I know. I was there, before Sanford Wallace invented the email spam and forced any sane SMTP server into password protections and whitelists.

“Low volume” vs. “A few hundred mails per month”

OK, what of the above?

Those if you who consider yourself leftists, what news sources do you follow?

I’m afraid that the real meaning was “Those if you who consider yourself leftists, what news sources bubbles do you follow?”

You should put fixed IP addresses outside the DHCP allocation range. While a DHCP server might be smart enough to exclude a fixed address automatically, this is not a must. So better safe than sorry.

I never said anything like compromise. I prefer neutrality (as far as one can get it, but it is way easier in Europe). Why do you all think that anything that is not explicitly left biased is already compromised?

There are f-ups on both sides of the spectrum. This does not say both sides are equal - on the contrary, there is a shitload more f-up on the right side. But general whitewashing the left is also not OK.

Thats why I ask for true neutrality. Any source that reports in a biased way is not news, it is opinion. And given the current situation in the US, a neutral news source would have to call out a lot of shit and lies coming from the political right. But that does not make it leftist.

A “leftist news source” is not a news source, it is an opinion source, and thus not better than a “rightwing news source”. How about finding something neutral that actually has the goal to inform?

Peach. I have eaten a chicken and peach pizza once.

I didn’t grow up at the coast, but I learned about the tides the hard way (we found a nice place at the beach at low tide, and had to seriously hurry to get everything to safety). That taught me about tides.

Last year we were visiting a coastal town in the UK, and I had checked the tide table beforehand so I could always tell my wife and our friend about the current state. Sadly, we never had the time to see the beach or the port there - whenever we had time, it was already dark.

Politicians are doing nothing for any normal people. They cater for those who contribute to their campaigns in a way that makes them remeberable - usually not normal people.

Super hard to understand what’s going on, since it’s too generic

In other words, you wrote nice code, but forgot to document it?

Minetest and Widelands

Tally Ho A boat builder named Leo Sampson rebuilding a wooden sailing yacht with an incredible love for detail. Started seven years ago with a wreck, and is now finally sailing!

Cutting Edge Engineering For those who love “Inheritance Machining” - Curtis does machining of large parts professionally and commercially.

Indeed. And yes, they know how to do that.

Me: Software developer. Other person: Sales guy.

Sales guy: Have you finally fixed the XYZ bug?

Me: What XYZ bug? Never heard of this before.

Sales guy: The bug that impacted our project A, B, and C! It is there for years!

Me: No, I have not fixed it. Because I just heard about this issue now. Nobody told me about an XYZ bug, or problems with projects A, B, and C.

Sales guy: What? Why didn’t you know about such a bug? This cannot be possible! I’ll talk to the boss about your incompetence!

Me: Because none of your team found it necessary to inform me? Maybe we should talk to the boss about this.

Canon printers. Back in the time, I bought a large canon printer - for 60cm wide paper, with large ink tanks on the side. It cost a rather substantial amount, but printing under Linux was meh, as there was no special driver for this model. I asked for a manual so I could write such a driver myself, but their position (back then, I never bothered to recheck) that Linux and open source in general was theft of intellectual property.

Apple for their poisonous followership.

Canon for being assholes.

Microsoft for their shitty products that only survive due to the mass they have acquired during the years running largely unchecked.

Facebook/Meta/Twitterx/Tesla: see Apple.
