#SelfHosting is great and all, but at some point it just doesn't make sense financially.

I'm self-hosting #VaultWarden, but because I need my credentials available to me no matter where I am, and I need high-availability, hosting VaultWarden at home on a #docker container on my #Synology while being the cheaper option isn't necessarily the smart option.

The small VPS I'm hosting VaultWarden on with #Hetzner is running me about $5.00 a month.

I can purchase a year subscription to #BitWarden for $10/ year.

You do the math.

Same for #LinkWarden. I was thinking about standing up and self-hosting a LinkWarden instance to replace #Pocket. Again, a small VPS from Hetzner would run me about $5.00/ month.

A subscription to LinkWarden would run me $3.00 a month.

You do the math.

So, up until recently, all Linux desktops used the X Server, also called X.org or X11. It's a venerable piece of software, that predates even the first release of the Linux kernel, by almost a decade, and X11 is virtually unmaintained now.

And so that's why Wayland was started in 2008. In terms of advantages, it eliminates screen tearing, it lets you have multiple monitors with different refresh rates and different scaling factors, and it's more secure.

secjuice.com/wayland-vs-xorg/

The Wayland protocol still lacks network transparency: Wayland doesn't support running a program on a computer, and displaying it on another. Some stuff also isn't supported yet, on Wayland OR on X11, for example HDR.

Support for fractional scaling has just recently been added, and isn't fully supported by all major Linux desktops and toolkits just yet. Wayland also doesn't support global shortcuts by default, but it's fixed through a desktop portal.

And we need to look at desktop environments and window managers. GNOME is probably the one with the more robust Wayland support available right now: not the most feature complete, but the most robust.

On KDE, Wayland support is a bit less solid, in my experience, Plasma 6 should be THE release with good Wayland support.

As per other desktop environments: Cinnamon is just beginning, MATE hasn't started, but XFCE has published a roadmap of the things that already work, and the things that need to be worked on. Pantheon, the desktop for elementary OS, has an experiment wayland session that is, for now, not really usable, and Deepin doesn't seem to have any plans yet.

You can use Sway, which is basically i3 but made for Wayland, with support for i3 config files, you have hyprland, based on the wlroots implementation, that seems to be the fastest moving tiling window manager for Wayland.

If you use open source drivers, like the mesa drivers for Intel and AMD GPUs, or the Nouveau driver for nvidia, you're all good. These support everything you need, and work well with Wayland, just as well as on X.Org. But then, there are the proprietary nvidia drivers.

And to be fair, they do work with Wayland. it took a long while, but it works, I've been using them on hybrid graphics laptops on GNOME and KDE, and on a desktop running Fedora for a long while, and it works. But it's also not the best experience.

And since we're talking about GPUs, let's talk about gaming. Gaming on Wayland basically relies on X.org, with something called XWayland: it's and X11 server running inside of Wayland.

There is a small performance impact depending on the game. It's not huge, but it's there, so if you're struggling to keep a smooth 60FPS, Xorg will be better. This is notably true with Nvidia drivers, which don't handle XWayland very well.

For now, Wayland enforces Vsync everywhere, unless your monitor has adaptive sync, so stuff like Gsync of freesync. If you don't have that, then Vsync is, for now, mandatory.

And finally, we have application support. All the latest Kirigami apps for KDE, or QT 5 and Qt 6 apps, or Libadwaita apps will handle Wayland well, and all the portals they need to interact well with other apps, screen sharing, and the like. Electron apps using a recent version of electron will also support Wayland, but a lot of electron apps still use an old version that doesn't support it properly.

And older apps using GTK 2, or older versions of Qt also won't support Wayland. Some web browsers also don't run natively with Wayland.

"Naturally, the common people don't want war ... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country."

🚨 FOLLOW THE MONEY! 🚨 A bombshell investigation by Peter Schweizer’s Government Accountability Institute exposes how the radical “No Kings” protests, set for June 14, 2025, are bankrolled by over $114.8 MILLION in dark money from Arabella Advisors since 2019! 😡 This shady left-wing network, funded by globalist billionaires like Soros and Gates, is pulling the strings behind groups like The Indivisible Project to orchestrate chaos and defy President Trump’s America First agenda.
Even worse? Some of these groups are siphoning YOUR taxpayer dollars—$50M+ in grants to anti-ICE radicals in LA alone! This isn’t grassroots—it’s a calculated attack on our values, timed to disrupt Trump’s patriotic military parade. 🇺🇸 Republicans, it’s time to stand up to this elitist, anti-American scheme!

