Copy/paste this to your local news organization and your representative in congress.

> then began responding to come again manually

Presumably they meant to write "to some again manually". On the one hand I'm kind of surprised when typos make it into major publications these days. Now, it's kind of a reassuring sign that an article was written and reviewed by humans though.

> uvx or uv tool weren’t much better as that posed new problems where a user wouldn’t get upgrades.

Couldn't the user just run `uv tool upgrade <tool_name>`?

Kdenlive is awesome. I am only a hobbyist but I cancelled my subscription to Premiere when I found it.

> Gaming works astonishingly well on Linux these days

They have certainly made a lot of progress, but there are many of us that will be stuck unless all the new AAA titles are supported. Battlefield 6 is a notable recent example of a wildly popular game that you can't play on a Steam Deck.

Seems like it's really just the anti-cheat that is holding things up. I wish every game studio out there didn't have to come up with their own anti-cheat system. Is this something Valve could solve once and for all with their OS & platform? That seems like something that would make the 30% tax a lot more appealing to game studios.

> Curious what the purpose of calling a pay phone is? (wasn't possible in my country)

If you want to let somebody know you can't talk right now but you will call them back in 10 minutes, this makes it possible without having them use another quarter (coin currency in US) to call you back in 10 minutes, or requiring them to feed quarters in while you wait on hold for 10 minutes.

Also plenty of other reasons that we've all seen in spy movies :)

I've got 18TB on Glacier and it costs $2.80/day

I've only tested partial restores from Glacier since it is expensive. I've got a raidz2 array locally as insurance against having to restore from a backup.

I've been using Nextcloud for years, but I've never used the web UI. Windows desktop app for syncing my Documents folder, and Android app for synchronizing a few folders on my phone, as well as the "append only" upload of my photo reel that something like SyncThing doesn't support. Works great, never had any issues with Nextcloud. The real value is in the companion apps.

I use a cron job to back up Nextcloud to B2 and S3 Glacier.

Never heard of this before, what a great project! I wish my Roborock QV 35A was supported. Still considering sponsoring the project though, because what a great initiative it is!

First thing I thought of as well! Despite being short lived, MarchFIRST was influential on Apple's branding and comeback.

> Bundling view and controller in the same file

It reminds me of how PHP development used to be back in the day. That's not meant as a bad thing, I always liked how simple it made the development process for the right size project.

I liked the idea of Bookshop.org but I was surprised when I ordered something from it, it shipped from somewhere 2,000 miles away from me. I had the misunderstanding it was going to ship from a local bookshop that was actually local to me.

That is unfortunate there's so many Redis instances out there that not only are exposed to the public internet (330,000) and don't have authentication configured (60,000). I'm guessing those folks probably didn't even realize their Redis was public.

There are so many tutorials out there for things like Docker Compose that cause people to bind a service to 0.0.0.0 with a port open to the public internet.

I think my text highlighting habit started in the late 90s when the prominent N64 website (what was the name of it??) would have text intentionally "hidden" on the page in the same color as the background, so you had to highlight to see it.

Ticker symbol should be RGB! Apparently NASDAQ ticker symbols are typically 4 letters though.
