"I give you $50 if you vote for me, you'll get it when I win the ballot" If someone is willing to sell their vote in the first place, they have zero incentive to vote for another candidate. They only have to trust the buyer t

Not OP, but https://dawarich.app/ seems to do the same (open source and self-hostable, also has an iOS App).

This is pretty interesting, I think you should do two things right now: 1. add a message box stating that it is experimental and has only a very small set of companies right now 2. add an option to get notified when you have a more complete

If npm or Ubuntu would deliberately replace a package with their own implementation, without giving you notice or making this opt-in, would you call that a supply-chain attack? I would, unless the original package contained malicious code (

It's standard for Euro amounts and before that for many (most?) European currencies.

One could argue that at least this specific tactic would not be possible without the state granting a monopoly on "intellectual property". Without that, nothing would hinder AMD from just shipping their already existing implementa

I do run a pretty similar setup for some projects, and in general I tend to agree with the author, especially when bootstrapping cloud services can cost quite some bucks for mediocre performance. There is, however, one big disadvantage one

Technically true, but still misleading, as the total production has gone down significantly: 2022: 491,8 TWh 2023: 436,8 TWh So Germany is not replacing fossil fuels with renewables, it just produces less electricity overall. Which might be

The actual title is "0x4 reasons to write and publish", probably it got mangled somehow.

"I also have an account with xyz and there I don't have this problem" might be an effective addition.

It's absolutely possible to automate an "attested" phone with a physical robot finger, which is neither extremely complicated or expensive tech. It might be too expensive for mass-scale DDOS, but it would still be cost-effect

AI companies can just scrape the content, and since the sites don't have an exclusive license to it (it's user-generated, after all) there is little they can do against that. Actually, I'm not even sure the AI companies don&#

There are quite a few potential replacements for Reddit, but of all the projects I've seen so far, nostr checks the most boxes: 1.) They got identity right. In nostr, your identity is a key pair, which is not bound to a server like in

In the medium/long term, this would just train people to ignore those popups. Or to use a patched browser. There is simply no way to suppress content as long as there's enough demand. Somebody's always going to find a way to

Gitlab CI can build a docker image whenever you push code to your repo, and host said image in the builtin docker registry. It's not a replacement for Docker, but a very useful companion.

Solo SaaS app dev here. I found Sentry[1] to be the most valuable tool for monitoring what's going on inside my (Django/React) app. Sentry catches every exception/error in front- and backend, then collects and aggregates them

I drive A8 (Stuttgart - Munich) and A9 (Nuremberg - Munich) regularly and don't see much to complain about. Compare that to A5 here in southwest and you see what I mean... Anyway, if Saxony really has better Autobahns than Bavaria, I n

by drchaos 7y ago
It should be noted that not all Autobahns are equally well built and maintained. Even though they are called "Bundesautobahn" (federal highway), it's actually the states who are responsible for construction and maintenance. S

But does it really have to be that difficult? It's absolutely possible to build a system where you can deploy a docker container with a single click and host your own content on that. Add federation into the mix, and you'll get so

by drchaos 7y ago
Those services do not necessarily need to be publicly accessible. Think of a federated network of private servers with closed user groups, which allow to share stuff easily with selected users on other servers. The directive would probably

You'd have to audit the source code first, though, which is not a trivial thing to do.

Any plans for a web frontend? Letting my mobile remind me of things based on location is something I wanted to have for a long time, but typing stuff and organizing things is much more comfortable with a real screen + keyboard.

A better example would be a Wordpress installation. Hello World means skipping much of the important stuff, like storage and persistence. As a bonus, show how to use Gitlab for deploying and managing the app. Gitlab + Kubernetes could be th

Why that? A decent mobile site should be fine, there are quite some people (including me) who even prefer this over apps.
