Oh yeah don’t get me wrong I love nicotine+ too! I figured I’d link to slskd since this is the selfhosted community after all 🙃

I’m not a fan of YouTube’s audio compression algorithm (optimized for saving google’s bandwidth but sounds awful on higher fidelity audio setups). If quality is a concern, I can’t recommend slskd enough

I use wiki.js in the linuxserver.io flavor. I have 3 URLs for every service I run: public, LAN, and tailscale url. My "homepage" is a big markdown table with links to all the services. It's not pretty by any means, but it's very functional

you can also delete them recursively with

find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -print -delete

Indeed. Western portrayals of Jesus are likely historically inaccurate, it’s more probable that he was dark skinned

The pi zero is good for small projects that don’t require a lot of compute, however I personally haven’t found it to be useful in a self-hosted context. Unless you really don’t care about performance, the low specs make it unsuitable for hosting most of the services you listed above

I can’t speak specifically to apple’s testing process, but as someone who has worked in software QA, it’s simply not possible to catch all the bugs. Obviously no one wants bugs, so I’ve witnessed past employers try everything from adding more manpower to attempting engineering culture changes to adding public beta programs. None of these meaningfully reduced production bugs. If you or anyone else knows a better way, I’m listening :)

This. Also lawyers are expensive, and hiring a team of experienced lawyers is even more so. A bean counter probably crunched the numbers and found it would be more cost effective to settle now than to fight it out/ run the risk of losing (in which case they may also have to pay for the plantiff’s legal fees)

I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. The unfortunate reality is that any sufficiently large software project with a lot of engineers touching the code is going to have bugs. At least someone at Apple is trying to fix these as opposed to ignoring/pretending they don’t exist

Likely tacit acknowledgment that the US is becoming more authoritarian/run by a mob boss. For example, if you don’t pay the local mafia, you can expect them to show up and do bad things to you. However if you pay a bribe and kiss the ring, you may receive protection instead

“Hacking” can be as easy as running some script you found online to prowl for vulnerable systems. This doesn’t take a lot of creativity. A lot of people/businesses/governments don’t practice good security hygiene (e.g. apply security patches as soon as they’re available) and end up getting popped by skiddies. I’d be more impressed if these Russian “hackers” could consistently repel attacks, but a simple google search suggests that they are struggling to defend their own turf
