Ubuntu uses Snap as first-class method to install software. So if a piece of software is available as DEB or Snap, Ubuntu will always use Snap.

I can’t wait for Brodie to report on this!

Exactly. With directly using certbot handling all and everything fully automatically I ran my old setup with a free dyndns subdomain for quite some time without any issues.

Since Let’s encrypt nowadays is basically implemented in every reverse proxy: certificates are an absolute no-brainer.

If someone manages to buy and configure a domain to serve selfhosted content, this person will also be able to either set up certbot or use the built-in functionality of their reverse proxy.

It’s 2025. Not having “real certificates” is something admins intentionally do. Since there is Let’s Encrypt available, all other solutions for non-paid certificates are obsolete.

There – of course – won’t be a singular official source stating “Hey guys, we’re open core now”. You need to put this together bit-by-bit.

Here are some links for research

• Official statement on the takeover
• Gitea Enterprise/Gitea Cloud hiding features behind a cloud solution and a paywall which makes Gitea itself open-core
• Open Letter to the new Gitea owners with a summary and a reply, signed by a lot of Gitea devs and FOSS scene people.
• As @gratux@lemmy.blahaj.zone mentioned: A fork under the name Forgejo was done due to new Gitea owners did not care much about the concerns. (Started as asoft-fork but with 10.0 it became a hard fork.)
• Gitea owners made it mandaroy to remove copyright headers and set the corporation as copyright holder. Here, here, and here

It falls under self hosted, at least. If it is still truly open source is highly debatable.

Never heard of 99% in that list.

Also, Gitea should not be there. It is a corporate -owned open core project that was hostilely taken away from the community.

That would be a wild experiment.

Yeah, I can tell from the look and features. *scnr*

What’s the use case for that browser? Daily-driving it to browse the web likely not, right?

Check the manual of the switch if it simulates a connected monitor for the client.

Some clients are picky when it comes to unplugging monitors or booting without one.

Wayland also seems to do something weird when the monitor is off (I have some applications where the window becomes tiny when turning off the screen).

To me, the point of Docker is having one container for one specific application. And I see the database as part of the application. As well as all other things needed to run that application.

Since we’re here, lets take Lemmy for example. It wants 6 different containers with a total of 7 different volumes (and I need to manually download and edit multiple files before even touching anything Docker-related).

In the end I have lemmy, lemmy-ui, pictrs, postgres, postfix-relay, and an additional reverse proxy for one single application (Lemmy). I do not want or need or use any of the containers for anything else except Lemmy.

There are a lot of other applications that want me to install a database container, a reverse proxy, and the actual application container, where I will never ever need, or want, or use any of the additional containers for anything else except this one application.

So in the end I have a dozen of containers and the same amount of volumes just to run 2-3 applications, causing a metric shit-ton of maintenance effort and update time.

To me the number one thing is, that it is easy to setup via Docker. One container, one network (ideally no network but just using the default one), one storage volume, no additional manual configuration when composing the container.

No, I don’t want a second container for a database. No I don’t want to set up multiple networks. Yes, I already have a reverse proxy doing the routing and certificates. No, I don’t need 3 volumes for just one application.

Please just don’t clutter my environment.

What features does bash have that make it so suitable for shells?

You mean, except being automatically available in basically every Linux distribution without having to install any additional software?
