The oldest `editions` idea I know of, is with Perl. For 20 years it was already common to write `use 5.18` to activate multiple options.

I've often read on church in Flander "onze lieve vrouw", but I had read that there is no word in Dutch for love. Instead, one would say "ik hou van jouw" which I translate as "I'm attached to you". Could it be in Pennsylvania Dutch a similar situation, due to some lineage between the languages?

Come now to south of Germany. We are in the middle of a 10 days heatwave at 35 degC on average.

For this very simple relay, there are lightweight alternative like msmtp.

I've read some people replace notepad with Notepad2e [1]. I personally use vim as my text editor.

This is patently false, the latest Kobo Libra Color is using secure boot which completely locks out custom development: > https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=363175

Thanks for the link on mobileread. I was not aware of current development in direction of secure boot / chain of trust.

Not OP, but when I was looking for an e-reader, I looked up the Pinenote. I could not find easily a lot of information on its software state. I could find a lot on Kobo hacking. I notably found https://anarc.at/hardware/tablet/kobo-clara-hd/ and this motives me to get a second hand Clara HD for less than 100$. It was way cheaper than starting with 400$ and unknown software state.

Now with Webxxx, the user needs to make sure that it is the right URL, not a fake teanns instead of teams, so he is unsure every time he has to use it. Some random download, once it works, can be reused and you have more trust that it works after the trial was positive.

And if it is open source, you can review the code before compiling. I can't review the code of some random server, as my browser only receives a random wasm binary for example.

Sane works out of the box on Linux (at least in my limited experience). There are front ends for Windows and MacOS [1]. No need for a browser in the loop. The browser is becoming more and more Emacs... An operating system that happens to be a browser.

SEPA Instant Payments also solves that.

Even more than now there is a QR code format for SEPA Instant Payments. Some invoice have a QR code and when it is scanned with a bank app, the fields for a bank transfer are prefilled. IBAN, amount, etc...

We just need an app to generate this QR code for the amount one wants to request.

In that video over Madagascar, the lowest tier jobs on AI tagging is at 1 €/3h of tagging, beating the Kenyan price.

Oh no! The ones working at 120€/month are the happy few. This is above mid range income in Madagascar. I just wanted to point out that this is not all automated running on GPUs. There are people involved, more than I thought before viewing this video.

By coincidence, I've looked yesterday a small documentary [1] about the people tagging all those invoices to train theses models. For 120 €/month they are reading about 1000 to 4000 invoices per day and check and tag them for AI training.

There is already some trash flying around in space from decommissioned satellites. Reentering the atmosphere needs some energy to initiate the process and that was/is not always planned for. The combustion during reentry is producing CO2. This CO2 emission will scale up when the number of satellites is scaled up.

The alternative of collecting debris in space is discussed by some space agencies. I really don't think it is a good behavior from SpaceX to put more trash in space and let public money take care of the cleanup later.

Docker Engine includes an experimental feature that can automatically switch to the containerd image store under certain conditions. This feature is experimental. It's provided for those who want to test it, but starting fresh is the recommended approach.

How bad did we fall with the ship often, ship early and fix later idea? Make a major change, release it and the migration feature is experimental and not recommended.

Older Thinkpad were made without the sharp edge. I love the edge on the X230 and I've been wondering why no designer has taken a look at these to make new laptop.

At some sites, the methane is burned in gas engine to generate electricity. Some sites build a CHP and resales the heat for district heating. The engines may need more maintenance due to silicate in the gas.

Great story, and I believe you. I go through similar slope to work, 5 to 15%, 120 m altitude difference. Doing it daily since Covid has improved my fitness a lot. I fully believe that doing something like you in my teenager days would have shaped me differently.

The wiki page explains that as from Freecad 1.0, the work done by Realthunder in the topological naming problem has been merged into Freecad. Not that everything is solved. Just to mention that the work of Real thunder was not lost.

This is described in the wiki page, at the section solution.

An alternative proposed on orgmode website would be organice. https://organice.200ok.ch/

Visio here is most likely a shorted "visioconférence", the French word for video conference, or online meeting.

It reminds me that I want to get one of these ESP32 Sense module with a camera, to build a rear view camera for my bike rack behind the car.

Thanks for sharing this except of the book.

I'm wondering why you chose a domain name of Romania for something local to San Francisco in California, USA?

Thanks for this. My Fairphone 4 has USB3 and works well with my laptop docking station. I would not have imagined that Fairphone regressed on that point.

Some people place so much value on being right that they lose sight of the actual goals (and I won't say I'm immune to this, but marriage helped).

Thanks I appreciate the hindsight ! This is so true.

No not at all. I happen to read the website a couple of weeks ago.

Oh ! The performance table on github is not rendered. If you look at the same page on https://fossil.kd2.org/karadav/doc/main/README.md KaraDAV is very close to apache mod_dav module and way faster than NextCloud.

KaraDAV performance was very close to mod_dav, and NextCloud performance was incredibly poor.

  Client  KaraDAV  NextCloud  mod_dav
  Dolphin (KDE)  5 seconds  1 minute 15 seconds  3 seconds
  Thunar (GTK)  5 seconds  1 minute 50 seconds  5 seconds
  WebDAV Manager.js  4 seconds (no delete)  --  --

We need a third alternative, based on freedom with your device. No root access, remote control by apple and google, all wrong.

Maybe 2026 will be the year of Linux on mobile phone.

With the recent blackout in Berlin, I've heard requests to hide these information.
