Tom Scott does a great job of explaining this. Tr;Dr is paper ballots are a mature process that has the benefit of requiring physical access to tamper with, and governments who aren't great at IT and only do something at scale once 4 years is asking for trouble

Immich is the best photo solution I have used and has been really easy to setup. Nextcloud apps are usually ok but usually have a more specialized alternative

I want to try alpine out but the lack of systemd support is a blocker since I don't want to add openrc support to all my Ansible playbooks that rely on systemd services and timers

Somehow that was a bigger emotional blow than finding out pro wrestling is fake

When it is the cause of a problem it's not always obvious at first so you spend hours troubleshooting the broken app until you look at DNS and a simple DNS issue

If your Linux distro is using btrfs you can format it to btrfs and use btrfs send for backups. Otherwise the filesystem shouldn't be to big if a deal unless you want to restore files from a Windows machine. If that is the case use ntfs

Brave has a crypto token and that turns Alot of people off of brave. They also heavily encourage people to use custodial exchanges which turns some crypto people. They have also have added their affiliate links on cert pages when users would visit and they had nasty bug in their sync which mixed up user data. Otherwise Brave removes Alot of the bad parts of chrome and brave search is pretty solid. The privacy alternative is Firefox or librewolf. If you need chromium for whatever reason brave or ungoogled chromium

There are philosophical and technical reasons to not like snaps

Technical

  • Slow startup time
  • Makes lsblk look really ugly
  • For awhile users didn't have a lot of control over when things updated
  • Not designed to work with third party repos by default
  • Requires apparmor so it doesn't work well on selinux distros.

Philosophical

  • Backend is proprietary and controller by a single company
  • Has made the same amount of effort as flatpak to work on distros that aren't Ubuntu
  • Some people just don't like Ubuntu
