I have not yet watched the video, but it also depends on how easy it is to find the needed settings and how authorative they are. Previously I was on Ubuntu trying to get Nine Sols working with a usable framerate. ProtonDB hat some comments about the needed settings, each comment saying something different, non of them giving positive results. And for using something like gamemode I first had to install it, which is just another step not provided by anything other than comments.

When I installed Bazzite on the same PC (which was torture in itself because I didn’t want to give it a full disk alone), everything worked out of the box for all my games. That tells me, that Ubuntu had no focus on making the experience for gaming better. Similar to Fedora 43 removing support for old Nvidia cards, while Bazzite still supports them. (I still debate myself on switching again from fedora because of all the hassle)

Passt für mich mit Englisch. Aber wisst ihr, wo es das Ebook dazu gibt?

There is a long long way from fewer workhours to all jobs automated

“Less efficient” is quite a misnomer here, since the meshtastic network mainly has to work around the regulations, which leaves it only small timeframes for transmitting. When such a project can only transmit for a few minutes per hour, then naturally it has way less bandwidth overall

Who should have authority is a really subjective topic. You cannot find a matric, that will fit the definitions of the complete fediverse. So the current solution basically is ditching the vetting process (as it is subjective) and give everyone the possibility to build their community (or instance) with their own rules, admins and moderators. Then the users can choose where to go.

Is that perfect? No. It just solves the problem of moderation (which is necessary to avoid the worst behavior of human kind) differently than mainstream social media, by creating niches for everyone, which can be isolated by blocking and defederating.

Of course you can build your own instance and set the rule, than anyone, who wants to moderate, has to provide proof of corresponding education for the community. Maybe that works, though I doubt it.

Go to Settings, then Apps. Choose your app and then select mobile data usage (or similar, since I translated this from german). There you can find a switch for disallowing network access for the app. Works great

e/OS does this too

For my setup I just copied the config.php from the container into my host filesystem, changed the trusted domains value and then mounted that file as docker bind mount into the container onto the same path. So the config.php, that nextcloud sees, is no longer the one provided by the container image, but mine with the changed trusted domains.

We hypothesise that the production of fully entangled sheep is easy, given how hard it can be to disentangle their coats in the first place. The logistics of assembling the tens of thousands of sheep necessary to factorise RSA-2048 numbers is left as an open problem

Omg, I simply cannot! Thanks for brightening my day with this paper XD

I am still active at my local scouts troop. I’m not a group leader anymore (not enough time), though I’m responsible for the courses for new group leaders (those that are needed to start being a group leader in my scouts organization). Also I was the main author of our new song book and play guitar for the kids on various camps.

Besides that I currently try to get politically active with a leftist party here. Though I’m not sure, what I can contribute. We will see.

What crosses my mind again and again for quite a while now is joining or creating a neighborhood help group. Something to help people locally and tie the neighborhood together. Though I’m unsure on how to start that, find other people that would like to join, and also not sure about my own time constrains. Don’t want to overwork myself with volunteering.

“Wow, me too! Let’s go and fuck some shit up!, so that we are going to both hells!” XD

The important part where this scheme came from:

According to Tex Texin, the first numeronym of this kind was “S12n”, the electronic mail account name given to Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) employee Jan Scherpenhuizen by a system administrator because his surname was too long to be an account name. The use of such numeronyms became part of DEC corporate culture.[3]

So it was a technical limitation gotten corporate naming scheme.

Though that is mostly a problem for big techs vision of VR, where we use it everyday allday (like all the shit with business meetings in VR). It was always a niche technology. But 3D printing is also a niche. But it got to be a big niche. And with even the current developments we got quite a reduction in size (thus better wearing comfort). I think an open hardware and software system would quite help the whole VR industry to get better, though still being a niche.

While you generally have a point, the year of the linux desktop is not hindered by that. Distributions like Linux Mint, Ubuntu and the like are just as easy to install as Windows, the desktop environments preinstalled on them work very good and the software is more than sufficient for like 70% to 80% of people (not counting anything, that you cannot install with a single click from the app store/software center of the distribution.

Though Linux is not the default. Windows is paying big time money to be the default. So why would “normal people” switch? Hell, most people will just stop messaging people instead of installing a different messenger on their phone. Installing a different OS on your PC/Notebook is a way bigger step than that.

So probably we won’t get the “Year of the Linux Desktop”, unless someone outpays Microsoft for quite some time, or unless microsoft and Windows implode by themselves (not likely either)

I sometimes wonder what would happen to VR, if it would get the same situation as 3D printing. That took of, because some patents where expiring and it was then easy to build up your own version. We had/have many open source/FOSS printers and nearly all the companies currently in this space wouldn’t exist, if it werent for the many open source developments and the extention of the market, that they created. I know this is highly unprobable for VR, but one should be allowed to dream

Are there any infos about what an attacker can do with this? The article didn’t say this. Remote Code execution? With the privileges of the app? Reading all files? Or only some? The impact information seems important here.

Though it definitely has something to do with Bazzite also, because previously I had Ubuntu installed in that exact location on the disk. Honestly, I’m currently not impressed by Fedora Desktop and its Spins (Bazzite being a special version of Fedora Atomic). I also have problems with my other fedora desktop installations, that I didn’t have with Ubuntu. I contemplate on keeping Bazzite for gaming (because now that its installed that seems to work great) and move to Debian for everything else (trying if that works as good as Ubuntu without snap, that gave me headaches multiple times)

I really don’t understand that argument. So is most of the US not connected to the sewers? Since these are also dug underground. If you already dig trenches for the sewer system, then you can also place electricity lines for relatively cheap. Though that was not done in the US and retrofitting is a big cost, usually only done, when you need to dig either way (e.g. for modernizing the sewer system). So its more about the default and if a country can take the opportunity when sewers get modernized

Though in development of an area you probably already dig up the ground for other utilities, so in that case it is relatively easy and cheap to also put electricity lines in there too. But retrofitting in an already developed area is really expensive. So it becomes more a question of the default.

Wow, was für eine Analyse XD den Linken zu sagen, sie müssten Politik wie die Rechten machen, und mehr auf unproduktiven Hass gegen Arbeitslose setzen um Arbeitende ohne Abschluss zu gewinnen. So dicht, das kannste dir nicht ausdenken
