Oh, wow. When I have to use Thunderbird, I never move emails. I manually copy emails to a folder and delete the emails from the old folder after that. I forgot why I have to do this. Now I know again. A lot of people here are speculating that this bug must be very rare. I maintained like 30 Thunderbird installations for other people. This bug bit me at least twice. It can't be that rare.

I was maintaining some debian servers back then, and for more than a decade there was great confusion around python. What you describe as "Sure, many libraries had to change a bit" was a major pain in the butt for many people for many years. I'd describe this as a disaster. The "just start a new project"-mentality is not what happens on servers and companies of the world. They support stacks, that are literary decades old.

I don't know how absolute terrible the database must be, that you are talking about, but I think that managing 10k entries of whatever shouldn't be any problem at all for anything with a CPU and like 640KB of RAM.

Thank you!

I'm trying to evaluate what plakar is. Is it like restic, Borgbackup, Kopia?

PHP watched the absolute disaster of python 2 to 3 version upgrade and rightfully decided that it will be as much backwards compatible as possible.

PHP 10 with a clean slate is a cute idea that would wreak havoc. Perl, or whatever it is called now, tried this and it was a total disaster.

You wrote this: 'Google says "not a security vulnerability", quickly fixes without attribution'.

I'm talking about this. In your "answer" you talk about something else, that just has nothing to do with what I was talking about.

You do this in other threads here. This isn't helpful, or constructive.

Nobody will, or can, help you while you behave like this.

You messed this up in at least 5 different ways. Trying to frame this as an official Google project makes everything else you say worthless. Stay with the facts, or GTFO.

Trying to help making things better is great and the spirit of open source. Trying to create drama is useless and unhelpful.

There is no legal grey zone. Just read the law. In Germany it's the BFSG (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz) and it is much more pleasant than this monster of a word let's you assume.

It mainly boils down to: write ARIA tags and adhere to WCAG version 2.1 level AA.

This is also FUD. Please stop it. The law is for disabled people who need to use important tools online. It is not about some guy who tries to sell his music.

This is unhinged FUD. I have some websites, that needs to adhere to the new rules. It was fairly easy to do. One of them is a react app with mantine components. I was done in less than a day and have not changed the asset size at all.

Smaller companies are exempt from those things. In Germany the rule is less than 10 employees or less than 2 million in sales.

I think this is reasonable. What you are writing feels less reasonable.

I just had to explain to some newbies that SOAP is a protocol with rigid rules; REST is an architectural style with flexibility. The latter means that you have to work and document really well and consumers of the API need tools like Postman etc. to be even able to use the API. With SOAP, you get most of that for free.

You might be standing on a sinking boat. Even Google calls some of their releases "feature drops".

I'm pretty sure, that the BSD family is pretty mature and secure. Linux is just good enough for most people.

Well, happy Streisand effect to you, DocuSign!

Ovh has a lot of products. Some of them are cheap and the services quality acts accordingly. OVH is mostly pretty good.

Well, duh...

A nitpick, that bothers me more, than I'd like to admit: the author talks about the former divide in Germany and the difference between Hamburg and Munich because of that. Problem is, both towns where in west Germany and not divided at all (except of course by the Weißwurstäquator ;-)).

This article really crawled under my skin a decade ago and stayed there. If one likes that feeling, this is a great read. If not, do not read.

no

So, I searched a bit and this github issue just give bad vibes: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/6444

This is also discussed on hn: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39256493

I always wondered how trustworthy rustdesk is. Isn't software like this the perfect attack vector for three letter agencies like free VPNs?

That is a very useful information, thank you!

My employer currently pays a lot of money for TeamViewer licenses, just to connect to some internal machines.

I wondered also, but then I've read to the end of the article. The article seems to be a bit disingenuous, because the real, real reason seems to be, that the Bob Ross Inc. respects the wish of Bob Ross to not make his paintings a commodity.

Oh wow, I just discovered that my brain unconsciously had a hard time to differentiate between SSL and TLS. And now, after two friggin decades I find out, why!

While the article is interesting, the lede is buried literally at the very end of the article:

> Ultimately, the real reason there aren’t more Bob Ross paintings up for sale is that the artist never wanted them to be a commodity.

So converting the file to a lossy format, or resizing the image as png will destroy the encoded information? I see why one wants to use it, but I think it can be only useful in a controlled environment. As soon as someone else has access to the file, the information can easily get lost. Just like metadata.

Impressive list, with a strange ending. I'm still blocked by Rebecca, because the project is setup in a way that multiple people are dependent from each other.

This is the state of the Internet since at least 15 years.
