I see. What a BS. It's obvious that this is a business move by Automattic. Akismet was (is?!) bundled with every fresh WP installation. That is a product by Automattic, so why is it bundled with the Open Source "product"? It&

I don't understand what the actual problem is. What did WPEngine do to use "wordpress.org resources"? That article is very... non-informative.

It is not? Well, seems like the percentage probability is up when it happens more often. Look at this table for example: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_Hochwasser-Ereigniss... Seems like people either started

Yes, there have always been floods. But we had several events on the scale of "once in a century" in the last years... So, maybe... centuries don't last as long any more?

Ah, nice! Also TIL: Vimeo has a lending period thing now. Will watch it on the weekend.

Thanks, I will try to find it. Amazon does have it on DVD or BluRay but not on Prime. And for anybody reading this: There's naughty stuff down the search results for me, so watch out... ;-)

Any recommendations on good books on Dieter Rams, Braun and the philosophy behind all of that itself? I'd like to learn more about it.

Yes, you can. If you want to do that, I'd recommend to print in ABS though. It's easier to sand and you can use vapor smoothing afterwards to get a very smooth and shiny surface. Printing ABS is more challenging though and the fum

The biggest problem with Tupperware, at least for a long time, was their multi level distribution network, I think. Tupperware was only available on those "Tupperpartys" but I don't want to sit through a whole evening when I

I'd be interested in such a simple device, but does anybody even produce tech _that simple_?

Funny stuff. Never seen one of these in Europe, there's just a display for showing the amount and price and that's it.

Have a look at Fossil then. I'm wearing one and it's nice. Still has a mechanical watchface so it does not look like a smartwatch, but it got some features. I've turned notifications on only for messages, mails and calls, not

Duplicating tabs, pinning tabs, stuff like that seems new to me as a Firefox user. edit: Yeah, you're right, old features, I just didn't use them. :-D

I'd second this. Get yourself some managed hosting package with a TLD at Hetzner or somebody like them and run your own stuff. NextCloud with calendars, mail, maybe a blog will cost you sth. like 3 Euro/month. That's totally

Well, what shall I say without sounding snarky... I'd choose a smartphone that offers wireless charging because that is the state of art and it just works. It makes my life easier. I can just rest it on a little charging pad and move o

Just use wireless charging. It works fine. I've 3D printed a little cover for my USB C port as I just don't need it for anything. Will keep that little port fresh for years...

Are those boxes powerful enough and a sensible solution to get a little NAS up and running?

That is exactly the thought behind SGML/XML and its derivatives. XSL is kind of clumsy but very powerful and the most direct way to transform documents. JSON-LD to me looks more like trying to glue different documents together, its not
