  • Jensen Huang: Israel has become Nvidia’s second home

    Jump

  • I'll disagree. The Israeli leadership is doing horrible things and the only way for those of us not in Israel to attempt to stop them is to boycott all of Israel - we have no way of picking and choosing products/services from Israel that will help/hurt the regime. Moves like this by NVIDIA are seen as subverting the boycott in a very significant way and draw out the negative responses you see here. The only people that can legitimately change the Israeli leadership are the Israeli people and they are going to face negative opinions from outside until they do. I understand very well that I'm extremely lucky that I live in a country that has not been taken over by fascists and I do what I can to keep it that way.

  • Trump’s Letter to Norway Should Be the Last Straw

  • I can't remember the timeline - whichever came first should have been the last.

  • Earth needs more energy. Atlanta’s Super Soaker creator may have a solution.

  • Thank you. I made a comment about it being a shame that we don't capture the waste heat from some process a while back and someone quipped something like "2nd law of thermodynamics moment". I went and did some reading, but couldn't make sense of it. Your explanation makes sense.

  • Open Source Developers Are Exhausted, Unpaid, and Ready to Walk Away

    Jump

  • You are correct - they have no legal obligation. They do however have a moral obligation. It seems to me that if corporations want to be people when it comes to things like political donations then they should be people when it comes to their moral obligations as well.

  • I think the bigger question is how many corporations are supporting foss projects? I'm sure a lot of us contribute a bit here and there if we can and I'm sure it makes a difference - but if some of these corporations, making billions of dollars profit, contribute just a tiny fraction of their wealth it could make a huge difference.

    It's the same argument as recycling, turning off lights, walking instead of driving etc. etc. - yes there are 8 billion of us and if we all do it, it will make a difference, but the difference we make is still not significant compared to corporate greed.

    We are being gaslit to accept yet another scenario where we socialize the cost and privatize the profit.

  • PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners

    Jump

  • Interesting - mine is syncthing-fork 1.30.0.4. When I go to the App Info page it says "App installed from F-Droid" and when I tap on that button I get a small pop-up that says "No such app found."

  • PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners

    Jump

  • I installed mine from F-Droid. I just went there to turn off updates and it doesn't exist. I have not been paying attention so it may have been gone for ages and not related?

  • Demolition company tearing down White House flooded with negative reviews

    Jump

  • They're getting paid by the government, not trump personally - I'm assuming they'll get paid much more than the job is actually worth, possibly as payment for some previous or future job for trump. There will be some angle to every contact issued for the whole project.

  • I read yesman's comment as agreeing with the sentiment in the op, not arguing against it?

  • DDR4 costs soar as manufacturers pull the plug — panic buying and stockpiling impact DDR4 spot pricing as supply dwindles

    Jump

  • I'm not sure - I don't measure it. It's in my home server running Linux. It does everything I want and is >90% idle most of the time - so it's fast enough. And I just realized I lied in my original comment - my laptop has DDR4 RAM, but it's already at max. capacity so I won't have to worry about buying more.

  • DDR4 costs soar as manufacturers pull the plug — panic buying and stockpiling impact DDR4 spot pricing as supply dwindles

    Jump

  • Shouldn't be a problem for me - I plan to skip DDR4 and go straight to DDR5, or maybe what comes after, at some point. Still running 32GB DDR3 here.

  • I totally agree, and I just switched from Windows to Linux for my desktop, but this isn't on Microsoft - it's sanctions on the ICC by the fascist regime running the country where they (Microsoft) are based in support of the fascist regime destroying Gaza. (I know I'm probably over simplifying it, but that's my take on the article)

  • It's a little different, but works. I was in business operations for the last 20 years and relatively proficient with Excel. I'm retired now but I'm treasurer for a small community non profit organization. I recently switched to Linux desktop and found Calc handled my sheets with pivots etc. just fine. About the only thing I'm missing is End-Arrow to move to the last populated cell in a row or column, but not missing it so much that I've tried to figure out how to do it in Calc - yet.

  • I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files?

    Jump

  • simple webdav server that's compatible with the Nextcloud sync clients

    Now THAT is interesting - when I was last experimenting with Nextcloud I learned that the files part is just a webdav server. Unfortunately I also learned that they have a bit of a handshake before the webdav so the client wouldn't work with my apache2 webdav server. Thanks!

  • I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files?

    Jump

  • That seems to be the case. Really sucks that the documentation at nextcloud.com directs people to the AIO. I guess they hope that if you have a bad time trying to install your own server you might buy their cloud service.

  • I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I can see how someone that has "grown up with it" could be happy. But as and experienced sysadmin coming at it for the first time - the documentation is a bit lacking.

  • I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files?

    Jump

  • Because an android client is one of my requirements. I can get files from SMB on Android using any number of file managers, but I can't map a SMB share to a filesystem so files are available for an app to use.

  • I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files?

    Jump

  • Yes! There used to be a little utility that could map a SMB share in Android, but that got killed years ago.
