barsquid , 10 days ago to Technology in Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission

Begging people to subscribe to their own hardware will have increased results when they can show you your OneDrive is full. It probably will get them more money than it loses them. They are utterly thirsty for subscription revenue.

Embrace, extend, extinguish is an attitude for more than one company I guess.

Yes. All the free market economy guys are making assumptions about efficient markets and infinite choices, but none of that is true. But the reality is laborers don't even have the ability to leave a shitty job even with alternatives available, like just interviewing would use up a precious sick day or cost them hours of wage.

Twitter has always allowed and coddled "standard conservative discussions."

barsquid , 12 days ago to Technology in Finnish startup says it can speed up any CPU by up to 100x using a tiny piece of hardware with no recoding

Just finished the article, it's not for free at all. Chips need to be designed to use it. I'm skeptical again. There's no point IMO. Nobody wants to put the R&D into massively parallel CPUs when they can put that effort into GPUs.

Putting the claim instead of the reality in the headline is journalistic malpractice. 2x for free is still pretty great tho.

Oh, gotcha. Yeah they are shitheads. It honestly should be illegal to make an account for someone using an unverified email.

Report them to the CFPB. They're forced to have an actual human review and respond.

Oh neat, I was actually planning to set that up to store scripts and some projects I'm working on, I'll give the tickets a try then.

We built Vikunja with speed in mind - every interaction takes less than 100ms.

Their heads are certainly in the right place. I'll check this out, thank you!

barsquid , 13 days ago to Selfhosted in Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome?

Do you host your ticketing system? I'd like to try one out. My TODO markings in my notes app don't end up organized enough to be helpful. My experience is with JIRA, which I despise with every fiber of my being.

barsquid , 13 days ago to Selfhosted in Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome?

Docker/Podman or any containerized solution is basically the easiest way to get really nice maintenance properties like: updating one app won't break others, won't take down the whole system, can be moved from machine to machine.

Containers are a learning curve but I think very worth it for home setups. Compared to something like Kubernetes which I would say is less worth it unless you already know or want to learn Kubernetes.

Just narcissists lying about shit as usual.

Imagine being the wealthiest person on the planet and deciding to burn half of it to ensure that Nazis have an audience for their hot takes. Elon could have bought entire parks of grass to touch instead.

barsquid , 14 days ago to Technology in Microsoft Edge nags users with a 3D banner to change Windows 11's default browser

It's not wildly different IMO, but yeah it is different enough that you might not be interested.

Installing system packages means layering a commit on top of your base distro, so they urge most CLI stuff to be done in containers. GUI apps tend to be installed as Flatpaks, that part might be familiar.

If you're mostly working with Rider and can easily set it up to work with dev containers, the learning curve might not be too steep.