It was the 8th of june, I was sitting in math class(reken les) I was six.
Doortje, my much older sister, had braided my hair in a fishtail braid that morning.
In class the end of that braid was firmly being chewed on by my molars.
I did not look up when the class door opened, paid no mind to the murmurs.
I only looked up when my name was called out. "Noortje, the principal needs to see you in his office"
My first response was to pull the braid from my teeth, and proclaim "but it wasn't me"

A chronophilia is a distinct type of sexual attraction pattern that varies as a function of the ages of preferred sexual targets.

Chronophilic categories, primary or exclusive sexual attraction to:

* Nepiophilia: toddlers and infants - under 5
* Pedophilia: pre-pubertal children, typically age 5 - 10
* Hebephilia: children 11–14 years, just at or past puberty
* Ephebophilia: older minors just under or at age of consent
* Teleiophilia: traditional reproductive age
* Mesophilia: middle age
* Gerontophilia: older age

People in the Nepiophilia to Hebephilia categories are typically prosecuted when they act on their attraction and should seek professional help.

Those in the Ephebophilia category may escape prosecution, but if they are significantly older than their targets, they are definitely predators who should be kept away from young people, e.g. not given jobs in professions where they are in contact with young people. They should be screened out systematically.

Note that any obsessive interest in a specific age category may be problematic.

This article responds specifically to the question if Hebephilia is a mental disorder or if it should be considered as normal.

A very good answer!

askthepsych.com/atp/2011/12/15…

"Hebephilia is a recently proposed diagnostic categorization in which people show a sexual preference for individuals in the early years of puberty, generally between the ages of 11 and 14. In contrast, pedophilia is a sexual preference for prepubescent children. You are correct in that hebephilia is not currently a mental disorder. However, the committee working on the newest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (otherwise known as the DSM-V) has proposed that it become one. This set off a storm of controversy from evolutionary and forensic psychologists who disagree that these urges are pathological.

>>> Regardless of whether such urges are normal, the reasons it is not OK to have sex with an 11- to 14-year-old individual have to do with the imbalance of power and the high possibility of abuse. <<<

Kids that age are at a very vulnerable time in their life, when they are trying to deal with becoming sexual beings and figuring out how to transition into adulthood. They are very susceptible to influence, particularly from someone who is older and good at persuasion. Thus, any sexual encounter with a person vastly different in age is likely to be one-sided and almost always for the benefit of the older person. In other words, it would not be fair and the young person frequently gets hurt. This is why so many states have statutory rape laws.

Children are our very best natural resource but they are fragile and deserve our protection. Having sexual urges toward young people may be ‘normal’ but acting on them is not. Every healthy sexual encounter should involve the consent of all parties involved and this means that the person giving consent must be fully able to do so. Young people are still developing their cognitive capabilities so they often make poor decisions. This is why they are not legally allowed to give consent."


Is Hebephilia Normal?

It seems that hebephilia is not uncommon. Indeed, some say it makes evolutionary sense in that women's highest levels of fertility are before the age of 20.

They may not see it yet, but to me this looks like the techbros are surrendering to the other forces behind Trump.
As already pointed out, they will now be subject to orders from the US forces hierarchy, so ultimately from whoever is running the White House.
The products of those companies where these guys have majority control will be used to further the aims of the US government the same way as happens for similar organisations in China and Russia.

Just as Putin's invasion of Ukraine was a direct consequence of the international community ignoring his annexing of half of Georgia, so Israel's attacks on Iran are a direct consequence of the international community ignoring the genocide in Gaza, the illegal occupation of the West Bank, the incursions in Syria and the attacks in Lebanon.

As long as they continue to face no consequences for their actions they will continue to widen their attacks.

The Great CO2 Scare Falls Apart Under Real Data

Heres Freeman Dyson, one of the smartest people ever to have lived, on climate change alarmism: The climate-studies people who work with models always tend to overestimate their models. They come to believe models are real and forget they are only models. Most of the evolution of life occurred on a planet substantially warmer than it is now and substantially richer in carbon dioxide. ... The amount of carbon dioxide CO2 is 0.0407. ... It is four one-hundredths of one percent: 407 parts per million This concentration is close to the minimum level to sustain robust plant growth. Three times the present level is ideal and is the level maintained in commercial greenhouses.
