Ngl the original comment read as pretty sarcastic. Also, OP transparently isn’t the creator, so it’s a bit weird to address them directly when referring to the comic.

Personally I picked up on that, but I still didn’t really understand what’s going on until I read OP’s explanation. I generally thought telepathy was limited to your immediate area I guess, and expected to see characters from the first three panels in the others.

13·4 days agoWell, I guess I should’ve said I voted as progressive as possible within the confines of our election system. Doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as well haha.
Ranked choice elections are, like, right there. Frustrating that we can’t have them.
I’ve also tried Gnome very briefly before going back to KDE. I never went deep enough to try extensions, as I’d also agree that most of that stuff should be built in to the DE, and I was annoyed by it missing these features that KDE just had out of the box. Hearing that extensions exist kinda reminds me of what I’ve heard about MacOS, where features that have existed on Windows for over a decade and Linux for years still require third party applications.

1·6 days agoYou can still go to your mom’s house and get your data, unlike if you’re renting a VM.
I’m also completely not arguing that renting a VM isn’t self hosting, I’m certain I’ve said nothing of the sort, I’m just arguing that it’s worse than owning your hardware and therefor data.

2·6 days agoThat’s not really the point I’m trying to make, I’m not sure where this disconnect is coming from.
The question you should be asking is whether or not I can more easily access my home than a data center, to which the answer would be yes.
If the entire world disappeared aside from the plot of land I live on, well, I’d have larger issues, but I would still be able to access my data, until the generator ran out of gas of course.
To answer the question you did ask that, again, is not relevant to the point I’m trying to make, is yes. I work from home, and live in America where we don’t have third places, so I do most often access my data from home. Additionally, most of the services I self host are home automation and data backup based. Sure, I wouldn’t be able to access Immich or Home Assistant while away from home, which would be annoying, but the end of the world? Not really. A lot of people intentionally don’t make their HA/Immich instances visible to the internet.

2·6 days agoI’m not sure what the disconnect is here. In both scenarios I’m reliant on an ISP. In the scenario where it’s on a data center, if my internet goes down or the data center goes down, I am shit out of luck. I am not capable of accessing my data. If it’s hosted at my house, I still have the ability to go home and access my stuff. One seems much better than the other to me. It’s the difference between being able to access your stuff and not.
There are definitely positives to both, but having physical access to my own hardware that contains my own data is a huge positive to me.
