Would be a nightmare to adminster as well, has so much less automation and tooling for deployment and updating of software. Even now the updating of apps on windows is a mess and the closest they have come is winget that centralises the entire thing through stores, completely useless for the corporate world. There is a reason Linux won on the server.

Theft has a very specific definition, critically it requires the taking of something so that someone else is permenantly deprived of the thing. When something is cloned or copied its not theft, its all intellectual law driven so copyright and trademark breaches. No one is deprived of the product, only potentially the payment for a service.

Pretty certain cd and pwd have changed over the years. The kernel hasn't remained the same so the commands that use it wont and now we have faster methods to do various things like getting file data the commands that depend on it will change. Less quickly than something that is still gaining features but bit rot is a very real effect since every single part of software is in constant flux.

The fact it recommends popular stuff is a useful addon feature, its a good way to look at what others are watching.

Alas I don't think the USA will have the political stability to ultimately allow the adoption of an alternative. There is zero point building something that also accommodates the USA right now as the new King is quite likely to ban it and waste all the time put into it. Even a treaty put in place wouldn't stop this from happening, so frankly its not worth an EU or any other countries company anticipating doing anything with the USA for the foreseeable future.

Its a big problem. I also dump projects that don't automatically migrate their own SQLite scehema's requiring manual intervention. That is a terrible way to treat the customer, just update the file. Separate databases always run into versioning issues at some point and require manual intervention and data migration and its a massive waste of the users time.

31 Containers in all. I have been up as high as ~60 and have paired it back removing the things I wasn't using.

I also tend to remove anything that uses appreciable CPU at idle and I rarely run applications that require further containers in a stack just to boot, my needs aren't that heavy.

I reject a lot of apps that require a docker compose that contains a database and caching infrastructure etc. All I need is the process and they ought to use SQLite by default because my needs are not going to exceed its capabilities. A lot of these self hosted apps are being overbuilt and coming without defaults or poor defaults and causing a lot of extra work to deploy them.

Its small enough numbers that its symbolic for defence, but attacking so many countries militaries will be an act of war against the EU and draw all of NATO and the EU into a war. Multiple countries in this are also nuclear powers. I really wish the USA would see sense, but its fallen to fascist rule and once again fascism is bringing enormous wars to the world and this one is going to be much deadlier than those previous. Lets hope the orangutan decides its not worth it like he has with Iran.

The potential problem here is that the mouse model is based on the Amyloid theory of the disease, which this year was largely determined to be wrong after a series of major frauds were found in the research implicating Amyloid. This drug might still work since it seems to act on other aspects of the condition in the bloodwork but there is every chance this doesn't work in practice.

They are talking hectares in this and it looks like the power density is below that of batteries, but its also cheaper per MWh.

A home long term battery makes a lot of sense, I have thought for a while something that goes from water and the air into methane or even liquid fuel would be highly beneficial as it could run from a generators through the winter and act for long term storage without requiring a turbine.

The only detail really is that at least 2 of the N machines you are using have to be on at the time so where ever a change was made is synced to another machine that is on and this continues so that you never end up booting a machine to use when nothing else with the latest files is available. This is where having a centralised low power machine is valuable and saves having a desktop or a laptop on when it doesn't need to be.

I really wish the desktop version of the world had not become so marginalised as local programs are considerably better to use than websites, they are so much quicker, accessible and easier to use.

 

The open source project I stumbled upon that allows you to run Android apps on PC is Waydroid....it takes a container-based approach to running a full Android system directly on Linux

Alas given how it works it only works on Linux.

 

A good guide on initial server setup for users, ssh hardening and firewall settings. Not just useful for VPS it is basically the same steps on a home linux install too.

 

This used to be a lot easier, Youtube had an export function to OPML and you could just import it.

Its quite useful being able to follow all your Youtube channels with your RSS reader if you want to pick which you want to watch then also Metube and the browser plug-in makes it a right click and select to send it for download.
