  • Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

    Jump

  • I didn't say they need to rip something out. I didn't say their current efforts to open up weren't valid. I specifically said that I don't know whether it would have made sense to start with reduced requirements.

    I just stated that they didn't "happen" to only support Google. I simply acknowledged how they knew exactly that the standard they were writing would only be matched by one vendor as they were writing it.

  • Google just happened to be the only company meeting those requirements

    I don't know. They designed the requirements in a way that only Google met them. It didn't "happen" to meet them after the fact.

    It's like demanding yellow hard hats on a construction site. Sure, they are safe and highly visible. Would it make sense to allow black hard hats as well if it means not locking into a single vendor and try pushing for high vis while having a stronger base? And also working around the issue with a vest? I don't know the answer to that but it's clear that they have made a conscious decision to move into the situation that they now find themselves in.

  • Isn't graphene having a challenging future because they have vendor locked themselves into pixel phones and said vendor is pulling the rug by not providing drivers going forward?

  • Just install a panic button. The microphone is not reasonable since there are way less intrusive options available.

  • Containers Explained

    Jump

  • If you use much of the software that is included in the support package, then the price seems reasonable. No way you could get the same price if you went to each provider individually. If all you use is bare bones openshift, then you're right.

  • Containers Explained

    Jump

  • The ship is painted red and a few containers are bolted to it, rather than use provided.

  • I can not over express how happy I am with having setup my NAS from scratch.

    Jump

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux.

    Jump

  • 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.

  • "Deploying" images rather than installing from the official ISO?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • It states the OpenStreetMap data is from May. Is it fully offline and needs to wait for the next app update?

  • Postgres handles NoSQL better than many dedicated NoSQL database management systems. I kept telling another team to at least evaluate it for that purpose - but they knew better and now they are stuck with managing the MongoDB stack because they are the only ones that use it. Postgres is able to do everything they use out of the box. It just doesn't sound as fancy and hip.

  • Also, Kanban was invented in the 40s as a process for automotive production lines. That's why it aligns so well with maintenance and operations projects in IT. It's ridiculous how more and more people claim it comes from software development and would not fit hardware projects, when that's the core use case of the methodology.

  • Modern browsers happily show you the actual characters, while sending their encoded entities to the server. So, from a user perspective there is no ASCII limitation. Case in point: söhne.at (just some random website, I have no idea what they are or if they are legitimate)

  • Trouble with those tests is, that they become unreliable or even meaningless, when you have done then once before, let alone daily.
