4 years ago, I assumed, that by 2021 we would have about 50% IPv6 adoption: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14855347 Now it looks like I was wrong and we got just about 33% and the curve seems to flatten already: http

If you run a federated server, not all contacts might use the same server. With end-to-end encryption that doesn't really matter. EDIT: Moreover, trust is not binary. So while your family might trust you, maybe your dad doesn't wa

Sadly I don't. I have mine running since a while, and some things might not be state-of-the-art anymore. The server doesn't really have to support end-to-end encryption as that is part of the clients (in fact, there are some serve

Well, while I dream the same dream, it feels awkward asking my family and friends to pay 5€ per year so that we can share the cost of running our XMPP-Server. Currently, I pay all the bills and manage the server myself (so no cost/effo

Yeah, maybe I am a bit too negative about the format itself. My problem with the Flatpak only approach was that it was kinda hard to get it to run at all and it didn't work particularly well, so I ended up with putting some work into i

Why is it problematic when people hide their identity? I mean, if the criticism is valid, what does it matter who said it? I think hiding the identity is not the real problem here. To me, it looks more problematic, that the critique is not

This is especially bad for projects like Linphone (open source SIP Client) which exclusively provide Flatpak-builds for Linux [1]. [1]: http://www.linphone.org/technical-corner/linphone/downloads

Well, you are comparing apples and oranges here. The equivalent AWS service would be EC2 and not S3. I know that you didn't start with that (as gprasanth put them in the same race), but it should be clear those two have different redun

I still miss Wave... In my opinion, Googles biggest failure was the missing real-world federation. They promised us, that there will be a server to run on your own hardware and yet it took them years to release anything that was usable. Eve

I am sorry, but that is no BS, just pure facts. Granted the PC is not very powerful (CPU: AMD E-350), but the story is true. When the update started, I thought 'Shit that thing didn't just reboot itself. Okay here we are, that wil

They probably just want to push their cloud services, so that you 'Never lose a file due to some broken update!' :-D

If you want to use Windows, just do it. But if you had to experience what it feels like when Windows thinks it is time for an automatic-forced-reboot-update which takes 4 hours the day you have to submit a thesis, then you might know why I

Well, yes, in fact, I was complaining about the Same-Origin Policy, and CORS is just the consequence of the way the SOP works. Nevertheless, this doesn't really change the situation. If the browsers separated the session by origin (as

I never really understood why we have CORS. I mean, the problem with CSRF is that some random page can trick your browser into adding its authentication token to a request which does not originate from the authenticated page. So why the do

In general, I agree that juniors tend to skip useful information, but it depends a bit on the technology you are working with. PHP, for example, was known to report the error for the line after the one you forgot the semicolon at or at the

While I like your way of thinking, I don't think the argument applies. The game itself doesn't possess any kind of AI and is somewhat static, more like a sudoku book: There are lots of puzzles, but you know it when you have solved

There are very few people who want to read many books that are 1000 years old. The few books that interest more people can be converted to newer formats, the few people that want to read all old books will have to use extra tools to do so.

Two years ago I wrote a little Progressive Web App which stores its data in an offline cache (browser) and syncs to my Nextcloud via WebDAV. IMHO that has pretty much the same advantages that Solid proclaims. I mean, in spirit I seem to val
