User replaceable batteries are a part of the new battery directive and will be in force from sometime in 2027 if I recall correctly.

I am perfectly happy with Konsole, and sleep well despite perhaps missing out on features I don’t know about.

Not sure if you are joking or not, but I’m pretty sure that only shows a default starting position of the “gauge”, and not the rating it has received so far. It’s bad design because it looks like everything is left-leaning, but I guess they wanted to uae a gauge in the neutral position as an illustration. I might be wrong though…

Are you talking about baloo, the file indexer?

Ah no, it’s not - I have been fooled by this community-driven approach. They are in a position to enshittify, so this might not be a good long-term solution.

I was actually unaware that IMDb is owned by Amazon. I will redouble my efforts to use TMDB instead.

If I had to guess, this is them meeting other Open Source contributors where they usually are, which in large part is GitHub these days.

Out of 28 projects whose release note RSS-feed I subscribe to, 25 of them are hosted on GitHub. While I’d love to see more of these projects move away from GitHub, it is understandable that they go where the largest amount of devs are. I’d love to see more of them start mirroring their repositories to Codeberg or their own Forgejo instance though, to give developers the opportunity to contribute while not alienating the devs who stay on GitHub. At least that would lessen the loss of opportunities for the devs when ditching GitHub - but I am not sure whether it is trivial or a hassle to maintain that kind of setup.

They can’t really say no to a free app

A co-worker was told (verbatim) by the head of IT that " we don’t use open source". So yeah…

tl;dr: Gradual exposure over time.

I got used to it through work, as I had to ssh into a server to run simulations. That mainly involved navigating the file system and text editing (which I used vim for) to make some basic Python and bash scripts, including sed and awk. The latter two I never got comfortable using, and haven’t really touched since.

I was using macOS at the time, and after using that for work, the terminal in macOS got at first less scary and then a preferred way of accomplishing certain tasks. On my work Windows computer I started missing having a proper terminal around, and I eventually found Cygwin and later Git Bash to give me that terminal fix in Windows as well. Especially with the latter I noticed few differences and could use it to a large extent as I would have on my then Macbook.

2-3 years ago I was in need of a new computer, and at that point a laptop with Linux on it was not a very scary prospect. That is by no way saying I went into Linux as an expert, far from it, and I am still very much a newbie - but opening the terminal to work with things is not at all a barrier, which helps a lot if you use Linux and want to be able to do some changes from the defaults. If you don’t want that, I think you can go far these days without opening the terminal, but it is certainly a good skill to have.

You also don’t have access to your fire box in that Hanoi alley.

hunter2 can both be stored in a password mananger and be remembered!

That’s simple and smart. I had played around with the thought of storing encrypted versions of my password manager vault freely available, and making the password a Ceasar cipher of the first letters of each chapter of some book I am sure to find freely online. Not so simple and smart, but at least some fun. Except maybe when you actually need to use it.

At least it was a good night.

I’m thankfully currently not in that situation, but while the situation is meant as a joke, the question is serious.

If I stored everything I needed on a Google account that’s not 2FA-enabled and with a password you remember in your head, things are not that bleak in this particular situation, although it is hardly a convenience that makes it worth it to have that kind of setup in my opinion (and I would assume to most people frequenting this community).

On what computer, and where did you get the ISO from?

Ah, got it! That sounds like an unhealthy amount of trust to give to a container, but I understand the need to give that access to the mastercontainer.

rsync from one server to the other.

When actually loading in the backup from the Nextcloud AIO interface, I specified the path on my local system (not the container).

Where does that article say anything like that? I could find neither a mention of Sweden nor of the US.

ETA: Hm, how thick do you think the walls would have to be?

Oh, that could be a much better solution. How would you design the reservoir filling system in that case? It would be difficult accessing the rear reservoirs directly, but I could maybe make something with cheap PVC-pipes. Ideally I would fill it from only one point, and I eventually plan to have some sensors measuring the water level in the reservoir(s)

Did you try FreeCAD after v1.0 release? I heard it got more intuitive with the release. I would prefer to stick to FOSS tools, and Fusion360 does also not seem to have a native Linux version?

But yeah, it is the impression I have gotten that FreeCAD is not very easy to get started with and why I thought to stick with what I know (Blender) for my first project.
