I've never heard of OnlyOffice, but that really looks quite promising. I'll have a deeper look at it later, but even though it's all webapp based it can't really be slower than libreoffice...

The pandemic helped the banks push contactless which they love, because it’s not EFTPOS. EFTPOS is our national post of sale system, it has very low or no fees for any party involved. Merchants pay a fixed machine rental per month which can

Since always. EFTPOS was designed with offline support (signed receipts) as an emergency fallback when the network is down. It’s been like that since the 90s, I know because I’ve been using EFTPOS since then and experienced many outages. It

We hardly use cash in New Zealand, over 85% of transactions are electronic. There’s a lot of places that don’t accept cash anymore because cash handling is annoying and risky. That said, nobody thinks of cash as dirty, just annoying. Also o

yep, that's the most important thing about his operation of Boeing. Both the 707 and 747 were "bet the company" projects, in particular the 747 pushed Boeing to the brink of bankruptcy. However both were major successes becau

Yes, but with the combined effects of food reducing the absorption rate and the small quantity of alcohol present your liver can easily process it all.

These reports always highlight the relative risk, not the absolute risk. Over the course of the study the absolute risk was 2.5%. While this reinforces the dangers of alcohol consumption the actual increase in risk is significant but small.

The article uses terms that are known to biologists which can be easily searched for. There are genes called "selfish genes" which cause a negative impact on the organism. Normally they would be selected out by evolution, but the

I hadn’t dug that far in to it, thanks for sharing! I assumed my rather old SD card or the adapter I keep stuffed at the bottom of my bag was the issue as I’ve only seen it on a couple of photos. I’ve used Olympus cameras for over a decade.

I’m pretty sure I’d rather remove the dirt from my vegetables, but you do you. You can also read the studies that show mechanical action (brushing, rubbing) under running water effectively reduces the bacteria count https://www.s

I hate to break it to you, but the loose produce in store isn't clean. That's why you must wash produce before you eat it.

by sitharus 1y ago
I've been doing that since before anyone cared, it just seems wasteful to use a bag for a handful of things. I use bags if I buy more than a few of something, or if it's something with dirt on like potatoes.

Huh, today I learnt about continuous automatic car washes. Never seen one of those, the ones over here you park in and it moves around you, they’ve been that way since the 90s at least.

What is the neutral issue? It sounds annoying to switch in to, but when do you even need neutral in an EV? The reasons I’ve needed it while driving ICE cars aren’t there in an EV, because it’s the same as the car being off. Come to think of

These days? Not very. However a lot of systems created in the 2000s, particularly enterprise software because XML was seen as the thing for enterprises, depends on it. It’s not (and never was outside of corporate webapps) very common on the

Yeah I can't see it tearing down the message pipe, that would exit the app. But what it is doing is first posting a message that will call `[NSApp stop]` then calling `[NSApp run]`. Which is odd, because `[NSApp nextEvent]` exists, but

Wow that’s wild. I never touch minibars anyway, but I have been known to look at the contents! Guess I won’t now. Though here in New Zealand most hotels I’ve gone to over the past couple of years don’t even stock the minibar anymore, it’s j

And that's why you don't trust AI. As another commenter said the Airbus engine start/stop controls are located behind the thrust levers, and according to the A350 operations manual which I got my hands on there are two condit

Or you simply interlock the engine cutoff with the thrust lever position, any position other than idle prevents shutdown. This all goes through the flight computers already. If there’s a fire or similar problem the fire handles will cut off

That literally defines it as a word from the PBF comic I cited? Nothing on that page defines it as a slur, just as a word used to mock people who argue about inconsequential things.

No it isn’t, it’s a reference to a Perry Bible Fellowship comic https://pbfcomics.com/comics/skub/ (This one is sfw, not all of the comics are) Even urban dictionary doesn’t contain a definition for skub as a slur

It definitely can’t. Either you had to put your script in cgi-bin, use an extension like .cgi in a directory with that feature explicitly enabled, or a magic sticky bit on the file if that was enabled. You could configure the server to be i

by sitharus 1y ago
The main security issue I recall from CGI was caused by the web server having to execute the binary. This meant either executing as www-data, running the web server as root so it can call setuid, or using setuid binaries which have their ow
