Sftp. At work we are switching to api and it sucks in comparison. Even it works its great but when it doesn't its harder to fix than sftp.

Alsa may be a bit awkward but the other stuff is just more chaos on top of it, it's not an alternative.

I try wayland once a year or so, maybe one year I will manage more than a few hours or days.

lvm/luks/ext4 is still better than btrfs which still hasn't gotten round to addressing encryption, big hopes for bcachefs.

One more: Network shares vs. clowd storage fx M365 and Google drive. Often the ekstra functionality isn't needed and just adds complexity. Plus the bandwidth is rarely the same.

Those are protocols, not software.

Yeah you're right. But I thought it would make sense, instead of specific RSS clients.
