What is your favourite open source software that you discovered in the past year, that you can no longer live without?

    • Generate document from templates and database

  • What is "Make"? Hard to Google name.

    Have you considered open sourcing you self built solution?

  • I seems a long time ago, I build the same thing as you. For templating I used https://github.com/christopher-ramirez/secretary and as "database" I used Google sheets. Still use it at work.

    It never was really user friendly so I am looking to replace it. That is also the main issue with your self build solution? Or are there other issues as well?

    I didn't know about Documint. Looks interesting, will check it out, thanks 👍

    • Do you say Linux or GNU/Linux?

  • Systemd/Linux

    Just to trigger certain people.

    • Using rsnapshot on a nextcloud borg backup?

    Jump
    1. So, you do want to run rsnapshot on the Borg repository (the destination to which is backed up)? Both rsnapshot and Borg keep a history, so you are keeping a history of when the Borg repository had which history. This will not be particularly efficient nor "as intended".
    2. be aware that Borg does incremental backups on file chunks, while rsnapshot works on whole files. So if a large file changes, rsnapshot will duplicate the storage used.
    3. a Borg repository is more like a database of chunks (similar to git), while rsnapshot recreates the original backup data.

    According to https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/internals/data-structures.html the repository storage consists of 500mb files. So using rsnapshot on those, will not be work as you want it to.

    • Do you drink tea and if so why?

    Jump

  • Oolong does have caffeine 🤔

    • Docker vs Podman, which one to choose for a beginner and why ?

    Jump

  • It depends on the use case. The most common security issue I have seen with docker is on Linux desktop systems: docker deamon runs as root and user wants to use it to test all kinds of containers. So they make the docker socket accessible to the user, to lazy to use "sudo docker" every time... Having access to the docker socket means having the same permissions as the one running the daemon: root . Your browser effectively now has root permissions. At this point you could just login as root to your desktop.

    • How does healthcare work in your country?

    Jump

  • Access to specialists mostly need a referral from your family doctor.

    That hasn’t been the case in many years now, you can just make an appointment without a referral.

    Well, for most specialist. There are still a few cases were it is required, e.g. radiologist.

    Also with public insurance you might have to wait longer for your appointment with a specialist - but if you have a referral from your family doctor, they can add a urgency note (Dringlichkeitsvermerk) on it and you will get an appointment faster. With that you can also call the health service hotline (116117) and they have to find an appointment for you.
