Bosch has been making washing machines where replacing the drum bearings is not supported (the bearings are sealed in a plastic housing) for a while now, not sure if this is the case in all of the models or the cheaper ones only.

But it's not meant to be shared widely, for most people it's meant to be shared with consideration and/or permission.

Also, it's not just about "a desire not be interrupted by people you didn't agree to be interrupted by", it's about not having the data in the first place, for any reason, including tracking of any sorts.

Usually the release is fine, but dependencies can be lacking in proper support/testing of the newer versions, so it takes a couple of months.

Also external tooling, like for example NewRelic extension, takes some time to release a version that supports the new release.

It looks like you need server support for that as well (makes sense), to bad Prosody doesn't have it in a released version but you have to build it manually.

How would you describe something useful?

Can you give examples of counterintuitive idiosyncrasies you must deal with to be productive?

Not sure I understand the question.

Croatia is a small country and we don't have vast amounts of content in our own language, so when I search I often get bombarded with machine translated content from Russian origin. I suppose it is Russian, since there are images with text written on them that is in cyrillic.

If it were Serbian (they also use cyrillic) there would be no need for translation since we basically speak the same language and a lot of Serbian content is in latin alphabet also.

We use it, we know it and can troubleshoot it if needed, it satisfies our needs and it works. What more do you need?

It also works for others, Github for example.

The only thing I am missing at the moment is a native UUID type so I don't have to write functions that convert 16bit binary to textual representation and back when examining the data manually on the server.

Usually they use a big pool of IP addresses, but that doesn't make fail2ban completely useless since they do reuse IPs.
