Well, the obvious answer to nearly all those broad questions is: "It depends..."

But I mean what "work" and "effort"? I mean using Matrix isn't exactly hard... You need to install an App, register for an account, think of a password and log in... That's pretty much the same complexity as with Facebook or Discord?!

Surely issueing big tech companies a blank cheque for your life is easy. And you get free services in return. But I don't think using privacy respecting services and even Linux to do your office stuff is substancially more difficult than giving away all your data.

Klagen? Einstweilige Verfügung / Eilentscheid?

Wow. That settles the discussion pretty quickly...

I'm not sure with the transition layer... Isn't there things like qemu and box64... And multiarch support is part of most of the Linux distributions as of today? I always thought it's just a few commands to make your system execute foreign binaries. I mean I've only ever tried cross-compiling for arm and running 32bit games on amd64 architecture so I don't know that much. In the end I don't use that much proprietary software, so it's not really any issue for me. >99% of Linux software I use is available for ARM. But I can see how that'd be an issue for a gamer, regardless of the operating system being Windows or Linux or MacOS.

And I'm not really interested in the AI coprocessor itself. The real question for me is: Can it do LLM inference as fast as a M2/M3 Macbook? For that it'd need RAM that's connected via a wide bus. And then there's the question what does a machine with 64GB of RAM cost. That's the major drawback with a Macbook because they get super expensive if you want a decent amount of RAM.

That's a nice idea but has some pretty obvious technical drawbacks that aren't discussed in the blog article:

The complexity of most networks grows about exponentially with the number of connections between the entities. It gets immensely more computationally expensive that way and you're bound to use lots of additional network traffic and total cpu power that way.

And some (a lot of) people like using social media on their phones instead of a computer. You're bound to drain their batteries real fast by moving application logic there.

Other than that I like the general idea. The Fediverse should be more dynamic. Caching and discovery have some big issues in the current form. That should be tackled and we need technical solutions for that. And the current architecture isn't perfect at all.

Furthermore, if talking about the edge where networks are smarter... Why then move it into the browser which isn't at the edge? Wouldn't that be an argument to invent edge-routers like in edge computing? I mean with c2s you have a server on the one side and a client on the other side with the edge somewhere in between. If you now flip it you end up in a different situation. But there's still nothing at the edge where you could introduce some smarts...

As far as I know you want a web application firewall to block attacks. A reverse proxy is just to proxy requests and doesn't necessarily care if it forwards legitimate traffic or attacks.

Maybe you can find a guide/tutorial on how to set it up?

Usually you need the correct packages installed on your system to enable something like VAAPI or QSV. Then you need a version of ffmpeg with that enabled. And then configure it in Jellyfin correctly.

I don't have any specific insights on how to do it with Fedora. I suppose it's very similar to how it's done on other Linux distros.

Hmm. There is value in both. When I started out with NixOS I read lots of wiki articles. And we all know there is some room for improvement. And I also read several configs of other people to see how things tie together. And to look up things that aren't documented. Nowadays I just put in what I'm looking for and "language:nix" into Github. So there's lots of personal configs that turn up. Sometimes with useful stuff. So I think anything is better than nothing. But obviously if you have kids, prefer them and let other people come up with the detailed wiki articles 😆

Fair enough. I personally think someday someone will have the same niche issue I've already tackled and be happy to stumble over my code while googling it. So I just drop most things I do somewhere for other people to find. Regardless.

But concerning NixOS, I also still need to switch over a few things to agenix and generalize parts of my config before publishing it.

Just put it on Codeberg or Github. Having other people's config for reference is always nice. Especially for beginners.

Or like nutrinional yeast, which is basically the same thing. And interestinly enough both nutritional yeast And MSG are in the recipe. I'd say one of those is enough... But maybe it tastes too much of yeast if you don't replace some of it with MSG.

Anon could ride a blimp. They're a thing.

I wonder if experiences from 12 years ago and numbers from 8 years ago still hold true as of today.
