onlinepersona,

wat? got a screenshot or a link to the result?

onlinepersona,

No matter what I choose, I have to scroll literally to at least half or the end of the page to see Tails. Congrats on finding it in the list, I guess?

Ultimately, what are you trying to achieve (and why); what is the problem even?

There have been complaints in posts about people asking for advice on which disto to use, that there are too many such posts.

What is your solution to this problem?

Provide users the tools to possibly answer the question themselves before creating a post.

And where does adding Distrochooser to the sidebar come into plan?

DistroChooser is a self-help tool for that purpose.

Have you perhaps thought of other possible solutions and why they might be inferior to the suggested one?

  • keep answering posts --> more complaints, possibly silent quitting of community
  • write bot --> I ain’t got the time, maybe somebody has, dunno what the bot would do
  • find alternative website --> I ain’t got the time

Thanks for the thoughtful response, but I disagree with a lot of things you said. I could quote everything I disagree with and write a paragraph, however it would be a meaningless endeavor as a moderator looking at the post would probably decide against adding distrochooser to the sidebar - regardless of my opinions.

Cheers

P.S thanks for teaching me a new thing: XY problem :)

onlinepersona,

Check whatismyipaddress.com to see your IP address once you’re connected to either network, but with a high likelihood, it’s almost certainly different IPs. In that case, Dynamic DNS is probably best.

But if you’re using your neighbor’s wifi, I doubt there’s a way for you to host stuff unless you have access to their routers, can open ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS), and forward them to your server. It’s best to use hardware you control (including the router).

Favorite? No. Most acceptable: NixOS.

The worst documentation of a linux distro I have ever encountered, but the declarative model has convinced me I don’t want something else. Now I’m just waiting for other distros to pop up that are declarative as well. (Guix? No thanks, I’m not a fan of endless parentheses)

Year of the linux handheld then?

No. It’s provided without warranty nor guarantee that it’ll work or even leave your system intact. That’s the core of most opensource licenses. Dev owes nobody nothing.

onlinepersona,

If that’s what you get from a paid product, why would you assume it’s better for a free product?
