My interests are mainly music, instruments, tech, Linux and self hosting.
I once bought these chocolates that had a outer coating making them look like decorative rocks.
My mum loves to have little rocks as decoration so I bought a pack and decided to surprise her with it. Out of nowhere in front of her I decided to bite through one and she was in shock looking at me as she slowly realised they were edible. They looked extremely convincing.
They were pretty damn hard tho. Nothing too bad however.
It’s an interesting topic me and my friends have discussed for a long time. On one hand, putting ease of use and user experience behind a paywall is terrible but on the other developers deserve compensation. Not everyone can donate and others doesn’t even figure that it’s an option.
Pangolin I think does it very kindly by having a button on the lower left of the interface that you can click on and then also dismiss to hide that button for a week which I find a good common ground. But at the same time I also think it’s hard to justify hate towards projects that lock things behind a paywall.
Of course if you lock security features like OIDC/LDAP like some do or self-hosting to “Local Infrastructure” it’s pure BS. I think there’s a lot of nuance to what should and shouldn’t be done in the matter but as long as it’s still open source it’s good in my book. Like self hosting Bitwarden gives you access to the paid features or you can pay them the small fee to not self host it and get some extra QoL features.
People do in the end have to juggle software maintenance, community maintenance, organizing issues, planning features and implementations, keeping wiki and docs up to date, etc. On top of, I’m assuming in most cases, having to do a regular job too. I know for a fact I wouldn’t be able to do that at all so if they can get some motivation through either code contribution or monetarily it would potentially ease up things.
You just made me unlock a new fear
Exactly, just run your magical new code in a minifier and problem solved! It’ll be just as speedy as the real deal!
Having run minor projects using PocketBase before and also seen what PocketBase itself can do and SQLite configured correctly in general, It’s great. I’ve gotten to be a big fan of it by the years and gladly opt for it over the bigger ones.
If this project got SQLite support it would be a great replacement for my own setup which requires about 3 or 4 accounts. Currently using a proprietary solution and been looking into moving to Authentik but it’s a bit too heavy resource wise for my current servers.
No, fuck you
