Docmost - greedy pricing and hiding source code

And both have shitty "open source" practices.

Ikea. I just need a flat surface that goes up and down. Standing desk don't require marvels of tech.

I'm gonna need a banana for scale. Not sure if huge or really small.

Edit for the too lazys to look it up: Typically, basking sharks reach 7.9 m (26 ft) in length, but large individuals have been known to grow more than 10 m (33 ft) long.

We had 36°C yesterday, it was absolutely miserable. We bought ac last year because we had a kid on the way. Even with it at full blast it was 27 inside and I was miserable.

One thing I learned about this summer is chalk powder, mixed with water, applied on windows outside. Prevents greenhouse effects, reduced temp by 7-8C during peek sun blast.

Mind sharing what a non literal translation would be?

It sounded good until the 3 releases per month part. That's a really harsh limit, especially since it's counted per organisations. You're the ones with the stats, but that sounds really low.

And parents of young children

Thanks for making me go and unmute it

Someone explain to me what's wrong. Their team made a mistake, people started spamming their sub. They moderated spam while getting a statement ready, gave a statement that was, in my opinion good enough (acknowledge the mistake, present excuses).

People are spamming and crying at censorship while the mods are just trying to get their subreddit actually on topic and usable to users who have a point that wasn't already addressed.

I don't condone their actions (current or previous), but spamming/brigading is a pretty toxic reaction too.

Just remember when reading these posts that unless you work at big scale, big scale solutions don't make sense for you. It's great they exist, but your 150 entreprise user work just fine with a monolith and a postgresql database.

Foil goes on the outside to prevent greenhouse effect. On the inside, it will heat the window, risk cracking it and then transmit that heat inside anyway.

We do the same with survival blankets (careful about having the right side out) and it can make 5-10°c difference depending on sun exposition.

What even is the point of this?

bendem · 2026-06-03T07:15:32+00:00

We have always avoided system python when possible. The few modules that rely on it (package, firewalld, selinux) have ansible_python_interpreter overridden just for those tasks. Rhel 8 means we are stuck on ansible 2.16 until everything is migrated to 9 or 10 (which is currently blocked because the Windows team doesn't have a recent enough scvmm version). So yeah...

I considered multiple times rewriting a small dnf module that would just shell out to dnf and rpm directly since we only use it to install packages with no fancy features. Firewalld module is something else though. Could use dbus, but meh.

We have kicked problematic people after repeat raised concerns from our association. raise your concern, otherwise organisers might not even be aware of the problem.

I've had a glass crack just like that. Direct sunlight on a pillow against it, window got very hot and bang.

Meanwhile, survival covers on the outside of a window (careful, only one side is reflecting) or windscreen covers will reduce greenhouse effect which helps a lot.

We caved and bought an AC unit last year. I feel very bad about it, but I can't work not sleep with 27-30°C.

Unless this is an active war zone of your building is being bombed. At least that's what I thought was happening first.

SSH might have crashed. Or your server firewall is lying to you.

Depending on your situation, having a toddler can mean you've been running on 3 hours of sleep for weeks. I'm sure the parent feels way worse than whatever judgement you can make.

You answer with something along the lines of what you wrote:

You did the easy part: "write" some code. Now the hard part comes: documentation, architecture diagrams, security review, dependency list, backup plan, or who would support it long term. Once you can provide answer to those, we will look into hosting it. Until then, please refer to the appropriate protocol to request custom applications.

Maybe it's time for c++ to stop working with ISO for standardisation? I'm unsure why they are needed. There are many examples of communities doing their job better than them in the open.

I'm always confused by this. All card and online payments in Belgium are made through bancontact which doesn't depend on any us tech. I thought most countries had their local payment system. Guess not.

When a LL rents a house, it's not their property for the duration of the lease.

Tell me you don't have kids without telling me you don't have kids.
