I am not saying this as a moderator: you're person of obnoxious answers. Probably far too intelligent to even consider that you're actually interacting with other human beings that may not want to engage or sacrifice their time with your rants. But I don't ban based on personality.

Anyway, I don't have to answer any of your questions. Typing comes too fast on your keyboard. Try stepping away, read, click the links (like redishiel CVE), take a deep breath, live more calmly.

I will post a reply to you reply on Redishell. So that you can check again what happened there. You went too fast and hit your own wall.

Here's your reply to Redishell. You answered "To anyone confused: [...]" and went on and on talking about backdoors.

Of course not. In the same sense that you were not romanticizing the war between empires. The Incas for example were able to dominate a lot of land. The greed was there. To understand we are humans, we need to admit even the parts that put us to shame. Only from recognizing shortcomings we can build something better. And it's not like humans are always greedy, survival of the strongest, yada yada. That's an oversimplification that some build over this fact (it's their agenda.), that we are not perfect. But it's not an essentialism, we can be better.

Anyway, sorry I ended up ranting off topic. Glad to share.

self-hosting implies making the service available for yourself with tunnels or port forwards. Yet, I've been running searxng container and accessing it via localhost without issues. I could write a guide and share my docker compose file..

the only loss here is my time as a moderator :P

I am not banning anyone, you were quite civil in this "fight" ^1^

Do keep in mind that all this has a lot of "editor wars" vibes. But the conflict goes beyond Debian (e.g. including Rust in Linux kernel), and actual harmful discussions between Rust and C/C++ people is REAL, damaging our communities, and very much driven by generations/ network-effect. And this is just sad. It's not a technical issue, and overcoming it seems nearly impossible at the moment.

^1^ I'd call it discussion, but it seems to me that 'whoever loves Digit' was ranting more on their own behalf... as per their own words:

Awareness should be raised for this stuff, because people are sadly not as concerned as they should be about the state of cybersecurity right now. It's particularly an issue in Linux / FOSS circles where there seems to be more of a false sense of security these days.

I agree with these words, but not all you said (specifically, backdoors to me are a smaller concern in the software industry nowadays in comparison to the Redishell provided that you were unable to fully understand). Anyway, I don't see reason to remove any of the most downvoted comments you have. But I will take the opportunity here to raise a warning to you. OR, let's make it a personal advice: arguing on the internet is not worth the emotional toll. As with any advice, you can either take it or leave it. Good luck!

There's also badger (animal and verb), not sure how to interpret further tho... other than the wordplay, then it's up to viewer to actively construct some sense imho

I like the interactive mode. The repo's readme lists other differences. And, you can have a drop-in replacement, simply add a bash script file named fzf in $PATH, write /usr/bin/sk "$@" and it works for any downstream tools that require fzf (e.g. a vim plugin)

I have always preached of jumping on to Python as early as you think you need it. Less papercuts, and transportable across servers (bash and tooling versions are a problem when jumping 5+ years).

Check "uv". Builds on top, is coming good.

Kate editor was the only way I had to send text to REPL when learning Python not so long ago. That's to say that I love it too! Simple, accesible, and as everything in KDE: highly customizable!

There were times during my programming career that I just started the whole work from scratch, rethinking from the top (where I want to get) to bottom (how I have been doing it). I am sorry that I cant help you anymore, but please give this a try. Do not remove what you have, just ignore it for a moment (a day?) and start over. You might hit another wall, or no. Who knows? Good luck!

I would prefer you ask for a specific community to be created with its own rules and moderators. Thanks! I wouldn't mix everything in here.
