- roywashere parentSure, but the whole point of self-hosting forgejo is to not use these big cloud solutions. Introducing cloudflare is a step back!
- The table lists very limited support for M1 and not even lists newer variants! I guess it was only to be expected, asahi Linux also has challenges and of course FreeBSD has less eyeballs than Linux
- Me three! mjd fanboy here
- All browsers ever implemented was XSLT 1.0, from 1999. There were 2.0 and 3.0 for which there is an open source Java based implementation (Saxon) but this never made it into libxslt and/or browsers!
- I think this is not too weird? I write text messages all day on my phone. Every holiday I keep a dairy of my travel in a Google doc. While I prefer a proper keyboard I also appreciate the way I can just type some stuff on my phone while in a bus or waiting for a train, or at night in my hotel room. This adds up to significant documents. And then indeed I prefer the writing over mindlessly ‘consuming content’.
- The project got a grant from NLnet. I think they do a great job, they gave grants to many nice projects (and also some projects that are going nowhere, but I guess that is all in the game). NLnet really deserves praise for what they are doing!! https://nlnet.nl/thema/NGI0CommonsFund.html
- Plus TIOBE had Perl enter the top 10 suddenly this year but I do not see any new developers. And Ada too! Where are all those Ada programmers?
- And who started Gnome Desktop! That always strikes me as funny. That he made the ultimate tool for in the terminal, and then move on to write a desktop environment
- Also, Apache 2.4.57 is exactly the version of Apache you get when you'd run RHEL 9 / AlmaLinux / Rocky 9. In that case, the OS would provide backports of the CVE fixes for you and the banner still reads Apache 2.4.57!
- I’m surely happy to not live in the UK at the moment. And Indonesia of course. If I would live in one of these countries I’d be using VPN. And maybe in the (not so distant) future this is preferable in the US too.
> We're trying to build public opinion against that.
Good on you!
But to be honest; it seems that it would be in Mullvads interest if the US starts requiring “open encryption” for internet services! Then more people would feel the need for VPNs
- I like it!!! I am using Apache mod_md on Debian for personal project. That is working fine but when setting up a new site it somehow required two Apache restarts which is not super smooth
- That is not how it works. The ‘cookie law’ is not about the cookies, it is about tracking. You can store data in cookies or in local storage just fine, for instance for a language switcher or a theme setting like here without the need for a cookie banner. But if you do it for ads and tracking, then this does require consent and thus a ‘cookie banner’. The storage medium is not a factor.
- This is sort of like a bug I hit last year when the mysql docker container suddenly started requiring x86-64-v2 after a patch level upgrade and failed to start: https://github.com/docker-library/mysql/issues/1055
- Raymii is one of my heroes! :-) great and accessible hacking on this device
- I also got contacted via LinkedIn by a “normal” profile of a Dutch guy with normal connections, that was even connected to people I know, offering me the same. I politely suggested it’s not a great idea and declined
- Also, it is slightly outdated as it does not incorporate RFC9110 which renames some status codes which previously were WebDAV-only:
- My company also uses MS auth + 2fa for everything. Even signing into corporate G-suite :-). But I do not like the Microsoft Authenticator - I previously had issues where it would not show the number - and I was able to switch to a different TOTP provider. It’s a bit buried in the menus but possible
- It’s a balance. I guess they needed to target low end because they were 4 years too late. If they did this around the time of Android 1.5 or even 4, those phones were not so expensive and they could have targeted that or similar hardware.
I guess around 2012 I bought a Firefox OS phone from a Spanish company for I believe 150 euros, which was quite reasonable. FirefoxOS was unusable though. Plus it lacked WhatsApp so I could not use it as a daily driver. In 2025 I would also need to have a banking app on mobile so it’s impossible to use an “alternative” phone OS for me
- Pretix is a very interesting piece of open source software for selling event tickets. It’s nice to see them venturing out to writing printer drivers for ticket printers! All the best for them.
- If Chrome would need to be sold off, or Android, or Maps, those can only become even more pressured to be monetized for user data, I’m afraid
- What car do you drive? Then I make sure to not buy it
- In this case, the Lyons were not providing each other jobs. But they shared insights into which companies had cool tech. And they inspired each other with the nice work stations! Much different. And not really 'nepotism'.
- Fosstodon, the popular instance that hosts many FOSS open source software developer accounts, might get blocked by multiple Mastodon instances because of an alleged alt-right moderator on their instance. This sucks and I'm unsure what to think about this
- Clone meant, at least back in the day, that it was compatible with software written for the IBM XT. There were many clones with more ram, 3.5” disk drives, or better CPU (NEC V20) than the original IBM XT but they all ran MS DOS and WordPerfect and Accolade Test Drive and any other software you would expect so they were considered ‘XT clones’
- That reminds me on the time the FSF moved, they changed their address, and the open source product I worked on had to change their address in the license notices in our product:
https://github.com/moritz/otrs/commit/e845575e1848fd0124fb8d...
And of course, as happens more often, this issue was raised to us by Debian developers, who care a great deal about 'correctness'
- I'm not even sure why you would point this out.
I'm also quite certain there were also no USB flash drives, SD card support, Wifi networking and e-ink displays in the early 1990s. It's not a replica in any way, it does not claim to be that. Just a cool compute device!

- Just for transparency, are you by any chance a member of this self-hosting team or a sentry employee? Is it a coincidence that your keybase name is georghendrik according to your profile, and the painter _Georg Hendrik_ Breitner painted a picture called "Sentry"? https://www.demesdagcollectie.nl/en/collection/hwm0055
