This seems more like UK Gov vs. WhatsApp.
Nice Signal are also holding their ground but they are a little fish in a big pond. The Government uses WhatApp heavily and there have been quite a few leaks, assume they would love a wee backdoor.

Morons are everywhere, be prepared. Occasionally I’m one of them.
Check out the ‘selfhosting’ communities.
Retro gaming is an another option, Arcade Punks have a lot for resources for this. I don’t retro game that often and storage speed is not an issue when I do so I have a few old drives with gaming systems on them I can just connect via usb & boot into when I’m in the mood.
On YouTube Network Chuck, Jeff Geerling and Explaining Computers have a lot of easy to access tutorials on setting up server stuff but most of it you can just copy & paste from tutorial sites or github.
Connect a few TB’s of storage via usb, hdd dock is great but use whatever you can get. You could even run the OS from a USB stick and use the internal drive just for media storage, I done this for years with a 2008 pc server running Alpine Linux…as you have loads of ram you could even run the entire OS in ram from usb for an even faster system than ssd will provide with Alpine’s diskless or disk data options.
Tailscale was a big one for me. Makes it simple to install on my server, laptop, desktop & phone so they can all talk to each other when out and about instead of worrying too much about firewalls and open ports at home…I am looking into this for hosting my own Lemmy instance at the moment.
If you have a personal music collection Navidrome + Symfonium, or other client, is amazing imo. Spotify killer. I also have slskd docker daemon running for soulseek so I can download flac music to my server when out and about and instantly stream it as mp3/ogg to my android device or laptop. Jellyfin and a torrent deamon does a similar job for video. As other have mentioned Pihole is cool and stuff like NextCloud too.
Best bet at the moment is to look for a sub about dogs, or even just animals, as opposed to hoping for a vibrant labradoodle community. Or cars, instead of The Honda Civic Users Club.
The entirety of Lemmy & Kbin is around that of a medium sized subreddit at the moment.
I’ve decided to ditched the subscription option, it feels largely pointless for me aside from expressing support at the moment. The whole thing can be managed as one would a subreddit using the local/all/hot/new/timescale/active options, the text search and alerts system.
Yeah, issue with uploading pretty much all images. Occasionally it does work.
Is fine on other instances.
Depends on the system.
sudo is complex with a lot of code and options.
doas is small, simple & secure from OpenBSD.
If all you want is root priv without remembering two passwords on your box, doas is fine. If you want a complex system of admins and users with fine grained permission control sudo may be a better option.
I use ’ su -’ much of the time and just use a root shell.
Actively replacing sudo with doas on an OS that includes sudo in the base system seems pointless imo.

By the time he gets to book 4/5 it’s all starting to get a little out of hand for poor George.
I looked at a few instances a week or two ago and decided on fmhy as they seemed, by name, prepped for Reddit users. I then subscribed to a lot of communities often on other instances or kbin. I’ve found that my local feed is not what I want, lots of piracy & porn, and my subscribed feed has a lot of repetition as a lot of communities are cross posting stuff. Also uploading media seems broken.
I’ve created an account on a smaller instance with a local feed that is fairly quiet, inoffensive and a little more niche, which makes for a pleasant homepage. Switching to the ‘All’ feed gives a nice overview of the lemmy & kbin world.
I think I’m gonna avoid the subscribe button for a while and watch, post, comment & vote instead. The entirety of lemmy & kbin is about the size of a medium subreddit at the moment. I think the ‘All’ feed with some sorting options alongside the search and alert system may be a better way to navigate the current landscape than subscribing to 1234 communities with liberal use of copy & paste.

Easier to keep track of everything they are wrong about and factor that in.

If what I hear it’s true than once a NixOS user is up and running adding additional packages and up-streaming them appears to be a fairly simple process.
Something like Arch has ~10,000 packages in the main repo and the AUR has ~70,000 packages. It’s hard to get something into the Arch repo, very easy to get something into the AUR. NixOS seems like it may be a middle ground where by the time someone can grok the system they should only be a step or two away from contributing to it.
I’m sure it’s a factor. I don’t use Nix but from what I gather the easiest way to run a package is often to add it, and upstream are pretty accepting. The number isn’t that wild if you compare it to something like Arch+AUR. Also Nix wants to do it all and replace stuff like pyp and other native package managers, I think pyp alone is responsible for >5000 nixpkgs.
If you are counting different versions then it’s hundreds of thousands…and I think you can mix and match them.
Yes, consider popping in an ssd in place of the hdd if you have a few more pennies to spare.
Between Explaining Computers, Jeff Geerling & Network Chuck on Youtube you should be able to get a server up and running on an old machine. You can then install Lemmy via docker or whatever.
A home network server can be pretty safe & simple, exposing that server to the internet should take a little more thought and planning.
Digital Ocean or similar is likely the simplest way to try it.

Create a $4pm Ubuntu droplet & install Lemmy.
Probably cheaper to run per hour than an old pc and install of the OS is instant and disposable. If you do something stupid or get hacked, you just delete and start fresh…no need to worry about l33t haxxors all in your home base.

Is that not what the article covers?
RHEL customers can request the source code, they cannot distribute it. If you are a RHEL customer with a license agreement, just ask. I don’t think they will be sending corporate customer requests via microfiche in the post in 30 working days. Where it was once easy for anyone to get RHEL’s source code, going forward it will be a service only for customers who agree to be bound by an IBM legal agreement upon receipt of code or access to the tree.
CentOS was very useful, so they bought it, let it spread and then killed it abruptly. They have since watched Oracle, Alma & Rocky offer solutions to CentOS withdrawal, make decade long promises to their customers and get comfortable before breaking the whole eco-system of decade long ‘binary compatibility with RHEL’ systems.
No.
But Arch supports around 14,000 packages and any branch of Nix has around 100,000 stable and 100,000 unstable packages.
Linux gives you freedom.
Freedom lets you break stuff.
If, like Windows or MacOSyou just use it as intended by official support, it should be fine. If you start just adding everything and anything from anyone you’re gonna break stuff.
Other stuff is made to be idiot proof, Linux is not.
