  • whoa! thanks a lot! that’s my mistake.

    thanks for the awesome info, I should’ve at least check the repo of the individual projects first (only did so with Forgejo).

    I totally agree with you, and do think that it is possible to have positive and harmless CLAs. though I do think we should always take a step back and not assume that a project’s CLA will be in favor of our copyright, with the case being more the exception than the norm, unfortunately.

    in the end, I will always be happy that a copyright holder wants to be able to reliably make money with copyleft software, but I can never really face a CLA without at least initial hostility anymore. you may say I have prejudice against CLAs lol












  • Torch Browser is not open source, and it still is based on chromium. It’s the worst browser combination possible.

    Falkon is pretty cool! I prefer using qutebrowser if it’s gonna use QtWebEngine anyway. It is slower and less featureful than the main browsers, though. If you don’t mind it, I’d say go for it!

    I didn’t know about Dot Browser, but it looks… unfinished? It’s based on Firefox, so that’s cool. But it seems someone would be better off just using something like LibreWolf (or Tor if you actually want some privacy).





  • - yes*

    - yes, that is completely your choice

    - yes, though you could take a look at “wake on LAN”

    - yes, as much as your server can handle

    - I don’t think so

    * it’s totally possible setting up a server on Windows (depending on which version of Windows), but I must recommend using Linux, as that would be way easier to setup and maintain, and probably will be faster overall

    that seems a lot like my situation (though I’m just a student :P). awesome to see someone trying to self-host FOSS. best of luck to you!
