It has a modest UI for end-users to handle self-service scenarios, and an app portal for OpenID Connect configured applications.

The backend is fully CLI based.

It is very robust and performant, built on Rust.

Yet very much in active development, so do not expect full parity with commercial alternatives at a feature level.

I run it to provision users for my home Linux devices and it supports offline login, my Homelab servers, and my self-hosted web applications through OIDC.

A nice ‘one stop shop’ for my purposes.

EDIT: Actually their comparison page might be a worthwhile read considering your question OP.

So in essence it is the same as Gameyfin?

Thank you for sharing. I will certainly give it a try.

To oversimplify the answer, if you put a strong enough ‘garden hose’ beneath the floating sphere, you would still get that ‘spraying effect’ like you do with a garden hose. However, the sphere would no longer ‘float’ in place in thst case.

Keep in mind that the floating sphere ‘uses the energy of the spray to stay aloft’, balanced against the weight of the sphere. As a result, there is not enough energy left to make the water spray outward like the garden hose does.

There are many different factors at work to keep the sphere afloat, such as the curved base below it, matching the sphere’s curvature. Again this is an oversimplified explanation, to help explaon the basic concept.

Case sensitive? 5 letters.

… I just had to verify my age …

No you did not. You chose to do so.

I have not used WhatsApp in 10+ years, Windows in 4+ years, Google services in 2+ years.

It is a choice, stop lying to yourself about having to accept things.

Recently, a major ISP in the Netherlands was determined to be streaming metadata from within their customer’s networks to Lifemote, a Turkish AI company.

Here’s a report in Dutch: https://tweakers.net/nieuws/245620/odido-router-stuurde-analyticsdata-naar-turks-ai-bedrijf.html

This is just the latest one to get caught doing it, but determine how comfortable you are having your internal network exposed to a 3rd party.

I’ve used personal/non-ISP modems and routers for 25 years because I’m not comfortable with it it. At all… But hey, you do you.

For the life of me I cannot fathom why that crowd doesn’t just switch to an Apple ecosystem when leaving Windows. The entire design philosophy is intended to cater to non-tech savvy people, and to keep them that way. Not saying every Apple user is non-tech savvy, but it is built to be stupid simple to use for anyone.

This YouTuber’s “I can install Linux but abandon it because I can’t figure out why it won’t boot anymore” mentality shows his own limitations.

Buy an Apple if you want to leave Windows, but have no interest in becoming proficient enough to use Linux as a main driver.

Mildly interesting indeed!

It’d be even more interesting if an interface like this would estimate the carbon emissions per scheduled trip for these ships.

Surely one could estimate the impact based off of the ship class and distance.

Come to think of it, that’d also be interesting for a flight radar kind of website.

I hadn’t heard of a “self hostable Steam-like platform” before; after reading the above post I became very excited… until I read it doesn’t support a Linux client and isn’t FOSS.

Thank you for sharing this alternative! Configuring it for my homelab environment right now.

Replayability because the core gameplay loop is fun, I whole heartedly support. I still (re)play (Open)TTD for this very reason and that’s been here for decades with no end in sight.

Endgame however, not always required.

@[email protected] have you heard of NixOS? If you’d become a contributor with these bitesized posts that you’re doing you’d be increasing the repeatability of your work immensely.

No pressure. Just doing some evangelization 🙂

‘The endgame’ really only started to become a thing with te launch of live service games. Or more specifically at that time, MMO games.

There was a time when it was perfectly okay to have a game you thoroughly enjoyed for say 10-, 20-, or 30 hours, and then ‘ended the game’.

With game backlogs also having become a thing, I’m fine with playing a game like this, enjoying it while I am working through it, and then moving on to the next thing.

Oh it certainly wasn’t the first I have ever used.

Debian, Ubuntu, Kali, and more.

This is just the first one that has made me ‘want to make the shift’, so to speak.

I specialize professionally in hyper automation of all sorts of things. Long time user of PowerShell, custom built C++/C#/Java backend services. More recently also utilizing Python and Rust.

The declarative nature of NixOS (incl. Flakes, idempotent ❤️) is what I love about it. Although I am well aware it can be quite daunting for those that prefer imperative scripting, or even ClickOps.

Nix (and more specifically, NixOS) made me switch to Linux as my daily driver.

I had been using Windows since 3.11 as my daily driver, MS DOS before that. This was for web browsing, gaming, and development. Linux was my sandbox on the side, and mostly server OS throughout the years.

Goes to show how powerful packagemanagers can be, it made me make the full switch after ~30 years. I love how my OS is now idempotent/declarative.
