Well thats what backups are for, but may be start with a mirror or with unimportant stuff for at least a year ;) Also proprietary service can delete your data, too. This happens especially when you are using the generous free tier and they decide to make more money. See Evernote, Gitlab, Heroku…
Get a Steam Deck and use any Controller you want ;) (including the corresponding controller glyphs for many games)
Free software as in freedom of speech, not necessarily as in free beer. Maintainers also need to pay the bills.
It is also very resource efficient. I am running it on a Raspberry Pi 2 and it works flawlessly.
Yes, the comment was meant as criticism of the streaming era packaged as a joke
It‘s 2023, you can still listen to the same shitty music, because it is yours to keep.
I use a Raspberry Pi 2 to self host a Dashboard written in Rust (Axum), a RSS reader called yarr and a music streaming server Navidrome. The latter two are written in Go and very resource efficient. The electricity bill should be under a Euro a month (6.4W max power consumption).
The project controlled by only one entity can affect users in the future. Moving forward Hashicorp could do anything with the code or licensing and nobody could do anything about it. It is good that something is happening now, when there is still the chance to do it.
I‘ve recently started using Tailscale for my home setup and I really can‘t recommend it enough. In my opinion it takes a lot of the dangers regarding IT security out of self hosting. Depending on who you ask it is not true self hosting, but I couldn’t care less :)
With Tailscale you can create a VPN for your devices including your phone and even expose services to the outside world with SSL already setup (havent tried that out, yet)
They have guides/tutorials for a lot of stuff (web server, Minecraft).
In the Veritasium video about IQ they said that the American military actually has limits on how many people with below average IQ they can recruit. They found out that those people had a higher chance of dieing and needed way more training, so less people with higher IQ were better for the military success.
Not quite, it‘s only restricting competitors and so all companies and home labbers can still use it for free and contribute as in free speech.
However this can bring a lot more financial sustainability to a project. I don‘t know the specifics, but the main problem is that companies make profit of the software, but don’t invest enough money back into the product. This cannot be good for users. Open source must be financially stable.
Also right now all those competitors (and users) can create a fork and maintain it. So it is up to the community what will happen to the project.
Cool service! Is the code open source?
A litte off topic, but still interesting: What you are referring to is the life expectancy at birth. Your life expectancy actually increases as you get older, since you already survived and the people who already died are not factored in anymore.
https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html
So according to that table when you are born your life expectancy is 74.12, but when you already made it to 50 it rises to 78.33 (current age + life expectancy from the table).
Some cruise ships equip Starlink nowadays
There actually is! It is still on my list to actually try it out, but it claims to do exactly what you want: https://fileparty.co
Tell me about your experience, once you have used it :)
Unfortunately it is not FOSS, but I believe peer-to-peer (hard to know for sure without the source)
Buy a framework laptop instead!
In Berlin there is a hybrid firetruck currently in use and the firefighter are really happy with it, only using the battery for about 90% of operations. Here is an English article about it (German ones are much more in depth):
https://www.electrive.com/2022/12/21/berlin-fire-brigade-goes-hybrid/
It is not mentioned in that article, but the firefighters really like the silence of the firetrucks. They didn’t need to yell as much and could therefore communicate much more efficiently.
A screenshot from Mastdon, yay!
I‘ve actually when something like this will happen. A few years ago German energy providers and distributors needed to split, because it gives you an unfair advantage if you own both. Whole companies were split in two. People working for years together would no longer work together. In the end consumer were much better off after the split. I feel the same way with internet browser. It is unfair if you own the infrastructure (Chrome, energy grid) and the services that run on it (YouTube, power plants).
