Ahh. Bone Apple Tea moment.

This reaks of chatgpt. All the way down to the milktoast ending.

It’s ok. I would go with “user hostile” in this case.

Fair. But in that case best use a more appropriate word.

I get not being a fan but no toggle switch. But in this case it literally isn’t “enshittification”. Is it anti choice? Yes. Is it enshittification? No. Enshittification does not just mean “thing I don’t like”.

Here is a quote that describes what enshittification is:

Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a “two sided market”, where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.

I know “Enshittification” is the Lemmy word of the year but you can’t just call everything you don’t like enshittification.

This clearly isn’t it.

I agree that’s why most of my systems run btrfs. (Maybe soon bcachefs).

But XFS is in the same tier of “datedness” as EXT4, just with more performance. Some apps like ScyllaDB actually require XFS performance crazily enough.

Btrfs or XFS.

No idea why people are into EXT4. XFS is more performant by far.

As a workaround yes. Just do your NFS exports over WireGuard. WireGuard acts as the authentication and encryption.

SSHFS will be incredibly slow. I would avoid it personally.

NFS will be performant and is easy to set up. This being said by default NFS is without any security.

The problem is that Kerberos is a huge pain to set up. I would avoid this unless you really need Kerberos.

If you want security NFS + WireGuard will serve you well.

Also I would consider Samba/CIFS if it is for local convenient fine access. It’s not super secure but for me it’s a good trade off.

You can fix this by manually placing the /boot partition outside of luks when you do your install. I did it and now my opensuse system boots in a reasonable time. Annoying to do but 100% worth it.

It because zypper is incredibly slow. They’ve been slowly working on the features needed to make it faster but they haven’t come together yet. I would guess early 2025.

It has a slightly better privacy policy compared to google chrome while fully supporting progressive web apps on Linux. Edge is also very much so more efficient in terms of system resource utilization. It also has high quality native built in translation which I need. All of this means I use Edge as my PWA browser.

Chromium lacks native translation support. Firefox PWA support is not good. Edge was the least bad option for me. 🤷‍♀️
