I've been reasonably happy with Runbox. Decent features, pricing, and servers in Norway. The webmail isn't great, but I don't really use it. If you must have encryption, I think th…

Cutting videos with copy can result in some weird playback issues if the cuts aren't on keyframes. For manually cutting up videos, I use LosslessCut, which I think uses ffmpeg unde…

This was addressed in the accepted answer: > rapid rewarming from open campfires or other sources of dry heat caused so much devastation.....Dry heat from ....open fires....cannot …

I wonder if open sourcing it might have been a low(er)-level engineering decision, so there wasn't any marketing/PR awareness.

> I don't want to do the math, so I'll ask Perplexity to look it up These numbers are totally wrong, and it takes about 30 seconds to look it up. It closed at 589.95 on 2024-10-11 …

Come on, I think you're just looking for things to get upset about (and not engaging with the content in any meaningful way). Assigning specific (and colorful) names to scams/cons …

Just in case anyone else hasn't heard of "Opindia" before (the second link): > OpIndia is an Indian right-wing news website that frequently publishes misinformation. Founded in Dec…

Oh good, we’re not the only ones. The rest of my time is spent saying I can’t help people fix problems with some old microservice my team “supports”

Answer: They aren't. The article doesn't mention a single instance of anyone actually ingesting borax, just "some TikTok users are encouraging viewers to add borax to their water"

I usually do a lot better than the advertised MPG on my Mazda

I mean everything is copyrighted anyway. It's harder to give up copyright than to keep it, so the main point is despite copyright protections, most companies do not publish their c…

Seriously, this 0ver nonsense makes it so much harder to deal with upgrading packages. Who cares you bump the major version frequently

I use OpenSUSE a lot for both desktop and servers, and it’s great. The biggest downside though is that it probably has the least friendly and helpful community of any Linux or BSD …

Fedora (if you’re okay updating frequently), OpenSUSE

For regular users, this has been expected. Uploading content broke (or was disabled?) late last year I believe? So nothing new has been uploaded since then, but the company never s…
