I have the same problem :(

No need to visit it. Unless you have a "invite code", you can not do anything. There is a "join waitlist" link that just goes to the frontpage...

PHP is old tech, but works fine. The language api is somewhat inconsistent due to legacy weaknesses and compatibility. That said, I prefer old-style PHP (like it was written in ver…

I have my own domain (that I share with relatives), and use mailbox.org for hosting it. I chose them after a rather lengthy search. Reasons for choosing them(pros) - multiple "paym…

One, in Denmark, we have a system called MitID (basically SSO login for public services (and private services can use it too). Even though there are other options (hardware totp do…

Your reply is (respectfully) analog to : "Why do I care about this ssh security thing? I have always used telnet and it works fine." In X11, there is the underlying expection is, t…

Oh year and the "diapers one" is also not quiet right https://newshavn.duarteocarmo.com/5be0716b00833a04bbd1406880... Inger Støjberg with new concept: One will be able to smell the…

I understand your idea and like it, but... The resulting headlines (at least) are pretty misleading. Examples: https://newshavn.duarteocarmo.com/482308c4511050464f22b4f40d... The A…

No.

I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/ . After minimal setup, it just works(tm). You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to th…

In Denmark, we have a common login system called MitID (translated: MyID), which is used by all bank, insurance company, the governmental digital mail system (not email, but pdf's …

That is really hard, as there are no such things as columns in PDFs, only text starting at different (x,y) positions. Hence most (if not all) programs export the text in the order …

The software on mainframes only shines in reliability and the fact that the machines have been build for money transaction from the start. For example doing "decimal" math (if you …

If it is readonly shared-nothing queries, I am sure the hardware I have in my flat can do that as well.. The hard parts are updates in a shared system with a single consistent "vie…

Remember inertia goes both ways. As soon as you have a large system "in the cloud" or otherwise "distributed" (also only in your shed). Rewriting your system to a mainframe archite…

It also gives you the opportunity to use their mainframes advantages to the very max. Not the "common feature set" but the very "best features" you can get out of your tech choice.…

Legacy is mainly a marketing term for someone wanting a piece of an existing, big market. It also usually implies that you expect it to be closed down and replaced...

First of all, I find I kinda funny that you call banking, retail and insurance "legacy industries". I would rather be without Netflix and Google, than banking and food ... but each…

For me, the magic trick was getting up the same time every day even in the weekends (almost no exceptions). After a few weeks of zombie-state I got naturally tired at an appropriat…

RDX is diskbased, not tape based (that is the D in the name).. https://buy.hpe.com/us/en/storage/disk-storage-systems/remov...

Not to forget book-keeping.... In the EU for example VAT handling (and associated payments to the gov)

I would say it depends on what you put into the word "refuse". If the person was blindly refusing it, they are likely not good. But I do refuse it after careful consideration (100+…

I would prefer the one who refuses to use AI. Chances are that that developer will be less intellectually lazy. I have played around with chatgpt and coding (I even have the paid v…

how do you do that, also through qodem or ?

Mine is "git commit", as I don't like to customize the hell out of my multiple and often changing work computers, for a touch typist the extra letters are maybe a single second of …
