SRV records won’t help with browser traffic.

It’s bad form to just say “set this variable to this value” without any explanation about what that variable does and why that value helped.

Your configuration may not work or may be detrimental for others.

You high?

This is one of the old-time original arguments in the OSS community.

The crux of the matter is that the GNU licenses require that modifications be released back to the community. Other “more permissible” licenses like MIT do not.

So if you want to make a commercial version of X, and X is under a GPL, then any changes you make need to be released under the GPL. The idea being “I shared this code with the community with the intent that you can use it for free and modify it as you like, but you need to share back what you do.” Also called “Share and share alike”.

This defends against “embrace, extend, extinguish” tactics that companies like Microsoft has loved to do. They can’t take your code, modify it for their own purposes and re-sell it possibly making a more popular version that is now proprietary.

memory safety isn’t impossible in C

In practice it is.

C is also faster than JavaScript, uses less memory, I wouldn’t consider a scripting language to even be a choice for writing a backend server if I can use a compiled language instead.

Neat.

No. Go away. That’s not “starting a social media app” now is it?

Besides, even the Linux team has started the shift away from C.

Edit: besides - “Linux does it” doesn’t mean it’s beyond criticism. Linux has had numerous security vulnerabilities due to C.

If you’re not tied to it there are other options that with great on Linux. Mulvad for one.

C is a “memory unsafe” language. There are whole categories of security vulnerabilities that simply aren’t possible in memory-safe languages that C allows. There is no good reason to continue using C anymore for new projects if you care at all about security.

PyCharm is a Java application. And it runs perfectly on Linux.

Bonkers that anyone would start a social media app in C in 2025. “No JavaScript” but you’re just one buffer overflow from arbitrary code execution.

“VPN”? Which?

No what?

You can phrase it however you like?

Age doesn’t matter. XML is a super-set of XHTML’s spec.

That is - all XHTML is valid XML but not all XML is valid XHTML.

Note I’m saying XHTML not HTML since the later need not be valid XML.

technically HTML is not XML… XHTML is, but HTML can be invalid XML.

Free tier is a baiting strategy. Period.

You might be interested in “rsnapshot” which uses rsync and manages daily, monthly, etc. snapshots.

Oh does it? I didn’t realize that. I’ve just switched over to rsync completely.

scp is deprecated.
