There are two types, by map and token to conform to different usecases.

Ahh, ok… I’m seeing the docs.

ShareType: type of share

    token: token-based share (do not require user authentication)
    map: map-based share (requires user authentication)

Ahh, ok. So whether you need authentication or not.

There are also two different storage types, csv and files.

And the docs for that…

CSV

One CSV file containing one row per sharing config, separated by ; and containing header with columns from above.

If given, properties are stored in JSON format in CSV.
Files

File-based configuration store is using encoded PathOrToken as filename for each config. File contains the data stored as "dict" in binary Python "pickle" format (same is also used for item cache files).

So if you want plaintext vs binary storage.

you have to edit your config file with the ‘[sharing]’ section.

Would you mind sharing your config, pretty please. 🙏

Yeah, I’m aware of Headscale. I even think it’s cool that Tailscale isn’t trying to kill them: https://tailscale.com/opensource#encouraging-headscale

Tailscale is Canadian

Ah, nice. I actually didn’t realize that. They are also open source friendly https://tailscale.com/opensource I don’t hate Tailscale, btw. They seem nice.

But, I like Netbird lets you self-host the server components. And, an important feature for me, is that Netbird doesn’t require me to create an account with Big Tech to use the service. Right now I created a dummy account with GitHub just to use Tailscale, Netbird just allows me to create a username and password. E-Z P-Z. No extra hoops to jump through.

After switching to Netbird, I’ll be able to get completely off of GitHub.

Nope. I’m trying to move further away from US proprietary tech, not towards it. I’m currently using Tailscale, but I’m looking at moving to Netbird because it’s open source and European.

Sounds right != Right

Packaged with a delightful new UI/UX, it’s hardware and software engineered as a true alternative to Big Tech.

Is this just Android with a custom skin? Or a real alternative like SailfishOS from Jolla?

Also, this reminded me of the n-gate website: http://n-gate.com/software/

Wow, great video. I liked the overview of how HTTPS/TLS works.

Yeah, I hear the Spanish say: “Siete coma cinco”

for why using it “responsibly” is super hard, even if you’re an expert. We’re hardwired to take mental shortcuts, so we might not even realize we’re using heuristics or falling for cognitive biases when fact checking the AI.

1. Dental Support Organizations (DSOs) (orgs that dentists use to help them with the business side of things) treat dentists more like sales people and push more expensive and unnecessary procedures.

2. Dental insurance doesn’t work like health insurance, it’s more like a discount coupon for the dentist and the limits for coverage are really low.

but used responsibly

That’s like the most incredibly hard part of all of this. Everything is aligned so that you don’t use it responsibly. And it’s really hard to guard against this.

Just a few days ago, I was pairing with a coworker and he was using Claude to do a bunch of stuff. He didn’t check any of it. I thought he was gonna check stuff before pushing stuff… And nope! I said, “Wait, shouldn’t we review the changes to make sure they’re correct?” And he said, “Nah, it’s probably fine. I trust it. Plus, even if it’s wrong, we’ll just blame the AI and we can just fix it later.”

…

Yes, checking the work would have negated all of the “time saved” and he was being a lazy fuck.

People who don’t like coding or engineering use this and they are not interested in using this responsibly.

I currently use the official audiobookshelf app. It’s really slow and buggy for me. Every time I open it, it says it’s disconnected from the server. Then I have to click a button for it to reconnect.

What makes you say that?

Just ordered a Sony Xperia with SailfishOS! I hope you’re right! 🤞

(FYI just in case: SailfishOS is NOT an Android fork! I didn’t realize this until recently.)

I know it’s easy to dunk on Electron… but have any of yall written any desktop apps with native frameworks? I wrote a small GTK4+Vala app once and I discovered desktop frameworks are very different than developing webapps. Customizing the look, feel, interaction of elements, and general mechanics, seems like a toooon of effort. (It kinda seems like you’re not supposed to customize it.) Web development is waaaaaaaay more friendly towards customization. Which as a company, you want your app to look like your company, not some generic OS bundled app.

And then you have to repeat all that effort for crappleOS and Wangblows?.. And then you gotta hope that it’s even possible to do the thing you want in different OSes. Sheesh.

I mean, I’d be happy if everything was native apps, but I also understand why people don’t tend to choose that route.

What’s the point of YouTube premium again? uBlock Origin works on laptops, tablets, and phones. Smart Tube works on TVs.

Is there some live sports thing that it’s bundled with or something?

Tailscale is just more reliable and mature in my experience

What sort of issues have you run into? I’m currently on Tailscale, but was considering Netbird because it’s open source. (Also, I hate that Tailscale requires me to create an account with Big Tech to login.)

They seem pretty close in terms of features, at least in the simple cases.

sovereignty != isolation
Codeberg != isolation

There’s not a readily-available European alternative to Github, and no, Codeberg is not one, because the value of GH is not just hosting code, it’s being a well-known place to find code.

Codeberg is absolutely an alternative hosting place that is ready to go today. Medium and large players like Zig, Guix, Librewolf, Forgejo, and Comaps are on Codeberg. These aren’t random people with projects that no one uses. These are large projects with lots of collaborators that ship software to lots of people. (Even Alpine Linux seems to be experimenting with Codeberg.)

Codeberg has a similar UI/UX to GitHub. It’s got CI too, either traditional CI with Woodpecker, or you can migrate your GitHub Actions to Forgejo Actions (which are similar).

Codeberg is big and popular enough that it shows up in web search results, search for “zig source code” and you’ll get a result for Codeberg. It’s not like people only search for code in the GitHub search bar.
