Comaps works for free with android auto. I did buy OsmAnd a long time ago, but have since used the OsmAnd~ and needed an OSM client for a car. I like OsmAnd because it is very powe…

I do something similar, but simpler. E.g., for rolling daily backups, something like ls -l *.backup | mail -s "backup done" me@foo.dk, someoneelse@bar.dk even for successful cron j…

Pet food might be more lucrative. Or fish food. But it is not a goldmine. Dogs, cats etc have better teeth and like to eat a lot of meat, that humans generally does not eat: rabbit…

But you would not have had Google in you portfolio. The bubble burst in 2000-2001, Google IPO was in 2004. The S&P500 also did not do very well at the time. That is the problem wit…

That is the problem with this kind of stuff. If it was only used by aging parents it might be OK. But it will be used by everyone. Even if OP manage to somehow prevent abuse, other…

Or unless the capacity of you harddisk is limited, filling up with huge snap packages. Or you need something that is broken by snap. I helped a user after thunderbird after an upgr…

As someone noted, there is the issue of jurisdiction. But Daigle probably did consider being liable and what would be morally justified. It must have been tempting to try to use th…

And they manage to make it even more crazy by also comparing it to average external temperatures. == The Victoria Line average temperature in August last year was 60% higher in tem…

In my experience, OsmAnd is mostly slow for very long routes. Maybe it is a matter of quality. Because of course you can find routes fast if they are not the fastest or best routes…

It it not just because of underlying OSM data. Navigation apps such as OrganicMaps and OsmAnd filter OSM data, and package it in way that takes up less space. I.e., it will omit in…

But even real translation is bad. There has been some efforts to make computer languages with local (non-english) keywords. Most have fortunately already failed horribly. But it st…

Yes, and I use or have used them all. The wikimedia app could be improved a lot to support OSM. It is a bit of a hassle to take a picture, upload it to commons, then add both categ…

It seems to me that Mozilla is gambling with the privacy of their users. The gamble might be worth it, even though I do not think so. But even if it somehow was a good gamble, that…

yes. I do outdoor sports, mostly rowing. My phone is not that waterproof, I will not risk dropping it in the water. I would not be able to use anyway. I really like to do things wi…

IC5 is not the fifth generation of intercity trains. It just has 5 carriages in a train set. IC3 was the first generation of this kind of trains, having 3 carriages in a train set:…

Interesting. I have an old nook in the drawer. I made a picture frame project a long time ago (> 15 years according to file timestamps) https://agol.dk/elgaard/picframe.html I thin…

I especially find veterinary homeopathy troublesome. How would placebo even work here? Maybe the owners of dogs and cats believe that their pets are having less pains.

Something is not working. Tried Danish-Dutch names. Most suggestions are not Danish at all. Some of those e.g., Coen, Derk, Gerbrand in the "Usage of X in different languages / cul…

The two HDMI ports are worth it for me. I have a project with Raspberry PI 400 in multiseat kiosk mode. It has two monitors, and an extra keyboard and mouse. The microHmdi->HDMI ca…

the easiest would be to add to ~/.ssh/config: host *.*.*.* hostname 64:ff9:%h (without the empty line) Also work with scp, rsync,

No, that is the problem. They worked with less and less websites until there were none left. I needed to install some packages, which I could just put on my own server. And I have …

plus these individual devices will live for a long time. I recently had to setup a non-encrypted website because I have a few old devices that can no longer do HTTPS. IPv4 on local…

It used to be common everywhere. From my point of view, free WiFi became normal when it became less important because of affordable mobile internet. From the point of view of the h…

Parenthood usually does have some sexual aspects. Multigenerational households are another popular option to deal with economic challenges.

But those are completely different uses of a storage format. Library of congress considers if someone a 100 years from now could write a new importer in whatever langauge/AI they m…
