Yes, plex, and so many others. I’m sure it would be forked. I already keep a fork in case I want to continue using it if upstream ever goes to shit, but then I’d be stuck with a static version because I’m not going to update it and improve upon it.

Be wary of FUTO. There have been reports of them claiming to be sponsors of FOSS projects when all they did was make 1 small donation, unbeknownst to the FOSS project itself. Plus they have their own licenses which are FOSS-ish.
FYI: I use and love Immich. But I’m concerned that it will be ruined by FUTO someday.


Regarding FUTO voice input, a friend of mine made a transcription app. I know that there are a million transcription tools right now, and many of them are probably good. But I know this guy and his dedication to open source, and this app is very featureful and intuitive. And fast.
As Scribe on your phone, It downloads a small model one time and then all transcription and all data stays on your phone.
It can be a standalone app or a keyboard voice input, and it can accept microphone input or any other audio on your device that you feed into it, or both. It even includes diarisation.

Excellent summary of the situation. Thank you.
Socialism is the idea that the means of production are owned by everybody (by the society). It sounds like you’re saying you can’t afford to pay for something (in this kind-of-capitalist society) so you “like to think of it” as socialism, which you define as an exchange of goods and services rather than money, but you didn’t describe exchanging anything - you just describe taking something without paying for it.
I disagree with your definition of socialism, and with the idea that socialism (as I defined it) is good.
not having money to pay for all the services I use so I like to think of it as a socialist type system
I don’t understand this. Not being able to afford products/services doesn’t mean that the sellers of those products/services are socialist. Maybe I don’t understand what you mean by “system”.


Is a UYC architecture viable at scale, or is the industry bound by too much engineering inertia…
I think KYC has nothing to do with engineering “inertia”, and everything to do with government “inertia”. And using the “inertia” metaphor: governments don’t get smaller, they only grow (like cancer), and the more “mass” they have, the harder it is to change their "inertia’.


MTLS is great protection, but the use case must support it. For example, if you want your app to support registration for new accounts or if you have a lot of people you want to have access, that might make mTLS unwieldy to manage.
I host apps behind Traefik reverse proxy, using the d.rymcg.tech framework. It make it easy to protect your apps behind HTTP basic auth, Oauth2, or mTLS(or any combination).


AGPL-3. 0. Meh.


The Hated One has a video explaining his take on what Mullvad has done, and he gives 2 good alternatives to Mullvad. He also has other videos comparing VPN services in terms of privacy. He’s very thorough.


I have aPBS server and my friend in a different geographic region has one. I backup to mine and he backs up to his. Mine syncs my backups to a data so l store in his, and his summer backups to a data store in mine. These are our offsite backups.
To be clear, we’re syncing our proxmox VM backups. But Proxmox Backup Server also has a client app, so I also back up my workstation to my PBS and it also syncs to the remote PBS.
No. FUTO’s restrictive temporary license is not a standard open-source license. It limits use to review, compilation, and non-commercial distribution, and prohibits commercial use.
