I currently am and I have been hosting my own mail for the past several decades, so I can tell you from experience that it still is very much possible, but it has become significantly more complex than it used to be, not recommended for anyone who doesn’t have a particular interest in mail.

That seems like a very safe bet:

Dame Rachel told BBC Newsnight: “Of course, we need age verification on VPNs - it’s absolutely a loophole that needs closing and that’s one of my major recommendations.”

Debian, of course.

I’ve had Linux on my work desktop for the past twenty years.

You had me scared there for a moment, but the Syncthing people are dependable and support hasn’t been dropped, it’s just the prebuilt binaries that no longer will be provided.

What does any of that have to do with your login shell?

Why would your login shell need to be fully POSIX compatible?

I’ve had a couple of domains (including one .com) registered under a made-up name for several years, nothing interesting ever happened.

When I bought my first PC in 1994.

At the time, the choice of hardware I could afford and operating systems that didn’t suck was extremely limited, a PC with Linux was pretty much the only practical choice and I’ve stuck with that ever since.

[…] just as convenient and beginner-friendly as what Apple provides?

There’s a reason why Apple is able to charge so much money for that — and that reason is that the answer to your question is no.

What I’d like to know: For anyone using some app other than AntennaPod: Why? How is it worth it?

Slackware, of course, but when Debian was first released two years later I obviously switched (and it’s been Debian since then).

It seems this is built upon Linux:

The primary barrier for me: I’m not convinced that it’s a good idea.

For interactive use, apt provides a nicer interface. I can easily see why some people would prefer that.

When scripting, it’s better to use apt-get instead of apt:

Thanks for the tip! Despite never actually using sushi, I had it installed so now I’ve uninstalled it to avoid using it by accident.

Thank you for this very enlightening explanation!

While it doesn’t make any sense at all that “a Discord server” (an online community hosted by the Discord company) is used to mean a totally different thing from “a Discord server” (a server which runs the Discord software), your explanation makes all the other comments here suddenly make sense.

I had to check that I hadn’t dreamed this up on my own, but looking around now there are claims to having Discord servers all around, these were just the first handfull I now found:

“FreeBSD has a Discord server to socialize, get support, support others, learn, contribute, collaborate, and stay up to date on all things FreeBSD and Open Source.”

https://wiki.freebsd.org/Discord/DiscordServer

“If you have questions that are not covered by the documentation, you can get in contact with us on our Discord server or create a post in the discourse forum.”

https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea

“We’re transitioning to our own discord server!”

https://github.com/OpenNeptune3D/OpenNept4une/discussions/111

“We’re opening our own Discord server as a replacement for our Gitter.”

https://www.crowdsec.net/blog/crowdsec-on-discord

“I’m excited to announce the launch of our Discord server, VigneshDevHub, designed to build a thriving open-source community where developers of all levels can collaborate, learn, and work on amazing projects together!”

https://dev.to/vignesh-j/join-the-open-source-community-on-discord-4h40

“Our Discord server got a makeover.”

https://finchsec-1672417305892.hashnode.dev/channel-updates-in-our-discord-server

That you’re now telling me that none of them actually have their own Discord server is just bizarre. I can’t be the only one who took those words at face value, simply assuming that they in fact had their own Discord servers.

Have you ever used discord?

No, not really.

The name server isn’t prescriptive. It’s not your own server. It’s just your own chat rooms

Eh, you lost me there, what’s that supposed to mean? How could my own server suddenly become not my own server if I started to use Discord?
