  • Nowadays I deploy most self hosted services as containers. If something is not available as such, I install it inside container and make a Dockerfile of it. Snap is useful too here (cf nextcloud). For some rust/go projects I just run the binary on the host directly as a systemd service. The corresponding update service pulls the release, builds it locally and restarts the service appropriately.

    Which means it totally depends on the project structure, scale and security administration which in turn depend on user. Somebody else might want something totally different but I would suggest go for container.

  • It's not self-hostable (yet). Would that be important (why?)...

    If I use it as a note taking + sharing with few friends. If I publish the notes on the open internet or use it as a pastebin with nice formatting then no.

    Though in the former case client side encryption also works otherwise.

    Also I generally prefer open and self hostable software cause vendor lockin, central service going down, enshittification etc. If the software is open users can contribute and fix bugs too which makes the service more featureful and robust.

  • Not an IT, a friend onced told me their phone was getting hot and draining battery fast from last night. Naturally I asked if they installed any new apps or changed settings couple of times and the answer was clear no.

    I checked the apps list and saw an obviously sus app (might be miner). I asked from when they had that app and they said 'why? I installed it last night'.

    That was the kind of app you get clicking 'horny milves in your area' ads.

  • You say KDE hangs, but what component hangs actually? It it plasmashell (other apps work but panel is dead?)? Kwin (windows move/respond to input?)? KDE apps?

    I would suggest you to install a distro with kde (fedora KDE edition or open SUSE, not neon) if you're not confident with administration. Use something like Kinoite for accidental breakage protection, or if you want to keep /home as is, install fedora 42 inplace (the new installer).

    Not only my experience but also that of many KDE devs say that fedora KDE is probably the best mainline KDE experience (ignoring niche distros or customized KDE).

    Also, don't use xorg session. Always log in to default wayland session unless you have incompatible usecase (in that case you know what you're doing).

  • That act is under Supreme Court of India. If it is found really unconstitutional it will be revoked.

    The fact you said that government is using every tooling to express authority means that they're limited (hence time limited too) by Constitution. Constitution doesn't prevent inevitable fascism, it can delay it or makes it harder to operate (like cost for media propaganda is still a cost).

    PS: If you're interested in politics of India (recent as well as old) and want to talk about, do dm me. I want to learn.

  • Of course constitution isn't final, for example if 70% of people one day say they reject the constitution.

    Still while constitution is in force and separation of power exists, even government lead by hindutwa fundamentalists with popular support in a country where most if not almost all think religion is super important, can't dare go against constitution and change it to their liking (it needs 2/3 majority and still most fundamental aspects are immutable). Compare this to the mess the idiot US president is making. To do something similar the Indian government needs to make clever acts, to find loopholes and to abuse detective agencies.

    The most dangerous thing going against the constitutional nature is UAPA which is a sedition act and is very much abused.
