People seem to be doling out some hate for OnlyOffice because of its compatibility with MSOffice formats.

I may be reporting it wrong. I didn’t get it at the time, either.

use a specific version

Ha! Prove the version is valid with checksums and signatures. “But the label said it was that version”? No sympathy.

The idea that this kind of workflow could be full of risk has been debated … since the CPAN days. If you pull in black box code without inspecting it, then you deserve the day you begged for.

…and if you chose a model that doesn’t allow for easy validation, that’s still on you.

I was looking at that very thing last night.

But then I realized, “why can’t immich just create usable packages like we had before?” and noped back out.

But, for a moment, I was sure a little inspection and testing would make the Internet equivalent of NYC MTA coin-sucking magically safe. It looked so eeeeasy.

Oof. There’s an entire fdroid ecosystem you’ve cut yourself off from.

Short list. Do I need a plug-in that isn’t mentioned because UX is dead?

Aside from

• iso27002 violations
• FHS violation

It looks good!

Is there a docker-free build you can either install and mod to re-enable voice, or use to mod the docker blobs in accordance ?

Discord never replaced mumble. The two are in different circles.

Tip: if you’re pluralizing and using an apostrophe, you’re doing it wrong.

On an average day, I spend 0 minutes managing the homelab.

0 is the goal. Well done !

Edit: Ha! Some masochist down-voted that.

How it started : 0

Max : 0

Now : 0

Iso27002 and provenance validation goes brrrrr

You’re not alone.

The industry itself has become pointlessly layered like some origami hell. As a former OS security guy I can say it’s not in a good state with all the supply-chain risks.

At the same time, many ‘help’ articles are karma-farming ‘splogs’ of low quality and/or just slop that they’re not really useful. When something’s missing, it feels to our imposter syndrome like it’s a skills issue.

Simplify your life. Ditch and avoid anything with containers or bizarre architectures that feels too intricate. Decide what you need and run those on really reliable options. Auto patching is your friend (but choose a distro and package format where it’s atomic and rolls back easily).

You don’t need to come home only to work. This is supposed to be FUN for some of us. Don’t chase the Joneses, but just do what you want.

Once you’ve simplified, get in the habit of going outside. You’ll feel a lot better about it.

Still crutching on containers?

Comically, the organization with the worst history for virtualization now doubled-down on SAAS. This is certainly going well.

desktop client app for Linux

An app THAT DOES WHAT? You may as well be asking for “a food I can eat bite by bite”.

Still crutching on containers?

Got a version without docker?

Container crutches. Ew.

Where’s the Bazel people at?
