It feel like so long since I’ve seen someone use this template correctly, so you’ve got that going for you 👍

Given the sub, I was prepared to be surprised that Solarpunk was one of these difficult topics.

What names has this process come up with?

I liked that you didn’t bring up the email comparison until fairly late - lots of people reach for it very early in their explanations, but it’s so different to what the Fediverse offers that I think it just confuses people.

I raised my eyebrows clear off my head when you said that the different instances interact “seamlessly”, but you did loop back and give a more nuanced/honest account. Good stuff!

I thank the driver too, but I don’t think they’d take it as a compliment if I showed relief that they didn’t crash.

I decided on Symfonium as well - especially once I realised the author, Tolriq, was the same on who’d made Yatse, my favourite Kodi remote. Tolriq is an indie developer and always has very fair pricing and excellent support, so I’m happy to pay (once, per app) for a polished experience.

The way that all the copies of the content link to the original post should be some kind of SEO hack. I wonder if it’s triggering specific rules in search engines that detect it and downrank it as cheating.

Or scrambled all of their posts after APIgate (or whatever we’re calling it). Perhaps they came here, which means OP is right in saying we can be a new source of useful answers.

What is Joe short for (in the coffee sense) in your mind? I know there’s a few theories, and the jamoke one seems the most plausible to me.

Why, who’s Joseph M Basile?

It’s irrational, which just appears random (which is why I said pseudorandom).

I don’t see why not, it’s just numbers, which is all we store most data as.

You could use it as a source of pseudorandom numbers to encrypt an infinite data steam, e.g. we’ll encrypt using e, starting at position 40468.

So they’ve just decided that all devices now support HEVC (H.265) and they’ll just disable transcoding? My media centre is on a Pi 3B and that can’t play h265 smoothly. If I had a Synology I’d be pretty annoyed!

Your argument is that a single backup is sufficient? I disagree, and I think that so would most in the selfhosted and datahoarder communities.

What work is actually involved in the Software Bill of Materials stuff? When I search for “Freebsd SBOM” I mostly get references to this news story.

There seems to be tools that generate SBoM reports automatically, is it just a case of adding plugins into the build pipeline?

It’s understood the same as a middle finger would be, except more Britishly.

Growing up, the story was that it came from when longbows were peak weaponry and the French were chopping the fingers off of captured English archers - the V sign was saying something like “fuck you, I can still shoot you”. There’s insult/defiance/threat in there but it’s not like throwing down the gauntlet (to be clear, we don’t do that gesture any more).

This makes sense.

Ah, so it’s not even possible with a different front-end (unless it stores extra data).
