This OS isn’t made by the EU, but it’s goal is to become sponsored by them:

Is EU OS a project of the European Union?

Right now, EU OS is not a project of the European Union. Instead, EU OS is a community-led Proof-of-Concept. This means it is lead by a community of volunteers and enthusisasts.

The project goal is to become a project of the European Commission in the future and use https://code.europa.eu/. For this EU OS is in touch with the public administration on member state and EU level. So far, EU OS relies on https://gitlab.com/eu-os.

Personally I don’t see why EU wouldn’t just go with Suse. It has the corporate support that I guess these government institutions crave, it’s a good system as far as I know and it’s home-grown. Ubuntu is another option, Canonical is a British company (not EU anymore but it is European).

I used to be in this camp, but will now avoid public toilets whenever possible. Not having to sit on others pee and butt sweat is pretty awesome.

ok, but what about the selling point for recruitment firms that “you don’t need to pay $190 a month to unlock Sales Navigator Advanced for each of your recruiters”? or is that perhaps a feature, sorting out the weeds who can’t afford the monthly fee?

Will do, thanks!

My experience with Matrix is that the federation itself is a deal breaker. I have a pretty beefy server and good connection which was getting ddosed by running Matrix and timing out on so many requests for avatars/profiles etc. Maybe I did something wrong, but the whole experience rendered me quite skeptical to the viability of it as a federated chat.

That said I’ve had nothing but good experiences using it with big servers set up by pros.

Right, and picking an instance is kinda same guidelines as any fediverse. Find something focused on your main interest of decent size and you’ll be able to get things from most other places too?

Just out of curiosity, as a person who doesn’t make any videos myself and don’t know anyone who does, is there any use to hosting my own peertube instance? Mostly curious because it seems quite popular to self-host so there might be some killer feature I’m overlooking.

But there is no such implementation AFAIK? How is it making Typescript faster if it’s a completely new implementation?

But certainly, in theory it could become unshackled from JavaScript. Have there been any serious attempts to do so though?

I feel this should be obvious to anyone who knows anything about programming, because typescript is just a development tool not a runtime.

Swede here, see no issue with the name. I’ll just ignore the h when pronouncing though.

I’ve been happy with Fastmail for 10 years, though they’re Australian and not European. Might look into a European alternative at some point but so far I’ve had no reason to switch.

I’m not familiar with Quanta from before, but what a fantastic article. It explains the problem and the history in an engaging way that manages to be approachable to us without an academic background in CS while still retaining some academic substance. Very informative!

Maybe they were promised to be turned into a dragon or something?

Isn’t this kinda what the controversy around the ElastiSearch licensing change was about? I think people have had similar frustrations with HashiCorp software, but I don’t know the details.

This is so cool, first MQTT-based sensor I’ve set up. Already had a broker set up with HA, but how can HA automatically discover which topic to listen to, know the vendor name and how to interpret all the data?

Interesting, so I guess those API-calls are just fetching the cached calendar on my HA Yellow. Wonder why it’s so slow, but I guess there’s not much to do about that then. :(

Not exactly. My main use-case here is for my girlfriend and me to see each both of our calendars in one place, and HA had support for it and is a web portal we both have access to. To do automations on them is secondary.

Currently, whenever I look at the calendar control panel it will load for a bit while pulling all the calendars, and sometimes timeout and not show anything. I believe this to be because it’s pulling from Fastmail / iCloud everytime and might be rate limited or just have a poor connection, this wouldn’t be an issue if the calendars were stored on the instance itself because then it would only miss the latest entries.

The idea that maybe I can self-host an app that does it is that if HA can’t do the caching, then maybe this self-hosted app can and it wouldn’t matter that HA fetches it remotely each time since the remote is on the same local network. Having them as separate calendars is still desirable since that gives some additional information.

Is immich in a usable state yet? I was looking for a self-hosted image service a while back, but eventually I just went with pigallery2 mostly due to the extremely simple file storage (just point to a folder and you’re good to go), but I do miss being able to manage images/albums from the website and having a more mobile friendly version. I kind of avoided immich due to the repo saying it’s under very active development (#scary).

the biggest selling point for me is that I’ll have a mounted folder or two, a shell script for creating the container, and then if I want to move the service to a new computer I just move these files/folders and run the script. it’s awesome. the initial setup is also a lot easier because all dependencies and stuff are bundled with the app.

in short, it’s basically the exe-file of the server world

runs everything as root (not many well built images with proper useranagement it seems)

that’s true I guess, but for the most part shit’s stuck inside the container anyway so how much does it really matter?

you cannot really know which stuff is in the images: you must trust who built it

you kinda can, reading a Dockerfile is pretty much like reading a very basic shell script for the most part. regardless, I do trust most creators of images I use. most of the images I have running are either created by the people who made the app, or official docker images. if I trust them enough to run their apps, why wouldn’t I trust their images?

lots of mess in the system (mounts, fake networks, rules…)

that’s sort of the point, isn’t it? stuff is isolated

Yeah I guess you’re right. Probably just seen the Source Code Pro one so many times that I stopped being annoyed with it.

Should try exposing myself to the Jetbrains Mono font until I get used to that instead, then I won’t have to fiddle with that part of the IDE settings.
