No doxxing was necessary, Tillie did it all publically, publishing on a home server, making announcements on Telegram under their real name. I don't quite get it either, but they specifically didn't want to hide in (pseudo)anonymi

MoinMoin2 exists and works on Python 3, but sadly there's still no stable release and it requires slightly older Python packages right now. We've also had strange problems with index (Whoosh library) performance on a large wiki th

Yes, I have my own cobbled-together mail setup on a home server. I would probably use a commercial service if I didn't already have a server running numerous other things, though.

If you start using shell scripts, you are throwing away the whole advantage of build systems, which is only rebuilding what is necessary. Using multiple manual build phases (even if you have a shell script calling them all) also increases c

I'm not going to say your complaints are invalid, but you're setting a very high bar, one that no mainstream OS clears today. I've had similar and much worse problems on all the big three platforms.

Any nontrivial change to the base model will mean a lot of complexity in the API layer and degraded performance. Maybe that's worth it for you, maybe if you're exposing this data to hundreds of external users who don't need h

I don't want to start a flame war, but I don't think there are "pro-complexity" and "anti-complexity" sides in programming debates, but really different views on where that complexity should be placed. Is a com

That's somewhat true for me as well, but I generally pay under 5 EUR for a game. Deciding between 20 games and a text editor doesn't look so good. Though as long as Sublime Text's developer is happy with the market share and

I think the official reasoning was that the motherboards weren't made with gen 4 in mind, so signal integrity problems could arise (as they do with many gen 3 riser cables).

It used to work, S3 suspend is a problem-free experience on both Linux and Windows . But some genius thought that laptop hardware needed power management more like a phone without all the software being built for it, with no fallback.

But you do have to pay network usage by the gigabyte, right? And 8 full "hyperthreaded" cores in one machine are more useful than 16 machines with a core each, though I admit I don't know how much such a machine would cost on

Here in the Czech Republic, plenty of government geodata is open (not all for now), but merging datasets is hard, so OSM contributors only do occasional manual imports. It serves as a valuable base and could be used as an OSM alternative on

Here I am, crimping wires for a 3D printer that will draw at most a quarter of the current, and NVIDIA is just giving out connectors with shoddily soldered connections? Shame! It also looks like they think strain relief is optional. EDIT:

Presumably, a train fan wanted to play with announcement audio. Is that not reason enough? I'd try it myself, but local train station announcement systems are commercial software that's licenced by the central rail authority, so I

The kind of "research" school kids are usually doing, Wikipedia is perfectly suited for. Their work is likely going to be read by the teacher or their peers and that's it. It's basically just used as proof that they&#x27

Today's hardware can scale performance and power consumption by orders of magnitude, I find that solutions that allow quiet day-to-day operation and loud power when needed are meaningful.

I run everything in LXD containers on my home server(s), with Debian as the host (manually compiled, not the snap). Most of the setup is automated with Ansible that I hacked to read Python scripts instead of YAML. LXD is a treat to work wit

There's also a FlatLaf plugin, actually very close to IntelliJ in looks.

I agree some software doesn't fit into Docker-style application containers well, but I'm still a fan of Infrastructure-as-Code. I use Ansible on LXD containers and I'm mostly content. For example, my Flarum forum role install

Yes, cities are (almost by definition) more crowded. What is subjective is when they become overcrowded. By a pragmatic metric (say, infrastructure spending per capita) that's not happening in cities even most Europeans would conside

Any guess on why people's experiences with spam are so diverse? I self-host and get fewer than 10 true spam emails per year (not counting marketing newsletters).

I agree, even with FP and (some) Haskell experience, customising Nix and debugging what's going on is made hard by Nixpkgs being a complex codebase more than anything. However, it is different than the usual large web app. The problem

Thing is, P2P networks are usually built to make this kind of blanket blocking/banning impossible. Mastodon is more distributed than P2P, but even then moderation only applies to one server. In this case, the operators of popular Pakis

What would happen if Twitter was a peer-to-peer FLOSS network? In our current world Twitter is a centralised product backed by a large company, but very little of its user-facing functionality could change and that would no longer be true.

Here in the Czech Republic, ~50 USD is about the top end of consulting firms' hourly rates, at least from the contracts I see (public sector). 40 USD would be very respectable for personal hourly income.

I usually have success puncturing the crust first and then "levering" the knife to create a wide cut that's easy to finish afterwards. Some bread just falls apart on its own, though, this works best on more firm bread.
