and then rinse and repeat, until i get bored ^^

networking plays a big roll in such things. the more connections you have, the more possibilities. in my job that is normal as well ( not for donations, but it’s important to get a job)

that makes me want to set up a DO account just so i can delete it!

thanks for the clarification

compared to brick houses, or compared to cardboard houses? anyway… every time there is a new technology, it is terrible. just remember when the first digital cameras or the first flat screen monitors came.

the online shop version is not really available anyway so far, as far as i can figure out. but i understand that you should be able to directly deal with it via your bank. so your bank would be the professor, and that you anyway need :)

let’s see what the future holds, I’m sorry that it won’t help you now

did you check out wero? didn’t read into it myself yet much, but as i understood it should do this at some point. just not sure when.

the problem here is the control with tv remote, but afair there is an Firefox again that can fix this

sounds tricky because eventually it relies on some accessible api of the banks or other place the money is at.

btw, it would be helpful if you disclose in which country you are, i guess USA, but can’t be sure. this would change some aspects.

for me it was the fact that the desktop case i used for the server had the power button on top and it was big enough to be pushed in, when my cat walked over it…

i might be a more typical nerd. i have a phd in physics and took a bunch of computer science course out of interest/boredom.

but i never learned anything that is really related to hosting. containers were not really a thing at the time and most courses i took were much more fundamental, like basics of networking or cpu scheduling. programming a learned on the fly to solve a problem, never as actual task in itself (what is very typical in my field and leads to horrible program code/collaboration scheme)

if not for the forced installation of the official client, it would really be neat. with a telegram bridge i also have good experience, only a single hiccup, years ago.

i have Whatsapp in a frozen shelter to starts it every two weeks.

recently i was thinking to have a second home server just for bridges, you should be able to use it federated. but didn’t try it yet.

main point for me was the sheer amount of ghost users.

one Location for dozen of rss feeds instead of looking up each individual. alternative is of course setting up the feeds on the client computer, but that works only nice if you use it only from one device (e.g. read history sync).

furthermore i prefer to have such set ups on a server with backups, so if e.g. my phone gets lost i don’t need to find back all those urls.

I’m using matrix for years with my wife and my mom, never really had issues, but maybe my requirements are not that high.

land of the free!

my ADHD is acting up to much to read all the text above, so in case it wasn’t included: the is a physical limit to frequency in conventional conductors. normally metals have only ohm resistance, which does not depend on frequency and is generally rather low, but for instance in the case of copper a capacitative resistance significantly rises at around 1ghz, which gets only worse. this comes from structural effects in the lattice which form like small capacitors. i don’t know the exact details from a solid state point of view, just remember the fact itself from a fiber optics lecture.

long story short: for high frequency (ergo, high data throughout) signals the resistance becomes insane, so you want to have your conductors as short as possible.

another thing that just pops into mind: i remember that for pci-5 the motherboard length is also more limited, due to the same reason.

i tried all three for my personal use. so i can’t say much about collaboration aspects. anyway:

• gitlab is old, stable and solid. and it eats half of your servers resources.
• gitea and forgeji are for me equal in experience, which is makes sense, as one being a fork of the other. i haven’t had any issues with anything, from setting up, using openid as auth method, to ssh passthrough.
• eventually i settled now on forgejo, simply for ideology reasons. it’s heavily developed, so things might change. but they have this nice attitude to not release a latest tag for docker. so you can’t accidentally update to a breaking change. had this issue with some other programs, which i spun up to quickly.
• looking forward to federation feature on forgejo!

custom OS shouldn’t be effected by it. I’ll probably change soon as well.

anyway, that is rather independent on the petition. a petition is usually not for your own short term benefit, rather for the common good, or outreach of the general problem. so doing either is for different reasons, both reasonable

here it makes at least some sense to verify that each person voted once. the mail list stuff is of course to much and should be optional from the beginning.

wait… there was a v2.* ? feels like yesterday that i read about the release and wanted to check it out since

that some like something easily scriptable, if Google photos has something even remotely resembling an api. don’t know if it does though, never used it.

I mean… I set it up many many years ago… Without looking it up I can also just guess.
