justJanne , 2 months ago to Technology in Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse

The affordable Sony Xperia 10 series is really good. My new Xperia runs circles around my OG Pixel, costs basically nothing, is waterproof, has upgradable storage and a headphone jack, and besides Apple, Google and Intel, Sony is the only manufacturer that actually has working bluetooth.

justJanne , 3 months ago to Technology in A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions

It's not just office, SH and many other parts of the German government have been slowly replacing the entire O365 suite with OpenDesk, which is an open source product based on Matrix, Jitsi, LibreOffice, and a few other tools.

The goal is to have a fully integrated solution for calender, chat, calls, documents, cloud storage, etc.

My employer is developing parts of that solution and we recently switched our internal communication over to it, and tbh, it's working really well.

Now is the perfect point in time to do it, with the GDPR ruling regarding O365 and Microsoft fumbling the migration between old teams and new teams.

justJanne , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in PSA: Docker nukes your firewall rules and replaces them with its own.

You need to be able to have multiple nodes in one LAN access ports on each others' containers without exposing those to the world and without using additional firewalls in front of the nodes.

That's why kubernetes ended up removing docker support and instead recommends podman or using containerd natively.

There's no alternative for 0.0.0.0 and a firewall if you're e.g. using kubernetes.

justJanne , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in PSA: Docker nukes your firewall rules and replaces them with its own.

That assumes you're on some VPS with a hardware firewall in front.

Often enough you're on a dedicated server that's directly exposed to the internet, with those iptables rules being the only thing standing between your services and the internet.

The EU demands that alternative app stores or individual users can do exactly that.

Apple disagrees.

That's precisely why this is back in court.

justJanne , 3 months ago to Technology in EU regulators question Apple after it blocks Epic Games app store

It being totally without rules or terms is exactly what the EU demanded.

justJanne , 3 months ago to Technology in EU regulators question Apple after it blocks Epic Games app store

Why would they need to comply with Apple's ToS to publish apps outside of the app store?

justJanne , 4 months ago (edited 4 months ago) to Technology in My jaw hit the floor when I watched an AI master one of the world's toughest physical games in just six hours

It's just like those shitty recipe sites that tell you their grandma's life story for hours before giving the recipe. Get to the point, who cares about the anecdotes of some writer?

I don't want to connect with everyone always everywhere. It's just like small talk, which may be acceptable or even essential in some cultures, while considering rude and wasteful where I'm from.

Also note that even a dual boot system is leaky. A kernel level anticheat has enough power to do firmware upgrades on peripherals or the UEFI, so a badly behaving kernel level anticheat could easily take over your entire system in a way that can never be gotten rid of.
