There never was. It was only a sea of different instant messenger protocols, and each had their pros and cons. So much that you had meta messengers, doing multiple protocols. Trillian for example. You had to get multiple accounts and softwares to get everyone.

I personally use DietPI on my headless servers, which is a derivative of debian, and PikaOS on my personal computer, which is the bazzite equivalent of debian. It’s great really :). At this stage, i’ve been so used to debian derivatives that I simply don’t want to use time to learn another distro’s specific ways. I’ve tried mandrake and rpm years ago, but debian simply was the golden standard I used at school and on PI.

It’s kinda hard to accept they are debuting paid work on something that only works on pre-2022 devices… I do understand the recycling idea behind this, but next time I change my phone and look up for a linux compatible phone, I already know I won’t be buying a pre-2022 device :(…

Hi,

I’ve been on seafile for years, I see no reason for the docker install to scare you.

I’ve been meaning to migrate to an european alternative (seafile is essentially chinese), but none seem to have the notion of zero-trust.

I’ve checked both opencloud and sync-in. In both cases, if you are the admin, you can access every one’s files. For now at least. This means a hacker accessing your server could also get the files uncrypted.

This is a no-go for me, I want my friends to be able to trust my instance so they can use it. Seafile has that : you can create an encrypted collection which asks for a second password when you open it.

Surely awesome, but sync is one-side only. This is a nogo for my usecases.

Seafile has fuse for accessing it as a folder.

Let’s say you are a webdeveloper trying to package your js app into a executable.

Tauri makes it so that it embeds your js into a rust base, and if you need to interact with the os, you have a Tauri JS API which calls predefined rust functions embedded in the executable.

You can literally never write rust code while using tauri.

But they givr you the choice, since rust is faster than compiled js, you also can create rust functions which you then call from your js code.

In Tauri, the rust backend is the glue between web/js and OS functions. Yet you don’t need to do any rust code, it’s delivered ready.

Tauri is the way to go ; so that every app doesn’t each embed another web browser that makes for 90% of the file size.
