It’s good. Not anywhere near as good as Mario Kart 8, but still good on its own. It’s better than Garfield Kart.

You might also want to try Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart. It’s another open source free kart racer. Both are very fun.

There’s no configuration needed for QuickDAV either, and it works on anything with a browser. You could transfer files to your Nintendo DS. ;)

I wasn’t strawmanning, I was asking a question.

My personal Mastodon instance is doing great. It runs on my old gaming desktop in my living room. Haven’t had any downtime today, so I can say with 100% confidence that my living room has better 24 hour uptime than Amazon right now. Who wants to buy some compute time from my living room?

KDEConnect is great, but I don’t think it can share a folder. If you want to transfer a folder from, say, a MacBook to a Linux PC, I think QuickDAV would be better suited than KDEConnect. Also, QuickDAV works on Win/Mac/Lin.

Lol what? Are you against Flatpak? Are you a snap fan?

Syncthing (as the name implies) is meant to synchronize folders across machines. QuickDAV is meant to transfer files/folders from one machine to another. They definitely both have there uses, and there uses might overlap in a lot of cases, but they also have there own niches. Like, I wouldn’t use Syncthing to transfer a photo to my desktop once, and I wouldn’t use QuickDAV to keep my photos directory synchronized across several machines.

Basically the advantage is that it’s ridiculously easy to set up. You just install the app and open it. The downside is that it’s ad-hoc. It’s not meant to be a long running server like smb.

That’s fairly normal. The base gets upgraded first, then all the extensions.

Because left wing extremism is anti-capitalist.

I’m amazed that they haven’t backtracked this yet. They’re just cool losing all those customers.

For most of those services, you’re looking at a few days to assemble and set up a server. For email, plan to spend the next month learning and troubleshooting.

You can run all of that on basically any computer. If you have an old desktop, that would work great.

Email often isn’t possible to self host because many ISPs block outbound connections on port 25. But, you can host it on some VPS providers, like DigitalOcean. The IP they give you will almost certainly have a terrible reputation and result in a lot of your mail going into people’s spam folders. So, you’ll have to spend some time contacting IP blacklist providers.

Another option is to host the inbound SMTP servers, and handle outbound through a relay server. I’m not gonna recommend any, because I’m not too familiar with them.

I know a fair bit about running email services, because I created and run https://port87.com/, a fairly new email service. I had to learn a lot about email to build it.

Ubuntu Studio is great, but absolutely not for beginners. Ubuntu Studio isn’t the same thing as Ubuntu, too. They change a lot from the base Ubuntu.

Not for beginners.

Yeah, I switched to Ubuntu in 2008, and it was great for years, but lately it’s just been so awful.

Three correct answers:

• Mint
• Fedora
• Pop

And a few incorrect answers:

• Ubuntu
• Arch
• Ubuntu again
• Really, don’t go with Ubuntu

Something that uses the Matter protocol might be what you’re looking for. My understanding is that they can be disconnected from the internet (only able to communicate with your Matter controller over your local network) and still work.

Maybe something like this:

With a controller like this:

I just started using it last week. I really like it.

Isn’t every niche community full of gatekeepers before it becomes mainstream?

If you are, you’re usually limited to progressive web apps. Not a bad thing, just something to be aware of. That’s the reason I had to give up when I tried. Not having a decent navigation software was really hard.
