In a good internet, you shouldn’t have to pay someone else for your own identity.

It’s (un)amusing how the Fediverse of all things still depends on a system of identity that relies on forcing trust on a third party that can take that identity from you at any point and without recourse (within that system). Or, you know, you can “forget to drink your internet identity verification can for the commercial god”, which is just as (un)funny.

Oh dear!

Persistence of “mental state” mostly. By setting up a compose, you have a written down notion of things like volumes, environment variables and other elements stored somewhere for the behaviour of the container, that can not be ignored or defaulted if you don’t wish it, for when you need to undo and redo a container and default behaviours are important.

While sure, those elements can be set in a loooong ${engine} run... command, it’s easy to forget to set up something important or copy and paste an accidental endline. A compose file (plus a sample envfile, if you so wish) helps keep the way to set up variables and state under control. Made much easier now that we have both docker-compose run and podman-compose run.

Ubiquitousness is not an aspect of the codec, let alone a technical one. It’s yet another failure of capitalism.

Fam, the modern alternative to SSHFS is literally SSHFS.

All that said, if your use case is mostly downloading and uploading files but not moving them between remotes, then overlaying webdav on whatever you feel comfy on (and that’s already what eg.: Nexctloud does, IIRC) should serve well.

We’re here to help! We just need someone to implement doomscroll / infiniscroll into Lemmy, lol.

Uuuuuh that’s not the way to fight an addiction, right? Who is this person working for, exactly?

My kneejerk reaction coming from the '90s is that if I wanted the same branding for everything, I’d just use Apple or Gnome. At the same time, constructing brand image on top of a third-party base that is in development and can change over time can be difficult, or just “not worth the $RESOURCE”. So I’m currently in the position that something like “universal Mastodon view with brand accents” would be the most fitting thing for the Fediverse.

Colonialism?
