CERN is doing exactly this: https://home.cern/news/news/computing/three-year-malt-project-comes-close

Governments in Europe from local to state are doing it as well: https://eu-os.eu/ https://gitlab.opencode.de/sh

Many companies already allow Macs to used at work. The same process applies to Linux.

Keep asking, keep telling colleagues about it. Be kind. Change is a process.

I use Proton Authenticator on an iPhone without an account and I am satisfied

Giving money to open source projects on which you rely on for your business is good practice. While I’ve just now heard about DHH and his political views, I think it is important that the overall mission is to make Linux (and open source software) a mainstream alternative to proprietary solutions. As long as this is not hurting the mission I am personally fine with some unusual partnerships. The alternative is a world where Windows and macOS rule the world.

Additionally open source has always been about stepping up, so contributing or throwing money the other way are always an option. I personally donate to many projects I use. I mostly feel that my political views align with them.

I own a Framework laptop and had a dead pixel. I replaced it (within warranty) in about 15min. I could as well buy a new higher resolution display for that same laptop if I wanted to. This is new and is an improvement over my Thinkpad, where I could “only” upgrade/replace RAM, SSD and the battery.

Initially I used systemd to manage my services on my Raspberry Pi 5 (keep it simple), but I moved quickly to Docker and Docker compose (which I already was comfortable with) and it is so much better.

Why not?

We did that for a Plotly dashboard in Python. We copied the database into a read-only in-memory sqlite database (it is quite small, only a couple thousand entries) to prevent any damages outside the dashboard. The data only gets updated every couple of days. You could skip this step. Then with sqlite you can restrict what action a query can use (SELECT, JSON, etc.) and you can restrict the instructions per query to prevent denial of service. It works like a charm and is much simpler than providing a REST API. Also the user might already know SQL.

I am actually planning something similar for a task management web app I am building at the moment (additionally to providing a REST API). No need to learn another query language like in Jira.

Well thats what backups are for, but may be start with a mirror or with unimportant stuff for at least a year ;) Also proprietary service can delete your data, too. This happens especially when you are using the generous free tier and they decide to make more money. See Evernote, Gitlab, Heroku…
