Thanks for these code deeplinks. That's scary condisering seahub. I'm a happy Nextcloud user, thanks for your work!

Interesting – for basically the same reason we made the inverse switch from Resilio to Nextcloud with a small startup team with <10 devs. Nextcloud provides us custom shares, user groups, public shares, URLs, better local clients, compar

I love KDE connect. It makes smartphone interaction really seamless. However, it only works in the same wifi (most likely some wifi you control). PS: Just noticed there is a VPN feature https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect#Ru

It's probably written in FOCAL, a DEC dialect of BASIC (sometimes told as "BASIC on stereoids"). The terminal looks like a vector terminal, so you basically drew line commands, as if you would plot on an oscilloscope. From my

Yes, XDMX is amazing, but the last time I used it (literally 15 years ago), it required a hand crafted xorg.conf, which is not really practical in 2020 with notebooks and frequently changing settings. XDMX won't work with Mac OS, thoug

This is what quality software looks like: It has power features around the corner , which can be turned on by experts. But is nevertheless accessible by novices. CLI is trending amongst dev's again, and we should take a lesson by htop

The situation was (is) the same in Germany: There is a fee of about 20EUR/month per household in order to fund the public service broadcasting. And in the last century, these "TV detector vans" also have been a thing in Germa

I find it meaningful that all items (currently) displayed at https://www.buyforlife.com/ are typical outdoor use, high-quality, representative for a certain kind of living. This kind of living has pros and cons, but I guess

Scanning the whole IPv4 Internet goes pretty fast (I think you can do it on a private subscriber line in a few days). What about IPv6? If I "hide" my service in my public /64 network, can I feel safe against IP scanning? That

Mushrooms growing in humans is nothing special at all: It is called Mycosis or Candidiasis, and there are (generally) antifungal drugs. Deliberately self infecting with fungus is something very stupid... Did he survive?

If there was a WRT54G version with Gigabit ethernet, it would be my daily driver today. Having a 100mbit/sec switch is the only reason why my WRT54G is sitting in the shelve without any work. I only use it for tinkering one day or the

That's not right. Refinforced concrete will suffer from environmental influences and have a durability from maybe 30 years. That means you have a cost overhead of 3-4% per year for the replacement value. Water tanks certainly have a mu

Thanks for the link! I think this is tightly connected to Donald Knuth's Literate programming paradigm, i.e. there are also platforms which generate beautiful reports out of the embedded comments in your traditional source codes. How

Yes, PDF is the standard. Some people get it managed to generate HTML out of their PDFLatex code. This could be a nice starting point for an enriched reading experience in the web browser. However, with standard print-first latex, I never c

Jup, MS Colab is one of the many commercial Jupyter/IPython notebooks available. There are also Y-combinator startups like https://deepnote.com/ I hope that these closed source commercial platforms give back something

You probably better invest the time in the preparation of a couple of beautiful Jupyter notebooks. That's where people expect interactivity and code to happen, not in PDFs. In my scientific community, virtually nobody uses Adobe Reader

Stop distractions in the first place. (Instant) Reward(ing) with another distraction sounds counterproductive for me.

Here's a stupid question: what's the difference of using an intrusive container against using an STL container of (probably smart) pointers? i.e. std::list<My class*>. I've done that plenty of times in my codes in the p

Nice, so this setup requires 18 raspberries for 30 USB-3 hard disks, 2TB each. I know this is about hacking and fun, but I wonder if there's no more better, certainly more traditional way of attaching these external disks to some power

I find the Arduino C++ "dialect" being quite orthodox. Maybe a bit too rigorous, since it doesn't use the STL (which is mostly quite fine). I personally don't like C++ code which exploit all Turing completeness of the te

The "tons of knowledge" are "just" the STL. It is a template library and thus needs knowledge of the concept of templating. So that's quite some knowledge required compared to list usage in Python, which doesn'

In the old days, you got an exposé style feature by compiz and friends. I don't know the current situation, but for instance KDE/KWin also features an exposé style (can be triggered by keyboard shortcut or magic edges/corners

Is this related to newer firmware or so? Because I have a gopro and the usb stream quality is only very low, compared to the HD recording facilities of these devices. If you browse the web for this, you will find (again, as in the threads h

This. Readme files should be readable by anyone. That's one of the promises in the filename (it is readable ;) ). There is a reason readme files are not PDF files.

Of course "if": That's how security works. The most trivial mistakes are still made in 2020, such as SQL injections. Many people write horribly insecure code, because they were never trained on a security-oriented focus. Stor
