Back in the old days (ie 2020) we called this “writing out requirements” and it was generally the way that devs knew what they were supposed to do.

As much as I hate the thought of Apple being even bigger and more pervasive than they are, if satellite cellular is inevitable and unavoidable I’d vastly prefer an Apple service to MuskNet.

A global FOSS day would be awesome. In addition to giving gifts to the authors and maintainers (and maybe Paterson and others would agree to no fees for one-time donations on that day or something), think of all the other new holiday traditions we could start…

• cookies in the shape of Linus or RMS
• decorations made from “that box” we all have of extra parts and cables
• rhyming flame wars on every listserv
• riveting games of (token) ring-around-the-rosie

What else?

Maybe it’s time for a FOSS general strike.

Could even be his twin - that joke is from 2007, if little Bobby was in kindergarten then he’d be around 22 by now and could be trying to land his first job out of college!

Correct but there are really only 2 parts (3 if you’re adding a front-facing proxy which it sounds like you know how to do). If you’re using something like truenas or proxmox there are prebuilt containers for both iCloudpd and immich/photoprosm/whatever and even if not both have generic Docker containers or can be run out of their own repo checkout. So you just need:

1. iCloud <—> local folder via icloudpd
2. local folder <—> local web front end with immich
3. local web <—> public web with your proxy or cloudflare setup

Good luck!

Right, this is for the “hard” part of getting your content out of iCloud in an automated fashion. You’d then put the content in storage locally and use photoprism or immich or a similar self hosted gallery to be able to access them

icloudpd can be run in a container or just your host machine. It’s a little finnicky to get logins set up (and honestly I haven’t done it in a few months), but once that is working you can automate a job to pull down a backup every day/week/month and delete files from icloud.

I’d love to hear from anyone who has actually tried this (and fully expect my boss to put a team on it once he learns about it) as it sounds too good to be true.

Obsidian or Joplin. Offline first, clients for every platform, and easy self-host (if you want) syncing options and plugins.

Blissfully unaware, thanks.

Shocked that Florida made it to double digits.

Of the changes made last week to the license, this one stands out:

10. None of the Work may be used in any form as part, or whole, of an integration, plugin or app that integrates with Atlassian’s Confluence or Jira products.

That is a weird carve-out, so I’d guess the license revision (and technically the reason it’s no longer open source) somehow has to do with Atlassian or their plugin marketplace?

Feel like the (totally impractical) fediverse end-game would be for each individual to have their own activitypub service, and federation happening on a person-by-person basis. So you retain some control over anything you publish, and your history is yours to keep.

As others have said, changing UPS batteries is required maintenance, and I agree 18-24 months is the typical service life for even high-end UPSs. However, you may want to look into LiFePO4 based UPSs, which can handle many more charge-discharge cycles and often have 5-year warranties. More expensive and potentially not as recyclable as lead acid batteries, but maybe appropriate for your use case.

Mine’s more like an LLM - exposed to a vast quantity of technical terms that they don’t really understand, but can mash them together well enough to make coherent-sounding statements in JIRA

Is this old enough to be called a classic yet?

draw.io is a capable web-based flowcharting program. Source code is on github but I’ve never tried locally hosting.

Having a hard time determining whether this is sarcasm or not. Then I see the phrase “JavaScript Engineer” and become doubly confused.

This would make a great lemmy comunity!
