"I give you $50 if you vote for me, you'll get it when I win the ballot" If someone is willing to sell their vote in the first place, they have zero incentive to vote for another c…

Not OP, but https://dawarich.app/ seems to do the same (open source and self-hostable, also has an iOS App).

> Consuming and training on the whole internet doesn't make you smarter than the average intelligence of the internet. This is only true as long as you are not able to weigh the qu…

This is pretty interesting, I think you should do two things right now: 1. add a message box stating that it is experimental and has only a very small set of companies right now 2.…

If npm or Ubuntu would deliberately replace a package with their own implementation, without giving you notice or making this opt-in, would you call that a supply-chain attack? I w…

It's standard for Euro amounts and before that for many (most?) European currencies.

One could argue that at least this specific tactic would not be possible without the state granting a monopoly on "intellectual property". Without that, nothing would hinder AMD fr…

alias wget='curl --wget', then?

How do you handle downtime due to project/package/os upgrades?

I do run a pretty similar setup for some projects, and in general I tend to agree with the author, especially when bootstrapping cloud services can cost quite some bucks for medioc…

Technically true, but still misleading, as the total production has gone down significantly: 2022: 491,8 TWh 2023: 436,8 TWh So Germany is not replacing fossil fuels with renewable…

The actual title is "0x4 reasons to write and publish", probably it got mangled somehow.

Yeah, surely prohibition will work this time. /s

"I also have an account with xyz and there I don't have this problem" might be an effective addition.

It's absolutely possible to automate an "attested" phone with a physical robot finger, which is neither extremely complicated or expensive tech. It might be too expensive for mass-…

AI companies can just scrape the content, and since the sites don't have an exclusive license to it (it's user-generated, after all) there is little they can do against that. Actua…

There are quite a few potential replacements for Reddit, but of all the projects I've seen so far, nostr checks the most boxes: 1.) They got identity right. In nostr, your identity…

In the medium/long term, this would just train people to ignore those popups. Or to use a patched browser. There is simply no way to suppress content as long as there's enough dema…

Gitlab CI can build a docker image whenever you push code to your repo, and host said image in the builtin docker registry. It's not a replacement for Docker, but a very useful com…

> "How do you stop people obtaining it and using it through their buddies on the internet" - quite simply, by telling them they'd go to jail, or get a hefty fine, for doing that. T…

Solo SaaS app dev here. I found Sentry[1] to be the most valuable tool for monitoring what's going on inside my (Django/React) app. Sentry catches every exception/error in front- a…

I drive A8 (Stuttgart - Munich) and A9 (Nuremberg - Munich) regularly and don't see much to complain about. Compare that to A5 here in southwest and you see what I mean... Anyway, …

It should be noted that not all Autobahns are equally well built and maintained. Even though they are called "Bundesautobahn" (federal highway), it's actually the states who are re…

But does it really have to be that difficult? It's absolutely possible to build a system where you can deploy a docker container with a single click and host your own content on th…

Those services do not necessarily need to be publicly accessible. Think of a federated network of private servers with closed user groups, which allow to share stuff easily with se…
