Blue Byte’s “Albion” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albion_(video_game)

My (self-hosted) cloud storage is larger than the disk drive on my laptop. On demand sync is important to me. I really, really hope Linux will catch up to Windows in that regard.

Currently we have an experimental VFS feature on all platforms that is using some suffix appended to files when they are virtual empty placeholders. https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/3668

Yeah, no thanks. It’s a very hacky work-around and breaks the moment you use an application that tries to access the files directly.

OS-level support for cloud storage. OneDrive, Dropbox and all the others work seamlessly on Windows through the Windows API. You can browse all the files on the file system and once you access them, the OS will call back the cloud provider to download them. It works through all applications, all cloud providers. I am aware that some tools on Linux have something similar to work around the issue in user land. Some solutions are less worse than others but none of them are as good as on Windows.

If you use something Android based for watching YouTube on the TV (some TVs, fireTV stick, etc.), you can: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube?tab=readme-ov-file

I haven’t watched a single Ad on YouTube on TV (SmartTube), mobile (ReVanced), or PC (Firefox + uBlock origin) since it became unbearable… five years ago or so?

It’s visible in the PDF. I have used that extension to mark draft versions of documents. This makes it very obvious and saves you from accidentally handing in a draft. At least back when things were printed out much more often. With PDFs I find that the file name is sufficient.

Wenn alle Autofahrer so fahren, wie du es beschreibst, werden nur einer von zweihundert mit zu hohem Tempo erwischt. Für diese ist es aber dennoch so, dass sie nur einmal zu schnell gefahren sind. Daher ist das grobe Netz an Kontrollen für die Einzelpersonen nicht hilfreich, nur für das Kollektiv. Ich wollte damit auch nicht sagen, ob es unfair ist oder nicht, dass man das gleiche bezahlt, wenn man sonst immer ordentlich gefahren ist.

Zufall hat die unangenehme Eigenschaft zufällig zu sein. Es ist statistisch genauso wahrscheinlich beim einmaligen zu schnell Fahren kontrolliert zu werden, wie Tags drauf beim normalen.

That’s not the case (at least in Germany). Being brain dead does not replace the conscious decision on when to disable life support.

No, I said they hadn’t demonstrated it. But 95% is close enough, I stand corrected.

In that case I stand corrected on the whole orbit bit. Thanks for taking the time.

I didn’t say “a little” money. It may be important or critical for the business but from a technical perspective, demonstrating how it can safely bring loads up and down decides whether the whole concept is actually feasible. That’s when people will start to get excited.

As far as I understood it, SpaceX uses the word “orbit” liberally. If it reaches the hight where an orbit would be possible, that’s “being in orbit” for them. In an actual orbit, the rocket would not fall back down again in an hour or so without active breaking. If my understanding is incorrect, I’m happy to be corrected. And even of that was achieved soon, it’s still all without demonstrating that the starship could actually carry a load and return it safely. Not even an inexpensive dummy load. All SpaceX is showing in their live feeds are empty cargo holds that fill up with hot gases and fumes during reentry.

I think the average person gets it right. It’s a nice feat to catch the booster and it will save money. But that’s a side quest. The main quest of getting an actual load to orbit and beyond is still pretty far away. At least compared with the official time line where they wanted to achieve much more than that three years ago.

And whoever is way up his ass, is also a racist climate change denier. (Or has that changed in the last decade or so that I wouldn’t watch these shows?)

Nah, that’s not exclusively an AfD thing. That’s often boomer mentality. Many are out of touch with the rules for political correctness/decency nowadays and instead of trying to adapt, many try to make others stagnate as well.

Termination without notice in Germany? That’s a major challenge even in situations that warrant it.

That’s coherent. Otherwise it wasn’t bad.

Wer darf denn so eine allgemeine, Gesetze unterwandernde Ausnahmegenehmigung ausstellen? Habt ihr wenigstens Ausgleichszeiten dafür oder ist das eine einseitige Streichung?

EDIT: alles klar, Eigentor:

Ebenso gibt es die Möglichkeit für Tarifvertragsparteien gemäß § 7 Abs.1 ArbZG (sog. Tariföffnungsklausel), die Ruhezeit um bis zu zwei Stunden zu kürzen, wenn die Art der Arbeit dies erfordert und die Kürzung innerhalb eines festzulegenden Zeitraums ausgeglichen wird.

Ansible playbook is perfect for this. All your configuration is repeatable, whether on a running system or a new one. Plus you can start with a completely fresh newest version image and apply from there, instead of starting from a soon-to-be outdated custom image.
