, or it is not powerful enough to process all its users. You can try another instance.

2024 will be the year of ARM on desktops!

I host it in a Truenas BSD Jail, and the process was as straightforward as compiling and running any other Rust / Postgres project. Which error did you get?

Another option is SearXNG. It’s meta search engine, which means that it aggregates other search engines like Google and Bing but without tracking or logging, because your searches are proxied using a public instance, that will mix your search with the ones from other people.

And about default search engine, don’t know what you’re talking about, both chrome and Firefox allows this, in mobile and desktop.

Maybe ask suggestions to chatgpt?

If you remove the app-platform role from Nextcloud by separately hosting the individual apps, what benefit do you get from having both Nextcloud and File Browser?

Nothing really. For almost any Nextcloud feature out there, you can find a server app that does the same.

But that’s the point in my opinion. I don’t want to waste time managing tons of apps if I can manage one Nextcloud instance. Nextcloud basically decides for me what’s the best way to get those features running, so I don’t need to figure out myself.

Now if you’re into self hosting one container for each feature, go for it, no reason to not do so.

I bought one from Dell and everything worked without any tweaks. It was a great out of the box experience.

An open source alternative is FRP

It’s a reverse proxy server that you install in both your server and a VM in the cloud, and it tunnels your server over the VM, like Cloudfare solution.

Of course you can use a reverse proxy to expose your apps to the internet.

Here’s another similar solution that you can self host in a cheap cloud VM:

First of all you need that your ISP actually gives you an IP that points back to your home network. It’s not uncommon that your IP points to some ISP NAT that routes the internet to many houses, making it impossible to expose some device in your network to the internet.

It was my case, then I needed to call them and ask to have an IP that goes directly to my gateway.

After that you can go to your gateway and do port forwarding from the internet to your server in your home. For example, you can forward port 80 from internet to your server private IP on port 80, so when someone browsers your IP it will get whatever page is hosted on your server.

About server tech specs, it depends on what you want to host. I used to host a personal Nextcloud server in a raspberry pi, which is really power efficient and cheap to maintain. Maybe you’ll want a server with higher specs that might draw more power. It’s really up to what you wanna do specifically.

I find myself spending less money on useless stuff by not seeing as many ads as before and getting more neutral search results.

Before I was finding myself wanting to buy certain stuff because they looked cool in ads. Now I think more on what I want to buy and start exposing myself to that product or service after the decision was made.

Canonical also tried this a few years ago with their Ubuntu Touch crowdfunding and failed. Even released some convergent devices but that didn’t sell much. My impression is that although the concept is cool it is simply not appealing for the general audience

If I remember correctly they also released a bunch of games in Wii u last year

I started with a pi 4 and it worked really well!

Sorry, I’m not following you. We’re discussing if deregulation is always bad or not, and my point is that it can be bad in excess.

The article points to some corruption that happened at the time, which is correct, but it does not discuss anything about the benefits (or lack of it) for the end user after the deregulation.

If we could prove that if we kept excess regulation in the market as it was before, people still could have access to telecommunication as we have today, my point should be wrong. But its not the article discussion or what you’re saying now.

Notice that I’m not defending 100% deregulation, even in the Brazilian example the market is still regulated today, just way less than it was 20 years ago. If we have no data caps for residential internet around here, its because of a regulation, not companies good faith for example.

Out of curiosity I asked chatgpt to list examples similar to the Brazilian one and it listed a few:

United Kingdom - Energy Deregulation Japan - Rail Deregulation New Zealand - Telecommunications Deregulation Australia - Banking Deregulation Sweden - Postal Service Deregulation

Truth is, its really hard to prove that something “is always” good or bad, as it will need to go over all cases and prove the point one by one. Normally economic discussions are applied to a society or sector, so we could say “in the US deregulation is often bad”, which is much more fair and easy to prove.

So can you explain for this specific case how other factors influenced in a way that the deregulation was still bad for the end user?
