This is amazing news. Stepping away from the corrupt, war mongering, imperialist regime that is Moscow can only be a good thing for the European community and human dignity everywhere.

Let’s hope they pull threw.

Edit: Sad news. Let’s hope a progressive coalition can be formed.

I think it is the same across all of Germany. I think it might be similar for most of Northern Europe if I had to guess.

That seems really intense to me. Even if you mean shower when you say bath I can’t imagine doing it twice a day. In the summer I normally shower once every two days. In the winter once every 3 days. I am located in northern Germany so it might be a culture difference.

True. But brave is run by a crypto advertising company. Their business model is advertising and crypto tokens. I trust crypto bros less than I trust Microsoft.

With the same amount of tabs with the same sites Edge uses fewer resources. I think Microsoft did some fine tuning or something. It’s not just just me that sees this either.

This is a 2 year old link but it shows the difference. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/chrome-firefox-edge-ram-comparison

It has a slightly better privacy policy compared to google chrome while fully supporting progressive web apps on Linux. Edge is also very much so more efficient in terms of system resource utilization. It also has high quality native built in translation which I need. All of this means I use Edge as my PWA browser.

Chromium lacks native translation support. Firefox PWA support is not good. Edge was the least bad option for me. 🤷‍♀️

So excited. The multi tiered storage feature is incredibly useful. Add in some cheap SMR as your lowest tier and you got a very cheap very big pool.

I have mixed feeling here.

On one hand avif is a libre format.

On the other hand:

1. Avif has MAJOR limitations for a long term use (i.e. 65.538x 65.538 max resolution among other things)
2. JpegXL has REVERSIBLE in place conversion to and from jpeg. You can convert jpegs into jpegXLs and gain the size benefits. You can undo the change and convert jpegXLs back into original jpegs all losslessly.
3. JpegXL has progressive loading which supports people on slower internet speeds. AVIF does not.

Like I want to like avif but it’s hard for it to compete here I think. It’s like cheering for Theora over x265 just because it’s libre. Ideologically yes it makes sense to do so but good god is x265 better than Theora. (Not saying Theora is a representative open video codec though) Just that JpegXL is that much better.

Probably listing bots that scrape eBay to decide what price to set. It can lead to some pretty interesting results.

As someone who was on Reddit when it was young I am going to disagree with you here. Young Reddit was absolutely full of political ideology. It was a Ron Paul, legalize weed, atheist, soft anti feminist, cypher punk, USA style libertarian pool of ideology.

All places have an ideology. We are all constantly swimming in ideology. It’s just when an ideology matches you (either you being molded by the ideology or you joining a place with a matching ideology) you don’t notice it. A fish only has to think about the medium it is in after it is pulled out of the water.

I absolutely adore Peter F Hamilton’s Void books in his Commonwealth saga. The earlier books in the commonwealth saga feature a weaker humanity but in the void series humanity is at the top of the food chain.

I disagree. SystemD was and is leagues better than what came before. Now days you just write a simple unit file and your application will startup automatically with systemd managing the start, restarts and stops. It even handles the logs so you can just write out to std and not worry about log rotation and the like.

Before systemD all applications had to write stupid distro specific SysVInit scripts that handled all of that. People who don’t like SystemD can go back to their slow non parallelized boot times and 500 line distro specific launch scripts but I prefer speedy boot times with 20 line unit files.

SystemD is a major improvement over what came before.

To be fair it could be limited for the file server wise. That or an openvpn issue. All I can say is that I like it. 🤷‍♀

If you choose good endpoint servers yes you can. But it's possible to get lower speeds if you choose a super congested endpoint. I can download files at 400mbps normally.

I like AirVPN. They have both features.

Hey. I’m not an expert in SnapRAID but all of these specialized systems used one of the following under the hood

1. Btrfs
2. ZFS
3. MDADM
4. Some combination of 1,2, and 3.
5. Some proprietary system (like drobo)

As long as the system is widely used, send you alerts when things go wrong, and uses 1-4 it should be ok. Just don’t go proprietary and make sure you get alerts when a drive fails and you should be ok.

I haven’t done anything but skim over the slides but if I had to guess I imagine it might be like using bit torrent behind CGNAT on IPv4. (a.k.a. You can use it but you can’t really contribute anything back to the community.)

I would bet that it would work fine with IPv6 on T-mobile. :)

I self host everything except maps and email. Maps because it’s just not there and email because even if you set it up perfectly with DKIM and everything your IP can still land on a blacklist. You will spend more time doing blacklist appeals then it’s worth.

+1 For Gitea. Works really well for me. It recently added GitHub style actors so you can use GitHub style CI/CD too!

Me too. I am really looking forward to the tiered storage system. NVME backed by HDDs backed by SMR HDDs. You write to the the NVME drives and in the background bcachefs slowly moves it to the slower mediums.
