That, plus all the obvious propaganda, dogmatic echo chambers, and people who misspell stuff voluntarily, or make extremely basic mistakes (“your wrong”, “its that”, “there logic”, etc) more than once.

It happens to the best of us 🙂

Also, could you please update the title of your fediverse post? The article now says 21k 🙂

If you need to provide tools that cross security boundaries then […] a small web app is better [than sudo].

A web app? Effin really!!? 🤨

But use the widows version and the proton layer. The Linux version is horribly coded.

And Docker initially used Ubuntu. They explicitly and specifically switched to Alpine in 2016 for performance, to minimise the overhead.

Note: this comment is long, because it is important and the idea that “systemd is always better, no matter the situation” is absolutely dangerous for the entire FOSS ecosystem: both diversity and rationality are essential.

Systemd can get more efficient than running hundreds of poorly integrated scripts

In theory yes. In practice, systemd is a huge monolithic single-point-of-failure system, with several bottlenecks and reinventing-the-wheel galore. And openrc is a far cry from “hundreds of poorly integrated scripts”.

I think it is crucial we stop having dogmatic “arguments” with argumentum ad populum or arguments of authority, or we will end up recreating a Microsoft-like environment in free software.

Let’s stop trying to shoehorn popular solutions into ill suited use cases, just because they are used elsewhere with different limitations.

Systemd might make sense for most people on desktop targets (CPUs with several cores, and several GB of RAM), because convenience and comfort (which systemd excels at, let’s be honest) but as we approach “embedded” targets, simpler and smaller is always better.

And no matter how much optimisation you cram into the bigger software, it will just not perform like the simpler software, especially with limited resources.

Now, I take OpenRC as an example here, because it is AFAIR the default in devuan, but it also supports runit, sinit, s6 and shepherd.

And using s6, you just can’t say “systemd is flat out better in all cases”, that would be simply stupid.

Devuan + xfce.

Larger might be acceptable too, not sure

It should.

Also, work off of the copy. Never touch the source.

Better lzma performance with xz. 🤪

I think Time Cop answers your request the best.

It is on f-droid (ca.hamaluik.timecop).

Unfortunately, even tho it works well for your use case (you would have to turn on the option to have only one task at a time), it makes very basic use of notifications, and has no widget… It could be so much more.

Edit: I discovered it yesterday while perusing this thread (I have been searching for a time management software for a long time, so I checked all the suggestions one by one on f-droid, and when searching for “a time tracker”, I found it), and I have been using since. Very cool software. Works well, very usable. I highly recommend it.

Only the gitlab project was taken down. They moved.

Have fun with the initramfs.

Now let’s get ISPs to run this!!

Ah OK. My bad then. Probably someone that I inconvenienced elsewhere and who went through all my comments to downvote everything then 😅

Thanks for your answer. Yeah I can see how that can be annoying. I’ll admit that I didn’t upgrade in quite a while… So that might be why.

Using minio, and I don’t find it complicated? But maybe I’m not using it as intensively as you. What issues did you run into?

Edit: I don’t care about the down vote (except that it shows that you saw my answer), but could you at least answer?? 😐

Saw the post, immediately thought of this, I’m using it and it works 👌

Rooted devices are not secure.

This reeks of servitude/wishful thinking mentality. You do realise that vendors have root access, right? So what, when they do it it’s secure because of their magical vendor status? Or is it because they hide the implementation details?
