- Comment on Dating apps are as if someone turned the job application experience into a pastime activity 1 week ago:
they tell you they want someone with 5 years Java experience.
Or 6 years of experience with that framework that’s 3 years old which is par for the course for dating apps; unrealistic standards.

Nextcloud won’t be able to recognise new files if you do it that way. A full scan will be needed before they’ll show up in the web app.

Does mxroute support a multi-user setup, say one for each family member?
I’m currently looking at switching to a new provider and haven’t found the perfect replacement yet.

I can recommend a Veto from osmc.tv, it runs Kodi underneath.

- Comment on Mercedes is trialing humanoid robots for ‘low skill, repetitive’ tasks 1 month ago:
While I still support UBI, last time robots replaced people doing repetitive tasks, people did find other jobs. Actually there was much bigger unemployment in Britain where the auto industry crumbled since they couldn’t compete with the rest of the world using robots.

I got one shipped to Denmark after brexit and IIRC they handled all the customs and everything.

For future reference, you can create a link by just pasting it as is or writing [my link](example.com) which becomes my link
- Comment on Media center under 100€ capable of 4k video 2 months ago:
The closest I can think of is a Vero from osmc.tv but that’s breaking the 100 mark.
I’ve got the old Vero 4K model and it works like a dream in conjunction with my Jellyfin server (it’s essentially a Kodi box so you can save media on it locally too).

You can get a small high-frequency whistle you can attach on the front of the car that should scare them away. It is outside audible range and supposedly has lowered the amount of incidents from a test phase our local elder care when they placed them on all their cars.

As the famous words go; standards are good, double standards are double as good.
What you are essentially doing is that you are publicly lecturing people on public lecturing. The very same thing you despise, you’re doing yourself.
The cause is lost the very same second that you cross your own line.

- Comment on The Website vs. Web App Dichotomy Doesn't Exist | jakelazaroff.com 4 months ago:
As a software developer a website is not an app and a web app is not an app. A web app is a hybrid solution and calling it just an app is pure confusion for the end users. Always refer to your web app as a website for end users unless you want them to literally install an application.

That poor MF have been me a couple of times. I hate being interested in niche content sometimes… On the positive side, I have a strict no-delete policy on any public torrent with less than 5 in ratio or private torrents, so I carry forward the gesture so the previous seeder can take a break.

- Comment on What Happens When Facebook Heats Your Home 4 months ago:
I think you get a surcharge if your out heat is too high, meaning your radiators are running so high that you aren’t utilising the heat effectively, so the end-of-loop water should be pretty cold. Another thing to keep in mind is that CHPs would still generate the waste heat from producing power, so it’s a pretty efficient loop.
Fun fact, the Facebook district heating project was actually a big talking point due to server farms producing much lower heat than what is needed in district heating. People were split on whether it would actually have enough of an impact. As an example, my heat comes partly from a cement factory, a waste incinerator and a CHP as well as minor oil-based emergency heat generators. The CHP is capable of producing all heat by itself and the cement factory and waste incinerator were enough when the CHP had a major breakdown last year during autumn. During winter oil-based heat generators might be turned on to supplement the network on very cold days but they’re expensive to run, so they are only used a couple of days a year.

District heating in Denmark is a closed system. The heated water leaves the Combined Heat & Power plant (CHP) or an industry’s heat pump and runs towards the consumers. In radiators it flows through and you pay for the difference in heat in/out and for tap water/shower etc. you have a heat exchanger that heats up the normal cold water line. The now colder heated water then runs back to the CHPs where it gets reheated.
Denmark may be big on windmills but CHPs are actually another energy technology that’s widespread here.

- Comment on Is anyone else stuck on overhead? 6 months ago:
If you want to enter the energy trading market, look at Aalborg as there’s a large hub here. I know my company is on a hiring spree and are no stranger to hiring foreign people as long as it’s the best match. Some companies might also have departments in Copenhagen. As I don’t want to doxx myself I’d rather avoid naming my workplace.
But do be careful with consultancy and stay far away from Netcompany.
