Don’t they already have the names Leap and Tumbleweed? Changing the name to Leap would make sense since it’s the name of the “official LTS” version. At this point it sounds like “openSUSE” is the name of the project and not the distro. But I haven’t been following them closely, so perhaps I’m wrong.
The shape of that bottle is creepier than the text.
Here is the link to the original website (an NGO that monitors blocked websites in Turkey): https://ifade.org.tr/engelliweb/distrowatch-erisime-engelledi/
And here is the Google translation of the text on that page:
The IP address of the DistroWatch platform, which provides news, reviews, rankings and general information about Linux distributions, was blocked by the National Cyber Incident Response Center (USOM) on the grounds of “IP hosting/spreading malware”.
I think you are highlighting an important point that are missed by other commenters emphasizing the developer. I prefer GPL over MIT license. But this is a possible fallback if Redis decides to change its licensing (like several others did).
I think these kind of products have strategic significance for MS for their Azure offering. They are probably preparing to offer this there (in addition to and as an alternative to Redis). So, it makes sense for Microsoft to release this with an OSS license (otherwise no one will adopt it).
I mainly develop in C#, and I agree that having to write so much boiler plate for type safety is really boring. C# is not perfect either (it doesn’t have discriminated unions, etc.) but at least it gives type safety out of the box.
However, in general, I think enums are widely misused. I see a lot of cases where they should have been classes with a factory, but ended up being enums with a lot of static functions and switch statements.
Who is this particular developer
As far as I understand from the discussions about the topic, Maxim Dounin was one of the few core developers of nginx. Looks like Wikipedia has already been updated.
I suppose you are right. If AWS doesn’t support STS versions, these will be only applicable to Azure (I know nothing about GCP). It probably makes sense for AWS to stick to LTS versions (I would do the same). But isn’t that a choice made by AWS (rather than Microsoft).
I know you said “self hosted”, but if you are interested in an Android app, Google Play Books does most of what you want, I think. You can upload your books, and read them on any device (with offline capabilities). But this is the Self Hosted community, so I will show myself out.
I don’t follow it very closely, but as far as I know, they are the only one implementing the open protocol they designed (which doesn’t interoperate with ActivityPub). However, there seems to be some efforts for creating a bridge: https://www.docs.bsky.app/blog/feature-bridgyfed
As you said, there are some recognizable faces and that may impact the adoption. But not being compatible with ActivityPub is a real bummer.
When I joined some years ago, it automatically created a private, invite-only room named “Echo Chamber” with me being the single member. If it didn’t happen to you automatically, you can create one yourself.
Sounds like a good plan, thanks!
I would be interested in this, but I’m on this side of the pond. So good luck! Would be good if you made the recordings available afterwards.
I think single account ActivityPub implementations are addressing a weakness of the Fediverse: one’s identity (handle, username) is tied to an instance they have no control over. If that instance shuts down users lose everything. With a single account instance, you take that control back. And since it doesn’t need to scale the architecture can be much simpler and can be deployed to much cheaper infrastructure.
The demo was not straightforward, though. And I didn’t quite get how a user can follow Mastodon users, for example.
Possibly. My point is: despite having a common subset Pkl and JSON schema doesn’t seem to be solving the same problems. But, I’m just learning about it, so I may just be wrong.
I just learned about Pkl, so take this with a grain of salt. JSON Schema and Pkl seem to have some overlap. But JSON schema is not specifically designed for handling configuration and Pkl supports other formats like YAML.
This looks really interesting. Getting type safety and editor support to configuration may change quite a bit of how things are done. I don’t know if it will gain traction, but if it does, it may really help bringing some long awaited structure to all those YAML files. There appears to be examples specifically for Kubernetes (https://github.com/apple/pkl-k8s-examples).
I wasn’t aware of that. I guess it was thought to be a mod driven community. Anyway… Cool question. I hope we will see some creative solutions here.

I have the same problem on mobile Firefox on Android. I’m using the default frontend as well. This was not happening a week ago (or maybe 10 days). Started recently.
