Agreed. Amazon is a sales company. Google is a data company. Open Home Foundation is a better company.

But is a flake the same as a scale? Bad explanation.

Best part:

The unauthorized party gained access to “information from a limited number of users who had contacted Discord through our Customer Support and/or Trust & Safety teams”

For a long time I’ve been considering carrying “parking is hard” cards for windshields.

And so have countless closed-source developers/companies/applications. A vulnerability existing does not change the fact that FOSS projects should be funded more.

What is the show?

My understanding is the stability risks come from active development additions vs “fixes” during that stage of the development cycle.

https://linuxiac.com/torvalds-expresses-regret-over-merging-bcachefs-into-kernel/

Simply put, only small bug fixes are allowed after the post-merge phase to integrate changes into the current kernel cycle. However, Overstreet’s PR included more than just fixes; it continued to develop new features, which always carry risks. That’s why Torvalds was unhappy with it. As a result, the changes were rejected.

…

Currently, the file system is being actively developed. Although it shows great potential with impressive features and strong data reliability, it’s not yet stable enough to be adopted by major Linux distributions as a proven and reliable solution.

YMMV, but my production systems will stick with ZFS since it’s kernel release updates are clear when there are “upgrades” vs “updates”, as you do those manually when it alerts you.

“Stable” in this context doesnt mean “your PC will definately crash and you will lose data!”, bcachefs is well past that. It means that the development is too active to be considered production ready since the code changes are too large to confirm the scary bit won’t happen (as much as can be).

Even JC threw in the towel on bcachefs-tools due to this: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Debian-Orphans-Bcachefs-Tools

In this situation it works well, IMO. For some more context, ZFS was created by Sun (FOSS). Oacle bought them and built Oracle ZFS out of it. OpenZFS forked at that point from Sun code, and that’s what we use in Linux/etc. The Oracle variant supplies support to the FOSS variant. So Oracle has no control over OpenZFS.

This is flawed thinking. There is no “them” with a huge salary. The people making decisions are salaried or invested employees, and their livelihood depends on the stock regardless. There isn’t “one guy” that this hits, like it would with a salary, there’s thousands of investors which must be appeased.

Also, it’s likely many of those canceling were people who didn’t use the service as much as power users, which means they’re losing the cheapest to maintain customers (industry insight, no research to back this up, to be clear).

If we had boycotts and cancelations even a quarter this big across other media giants, our media would be a far better place.

Fair enough on “major”. Edited that. But it has stability issues that aren’t handled well enough for RCs, so it’s not a hit piece to state that fact. Those stability issues may come from it being new, but it’s still an issue. Saying it’s because they want to “get rid of Kent” is just as much of a hit piece, too.

Everyone always says “Companies should fund FOSS instead of spending money on big corpos!”, yet then this.

It’s FOSS. It’s auditable. Funding is a good thing.

The FedID is just a way to try out federated services internally. Ghost can federate posts to other federated services, they have plenty of info on their site if you’re interested.

We work in it. Created FedID and use it for identity management.

We also use Ghost for our blog.

Weechat.

Or if you’re feeling nastalgic, BitchX.

Or if you want to be more modern, Matrix with the mautrix-signal bridge and Element as a client. This is what I do so I can combine all my chat apps into one.

No, comment is not true. You can use ZFS or BTFS, both of which are open source. ZFS just happens to be historically funded by Oracle, which is a good thing.

The reason is bcachefs has major stability problems (that don’t allow it to meet kernel release schedules). https://hackaday.com/2025/06/10/the-ongoing-bcachefs-filesystem-stability-controversy/

Wireguard and PiHole. Set the Wireguard routing to the local network IPs of your homelab, and you get the same setup.

I run a Signal Bridge to a Matrix server, then Element with ntfy notifications. I think you can do the same with Molly and ntfy.

Others have mentioned many reasons, and while they do still exist in specialty groceries, they’ve died off because they are just bad.

Anyone spending good money on good coffee knows the in-store grinders will taste like all the crap-flavored beans the past 12 people put through them.

Even with unflavored grinds your supposed to grind some and toss it just to clear the old stuff out.

I would suggest getting your own grinder. Beans going through that thing probably have 31 flavors in them by the time they’re ground.

So many people’s bodies and wallets would benefit from 6 weeks of only drinking water.

The cravings will go away, drinks you used to love will suddenly be too sweet. You will simply feel better and wonder why you were so obsessed to begin with. Then you’ll buy 18 different kinds of tea to drink just 2 regularly. No idea why the last step happens, but it does.
