4 years ago, I assumed, that by 2021 we would have about 50% IPv6 adoption: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14855347 Now it looks like I was wrong and we got just about 33% an…

If you run a federated server, not all contacts might use the same server. With end-to-end encryption that doesn't really matter. EDIT: Moreover, trust is not binary. So while your…

Sadly I don't. I have mine running since a while, and some things might not be state-of-the-art anymore. The server doesn't really have to support end-to-end encryption as that is …

Well, while I dream the same dream, it feels awkward asking my family and friends to pay 5€ per year so that we can share the cost of running our XMPP-Server. Currently, I pay all …

Yeah, maybe I am a bit too negative about the format itself. My problem with the Flatpak only approach was that it was kinda hard to get it to run at all and it didn't work particu…

Why is it problematic when people hide their identity? I mean, if the criticism is valid, what does it matter who said it? I think hiding the identity is not the real problem here.…

This is especially bad for projects like Linphone (open source SIP Client) which exclusively provide Flatpak-builds for Linux [1]. [1]: http://www.linphone.org/technical-corner/lin…

Well, you are comparing apples and oranges here. The equivalent AWS service would be EC2 and not S3. I know that you didn't start with that (as gprasanth put them in the same race)…

> 7. Prompt if you can Please don't. There is nothing wrong with interactive tools, but by default, they should not be. So instead of making non-interactive session possible via fl…

I still miss Wave... In my opinion, Googles biggest failure was the missing real-world federation. They promised us, that there will be a server to run on your own hardware and yet…

Nextcloud [1] (Federated Groupware) has the concept of circles [2], but yes, that's probably not what you meant with social network ;-) [1]: https://nextcloud.com [2]: https://apps…

> [...] no language barrier because so many people here speak English. I wonder how you came up with that one. From my experience (I am German myself), Germans are not good at Engl…

I am sorry, but that is no BS, just pure facts. Granted the PC is not very powerful (CPU: AMD E-350), but the story is true. When the update started, I thought 'Shit that thing did…

They probably just want to push their cloud services, so that you 'Never lose a file due to some broken update!' :-D

If you want to use Windows, just do it. But if you had to experience what it feels like when Windows thinks it is time for an automatic-forced-reboot-update which takes 4 hours the…

A great tool for choosing harmonic colors: https://color.adobe.com There are others out there, but that URL stuck to my mind.

Well, just ask the Toibe index: https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ It looks like Elixier ist by far less popular than the other discussed languages.

Recently I have become a fan of the Hetzner Cloud: https://www.hetzner.com/cloud?country=us I don't know how competitive their prices are, but I like their easy to use interface wh…

I wonder what JS dependencies FTP has...

Yeah, I really like that part: > A cloud-based brain-to-brain interface server could direct information transmission... They can barely transmit 1 bit per second with no prospect o…

Well, yes, in fact, I was complaining about the Same-Origin Policy, and CORS is just the consequence of the way the SOP works. Nevertheless, this doesn't really change the situatio…

I never really understood why we have CORS. I mean, the problem with CSRF is that some random page can trick your browser into adding its authentication token to a request which do…

In general, I agree that juniors tend to skip useful information, but it depends a bit on the technology you are working with. PHP, for example, was known to report the error for t…

While I like your way of thinking, I don't think the argument applies. The game itself doesn't possess any kind of AI and is somewhat static, more like a sudoku book: There are lot…
