XML is the reason why XMPP is not widely adopted. XML is such a painful configuration structure.
Re:PayloadCMS: Open-Source, Fullstack Next.js Framework on Tuesday October 15, 2024 @12:25PM (#41850226)
This CMS appears to be a breath of fresh air amid the toxicity in the WordPress world.

Considering devs are looking at complaints/features in this thread, I will post one: In WordPress, I can copy a plugin folder from one old project into a new one and enable it in the ui without touching code or cli. I see the benefit of defining plugins through a cli tool, but I also like the copy-paste folder structure of early 00's software.

> Wright Waste Management did not allow CBS News to enter and inspect its premises. Still, the news team's drone camera discovered that all the trash picked up from the Houston Recycling Collaboration (HRC) was apparently just sitting there on its premises, stacked more than 10 feet high.

Anyone else bothered by CBS's lack of decency here? They flew a drone inside a place they could not enter.

I am glad these phones were not Nokias. Who knows what damage they would have caused.

Re:Exploring Self-Hosted Email Services on Wednesday November 29, 2023 @11:58PM (#38469842)
This is a good guide to set up an email server, yet it lacks describing PTR Records (aka reverse DNS) and that some cloud providers block outgoing email unless you ask support to turn it on.
It means they cannot schedule time off of work to care for an illness, surgery, etc. It would prompt most to search for other lines of work but, in rural counties, not much else is available.
I think he means the end time is between 9pm and 11pm. The start of the shift is not mentioned.

I already live in a world where money can expire in 60 to 120 days.

Re:The best place to shop is other people's lost luggage on Saturday November 11, 2023 @11:39PM (#38237355)
The common denominator for getting a good bargain is camping outside to arrive early or visiting regularly. While I like a good deal, I do not care for those style of deals.
This is simply not true. My grandpa was an early adopter in '92 and had an internet connection to his home in Little Falls, MN.

Re:Global CO2 Levels on Tuesday October 31, 2023 @04:00AM (#38081487)
Interesting graph.

I believe too much CO2 in the atmosphere is a bad thing, but it is hard to find good, global suggested remediations to this issue.

- I use public transportation with my family of 6. (We do not own a car). - My kids walk to school ~1 mile away. - I stopped buying oak, because I read somewhere oak removes a good amount of CO2 over other types of trees. - We live in an area where it is easy to find evironmentally-concerned food producers and buy from them.

What else is there left for us to do?

Then you can send as SVG or PDF via email.
You cannot trust Google translate with Finnish.

For example: Both of these sentences mean the same thing, but are translated differently by Google translate (mobile app, if that makes a difference): Suden syö karhu. Karhu syö suden.

Your best bet is to learn Finnish instead of relying on a translator.

Re:American megachurches are thriving by poaching flocks on Monday August 28, 2023 @01:42AM (#37290203)
Perhaps I was a bit unclear. I was not referencing the general idea of raising sheep, but the negative end result - slaughtering (i.e. malicious). The major Christian view of raising sheep is in the positive. It was unique experience for me to read this in the negative light here.

Wow, I really like the contrasted view here. It is definitely thought provoking. One day, I may use it in a book or blog post. How shall I cite your thought? Link here?
