I think the two of you are thinking/talking about two different things. In most workplaces before ~2020 individual teams had designated desks/islands - all team members were sitting next to each other, actually every individual ha

Yes - literally just pick the right Caddy (or similar) image with Let's Encrypt client included - and you can simply add a tag/label to your docker compose files for each of self hosted services to get a real SSL, that auto renewe

That description sounds like every New Years Eve in The Netherlands. Few days ago a law that forbids non professionals to set off fireworks started applying... We'll see if that makes any difference.

While I agree with you on ideally having a dumb TV - being able to install TailScale on your TV and then using your exit node in another country (to watch that other countries local IPTV) is a really nice convenience. And you can no longer

Expat/kennismigrant here - it's same "ends up late and over budget" for literally every country (and private businesses). What Dutch government/politicians seems to be "ahead" compared to other countries -

ADHD brain just recalled that similar concept was used for traffic jams being sent along FM radio signal. Not talking about stuff that would automatically change the FM station to the one with traffic announcements. Our ~2012 Škoda Octavia

I recently learned that captions on BBC are teletext based (page 888) so I turned them on and got surprised that it's still working that way - especially considering I'm watching it basically via IPTV (using Dutch KPNs Android Sma

If you're thinking about Linux/Gentoo - but don't want to spend a lot of time for maintaining/updating and most importantly not need time to fix stuff that broke because you didn't update it in months... I would sug

Let me just leave it here... With Gentoo you get to choose SystemD or no SystemD ;)

Again that reasoning falls apart because they offer free Windows version. So basically those academic/small companies are incentivised to switch to Windows (or use Wine/Proton) to use this software? And that's aside the fact

And for the things that aren't in official portage nor one of 100s of other repositories - you basically just drop an ebuild file (that LLM can do for you ) into your own local repo. There's already tooling for using say .deb or g

Gentoo has pre built binaries for years now - you can be totally lazy about that ... And still benefit from packages/system being smaller/faster because they are not built to cater for all possibilities. And you can still override

And at the same time, at least for last few years - you can also get the same (same but different) experience/convenience of having binaries available. The Gentoo profiles mentioned in another comment is what still allows the system to

I don't see how that particular line of thinking applies when: 1) They continue to have a free version for Windows 2) They continue to have a version for Linux I just can't see that cost of having a free Linux version (on top havi

How/what are you basing your "sweets/desert impacts my sleep more than a drink or two" on? I was waking up an hour or more before the alarm (so waking up <=6AM with 7AM alarm). And I thought my sleep was good - after

What do you mean by "stack" MRs? Just like with plain git - in GitLab you can merge a branch that has multiple separate commits in it. And you can also merge (e.g. topical/feature) branches into one branch - and then merge th
