There are many, many ways for a corporation to express its hatred of the world. There's only one way to become a platinum member of the Rust Foundation, and Microsoft finds that in its couch cushions.

Depends where you are. LinkedIn is absolutely the only place to go for tech jobs in Australia for example.

I've often wondered why Discord is the only major platform client that provides an option to play gifs only on mouseover. It's incredibly effective at solving for the problem you describe.

You didn't mention your distro, which I think is very relevant when discussing upgrade failures and GPU issues.
Re:Redis Renamed to Redict
on Saturday March 23, 2024 @11:42PM (#39805006)
Two reasons I can think of: 1) It involves Drew DeVault who isn't well liked on HN, and 2) the title implies Redis changed its name which it didn't.

Pharmacies in the US have just recently been caught giving law enforcement warrantless access to their records, and it's not even illegal. This plan would need some stronger guarantees IMO.

Because the transfer will happen faster if you're copying more than one file at a time.

RCX is approaching abandonware status (last release 2y ago). Round Sync is worth a look.

I'd argue the opposite. Rclone's parallelization options are unmatched.

Re:Leaving F-Droid
on Monday December 04, 2023 @01:13PM (#38520771)
I would indeed expect a community-run project to have been better (at evaluating the trade-offs of access logging [which occurs on every other web property F-Droid users utilize]). If only because there would have been more than one voice that mattered, and thus consensus would be required rather than unilateral dictation.
Is the confusion a result of disagreement, or of my explaining my perspective poorly?
Re:Leaving F-Droid
on Monday December 04, 2023 @12:32PM (#38520221)
I'm talking literally just access logging though. Expecting even an individual, let alone a business, to run a publicly accessible web service without any form of access logging is just absurd IMO.
I'd expect privacy-inclined people to care vastly more about detecting and tracing indicators of compromise or similar over avoiding access logging on the open internet.
Edit: Use actual English.

I briefly joined some F-Droid Dev rooms in hopes of helping with their speed/capacity issues by chasing some CDN sponsorships or expanding the mirror list, however the possibility that any commercial provider or user-provided mirror might have access logs enabled was enough to end the conversation. I 180'd after that. Never was a community-run project IME.
