If there is no business model and no one wants to pay, what then? We'd have a lot of vacant properties that would need to be renovated by the city. We see this in lots of places in Germany already, where there simply aren't buyers

Such a law existed in San Francisco since 2022 and it was just cancelled by court order. The problem is: there are so many edge cases for empty apartments that it is impossible to account for. In Berlin, e.g., just imagine all the empty apa

Exactly! My offsite Backup box boots using a Shelly Plug S set on timer; it doesn't need to unlock the enrypted ZFS datasets because I use zfs sync snapshots in raw mode (-R). After the zfs scrupt, the box sends an email to me and shut

I really like ZFS snapshots with offsite pull-mode sync using Jim Salter's sanoid/syncoid [1]. ZFS is the base for all OS/filesystems on top of it. If you have a good system for organizing ZFS datasets, and separating epheme

I run Scality S3 (Zenko Cloudserver in the blig) since about 2 years and it is quite capable and frequently updated. Just make sure to point it to the latest Github Registry, not the outdated Docker.com one.

I really liked Paradox (1: On the Brink of Eternity, 2: Beyond Eternity, 3: Eternity). It is foundationally positive and optimistic, yet still "realistic", as far as sci-fi goes. Also not much known on the US-side, as far as I kno

Data scientist here. I still use pandas. It is a work horse. But today, the progress in data science is much more in integrating sources and outputs. I find Grist (via API) and n8n much more applicable and process oriented than core DS pand

Yes, you are right and I agree, there's little empathy with non-coders generally.

Static sites all the way (hugo, jekyll, mkdocs!). No one needs wordpress. There's even Sveltia or DecapCMS now, to give those WYSIWYG-people access to static site editing. Then, remove PHP and all the dependency overhead and attack sur

I love immich! On board since June 2026. But, here's a brief report on my evening installation project.. setting up Immich: Ingesting a 1.7TB library (160k+ RAW photos) is apparently not a standard task! - Thumbnails and ML vectors con

Really, upgrading in the background is not calm technology to me: Windows Upgrades almost daily and my PC slows down, Firefox upgrades in the background and my tabs become unresponsive daily. I prefer the apt-Linux approach, even Ansible, o

This sounds all like Mark Weiser's "Calm Technology" from 20 years ago [1]. I can't await when that future arrives! (I also self-host and have zero subscriptions, except the Proxmox community license - which is, beyond a

Living in Europe, I find that with LLMs, it is possible to navigate the federal & law jungle. However, LLMs don't protect you from institutional envy or the resistance of people trying to block progress simply because it is perceiv

Yes! And for those complaining that gitlab CE selfhosted is resource hungry: It can be tuned to only use 2 GB memory in total and run perfectly fine for a single developer or limited concurrency. Gitlab CI is awesome.

Yes, we already have this (Follow-Me - the swiss company). However, my 9yo and his bike is too heavy for that. I was able to carry/drag his bike from about 3y till about 6yo.

This would be great to add to my 9 year old's bike. We couldn't do long bike tours anymore because he would stop biking after 100m, telling is he is completely exhausted and must go home. I was looking for something like this!

You make it sound like there is a causality here. I would be careful. German GDP is declining for other reasons, not for their commitment to renwables. Also, by all measures, living in Germany still means you get one of the most comfortable

I use local seedvault backup and then sync via round sync daily trigger to my Nextcloud WebDav Server (native seedvault was not able to use this, for some reason).

The best advice is often: Use a dot and start a new sentence. The best writers use very short sentences in a row and simple words. They flow easily and do not break reading. This works particularly well in science and for difficult topics.

I am very happy with Moonlight/Sunshine combo. Runs neatly on my RTX 4000 Pro GPU Server. The only thing I miss is automated resolution adjustment to connected Clients, but I was able to script this with Home Assistent Windows client.

I get your point and this is likely also not what you mean, but I am very happy with a simple git tracking approach that I use across Proxmoxes and VMs [1]. [1]: https://du.nkel.dev/blog/2026-05-16_rootless_docker_virti

Yeah, I ran into the same wall when setting the system up. I then reverted to the standard mount utility, which also supports id-mapping. But it is really not that known. See the links in the article that point to the source of the idea.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree. I do have a comment on this, to explain my choice: > Podman vs Docker You may point to Podman here because Podman is natively rootless and doesn't require a daemon and additional workarounds to run

I found it pretty reliable and use it across all my docker projects, development and production.
