Forced memes don’t work either. Just ask Milhouse

https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/blame/dev/LICENSE <-- that’s … a rather specific and recent change. Is there a story here ?

You are aware that draw.io is itself open source and self-hostable: https://github.com/jgraph/drawio ?

Biden did get some new appointees on the board: https://federalnewsnetwork.com/people/2022/05/usps-board-is-now-mostly-biden-picks-following-latest-senate-confirmations/ but i’m not sure what the hold up is now.

edit: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/07/25/president-biden-announces-nominees-4/ more recent additional nominees.

Price fixing is a problem because of the power imbalance between businesses selling products, and individual consumers that need to buy them.

Worker unions are a solution to that power imbalance.

At $dayjob I switched from Apache to nginx 15+ years ago. It’s Callback/Event based process model ran circles around Apache’s pre-fork model at the time. It was very carefully developed to be secure, and even early on it had a good track record. Being able to have nginx handle static content without tying up a backend worker process was huge, and let us scale our app pretty well for the investment of time. Since then, Apache implemented threaded + Event based process models, Caddy, traefik, and a bunch of others have entered the scene.

TBH, I think the big thing nowadays is sane defaults, and better configuration, even automatically discovered configuration – traefik is my current favorite for discovering hosts in consul/Kubernetes/simple host definition files, but since traefik can’t directly serve files, I simply proxy from traefik to … nginx :)

Depending on your use cases and apps, file locking can be problematic when sharing across SMB and NFS simultaneously, their locking semantics are slightly different

Is this about elles ?

TacticalRMM is very comprehensive, self hosted, but more geared towards organizations managing a fleet of machines.

In fact, it can be better: having root means you can arrange additional ‘firewalls’ between apps and your data , or omit/falsify sensor data the the banking app should not need, that the Google is unwilling to implement.

I wish I knew, but the ad industry LOVES this tech: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=smart+tv+ACR&t=ffab&ia=web Every other result is “How ACR is going to be awesome for advertisers/marketers”. the ones in between are “How to shut off ACR” :-/

No.

Smart TV’s run automatic content detection on all their inputs. You will also be nagged to put the device online relentlessly, and some models will not let you skip internet connectivity.

I see this said every time this comes up.

Are there any efforts starting or even attempting this? Or even taking an existing printer and replacing it’s main board?

IMAP on O365 now requires “Modern Auth”, which requires OAuth to authenticate access to mailboxes. Anything that connects via IMAP will need to be approved by the admins at this point (Including Thunderbird). Without the cooperation of your organization’s IT team, you are not going to get far.

You can lose your Google account in the blink of an eye with no recourse, no access to support or anything.

With local and my own backups, I can choose to put them at any location, cloud or local.

“Automatic content recognition” https://advertising.roku.com/resources/blog/insights-analysis/acr-the-future-of-tv-and-audience-data#! Roku is not the only ones doing it :(

The horngus of a dongfish is attached by a scungle to a kind of dillsack (the nutte sac)…

Oh, I know that happened. But that’s just one little bit. The other items I mentioned will have far more broad, devastating and lasting effects.

The Local PD should have handled cases like that, to protect lawful voters. But I wager that the Local PD was already there, just in the wrong uniform.

There is not going to be a mob at a voting booth, or at a government building, in a way that matters.

It’ll be done by people not taking action. It’ll be done by installing people sympathetic to fascism installed to positions where they have the authority to approve or enforce (or not enforce) policies. It’ll be done by people saying “oh, that’s fine it doesn’t affect me” , or "people will never allow it "…

Some of the things that people are allowing lately are downright evil. But it’s okay because it’s what my church said was good.

Rich people have been advocating for policies and programs that all but force people to work, at borderline slave wages just to survive or participate in society.

I don’t see an end to this unless something drastic and uncomfortable happens.
