Obsidian.md has mobile versions, apparently. Whether there is a free sync feature for the ios version will be a Q.

NFSv3 (udp, stateless) was always as reliable as the network infra under Linux, I found. NFSv4 made things a bit more complicated.

You don’t want any NAT / stateful connection tracking in the network path (anything that could hiccup and forget), and wired connections only for permanent storage mounts, of course.

How will running a CA limit access? eg. Do you want to do client side cert validation? That sounds like an overcomplication. Also not ideal to run a CA (have signing keys) on the proxy server.

It’s a trade off. “Free services” typically require more leg work and can come with legal or security risks. I used to have a great XBMC & torrenting setup years ago. I spent significant time customizing it and various plugins, extending scripts etc. I had fun, and took necessary precautions. Millions wouldn’t. Some are happy to pay €9/month to another evil corp for convenience (where it works for them).

Oh, they do have an plan with ads. You can’t really complain about ads if that is what you subscribed to, I guess. The price difference is €6 vs €9/month in Germany, btw.

The no browser support on phones kind of sucks though.

Disney+ has ads? I’m in Germany and I don’t see any. Where are you?

edit: removed comment about browser, as OP meant on the phone

I don’t know about these days, but I remember making a custom layout for Windows back in 2005 that was US Qwerty keyboard plus AltGR+auose for äüö߀ (German umlauts and euro symbol).

I forget how I did it, as I haven’t used Windows for serious work in years.

https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/8367/is-the-term-open-source-a-trademark has a discussion about this.

The short story is that the OSI failed to obtain a legal trademark in the US for the term “open source” (software), resulting in many opportunistic companies and individuals adopting the term popularized by the OSI (which was founded by Eric Raymond, Michael Tiemann and Bruce Perens).

There was controversy at the time due to it being a business-friendly spin on the ideological “free software”, and I personally avoided using the term for many years as a result. Even without a trademark on the now generic term of Open Source, there is still value in the OSI brand and its stamp of approval on a license.

Those who want to be crystal clear, should probably always say OSI Approved Open Source License.

Now, I’m off to have a Nescafé Approved Coffee.

That would be trademark infringement. Patents are much more nefarious.

Lots of ideas are patented, especially by large companies. Some ideas are pursued by the company themselves, while others sit in the patent war chest to (maybe) generate passive income and help with future litigation. Very occasionally they are used for prevention.

Regardless, such a system would be a reason for many people to avoid buying a particular car or brand of car.

A nanotube garrote would be the talk of the town.

What filesystem are you using?

It is possible to wrap something like python into a single file, which is extracted (using standard shell tools) into a tmpdir at runtime.

You might also consider languages that can compile to static binaries - something like nim (python like syntax), although you could also make use of nimscript. Imagine nimscript as your own extensible interpreter.

Similarly, golang has some extensible scripting languages like https://github.com/traefik/yaegi - go has the advantage of easy cross compiling if you need to support different machine architectures.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crlr8gp813ko seems to have a good explanation. In short, it’s complicated, and the IOC drew their lines.

It’s the Y chromosome that triggers them.

edit: alleged/unpublished … she failed some gender verification tests of IBA that disqualified her there, but met the IOC’s criteria. It is what it is. They might keep or change the eligibility rules in the future, and that will continue to be IOC’s decision, much as it is IBA’s.

Someone who lies is a liar. I lie unintentionally all too often, despite my best efforts not to (aside from some leg pulling.) Some people can’t seem to help lying, and some others do it quite intentionally. We humans aren’t very reliable or trustworthy, but we muddle on anyway, and we’re not that bad, mostly.

I switched to flatpak steam because of this issue with a couple of games. Still annoyed that arch’s glibc maintainer removed the eac patch.

Not much, although it’s not strictly necessary for IPv6. But not much is pure IPv6 yet. Perhaps 2025 is the year of IPv6!

Lots of good advice here. I’ll add that you could develop an understanding of IP networking and how it works on Linux, network interfaces, with containers, with iptables as well as stateful and stateless firewalls, CIDRs and basic routing, IP protocols and some common protocols like DNS and HTTP. This used to be pretty common knowledge in applicants 15 years ago, but very few have it today I find. DHCP and PXE boot is fun to learn too, and is still common in datacenters.
