I see your point about the disconnect between the rhetoric and what we actually see in production. Perhaps "regression" is a strong word, though, IMHO I tend to see it as a very sl…

> Wasn't there some talk about the pressing need for European digital sovereignty recently? At FOSDEM, we discuss this at great length. There has been some movement, and I am optim…

Rerouting. Not that it completely takes over the route ofc, but that (potential) ad revenue is a metric just like traffic, speed limits et.c. that gets considered in the decision m…

Don't they already to this with maps routing? I thought this was the norm.

With cryptographic keys, normally stored on a smartphone. BankID[0] is the most common solution, but there are others. I personally use biometric 2fa to log in, and PIN to sign con…

I was surprised too to need it in front of RDS (but not on vanilla, as you pointed out).

Does it handle both recurring events and recurrence? E.g. move the lawn every other week vs pay rent on the 17th every month. If I go a week overdue on rent I still need to pay the…

I thought at first that this would be Holes[0], a novel by Louis Sachar. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holes_(novel)

stoically, the maintainer and creator of this extension unfortunately passed in early 2023. There's a new fork available[0], linked from github[1]. I briefly discussed this extensi…

The jargon files[0] are also a fun old source. I particularly liked the stories about Magic and Mel. They are all under Appendix A. [0]: http://catb.org/jargon/html/index.html

Ente looks like Immich[0] (which I self-host for myself and family) with e2ee. I like non-e2ee because if something breaks then the files are stored as-is on disk for easy retrieva…

Firefox Multi-Account Containers ("container tabs") together with Temporary Containers[0]. Every tab is as isolated and ephemeral as possible unless there's a need. I also use prof…

That's what I think, and also what I think I wrote. Sorry if it's unclear, I'm not a native English speaker.

No, upside-down, or rather rotated 180°. You have rows 1-8 and columns a-h (which are usually written in lower case, as upper case are used for piece value). h1 and a8 are the whit…

That would've been impressive for sure! A somewhat recent world record[1] I just found shows a blindfolded simul for 48 boards, with 80% win! (All boards correctly turned, I'd expe…

We did notice immediately, but we had the first board to play following a grand speaker introduction, and we just went with it instead of resetting the board with all eyes on us an…

I played Kasparov in 2017, in a setting similar to Capablanca in the ingress of the article. Whilst I managed 50+ moves, he was sometimes struggling in a way I wouldn't have expect…

I'd love to arrive to FOSDEM in one of these! (Oporto-Bruxelles, written on the map).

Try Sorry, you need Java to press this button. I had some buttons like that back in the day, with animations, sound effects and all, geocities-esque. The computer almost grinded to…

OT but is there a reason one would not like TED talks? Your parenthesis made me feel it could be controversial (comparable to social media).

I've implemented something very similar at work, this was a nice write-up. Biggest differences we're doing is to use Welford's algorithm[0] to calculate a running variance, so we c…

Same thing with kitchen appliances, but not limited to Facebook. I'm not going to buy another refrigerator for at least 10 years, but still I'm treated as Mr Fridge.
