Thanks. This is pushing the limits of my current understanding, but unless I’m mistaken, this reads like ‘anyone who chooses may hijack part of your domain at any time if you both use cloudflare’. Sounds crazy.

Sure, there’s alternatives: Aws, Google cloud and Azure all have their own cdns if you want to use those

It’s not that you’re wrong. It’s more that I don’t understand what you’re proposing as an alternative. To add to the comments here pointing out that that’s how CDNs work: for many designs of website, the CDN essentially is the website, being served from a cache by the provider. Even when this isn’t the case, you would normally have a load balancer in front of whatever was serving your website so that if you need to swap out the server for maintenance upgrade, etc. you don’t need to tell who your visitors to go to a different address. In that case, your certificate would be attached to load balancer rather than the server behind it.

If this was a 1990s and I were trying to run my own server on my own hardware in my bedroom, you might have a point, but please explain how you would implement an alternative in any meaningful way today.

If you follow the links, you’ll see that it’s essentially a new name for/ release of CBL-Mariner. from the GitHub readme:

CBL-Mariner is an internal Linux distribution for Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure and edge products and services.

I think you need to read it as following on from

60. Turn the Moorgate line back into a Tube line

That takes us here

Blocking over 300 including ALL town/city communities because they are ALWAYS negative BUT Lemmy Connect also lets me filter (hide) on regex for communities and posts. This is invaluable to me- I was going insane trying to keep up with the arms race of cross posts to identical or near identical named communities on endless new instances.

Posts filter:

/elon musk/, /heathcliff without heathcliff/, /neuralink/, /furry/

Communities filter:

/politics/, /news/, /meme/, /humor/, /hentai/, /liberal/, /communis/, /conservativ/, /socialis/, /reddit/, /cursed/, /monero/, /moe/, /dank/, /yiff/, /shitty/, /horror/

And if my work use gitlab and I don’t code at weekends?

The thing is the VS code handles everything (with extensions). If I want to use pandoc, or CSV to markdown table, python linting, Go, whatever, there’s extensions that can handle all of these equally well and consistently, for example format on save.

If I want to use jetbrains then the pycharm for python, intelliJ for Java, Goland for golang… Then there’s licencing depending on whether I’m using a personal licence or corporate laptop, whether I have to get a licence from my employer etc.

For me it’s not so much that it’s so good, but that it works with everything in a consistent and obvious way plus I can install it on any machine I might be using.

I think it is better to have a small number of posts with real engagement than a large number of posts with no engagement on them at all

I’d check that you’re actually installing the most appropriate package. For instance on Ubuntu there’s kid3 which is a MP3 tag application that will pull in the entire k desktop environment. Or you can install kid3-qt which packages its own version of those dependencies and doesn’t pull an entire desktop environment in if you’re using a non-kde environment.

‘just’? 2018 was five years ago

Link is broken?

Not actually rolled out everywhere just yet. Current plus subscriber, UK, Android, not seeing it in app or an app update

Connect. I have jerboa and sync installed but the regex filters in connect are are a killer feature and I’m quite happy with the app

Its belly baking in the hot sun

This needs to be the top comment in my view.

Pretty much any new laptop running any operating system will be able to adequately do word processing but they will all feel different and they will be a range of price points. This is why involving your wife who will be the user for this device is critical. One of the key advantages with Apple is that you can try out every current model in person at an Apple store. I don’t know how easy it is for you to get to one, but if you have the option I would definitely recommend sending your wife to do that.

We keep hearing about ‘productivity’ in this context. Let’s explore that - back in the days when people were 5 days/week in the office, supervisors and managers concentrated on attendance and punctuality. They still could but now they are focusing on being in the office. In both cases these are proxy measures- they don’t directly measure output. What is this ‘productivity’ here? Because the actual verifiable data tells the opposite story

SystemD replaced a variety of Linux init systems across different distros almost 10 years ago now but it is still resented by a significant and vocal section of the Linux community.

Devuan is a fork of the Debian Linux distribution that uses sysvinit, runit or OpenRC instead of systemd.

Realistically, at this point, non-SystemD distros are of niche interest. Devuan is one of the distros available in that niche

The example of Amazon’s mandated RTO has been much discussed elsewhere as a notable exception to that company’s normally data-driven approach. As I saw commented elsewhere:

“If we have data to show that mandated RTO is more productive then let’s share and act on that. If we’re going with opinions then let’s use mine”

The elephant in the room here is that ‘the data’ doesn’t exist, and for good reason: ‘Productivity’ is subjective in most jobs to begin with, and even where it isn’t Remote vs Office is not a significant variable.

Consider some ‘traditional’ proxy measures for productivity- punctuality and attendance. It’s pretty clear that if someone isn’t at work then they aren’t productive and many employers will put employees through formal processes to dismissal in response. Why don’t we see this being highlighted with remote work? Should be easy and obvious to measure and demonstrate right? Could it be that these things improve with remote work?

Consider also the pandemic impact on remote work and that we are talking about a return. It’s clear that many organisations could manage perfectly well, as they themselves have proved.
