Or ASS in German 😁

When I used LaTeX many years ago, I loved this. Or was practically impossible for to overlook that I had opened a draft version that I didn’t want to send.

The ones I’ve handled and bought are more robust than most other glassware. They can break if dropped on hard floor, but that’s normal for anything out of glass.

Just install a panic button. The microphone is not reasonable since there are way less intrusive options available.

No, that’s ridiculous.

This Regulation does not apply to the processing of personal data: […] © by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity;

As is stated, the call is processed locally in the user’s device. If that holds true, there is no recording and no third party processing going on. Your point does not make sense.

That’s a real world issue. AIs training on each other’s output and devolving because of it. There will be a point when vendors infringing on user content and training their AIs with it will leave them worse off.

It’s easy to train a model to do exactly what you want and have the seeming “personality” that you want. It’s just incredibly expensive. You need to vet and filter everything that you use to train the model. That’s a lot of person hours, days, years. The only reason the models act the way they do is because of the data that went in to train them. If you try and fit the model after the fact, it will always be imperfect and more or less easy to break out of those restrictions.

Also, revolt self hosting is broken. The web call functionality (WebRTC) is being rewritten but that effort is stale and out of the box it simply does not work. There is no real documentation about this either. It just won’t work and you need to invest a lot of effort to figure out why. The moment self hosting properly works, I’ll give it another shot. Not being able to connect without a fat client is a show stopper for me. There’s no way I can get enough traction for my groups if the barrier to switch is higher than a sheet of paper.

When self hosting all the shortcomings you mentioned are perfectly acceptable for me.

If you use much of the software that is included in the support package, then the price seems reasonable. No way you could get the same price if you went to each provider individually. If all you use is bare bones openshift, then you’re right.

Don’t shoot the messenger. The regulations are pretty draconic. I have to ensure the training for that every year.

Seemingly one of the contributors has visited a disputed region and logged into GitHub from there. By law (export controls) Microsoft must not provide service to that place. So some automatism flagged the account and also the organic maps repo. So far so normal. But either Microsoft dragged it’s feet in communicating and resolving the issue or the organic maps team was not doing their part in the process. Doesn’t matter, the outcome is still worth it.

The ship is painted red and a few containers are bolted to it, rather than use provided.

That’s what containers are for. Fucking up the container won’t fuck up the host. That was the best decision in self hosting I’ve done. Even that one virtual machine feels weird and uncomfortably legacy now but it needs to interact with hardware in a certain way that just won’t fully work with docker.

Python doesn’t have to. Windows supports both out of the box. Has been for many, many years

No. Because the python version of the host and the target server must loosely match up. Otherwise you get some cryptic error messages in some unexpected modules. Red Hat’s solution: just manage RHEL 9 targets from RHEL9 hosts and RHEL8 from RHEL8 hosts. There is no official way to align python versions across that major.

IBM owns Red Hat.

My (self-hosted) cloud storage is larger than the disk drive on my laptop. On demand sync is important to me. I really, really hope Linux will catch up to Windows in that regard.

Currently we have an experimental VFS feature on all platforms that is using some suffix appended to files when they are virtual empty placeholders. https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/3668

Yeah, no thanks. It’s a very hacky work-around and breaks the moment you use an application that tries to access the files directly.
