Its definitely a concern that needs addressing

I’m fair new to the open source world, just afew years. I’m not a dev so I do not contribute my time in that way. One thing that struck me at the start (and I still think about) is how demanding people are of devs with zero gratitude for the work they do and share. I still find it utterly bizarre and entitled. It’s disappointing

It’s I sane how much it all is

Where are people getting drives at $10/tb?

Where I live it’s $50/tb

Is it hard to set up? Sound perfect for what I want, just also seems complicated for my skills haha

Yeah I hear you. I’ve installed it but I have no idea what to do from here. Cant access any kind of dash. I’ve just learnt it doesn’t have a native dash but you need a third party app for that?

Thanks for the link

I see it doesn’t have a dashboard, would I be better off with something like Baikal?

I’m quite basic and only really selfhost cause I don’t like big tech, not cause I’m a linux wizz

Follow up questions:

I seed to have created multiple users, how can I manage users?

Does Radicale have a dashboard?

I had problems with it creating new notes all the time. Glad it worked for you but I moved to Joplin

All of my apps are running without issue. First time in months

This is awesome

Is there much of an open source language learning community? There’s afew languages I’m interested in learning and prefer open source

I love this idea

Eventually, electric cars will become the norm. For an open source OS it just needs enough commercial interest. That’s largely what lets down alot of open source projects by the looks of it.

I saw there is a new open source printer out there now. I’m excited about that and interested to see how it goes.

Most of the public don’t see the value in open source or the barriers to entry are not worth it for them.

I’m not a dev so I’m certainly not casting shade on all the wonderful projects out there, more just an observation that you usually need to learn abit about computers to be able to access these projects. I’ve enjoyed the learning experiences
