Aren't you just describing traditional RPC calls? Many tools for this: DBus on Linux, Microsoft RCP on Windows, and more that I'm not aware of. If you've only got a basic IPC system (say, Unix domain sockets), then you could

Ah, gotcha. There are hosted Nextcloud solutions out there if you can't run your own instance. I've never used them and can't speak to how non-technical the overall process is (I'd guess it varies by provider). Nextcloud

Civil disobedience isn't about avoiding the consequences of that disobedience; it's about doing the right thing even though it's illegal and requires punishment. If your concept of justice can account for civil disobedience

If ES is the sole copyright holder, they can license it to whomever they wish under whatever license they wish. IANAL, but it seems perfectly coherent to me that they can say "If you build the software this way, we release it to you un

What do you need in a calendar service that you can't find elsewhere? I use the Calendar app with NextCloud[0] for a CalDAV server + calendar web interface. It's fully-featured as far as I can tell. I use its CalDAV functionality

IIRC, The GPL incompatibility prohibits distribution of linked binaries. Since the CDDL-licensed ZFS kernel modules have to be linked against the kernel, those compiled modules can't be distributed. Hence, Canonical (or anyone else try

What net benefits would you see that having? If I'm allowed to assume that you wouldn't use TLS because of PKI management concerns, I have a hard time seeing how using WireGuard in the large wouldn't have the same problems--y

So aside from the additional cost, is there any catch in using it instead of palm oil or tallow, provided you balance it out with a moisturizer like olive oil?

Because you can reproduce that binary bit-for-bit to confirm its corresponding source code. That's the point of a reproducible build. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproducible_builds

As greysonp points out, yes; Signal has had reproducible builds since March 2016. So we can prove that those published binaries do not have backdoors insofar as we can prove that the corresponding source code does not have backdoors.
