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 awful on macOS. Also, file compatibility with MS Office is still problematic. Onlyoffice is indeed a better choice.

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 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.

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.

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.

If only we could have uB Origin for Safari back!

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.

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.

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.

For now, some countries preparing a larger war seems more likely.

Is Android better in this respect? I’m all-in in the Apple ecosystem, but iOS specifically makes me want to switch.

I did, and according to the man page of /etc/resolv.conf the order is taken into account unless you specifically set the option not to. Which covers macOS, i(Pad)OS and Linux, and afaik also my Windows machine (I haven't checked the latter though).

I use borgbackup so the storage requirements are fairly low if the data does not change too much (which is my case). Also diffs are just a « borg diff » away.

No, I'm implying that the autopilot code has not been as thoroughly tested as it should have been.

Example: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/nov/22/tesla-aut...

I understand your reasoning, but running a popular « stable » distro in a popular configuration will help detect bugs much faster. I’m not sure this would be the case for the very latest kernel.

Are you sure about that (genuine question)? The linked discussion involves a Suse engineer and a request to the kernel maintainer directly, not to a Debian packager-

Cars might not be the best example, since human lives are at stake, as in aviation. Unless you work on Teslas autopilot, it seems. But yes, backups and restores are often good enough.

Epic fail indeed, costing many lives.

If you have versioned backups, you can diff against update_day-1 without an additional tool.

I had already updated to the problematic kernel, so I resorted to installing 6.5 from backports. Hope this helps.

A random Reddit post is hardly evidence. My personal opinion is that they sell snake oil (a.k.a. secure email).

Not a native speaker, but I read this as « a solid favor ».

which is why it should be opt-in, not opt-out

Nah. I live and work in Luxembourg. Workers rights are very similar.

True, but only if you threaten their business model, which is unlikely if you selfhost for yourself and relatives.

I do selfhost as well, but unless your partner or child is also a nerd, digital legacy can become a problem.

I agree about identity, but this can also be accomplished by "owning" your domain and using a mail provider that allow you to use it. Even Apple does nowadays.

Agreed, I use it because I use borgbase for server backups but I wouldn’t recommend it, especially on laptops. The backups stalls every other time after waking up from sleep.

I agree on iCloud, which behaves in a very erratic and intransparent way. Don’t rely on it. I use Nextcloud instead and it works much better. One software that syncs extremely well with iCloud is Obsidian, for reasons unknown (to me).
