I'm currently using a System76 laptop, but it's for sure my last one. The build quality is pretty poor and the touchpad is so annoying that I disabled it. When the fan broke and had to be replaced I had to take over the shipping c

You could use microg, then nothing goes to Google. https://lineage.microg.org – This together with yalp gives you a good experience and keeps you private.

I think a drone id is a good thing, but not to identify criminals. They’d reset the id or falsify it. It would be helpful to monitor drone airspace though, e.g. to see who’s using drones too close to restricted zones etc.

We have a Redis+Memcached frontend with an Apache Ignite Backend. Now we can re-use existing functionality in the clients and have new features like read-through based on a MySQL database or an automatically updated near cache on the instan

I’m living in SG 5 years now, moved in from Europe. You get used to the temperature outside (Took me two months to get adjusted), so wearing long trousers and a shirt is ok now. That also works for inside. When I’m back home now everything

Wow, that’s awesome, I was looking for something like this a while ago to visualize a state machine. I ended up using graphviz, but I’ll have a look at mermaid for presentations, my diagrams always look super embarrassing.

Last time I was at Google for a workshop (If you have the chance to visit Google, do it. The food alone is worth it), they didn’t seem to push CloudSQL a lot, because they wanted to guide people more in the spanner direction. Without a soli

Most of the whois hiding services cost money, so if I get this “service” for free now, I don’t have much sympathy with the whois guys. If it’s about contacting people, they could make the abuse@ or webmaster@ address mandatory, then you can

We have PayWave in Singapore where you can just swipe your credit card for amounts under 100$, but most of the time you have to wait pretty long for the approval to go through, it feels a bit like the time benefit is eaten up by that. Only

Is there any open source S3 compatible software? I know Riak Cloud Storage ( http://docs.basho.com/riak/cs/2.1.1/ ), but I think it’s not maintained anymore.

Responsible and ethical are usually not words which are used together with Uber, but in this case it seems like it was simply an accident. Computers cannot beat Physics, if the woman suddenly stepped in front of a car which is unable to bra

That would make sense, instead of breaking the cog-setup, the little plastic part breaks off and saves the motor. Thank you for the explanation, one conspiracy theory less!

Those cafes are a great idea! I recently opened a high quality blender (forgot the brand) and found a cog made partially of metal with one small part made of plastic which will break first due to wear and tear. Otherwise this little motor w

Yes I understand that they want to offer their services in Europe, but the servers are in the US and billing is also not handled by a European branch company afaik. I’m really just wanted to know if and how the EU could force GitHub to comp

Why would GitHub as an American company follow EU law? Or are they just really trying to prevent bad laws?

Amazon Prime Video has all movies and series in English, German, French and a couple of more exotic languages. I think they have a 30 day trial, it might however be different in every country.

They don’t. I’m living in Singapore, but have family in Germany and Thailand. If you want to have Thai subtitles in Singapore or Germany, you can create a User with Thai set as the UI language, then you also get offered audio and subtitles

Wouldn’t this be a good use case for IPFS? Then we could share the traffic and don’t have a single point of failure.

This is exactly the problem you run into when sending mails to Gmail: For them there are only bulk senders and gmail address owners. In their whole documentation / faq they don’t even mention small businesses or regular people owning a

A database which utterly fails the Jepsen test should not be considered for production. It might be good enough for a cache, but trusting it with real data is reckless.

So cool, thanks a lot. I asked the Microsoft support twice, they didn’t even understand my problem!

Was that a form by Microsoft? Would be great if you could share that, I’ve been looking for something like this forever!

In Singapore the Apple Maps capabilities seem to be a little better, after they introduced bus lines a couple of months ago I’m using it as my main guide to go around the city or when I’m lost. The general direction is always correct, point

Including the Spring-Cloud config server would have been interesting , because it has all the mentioned features, but is running on top of git. If you are on AWS, you can use one if the free CodeCommit repos. The cool thing is obviously the

Apple Maps in Singapore is perfect since they added support for public transportation (bus system is a little confusing in Singapore). Now it's so easy to take a bus home when you got lost.

I gave it a try and I really like the Webmailer and the apps, but not having IMAP/SMTP is a dealbreaker, because you can't import/backup your mails at all. As soon as they add those features, I'll sign up for a paid plan
