Thought it was a good opportunity to potentionally learn something new. Seems to have worked out.

Thanks, that was an interesting read! I always felt IPFS wasn't ready yet, but the value it tries to provide of being a file system, I've found no real alternative to. Very good to read that iroh is willing to look beyond the IPFS spec to provide its values with better performance. I hope it works out.

Ever heard of IPFS? I really hope that will take off some time.

I'm using this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gamescope-session-steam-git Looking at the source here: https://github.com/ChimeraOS/gamescope-session-steam/blob/main/usr/bin/steamos-session-select

You can see it looks for a script to shutdown steam or defaults to normal shutdown. I pointed os-session-select to a script that restarts my sddm service, before shutting down steam, so it returns me into the default session. It was a bit finicky though and I hacked a systemd service into it to ensure the script didn't get killed.

Hope this helps. Might clean it up some time and put it in a repository/on the aur.

EDIT: I was inspired by ChimeraOS; it uses that os-session-select for its main project as well to return to the gnome desktop.

Isn't there any other place on sky island that you can teleport to?

I thought this was a pretty good in-depth explanation of the infinite case and the finite case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTsRGQj6VT4

Can't really blame him for not knowing an alternative without providing an alternative.

I think the argument is pretty solid as an alternative to writing PKGBUILDs yourself. Sure it doesn't hold up for people unfamiliar, but Arch is build on the idea of getting yourself familiar with it.

I have some days off until new years. Will try to put it up and update this comment. Interested to hear what improvements people come up with!

As an alternative approach you can look into ansible. As opposed to making a system backup you can define your system configuration as code that you can redeploy with it.

Ik ben het eens met je analyse, toch zie ik de risico's en uitwerkingen wat anders.

Jammer dat ik nu geen mailservice kan selfhosten. Maar ik ben wel blij dat ik mijn mail bij protonmail kan afnemen en nog steeds gmail addressen kan bereiken. Die situatie in socialmedia land is nu nog erger. Je kiest voor 1 bedrijf en that's it. Als dat in de toekomst meer als het huidige email wordt; een aantal grote bedrijven die de grootste instanties draaien, misschien wat kleinere bedrijven die kleinere instanties draaien en je persoonlijke instantie daar mee verbinden is niet haalbaar. Lijkt mij de situatie niet zoals mijn ideaalbeeld, maar wel beter dan nu, dan kan je tenminste een beetje kiezen.

Dat dat dan een slechte invloed zou hebben op de instanties zoals deze, snap ik niet zo goed. Iedereen die hier zit, neem ik van aan dat ze met reden van reddit af zijn gestapt (of nooit op hebben gezeten). Die willen niet dat dit in handen is van een aantal grote bedrijven en ik heb er vertrouwen in dat we koppig genoeg zijn niet allemaal naar threads toe te gaan zodra ze instanties gaan weren en/of features maken die niet in de standaard zitten. Er kan ons niks worden opgelegd.
