  • Taskkill /f is reasonably close to sudo kill -9

    Hitting the X in Windows and hitting the X in Linux both cause the application to start a save yourself routine. From the OS standpoint they’re not far off.

    The problem is we have a lot of confirmation bias in windows because every time we want to close an application that’s not working, that save yourself call has to sit around for a hellaciously long time out followed by a telemetry call so that Microsoft can track that it happened.

    It’s pretty rare that Linux apps don’t just close.



  • I’d vote for anytype or obsidian

    Anytype has a learning curve, But it has built-in encryption and IPFS syncing provided by the company. The templating system is really slick and the relational aspect is pretty solid.

    Obsidian + syncthing fork is a really solid contender. It’s much easier to work with out of the box but the features are a little more generic.

    Neither of these are really self-hosted, so much as they are contained in their own ecosystem. You get some measure of higher availability that you have to really work for if you’re really self-hosting a product.






  • Slightly different here, when Reddit put the writing on the wall, The people with the lowest tolerance for bullshit left. The signal to noise ratio over there went way up. As the quality dropped off, we saw more waves of people coming this way.

    Basically, the people that are left over there are kind of willingly swimming in filth. It’s a filtering event really. Even including the bots, tankies, whatever this is, it’s far less toxic over here on a thread to thread community to community basis.

    Brave is my backup for Firefox. I simply never signed up for bat and removed the icon from the bar.

    I’m sure they’re collecting and will sell my information to anybody that will pay, But that information will be less reaching than Microsoft or Google, their fingerprinting against other sites is very good so it’s probably limiting my exposure more Even though they’re also a broker. How I keep them around for the ad blocking alone, they actually have a team of paid developers to keep YouTube and browser ads at bay, they’re also doing the ad blocking in the core application instead of the plugins so it’s not something that can be easily bypassed.
