You won't find many historical examples of fascists being booted out by the people. The only successful revolutions are piloted by a small elite with further interests that may not coincide with the people.

I'm thinking of building a long term living app (say an app that I will use the next 30 years). It has to be a web app so I was thinking of going pure JS. With that requirements in mind would you recommend ember.js?

Meh. I don't get the love Lua gets on HN. At least version 5.1, I didn't try the others. No first class support for OOP, you got to use tables instead. No "continue" keyword to go to the next iteration of a loop. So you

I get your point, but I'm more on the side of "let those enthusiasts get shocked and see in a few years if this electricity thing is really worth it". I eschew complexity wherever practical. There's so much complexity in

IMHO for personal workstations immutable distros are a solution in search of a problem. In 3 years using Fedora (which hasn't a reputation for being a stable distro) I once had a bad kernel that prevented my Framework laptop from booti

No computers connected to the internet in Swedish hospitals? If there are, a bridge could be made willingly or not. OFC it's more secure than everything on the internet.

Thanks, I thought it was some kind of home (house) automation. Do you have an example of what it's useful for? Why would I "manage" my home directory?

I "love" these projects that won't even describe what they do on their front page or even in their manual. Of course everybody has 30 minutes to spare to try to understand what it is.
