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)

Sure, there were electric cars. But if I remember correctly, Tesla was the first to deliver the whole next-gen package with an every day, everywhere car, plus charging stations plus the whole automation. If you wanted that, there was no way around Tesla for quite a while.

Teslas were the “best”, as in the only option for what they did. They were never the “best”, as in better than existing products for what they did.

Being first to market for such a long time was an incredible feat and it speaks volumes that their position isn’t much, much stronger at the end of it.

1Password can’t fail that hard easily. They’ve done great write-ups to compare their architecture to that of LastPass. Long story short: it’s the secret key that protects you: https://blog.1password.com/what-the-secret-key-does/

As you mentioned, with Fedora the best alternatives are immutable spins. Updating means downloading a new base image, applying overlays and additional installations to it and on the next reboot you start from that image. You can configure it to keep as many previous versions as you need and boot into those directly on startup. Since you never change your current image once it’s built, you can’t break a known good system. You can only ever break your next version and in that case, just boot the previous.

I’ve created an Ansible playbook that configures a vanilla Kinoite the way I want it. No need to back up the system if I can recreate it with less than a megabyte of text files. Secrets are in my password vault, personal files are in my personal cloud and get synced to and from the laptop continuously. I would never go back to backing up system files as opposed to recreating it with a playbook. That seems so wasteful in hindsight.

Flatpak with Fedora 39 must have come a long way. Almost every tutorial with workarounds or discussion of broken features you can find online is now obsolete. It just works out of the box, especially under KDE. Mostly. That makes searching for actual issues extremely hard because I find myself chasing down paths of issues that have long been resolved.

Fresh and most up to date kinoite installation last week, based on fedora 39. The problem is not Linux, it’s proprietary codecs and Firefox’ hesitation to enable hardware decoding on Linux by default. It’s not difficult to get it to work but it simply does not work out of the box.

Linux, browsers, and hardware accelerated videos on the web don’t go along well out of the box. Which is a total shame.

The Tesla truck is already there and just needs to be built at scale.

Full self driving has been fully achieved in 2017 and will reach end consumers next year (as claimed by Tesla every single year since then).

It is desirable that SpaceX rockets fail hard instead of succeeding in their missions.

Musk has truly mastered this principle and only now are people getting impatient. Most investors still regard him as too big to fail. Either Elon will be able to present sufficient success in the next few years or that bubble will burst very violently. He has almost used up the good will he has built up over years (earned our not).

Exactly this. This procedure is so common that you need to take care in situations where you don’t want the headers, as some tools set them per default.

Maybe the scene is set in the UK.

Who asked about Threema?

The comment above me started that topic. The one I responded to and you seemingly haven’t read.

Threema is very security focused at the expense of user experience. You lost your private key? Tough luck, here’s a new account and everyone will have to verify your new account again. I have had conversations with friends over five or six of their accounts because they use threema just like WhatsApp. I stopped recommending threema to folks without a basic technical understanding. Signal is more than good enough for their needs.

“Pete Complete” is just amazing in everything he does. Very well planned and narrated let’s plays with the goal of achieving 100% competition of a game in one playthrough.

I particularly enjoyed the Mass Effect series. Mass Effect 3 is almost complete now.

He also played Mutant Year Zero, XCOM, different RimWorld expansions and more.

This is not correct. Modern game engines support both concepts.

You have to go out of your way to even find Tesla charging stations in Germany. They are comparatively rare and far in between.

Wireguard is very lightweight and it just works. No overly complex setup, tools, matching protocols, algorithms, versions, etc. It just works and it’s simple UDP traffic. It’s the first self hosted VPN that I actually love and that works on all my machines, mobiles, VMs with just a config file to fine tune what should go over the line.

Yes, I agree. This use case likely wasn’t considered when the law was written. We’ll see how things turn out in the future because at some point we will have enough very knowledgeable people regarding GDPR in the community who are willing and even keen on steering the project in the right direction towards compliance.
