And it should only use the I- and K- root-servers, and fund those.
That'd be a really good idea

To be honest, setting up a DNS4EU replica would just be a simple unbound

I wish there was a fund we could pool money into to make LibreOffice less ugly to look at. I'll happily donate to the cause.
If denmark was to successfully adopt libreoffice they would probably invest in its upkeep aswell
Preventing another migration is a cost reduction in itself

> Unless this forked version will then print out a bunch of forms for someone to physically mail in
Well yes, this is in essence what tax return preparation software has always been; The end result is a completed set of values to fill into the boxes of form 1040 (and whatever additional forms are deemed to be required), which can then be filed electronically or written/printed on paper to be returned at an office or by mail.
Not in other countries besides the US. Haven't seen a printout since I started doing taxes.

I'm curious if anyone here has any experience with DbBeaver and HeidiSQL and can make a comparison. I've been using DbBeaver for a while, but the interface is... strange. Will probably try Heidi tomorrow.
With DBeaver I was able to use tnsnames.ora to use a few tricks to connect to an oracle db
It required certain host/user/cid combination to pass the whitelist.

I have a personal rule which has worked really well for me: if I do a project, the price of doing that project is that I have to write about it.
Back when Twitter threads didn't suck (they could be viewed by people without Twitter accounts) I'd use those - tweet a description of my project with a link, then follow it with a few photos and screenshots.
These days I use my blog, with my "projects" tag: https://simonwillison.net/tags/projects/
I blog all sorts of other stuff, but if I was ever to trim back the one thing I'd keep doing is projects. If you make a thing, write about that thing. I wrote more about that here: https://simonwillison.net/2022/Nov/6/what-to-blog-about/#pro...
Projects with a GitHub repository make this even easier: describe the project in the README and drop in a few screenshots - that's all you need.
(Screenshots are important though, they're the ultimate defense against bitrot.)
I have many projects from earlier in my career that I never documented or captured in screenshot form and I deeply regret it.
I'm not the type to write a blog. I just don't want to invest that much.
What I do though is documenting for myself, everything.
It has helped me greatly in the last few years
Is this the link you intended to post? All I see is a forum post with a request for troubleshooting assistance and some basic diagnostic questions from folks providing assistance. Am I missing something here?
I was asking myself the same question, looking for something noteworthy.
No there's nothing here to find. The way to go is in the linked discourse, god it's ugly, use iperf.

I used nspawn to get a system running in the most ridiculous way.
A debian aarch64 vm on kvm starting a systemd-nspawn for an unpacked raspberry pi 3 iso.
It works way too well judging by how ridiculous it was.
Still saved me a few days instead of setting things up myself.
I actually liked how easy it is to spin up nspawn as a systemd service

the only thing you might have to adjust is the access control
