Great idea to use something like that in a tunnel or a garage. Suffocation - no breathing ... and probably some blown doors/walls from the pressure

I wonder how they will fill up the mines in the west with the current droughts and dried up rivers

Being born in Heilbronn and living in the are this was a "the what problem" moment indeed.

I was hoping for Deathless Meat [1] Looks like this does not happen anytime soon.

Sync was nice but also a pita. I remeber a sales guy having on of the first celluar cards in his notebook and he flew to a foreign country for a week. Notes sync kept the card online and we got a thank you letter from the provider. Later in my network job it was very often Notes clocking the lines, keeping dial on demand open and requiering the implementation of WAN accelarators.

You could put it another way: Every time Ray joined a new company he startet to reimplement Plato Notes/the idea of a synced database. Groove Networks did that and its a shame that all thats left at Microsoft is OneDrive. And if you look at the optic of Microsoft Teams, the small bar at the left, the tiles of the app part ... hello Notes my old friend/enemy

The law requires to mention the outstanding documentation “Office Space“ here.

Why does XTINK even bother with their own firmware. Let their developer work on Crosspoint and make great hardware.

oh, thats an awesome idea!

forgejo for hosting, woodpecker for CI/CD.

Hopefully forgejo gets federation in the near future because öets face it, opening an issue on Github is easy because you have an user there but you wont get one on my private forgejo instance. Also, a tool like gh for forgejo would be nice.

If you want to have an easy way to setup, have a look at https://yunohost.org/ that also offers lots of other nice stuff in its "app store" -> https://apps.yunohost.org/

The current idea of passwordless seems to be "give me your email and put in the 6 digits i send you" - who ever pushes this absurdity, I hope you have an itch and short arms.

The sad part of it, way back we had to deal with icq, msn, Yahoo and then had the chance to reunite every one with XMPP. But that dream failed. Now we have a gazillion of services with anoying things like FOSS projects using closed source services like WhatsApp as their community base.

Last year ours bloomed, too. The problem is that it happens to late in the year and I can’t wrap that 5m high “tree” to protect from the cold. So the bananas were the size of your pinky. Next problem, once they bloom, they die. So yes, climate change is real. For comparison, we are located in south Germany near Stuttgart and we also have a fig tree and an olive tree in our garden.

No, bring back NetNews/NNTP. This spreading of communities over dozens of (commercial) services is annoying. And don't get me started about open source projects using WhatsApp groups as their main place to discuss things.

Whoever says this matters the most.

Thats like Microsoft saying "Don't use Linux because selling an operating system is what matters"

Hope this changes the state of things like API access at Udemy

I run my own forge to host my code, because why not. You can clone my code and you can send me patches by mail. But if I want you to participate in discussions, stars, pr-review or all the fancy stuff that makes a forge more than just a hosted git-repo, I would have to give you an user on my forge. And maybe you or I dont want.

I remember removing the IPX route entries from our Cat65 MSFC back in 2006 and from the ATM/Framerelay WAN Equipment. Wasn't very popular with the customers.

I also remember the first IPv6 Workshop on W2k SP3 back in 2002. Not that long ago.

Thanks to the trend to SASE like Palo Alto GlobalProtect or ZScsler this practice is not a good idea anymore. Speaking of ZScaler, they are still IPv4 only, right?

Had Google trying to send me mails to non-existing mail-addresses over months. You would think their logs might catch something like that or they would react to my complaints ... they don't and they just dont care.

It sometimes stops for weeks, then it continiues.

from my logs as an example: Nov 13 22:10:51 bert postfix/smtpd[2693931]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-oi1-x248.google.com[2607:f8b0:4864:20::248]: 450 4.1.8 <[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-oi1-x248.google.com> Nov 13 22:12:07 bert postfix/smtpd[2696594]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-ua1-x948.google.com[2607:f8b0:4864:20::948]: 450 4.1.8 <[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-ua1-x948.google.com> Nov 13 22:12:18 bert postfix/smtpd[2696594]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-wm1-x346.google.com[2a00:1450:4864:20::346]: 450 4.1.8 <[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-wm1-x346.google.com> Nov 13 22:12:37 bert postfix/smtpd[2696594]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-lf1-x146.google.com[2a00:1450:4864:20::146]: 450 4.1.8 <[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-lf1-x146.google.com> Nov 13 22:13:08 bert postfix/smtpd[2696594]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-lj1-x248.google.com[2a00:1450:4864:20::248]: 450 4.1.8 <[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-lj1-x248.google.com> Nov 13 22:13:08 bert postfix/smtpd[2696594]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-wm1-x345.google.com[2a00:1450:4864:20::345]: 450 4.1.8 <[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-wm1-x345.google.com> Nov 13 22:14:03 bert postfix/smtpd[2696594]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-lj1-x248.google.com[2a00:1450:4864:20::248]: 450 4.1.8 <[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-lj1-x248.google.com>

As you can see, the to-address is generated and its different hosts at google trying to send mails.

Searching for zf.thesparklebar.com shows others having the same problem.

Wait till you learn about companies replacing the opensource parts of their stack/products with something an AI coding agent produced. They do this to get rid of all the burden that comes with using opensource like risking to get sued if they dont ship the source code according to the licence. This is why sboms are a hot topic right now. Also coding agents are now good and cheep enough to do this.

Nice.

I just use org-mode + lots of recurring tasks.

Like car.org has monthly tasks for check fluids, clean inside, clean outside. In April and October theres a task to remind me to change tires and as I'm German a task to remind me yearly to check the first aid kit (you get a fine if its expired and they spot it when they stop you).

So, almost every appliance has its org-file with routines. Same for me and my family, check vaccinations, see the dentist ...

So, if you are already using org, theres no need for an additional tool. Plus, its all text, just throw it in your git. Also, there's tools like beorg to have your org on your iPhone.

Pet food and clothes, quite some portfolio to add a company like Threema

Got 10 hits. 8 of the email adressess were invalid like user1@ and user2@ while user@ would be the valid one

Curious question, this case is pure PP. What about shilding EMV emissions? Is this "legal" to run a pc open like that?

I'm not sure what customers Synology is targeting. Small office/home office (SoHo) was their original market, but these customers won't be willing to pay high prices per drive. Medium-sized businesses? They mostly move their infrastructure to the cloud, which probably leads to low sales volumes. Plus, they're very price-sensitive too. Large enterprises and corporations? This is the domain of established providers like NetApp. Synology might dream about the high prices that these major storage vendors can charge, but this market is difficult to enter without years and years and years of proven reliability in hardware and service.

I don't think this will work the way Synology imagines it.

naming things - always the easy part of the setup

sure you can, take your business elsewhere

Isn't most of their stuff open source?

As long as you have enterprise products like zscaler, that do not support IPv6. Or switches and routers that are broken in different ways with every update. Userproperties in Active Directory that are to short to insert an IPv6 address.

Why should any enterprise company move to it? Why should any enterprise (at least) double the cost by having to support two protocols when most problems can be solved by various types of NAT?
