This is what LGPL is for.
You can still use a library like a library freely, without restriction, but you are keeping your IP protected from being copied cloned and modified elsewhere.

I’m going to guess because of the tools that don’t use LGPL.
Which makes them quite limiting and kind of controversial since you have to adopt their license from my understanding, even if used as a library.
I try and use LGPL on all my projects since it allows others to use the Library as a library, and anyone that wants to modify or use the source has to copy left.
Not trying to start an argument here but I do want to point out that your argument foundations on blaming other competitors instead of looking at what can make the platform you’re passionate about more palatable.
There are many, MANY, reasons people will choose Mac and windows on their own accord.
Your argument hand waves that away to make a boogieman out of mac and windows, and erodes the true viability of Linux as a platform by not looking at how it can improve, and instead focusing on how the competition “is bad”.
Taking the ego stance that Linux “would be great if it wasn’t being held back by the bad guys” doesn’t actually help Linux desktop adoption…
It turns into a Linux problem when it holds back Linux desktop adoption by creating a difficult or even toxic environment for new, low-technical or non-technical users.
I mean if you’ve never seen or used a car before, and someone from a position of relative authority or trust gave you a very convincing argument that a particular part that you don’t understand is easy to remove and you’ll benefit from it…
Yeah it’s pretty reasonable that the average person might shoot themselves in the foot by letting them remove that part (tell them a command to run).
I mean you essentially just highlighted a primary user experience problem with Linux…
Information & advice is fragmented, spread around, highly opinionated, poorly digestible, out of date, and often dangerous.
And then the other part of it is that a large part the Linux community will shit on you for not knowing what you don’t know because of some weird cultural elitism…
When you finally ask for help once you realize you don’t know what you’re doing, you’re usually met with derisive comments and criticism instead of help.
Do you want Linux to be customizable so that users can control it however they want. Or do you want it to be safe so that users don’t mess it up? You can’t have it both ways, and when you tell users to “go figure it out” and then :suprise_pikachu: that they found the wrong information because they have literally no idea what’s good or bad, instead of helping, they get shit on.
It’s the biggest thing holding Linux desktop back.
Damn, that’s just cancerous
I love this.
Especially being written in a language like C#. Which makes it incredibly accessible to work on, performant, and long-lasting.
Straight to the personal attacks, I’m sure this can only end well.
This is not how you promote a project…
Yeah I had literally no idea what you were talking about until you mentioned the actual name in the comments.
NPM almost universally refers to node package manager in any developer or development adjacent conversation in my experience. Given that both the site, the command, the logo, and the binaries are “npm” makes that more appropriate.
Nginix proxy manager is far to niche to be referred to universally by acronym when it’s only ever used as an acronym when the context for it’s usage has already been defined (ie. In it’s documentation).
This becomes much more clear when you Google the acronym.
It is, but also it’s worrisome since it means support is harder, which means risk of abandonment is higher and community contributions lower. Which means “buying in” is riskier for the time investment.
Not really criticizing, 10/10 points on making something and then putting it out there, nothing wrong with that. Just being a user who’s seen too many projects become stale or abandoned, and have noticed that the trend has some correlation to the technology choices those projects made.
I’ve been looking a platform for personal blog, portfolio, and what not that’s kind of fun to play with without having to build the whole thing myself.
What’s your opinion of this project?
As of today I’m actually in a lucky position where I am now able to set up a secondary NAS at my brother in laws and use that as a backup server that I can back up to essentially in real time.
All it’ll cost me is the hardware and the electricity.
Yes.
I’m sure one can reasonably infer that I do not mean 30 meters.
Conveniently at highway speeds 30 minutes and 30 miles away are essentially equal.
I’ll try and use appropriate notation next time
I might be crazy but I have a 20TB WD Red Pro in a padded, water proof, locking, case that I take a full backup on and then drive it over to a family members 30m away once a month or so.
It’s a full encrypted backup of all my important stuff in a relatively different geographic location.
All of my VM data backs up hourly to my NAS as well. Which then gets backed up onto the large drive monthly.
Monthly granularity isn’t that good to be fair but it’s better than nothing. I should probably back up the more important rapidly changing stuff online daily.
The way it works right now on my phone is you tap it to turn it on and off and then you long hold to open the setting.
I’m going to be peeved if that goes away in favor of OPs process…
The error posted in the app is from the website itself. It’s likely that the password manager is injecting something into the page which is causing errors.
There are many ways for this to go wrong, it has nothing to do with the web service itself.
We’re on Lemmy are they afraid of being censored because they are writing software catered for NSFW uses?
Other social media’s chilling effects are pretty deeply engrained unfortunately…
And there’s also the live sync extension which allows you to have live document syncs in real time via your own self-hosted CouchDB instance
The language it’s written in has very little, almost nothing, to do with how efficient larger applications are.
This is almost entirely up to the design and day-to-day decisions of the developers. These almost always outweigh the efficiencies of the underlying languages themselves (within reason).
A single location of poor data access patterns could negate the aggregate performance gains of your entire application, as an example. A framework that prevents you from making simple mistakes and drives you towards more efficient patterns goes much further than the language is written in.
Between Rust, C#, Java, and Go you’re essentially even on performance for large applications (with C# pushing ahead of the pack). What you are not even on is engineering efficiency, it’s going to take considerably longer to build the same set of features in rust than any of the others listed. And the performance is likely the same, potentially even worse depending on the maturity of the ecosystem.
Rust is a great systems design language and a great language to choose when developing high efficiency libraries & frameworks for I/O and data processing. It’s not really a great choice for application development due to how slow it is to actually get things done in.
I fully expect to see alternate backends written in more operationally efficient languages over the next decade that will catch up to the official Lemmy codebase, and potentially even replace it. It actually sounds like a super fun project, funding is always a problem though.
