It sure does help though.

Kind of ironic for an article hosted on a site called “Linux links”.

He has been a wannabe Putin for quite some time now.

I had no issue getting the app on my phone, but it wasn’t really working anymore. I’d also have to swap the battery and reprint the buttons again. I’m just waiting for the new pebble now, it’s only a few months now.

I had to stop wearing my pebble 2 hr when the software became too flaky to tolerate. Notifications would just randomly Go through or not, media controls would sometimes not work, and so on. But can’t wait to go back, as my alternatives are all fundamentally flawed.

That is not how trademarks work. They are purpose specific. I still have no idea why they would want to name it the same as an old processor, but I doubt it’s actually an issue.

Only works in America though

An article was posted recently that you can host the Firefox sync server yourself. Supposedly a bit fiddly, but doable. If you’re considering self hosting something anyway, might as well be the right tool for the job.

Hope these help:

I remember reading about it in german media, but you can easily check the votes in the EU gparliament, as they are public. Specifically there’s a nice list of how they voted on that particular issue here (english/reuters). Germany voted “against”.

Like @barsoap@lemm.ee wrote, the (german) articles mentions fears of “retribution” taxes by the chinese. And when these tarifs were announced/planned, china did immediately say they’d react accordingly (so it’s no an unfounded fear). Another earlier article also mentions “expert opinions” that question benefit for the german car makers due to their large export volume to china (and at least some of them having plants in china making their vehicles, too).

Now a very recent article from last week notes that the profit of VW-Group has dropped around 31% over last year, and a large part of that is coming from lower sales (and more competition) in China, as well as general restructuring costs. But I have absolutely no idea if the “reverse tariffs” are actually already in place by China, or just planned, or if they reverted their stance. It might also be that they just made independently bad decisions and this is just a consequence of that…

Edit: corrected some nonsense, oops.

There were accusations and reports for their factory in Brazil (source: BBC, as well as many others at the same time). I personally didn’t look much further into it and haven’t tried following the story since, but I would research if I was looking to buy a car.

Edit: Note I’m also not the op of the comment.

All of the German car makers were actually opposed to the import taxes on Chinese EVs, as was Germany as a whole. But it got passed on the EU level anyway.

Considering doing something is completely irrelevant to everyone else. Doing something is the only thing that can have an effect on anything. That’s just how that works.

Again, he doesn’t do sponsorships and doesn’t want to. Missing out on “only” AdSense is one of two revenue streams (the other being donations/patron).

And you’re conveniently ignoring the other points about discoverability. There isn’t any on peertube. So you can’t even grow the last remaining revenue stream.

Because it’s not an alternative to people with YouTube as a job. It’s great if you want to have a couple of videos hosted and watchable by others. There is no way to monetize them by their very definition and mission statement. Their own website says it was “created for non-commercial purposes”. It’s his job though, so he’s not the target demographic.

You could integrate sponsors, which he doesn’t do on YouTube either. Or redirect to patron or similar services.

There’s also no (or very little) discoverable for people who watch sometime similar, which YouTube actually does extremely well. So how do you grow your audience?

These lists really need to stop promoting proton mail. There are actually great alternatives that didn’t have a shady history on privacy and an even more shady CEO.

Depends what you want to do. If you want only docker containers, it’s the wrong tool. If you want to run a mixture of VMs and LXC containers, it’s literally a management interface made for it. So it’s pretty good at it.

Energy got incredibly expensive. I live in a very small, well insulated house (good), but it’s heated with electricity as resistive heat (not good). So no heat pumps (which would be good again).

I happen to be able to see how much it costs me to heat it. It’s not particularly cold at the moment and it’s between 7 and 10 € every day! So calling it 1000€ for a month in winter isn’t far off.

Now if you have a larger house, or bad (or even no) insulation, even if you’re heating with some fuel that’s cheaper per kWh, it’ll still add up to at least similar if not higher numbers. Not hard to imagine that’s quickly too much for many people…

If you want to get into running a home lab, this world probably be a nice start. So throw proxmox on it and host all the services you want (in containers or VMs). Media server like jellyfin, maybe a nextcloud, storage/Nas services, automate your home with home assistant.

It has a relatively large amount of memory for that generation of system, but also will probably not exactly sip power for the performance your getting. So if power is expensive where you are, think twice about it.

Glad I decided against brother printer recently. How Kyocera doesn’t follow, so far it seems fine?

And that’s why we’re here and not there. Who cares anymore? And who’s surprised?
