I flagged this, because the title sounds like something is wrong with Garmin watches. But having full access to my own data is a feature that garmin watches provide.

I have no idea where you live. As a European, I think that what you just said, is batshit insane . I trust, and I have to trust, that my government acts (mostly) in my interest. If I stop doing that, I'm at war with my own government

How could this be related?

I'm sorry to be this blunt, but this is a stupid argument. You already "renting" your plot of land from the government. Without government, your home has no protection at all and you own nothing.

This is only anecdata, but it happened to me more than once, that I typed in google the name of the restaurant and was couldn't find the real website of the restaurant over the fold, because the ads and the results are spammed with lie

The problem in this is, that lieferando captures the search results with these domains. They effectively cut the business off of their main customer source for their domain. After doing this, they force the business to get onto their platfo

I do not use lieferando because of this, and I think what they're doing is highly immoral and wrong. But I don't see where this is plain illegal. Can you elaborate?

The main purpose of homework is that students uses their brain to repeat something, that they learned in school. If they don't use their brain, it doesn't stick. Using LLMs for homework, is the definition of cheating.

This looks great. I've used ansible in the past, is this tool like a stripped down (and thus simpler to use) version of ansible?

I'm pretty sure, that we understand each other mostly but will strongly disagree on things, that are important to us if we engage further. So let's not do that :-) Thank you for your time, it was an interesting discussion!

This will be a bit difficult to answer, I think I'm unable to answer. First of all: it is very hard to talk about subtleties of meaning and interpretation in written language. Second: english is not my first language. So please interpr

You are applying logic and common sense from this century, to words of other centuries. This doesn't work, and never will. I think this is important, because a lot of people do this and nothing good comes out of it.

I answered one question 13 years ago where I still gets points for. Computing as a whole isn't so much in constant flux, it is only JavaScript that changes so much. Hell, I learned to use Apache 30 years ago, and I didn't need to

No, because the bot can just also sleep and scrape other sources in that time. With pow, you waste their CPU cycles and block them from doing other work.

This is spam. At least the visuals are somehow ai generated, because they're full of strange errors like broken characters. The content is also trivial: change your login password, change your SSID, change your WLAN password, update yo

You probably haven't heard of them. We were a German studio, and most of our games only reached a few tens of thousands of players. The biggest hit was Xhodon — it had a bit of a following among World of Warcraft fans. It was a fun tim

That is reasonably fast. We wrote entire games in PHP where we aimed for wall time under 100ms. That is a challenge, but often doable. Some routes managed to respond in under 50ms.

For pricing on non-aws "clouds", look at a hetzner, ionos, maybe Strato. There is also digital ocean, vultr, ovh and many others.

The really huge traffic spike is the lie. Most of the time you have a pretty good idea how much traffic you will get. Only once in 20 years we noticed that our servers are getting too much traffic, because too much people clicked on our adv

This old tale gets always told, and it is still a lie. Since AWS exists, every five years someone calculated the cost of AWS for our PHP stuff. And the results were always the same: we could have 4 to 7 times more CPU, ram, storage and band

I'm a bit confused. On a technical level emails are even less secure than postcards. Everyone involved transporting it, can read, copy and save it. So how are emails private and the most sensitive dataset in the world? I know that my e

No, there isn't a need for appreciation. We all cheered at that time where Google was building a great JavaScript engine and a browser around that. But in hindsight it is clear, that Google was just running the old embrace, expand, ext

I'm using nginx since what feels like decades and occasionally I miss the ability to use .htaccess files. This is a very nice way to configure stuff on a server.

This is so important to look at, when we talk about this topic. I was there, 3000 years ago, when browser where kind of simple software. We could go back to that state and would loose almost nothing. All the complexity that is now in browse

Even if this were true (and I don't think it is), it misses the point. Two decades ago, it was perfectly normal for people to be untraceable or unavailable in most ways when they were away from home. Today, it is normal for some people

Obvious solutions are often hard to do right. I bet the code that was needed to pull this off is either very complex or took a long time to write (and test). Or both.

Just my 2 cents: I've installed quite a few servers and racks of hardware in very unsuitable spaces. LTO drives in dusty rooms, important disks in hot and cold (summer and winter), dusty and vibrating rooms and so on. I was very worrie

I would say that symfony is the base of modern PHP. Laravel and others can only be as beautiful as symfony is.
