This is not a celebration. It’s a desperate search for any light in a room filled with darkness.

That’s what containers are for. Fucking up the container won’t fuck up the host. That was the best decision in self hosting I’ve done. Even that one virtual machine feels weird and uncomfortably legacy now but it needs to interact with hardware in a certain way that just won’t fully work with docker.

Look out for an option to receive all data they have stored on you. It might take a few days until they have your collection ready but you will receive a nice machine readable data set of what you’ve watched. It may require some post-processing depending on how crappy their internal data model is. Did this for Netflix and the result was very workable.

Fascinating. That’s much more than I expected. Thanks for taking the time.

The image doesn’t look like a photo. The meme is about porn. Digital images can contain large areas of repeating patterns (uniform color areas for example) that can be compressed losslessly pretty well. Even slight noise from an image sensor can block that kind of compression.

You’re right. png can be lossy but that’s uncommon in the wild.

bmp should not compress more than other media files. jpeg, png, etc. can compress so much because they are lossy

Python doesn’t have to. Windows supports both out of the box. Has been for many, many years

Or with small children. 😅

No. Because the python version of the host and the target server must loosely match up. Otherwise you get some cryptic error messages in some unexpected modules. Red Hat’s solution: just manage RHEL 9 targets from RHEL9 hosts and RHEL8 from RHEL8 hosts. There is no official way to align python versions across that major.

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.
