  • Ffs make your own burger. It takes a few minutes. Toast a sesam roll. Fry some meat with salt and pepper with cheese on top. Cut an onion, tomato and add some mayonnaise.

    That's all. It's more tasty than those horrible McD burgers. And at least you know what you put inside.

  • It's so easy to work around an audit. Companies lie. Auditors are being bribed. Everything is based on trust.

  • (Oops... wrong thread, I'll leave it here)

    I've been using FreeBSD for 20 years on my desktop. I've been also mainly using it because I was literally afraid of using Linux filesystems for data storage, when I learned how ZFS works.

    Now with bcachefs the situation is different. It's nice to see an advanced filesystem on Linux, even it's still beta. I migrated my desktop to Linux, but will keep FreeBSD on my servers for a while, because it's less hassle for me.

    Actually I stopped liking the FreeBSD community. They made a lot of drama in the past years and I stopped being active there. I haven't reported bugs anymore and fixed them privately or reported directly to upstream. I have many nice things running on servers, but I'm thinking about moving to Debian entirely.

  • I still don't really know what you mean. How a document looks like depends on you. I've got very many fonts available, much more than average Microsoft Office user has. And it's easier to use LibreOffice from my point of view, because it emphasizes structure. It looks much cleaner by default than MS Word. The only thing MS Word is better in is typesetting. LibreOffice simply fails to place letters properly.

    Documents produced by office suites are not really good for publications. They are very annoying to handle, no matter if it's MS Office or Libre. The cheapest option to have something professional is LaTeX.

  • I don't understand why ODT is complicated. It's a zipfile with inspectible data. The standard document is also not as vendor-specific as MS OOXML which is thousands of pages that everybody gave up upon.

  • It's because it's not the native format. How does MS Office show/edit ODT documents? Does it work better?

  • "We don't care about service and quality. Oh, and we make it be your problem."

  • If the car is safe (checked every year), you know the rules (that are in the law) and behave safely (keep the rules), not much can happen.

    Also 300 km/h is quite rare. 200 km/h is not.

    It's basically the same as with nuclear plants. They weren't safe to run, because the rods were old and they couldn't prove that storages are safe. And people voted for parties that support clean energy, especially doesn't produce harmful waste.

  • There is some nuclear waste that Germany wasn't able to bury for over 30 years, because not a single site is safe. Maybe earthquakes and tsunamis aren't the only problems.

  • You forgot the latest one at Fukushima just 13 years ago. The costs of this catastrophe are estimated twice as high (~0.5T USD).

  • The problem is the waste. Germany has radioactive waste and it couldn't find a suitable place to deposit it for over 30 years. I think it's still somewhere on rails or in temporary storages. It's horrible and they don't want to collect more of it.

    Here is more about the problem that no one talks about: https://youtu.be/uU3kLBo_ruo

  • You forgot: use as many dependencies as you need. For example, my init system does not use xz-utils.

  • Don't worry. EU institutions without all the countries gave more than USA to Ukraine. If you additionally consider the small EU countries, it's also a lot. So don't worry. EU gives enormous support, even though USA is the largest donor as a single country.

  • Maybe they mean low latency internet connections. This might need some better hardware installations on the side of the provider. This is probably not about net neutrality.

  • No. This was Munich with its Limux project.

  • This part of Germany has supported open source software for a long time now. So this didn't come unexpected or without a decade long preparation.

    The most important part is not the product here. Unfortunately, the people who work with the software decide. It's also a huge effort to educate all the people to use LibreOffice.

    The nice thing is that MS Office moves entirely to the cloud and SaaS. Schleswig Holstein are the only one who will be prepared for the worst soon.

  • MFA

  • Passkeys are an open standard. You need to install a Webauthn-compliant supplicant that talks to the browser. The supplicant can be anything, as long as it does the required protocol. The browser doesn't care.

    At the moment the browsers are the main problem. They need to open their APIs properly.

  • It's nice that they "scream" there. It's the way you know that they are hiding their ammo and weapons routes there. Instead of complaining, we should target these routes. Hey... they are outside russian borders... so....

  • To keep the system simple and transparent.

  • Did you use iperf? It makes sure that HDD/SSD is not the bottleneck.

    You can also check the statistics and watch for uncommon errors. Or trace the connection with tcpdump.
