Ah yes, there’s nothing quite like a 4 km/h reverse speed. That’s a really tangible factor making the T-72 a better tank.

With LibreWolf you also have to trust
I wouldn’t call criticism of their strategic focus “shitting on” Nextcloud. It obviously still does a lot of things right or at least right enough to be useful and relevant to many people, or else we wouldn’t be discussing it. But it has its issues and many of them have been unadressed for a long time, so why shouldn’t people voice their displeasure with that?
+1 for restic. I’ve been using it for four years now and have never encountered an issue, including during my yearly restore practice run.
As far as B2 bucket encryption is concerned, I wouldn’t trust it as far as I can throw it. Quite honestly, it could just be a fancy checkbox on their website without any actual encryption, and we wouldn’t be able to tell. Either way, a compromise of Backblaze would put your data at risk.
The link doesn’t explain what Taler is, you then also have to click through to the home page. How hard can it be to add literally a single sentence like
Taler is a payment system that makes privacy-friendly online transactions fast and easy.
There are quite a few mature projects in 0.x that would cause a LOT of pain if they actually applied semver
Depending on how one defines the “initial development” phase, those projects are actually conforming to semver spec:
Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.
After looking at the site and trying to determine what to download to get Debian with non-free (I’m unfortunately working with an NVIDIA card)
FWIW, Debian 12 now includes non-free firmware in the installation media by default and will install whatever is necessary.
I agree that the Debian website has its weaknesses, but beyond finding the right installer (usually netinst ISO a.k.a small installation image on https://www.debian.org/distrib/) there isn’t much of a learning curve. I started out with Ubuntu too, but finally decided that enough was enough when snap started breaking my stuff on desktop.
True, but in this case it might be a good option until the corresponding Fossify app is available.
Thanks, didn’t know about those deals!
+1 for own domain and some email hosting service. That also makes it pretty easy to switch providers because you can simply point your MX records etc. somewhere else - no need to change the actual email address.
I can also recommend mailbox.org as an alternative to mxroute, they’re even a little cheaper at $3/month (mxroute is $49/year at minimum).
In Minecraft’s case, you never needed the email address beyond initial registration. Login was always through username and password, which I still have. Had I actually forgotten my credentials, that would’ve been fair, but I didn’t. They just suddenly decided that that wasn’t enough and they now want some ancient email address that little me had typed in once over ten years ago.
Anyone without access to their old email also loses their account. I don’t remember which email address I used with my account back in the day (it’s at least ten years old), and since I bought my key from a reseller, I don’t have a receipt. Microsofts response was basically “not our problem, guess you’ll have to pay us again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”
Definitely agree that Kotlin is so much better than Java + Lombok, but it'll take a lot of time for all the existing Java projects or migrate to Kotlin or reach EOL. In the meantime, it's hard to avoid the occasional Java project…
Lombok will shrink the 200 lines of getters and setters to one or two. It has its own pitfalls of course, but IMO it's definitely worth it.
it lacks features left and right
That's a bummer. IMO, one of Nextcloud's biggest advantages is that it bundles so much functionality into a single application.
Oh, I think we're talking different orders of magnitude here. I'm in the <1TB range, probably around 100GB. At that size, the cost is negligible.
I do an automated nightly backup via restic to Backblaze B2. Every month, I manually run a script to copy the latest backup from B2 to two local HDDs that I keep offline. Every half a year I recover the latest backup on my PC to make sure everything works in case I need it. For peace of mind, my automated backup includes a health check through healthchecks.io, so if anything goes wrong, I get a notification.
It's pretty low-maintenance and gives a high degree of resilience:
restic has been very solid, includes encryption out of the box, and I like the simplicity of it. Easily automated with cron etc. Backblaze B2 is one of the cheapest cloud storage providers I could find, an alternative might be Wasabi if you have >1TB of data.
drive failure
Perhaps unintended but very much relevant singular. Unless you're doing RAID 6 or the like, a simultaneous failure of two drives still means data loss. It's also worth noting that drives of the same model and batch tend to fail after similar amounts of time.
They’ve been “testing” it for more than a decade at this point and even if Russia is able to actually bring the T-14 into service, they won’t be able to produce any significant number of them for the same reason their tank corps isn’t using many T-90M right now.
Go look up Operation Desert Storm and rethink what you wrote there.
If there’s anything here that’s garbage, it’s your notions about tank design.
