  • No more gmail? My switch to European alternatives.

    Jump

  • Thank you! That makes it sound a lot less painful. First I've seen of a way forward.

    Personally not sure what provider to go to yet, but seeing that Proton has a plan, it proves that there's a good solution, so others might have similar. Feeling more optimistic now.

  • I like this topic, and articles like this one. They're fine for single-person migration from Google etc to alternatives.

    The problem hits when it is not one user, but a whole family with a custom domain name on those services, and they want to move to another provider including their family domain name.

    I haven't figured out how to do that, barring a big-bang all-at-once everyone-at-once switch during some holiday or something. And I am terrified of breaking it completely.

  • Just use Notepad++ instead?

  • CopyParty is kind of a great file server

  • I checked my setup, and webDAV is indeed what I am using. Good that they made it impossible to accidentally use an unsafe method.

    Thank you for the explanation!

  • Isn't SMB the thing that makes it available to Windows? What's the issue?

  • Dutch is not a serious language

    Jump

  • You are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct!

    Most people incorrectly think that Finland is part of Scandinavia. However, Finland is part of the Nordic countries!

  • How do I not kill my Iomega ZIP drive I just got? (The experiences I've heard of scare me)

    Jump

  • Zip drives are known for the "Click of death" sound. If you hear it, it's dead. You could probably google that term.

  • Written Danish is easy, like all Nordics. Spoken though, not a chance.

  • same shit every day, on god

    Jump

  • It only feels odd because that is genuinely an incredibly effective means of generation, and we found it very early on because steam is so fundamental. Nothing wrong with sticking to the best method ever discovered.

  • Yeah but photovoltaic has a yield of less than 50% even for the best panels. Lots of waste there, compared to steam.

  • Copyparty was mentioned here just the other day, and I started using it this weekend. There were comments about security risks though, based on being a small project with a LOT of integrations. Not sure how safe I feel.

    Docker path mapping is needed to let Copyparty show the files I want to access. I run my containers on a server next to my NAS that hosts my files; that's a little complicated.

  • If only it were mentioned in some article or something...

  • You clearly didn't even look at the article. It's literally the first point they made.

  • What distro do you install on other's computers?

    Jump

  • I'm not looking for a date, but this made me curious. Would you elaborate?

    I don't use Ubuntu and wouldn't go out with you if you do

  • That same orange shit stain is days away from de facto declaring war on Venezuela. Disgusting.

  • Flights disrupted after Airbus discovers intense sun radiation could impact flight control data

    Jump

  • The articles I saw mentioned that it would be fixed in software.

  • HA on Raspberry pi: SD card failure

    Jump

  • A dying SD card also killed my Pihole. That was the day (night) I stopped using Raspberry and moved everything to a Docker container running on my home server which is a laptop (built-in power backup).

    I hope my server SSD is more stable than an SD card. Backups are still important - let's not forget.

  • Flights disrupted after Airbus discovers intense sun radiation could impact flight control data

    Jump

  • I work in the software industry and I have a guess regarding what the might do to "fix" the problem.

    First, we look for the cause, but in this case it is external: we can't prevent solar flares. So we will turn to mitigation instead:

    Data gets flaky and erratic unter radiation, so what we would do is to double- and triple-check the data bits. By adding more levels of data correction, more bits can be wrong and we can still figure what it was supposed to be.

    Adding more corrections means more overhead and slower performance, but it can still be made to work within the given constraints of real-time processing. They will need to find a balance between hardening and usefulness.

  • YSK that Boris Johnson was one of the most corrupt Prime Minister in British history 🇬🇧 . Always broke, he often said "I just can’t afford to do this job". He wanted rich businessmen to help him.
