Yeah psi is a pretty common unit and trivial to swap between if SI is needed.

Arguments like above often show a lack of real world experience.

Any suggestions on alternatives?

Slack is ok but proprietary.

Element is a new and eg fractal doesn’t have threading.

Yeah but hyprland, unlike x, is actually pleasant to use.

Not an excuse for poor behavior nonetheless, merely an observation.

Yeah, most pizzerias sell many sizes. Both answers are valid.

In fact, i would argue making an assumption, in this case about size, without declaring it, is in fact less reasonable.

Social Obligation.

Oddlama/gentoo-install is great for this.

IP could potentially be accessible through tool use?

Not sure, but not impossible.

Yeah, it’s funny because I’ve been doing the same thing with my wife on some personal projects like family wiki and event calendar and things where we wanted a web application that could be used on both desktop and mobile.

Here’s what I found so far, Avoiding JavaScript entirely by using a templating language and a HTTP server like Axum Produces fairly sub-par results if you are hoping for interactivity ( Frequent page reloads mean that you can’t have big sodebars etc.)

Qt/qml are OK, but no mobile.

Leptos is what I was looking at, but in the end TypeScript with solid-js was simpler, more performant and more features (although I absolutely hope to revisit leptos down the line).

What you get with solid is signals/slots for state, server side functions to avoid the need for an api, routing for template management, easy tailwind integration and of course any js you may want (eg full calendar io).

I wouldn’t recommend egui if your focus was web.

Oh, and finally, the other issue with Leptos over Solid is that it’s a bit more work to get into Electron from what I understand. Tauri Does not support Linux, so that’s not really an option for a cross-platform.

Well you will write 0 js in leptos, however js is used to initialize the WASM.

What is your goal and the reason against JS and maybe I could provide more recommendations.

If it’s a personal choice against Js, leptos will be the best compromise. One could use Axum with minijinja but if you’re not careful about routes etc. performance will be shit.

Id just use leptos. There will be a little bit of js to load the WASM but that would be it.

If it’s a performance concern, i think solid-js had better performance than both egui and leptos anyway plus you get some niceties like codemirror (vim bindings), marked.js etc.

Egui is really nice dx wise but you will be restricted to those widgets, immediate mode may not scale as well as signals/{slots, effects}.

If it’s a general dislike of JavaScript, you may want to look at QML.

I personally found QML to have really poor documentation around a lot of the widgets. Leptos is good, but I found SolidJS to have more of what I needed and the performance was good enough that I went without for my own personal stuff. But I also had different needs. I really needed something that could do charts, data tables, and your general GUI stuff as well.

Steam deck is quite good with touch I find.

Must be nice in that small section of western Europe. For the rest of us things are not so blissful.

Tail scale already has a bunch of limitations for unpaid users but it’s only an extra step to set up wireguard in a container.

Honestly, I’ve had little trouble. The Gentoo Wiki and Void Handbook have a lot of overlap with OpenRC and musl, respectively.

While the documentation could be improved, the overall experience has been quite good and very stable.

I’m not trying to be unhelpful. My advice would be to steer into the terminal. Bite the bullet. I use arch and alpine for my servers but Fedora would be fine (but SELinux can be a pain with bund mounts)

Probably just go with Fedora with btrfs for snaps. It has lots of support and is a common choice for servers

My biggest complaint about lemmy is the lack of content and censorship.

The only meaningful lemmy is dbz0.

If i want to read about cybersec, darknet, drugs etc. Reddit has far more content and far more discussion with less censorship – which is insane because they just about create everything now.

Wireguard (or tailscale) would be best here.

Steam Deck is a step in the right direction but a bit too big

Well that’s great, airvpn has worked well for me in my torrent docker container and I recommend it for that purpose.

That’s a fair point. But it also depends on the application as well.

To use the example from earlier, good luck getting Emacs 25 to run on Windows 11.

…but maybe another perspective is that it works really well with Windows because they prioritise backwards compatibility at the expense of development time and they can do that because they’re a large company and as a large company the community gets a very little say in the way that their operating system works.

Linux is your operating system. It’s community driven and community developed and one of the expenses of that is that users are going to need a higher degree of technical capacity. The trade-off is that you get more privacy, and more say.

However, I believe that it’s achievable for most users.

I mean this sincerely, how can I help? I’m not an expert but i did teach this to university students and I’m a big advocate of privacy. What would you like to see?
