Also consider Nebula: https://github.com/slackhq/nebula

ZeroTier does not use an OSI approved open-source license. It is under a freedom-restricting "Business Source License". Nebula is MIT licensed.

Nebula is much simpler and in most cases faster than ZeroTier.

Last time I checked it did not support IPv6, and the issue is still open today https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/issues/6

LibreOffice is excellent. An alternate to it is OnlyOffice, which is a bit more polished (and Enterprisy) and has a free option too - https://www.onlyoffice.com/download-desktop.aspx

LibreOffice is awful on macOS. Also, file compatibility with MS Office is still problematic. Onlyoffice is indeed a better choice.
uselpa commented on Ask HN: Cheap/effective way to manage physical backups of cloud files?    · Posted by u/anoojb
uselpa · a year ago
If your cloud storage is supported by rclone, you can use that to mount the storage and then back it up, locally or to an S3 storage at a different provider. That’s how I backup my wife’s and daughter’s OneDrive, using rclone and restic.

This article makes repeated references to RTS's while forgetting to mention the absolute most important caveat. RTS's are not law. They're selectively delegated to in the law, but they are themselves not enforcable. What that means in practice is that ANY reference to an RTS MUST include an analysis of if the recomendation is mandated by the actual law (in this case DORA).

This is absolutely critical to understand for anyone dealing with these laws. The RTS's are allowed, and expected, to include provisions that are not enforcable because they fall outside the mandate delegated from the sponsoring law.

uselpa · a year ago
This is a very dangerous take - while at this point in time the RTS have not yet been formally adopted by all the relevant bodies, they will be, at which point they will be enforceable.

One doesn't have to expose it to malicious actors. It is most-useful that way, sure. Mine is at 10.27.0.68. Have fun, hackers!

Also, I lol at most CVEs. Butterfly farted outside, oh uh.

Take the top one: In Nextcloud Desktop Client 3.13.1 through 3.13.3 on Linux, synchronized files (between the server and client) may become world writable or world readable. This is fixed in 3.13.4.

You mean to tell me a few minor point releases imitated umask, making world-readable [and possibly added writable]? Oh no! The tragedy! Keep in mind most clients are single user systems anyway.

Judge them on their facts, there are vulns and then there are vulns. CVEs are a sign of attention on a project. No more or less.

uselpa · a year ago
I find that one concerning in an enterprise setup (which they target). Or the fact that the desktop client has 999 open issues. Or that the last version silently takes you off the stable channel. I could go on … Nextcloud desktop has severe quality control issues.

An important warning. Logseq is very nice for some things...until it loses your data. You know you put something into Logseq, but it's not there, so you question if you're losing your mind. That's one reason they're switching to a database.

I'm also hesitant to rely on Logseq for another reason. They've taken a lot of funding and now they're in the monetization phase. When I asked about the status of the open source project on Github, the response was crickets.

Full. agree on the data loss issue. I have experienced it myself, and their forum and issue tracker also show this. Its not a « trusted system » at all.

I remember I had good threads with people defending Chrome and calling Safari the new IE. The tribalism defending Chrome should stop.

If only we could have uB Origin for Safari back!

robin_reala · a year ago
So obviously there’s been a lot of legacy COBOL kicking around, but is this still the case? Would a new COBOL project have been started in the last 20 years? I kind of imagined that Java (or at least the JVM) has eaten its lunch.
uselpa · a year ago
Our shop (a bank) still develops in COBOL on a daily basis (IBM mainframe) and has a stock of tenth of millions of code lines.

Ringz · a year ago
It's been like this for years. However, with one of my own domains and a catch all rule in the e-mail server. Why? From time to time, some services require that you send emails with exactly this e-mail address as the sender. And that doesn't just work with most services. Because in such a case, you have to turn exactly this e-mail address into a real account with a mailbox.
uselpa · a year ago
Not necessarily. You can for example configure both Thunderbird and mailcow to allow you to reply from any address (of the domains you manage, of course), without having to create the mailbox.

Maybe fear of death?

You get older, you get more tired(?), serene(?), you can see the progress towards death as a natural process in your own life.

Also you're around more death. I was with my mother when she died. I can't say it was a pleasant process, but it was very natural. She accepted hospice, and seemed to be at peace with death. The last few months with her a lot of positive memories were made that will stick with me.

I don't _want_ to die, but its clearly something I can feel will naturally come and should plan for.

uselpa · 2 years ago
I am still afraid of dying slowly and/or painfully, but over the last 57 years I have moved from wanting to live forever to accepting that I will die. Like you, it’s not a wish, it’s simply acceptance. Makes you appreciate the little things in life, too.
