Being able to open a file to quickly change the fill color of a figure for example is nice. I first did it with inscape and the file size of the simple logo I was editing went up by 6x due to the inscape metadata so I did it manually.

I'm 5 year older and I agree. You can also have a lot more fun by mixing board games / (drinking) card games / beer pongs in the same party. It's becoming pretty common to know a few amateur DJs / music creators and

I agree that's not good but redhat seems to be one of the few organization that pays developers to improve parts of the linux ecosystem. So when redhat endorse a project it probably means it tries to address some pain points of the sta

I seriously doubt that only one IP of Hetzner sent spam but unfortunately it seems to be pretty common for email providers to soft ban VPS IPs. I don't know how much spam come from cheap hosting services but between the hacked servers

The bombs have been removed some years ago in Switzerland as the risk of them going off was deemed greater than the risk of sudden invasion. Just to nitpick, your point absolutely stands

Didn't the eu explicitly forbid this ? I wonder how their lawyer found a loophole. Or did they did the math and the fine is cheaper than the gains ?

Which is fine, you can learn a lot by immersion when you hear other native speakers talk. I only ask a person to repeat when I don't understand or if it's unclear and I need to be sure about something. Not breaking the flow of con

The last update of Firefox mobile really made wonder how it passed QA. The navigation bar on the bottom is an interesting expiriment but still I quickly moved it back up. The new tab layout is worse. Each tab need much more space so you can

You can do that with old diesel engines but new ones are too sensitive and destroy themselves if you try to run them on anything but diesel. It mostly because the high pressure pump use the Diesel for lubrication so if you use something els

The time iDrac annoyed me the most is when I bricked a server trying to update it. I made the terrible mistake of jumping too far between versions and the update broke iDrac and thus the server. There was no warning on Dell's website n

That server is at least 10 years old and quite custom. For example when an email is received the address is queried to an ldap and if it's a mailing list the email is sent to all the recipients of that mailing list which can be other

I think backblaze does it well. You can set limits for each type of API transaction and you receive email and sms notification when you get close to the cutoff limit (70% and 90% IIRC). You have a page with all the costs and how close you&#

This made me think of BoringSSL and LibreSSL again. Looking up on Wikipedia it seems that LibreSSL is focused on OpenBSD and removed lots of legacy code. BoringSSL (Google) got renamed to Tink but I couldn't not find much more. It'
