  • I haven’t tried TrueNAS, but I use NixOS for my NAS and my other servers. It’s perfect for servers imo since it’s essentially a Linux system builder that you can customize to add whatever you want to your system.

    The downside is that you’ll have to learn a weird functional programming language, especially when you get into writing service modules yourself (for services that don’t have an upstream module). And it’ll take some time to get familiar with it and learn how to effectively write your configuration.






  • I’m sure you have your limit too.

    Considering this is the very excuse used in practice right now to demonize very real people and take away their rights, I have very little sympathy for this argument that is entirely based on hypotheticals.

    No. People should publish all the weird porn they want.

    Especially when the perpetrators seem to think it’s harmless.

    It is literally harmless. It’s a fantasy.

    fucking your favorite cartoon

    I thought furries were usually original characters, but if someone wants to fuck Mickey Mouse, good for them.






  • I also don’t like Apple’s insistence on telling me what I do and do not want in a product. According to Steve Jobs no one wants a touchscreen on their laptop

    Anecdotally, I had a touchscreen convertible laptop before my current MacBook. I even got the pencil for it that let me draw on the screen, which I wanted to use for taking notes. The pencil sucked in practice (this was a >1000€ laptop, not much less expensive than my MacBook! maybe that’s just what I get for buying HP though.) and sooner rather than later I got an iPad for taking handwritten notes, and the touchscreen itself turned out to be a gimmick that I used in the beginning but eventually turned off.

    Sometimes, they’re right. For example, kind of the reverse: people wanted floating windows on the iPad for years. I always said this would be incredibly awful to use in practice without a mouse. Now they added windows on the iPadOS 26 beta and I tested it and it was exactly as finicky as I expected it to be. Hopefully they’ll still polish it so that it’s at least as good to use as the old side-by-side view (which they unfortunately removed), but this really isn’t it right now.

    People might want a device with all the input methods and the most versatile multitasking, but I don’t think this is reasonably doable in a way that’s as polished as devices built with a main input method and UI purpose-built for that input method. In the past I might have said that Apple are the only people that could do this correctly, and only by investing a significant amount of resources, but after the iPadOS 26 situation… oof.
