Softwaere engineer in Switzerland, I work 36h a week, 5 days a week. I start at 8:30 and usually work till 16:30 which gives me plenty of time for my hobbies. Company is fully owned by its workers which is not bad eithet even though 50℅ belong to the top C-suite managers (which they bough from their bosses when they left the company, so the shares do stay with the employees). I make around 110k CHF a year (which is nice as I only pay like 6k in income tax). Pretty happy.

Yes, but I actually would pay them for their services if they guarantee me that they will use that money to improve Firefox and Firefox services. I want to be a premium user of Firefox, but instead of trying to monetize their core userbase they annihilate them.

I actually like their advertising business idea and their other services and I understand that they need money but is whay they are doing right now really the best way?

Firefox, while I dislike their new FAQ and TOS I build it from source and the TOS does not apply.

I wish they would make Firefox Sync a self hostable product that they also host for you for like 5 bucks a month. I would pay for it (or any other way to directly give money to FX instead of Mozilla) like I do for Bitwarden.

This is perfectly legal, the law only says that the user must freely choose to allow the website to save said data. You can opt out here and not use that website.

Yeah quite nice, I am now looking for the same on their Android app but it does not seem to exist. Have to try their WebDAV server, sounds like a potential solution around it.

Is there a way to sync folders with local folders? I usually sync my pictures/documents/etc folders with their local equivalent.

Valve is such a weird company, on one hand they do things like this, on the other hand there is CS gambling.

Yeah it is awesome, it just cost me a year of my professional career without any real benefits…

And our military is mostly regarded as a joke, I am seriously not sure why we even have it. It would probably collapse in days if it needs to defend our country.

I mean their printers have a lot going for then. Easy setup, maintenance and they just work with basically no down-time. And for a long time they were just unbeatable when it came to the speed and quality of the prints.

The move now is terrible but people recommending them is just logical.

Friday is movie night, tomorrow will be some sport climbing and Sunday maybe sleeping in and playing some games.

That made it so much easier when I eventually will upgrade my printer… should have gone with Prusa in the first place.

My Laptop and Phone have encrypted drives, my Desktop doesn’t.

And what does the majority of players use to install and play games? Yes, Steam.

Also 78 of the 100 top games on Steam just run on Linux and 90 with some tinkering. Not really sure where that 99% comes from.

In Switzerland there is an app called Alertswiss which gets published by the government. They use it for critical alerts and you can also use it to see open warnings and where in the country there might be stuff happening.

Just do the same @California

The article says declining, not collapsed. The EU says it has to move quickly but with a potential shift (due to right-wing and conservative parties regaining power) from renewables to nuclear that could fail.

I mean the reason for why this happened is clear, Europe always relied on cheap Russian gas which is, at least for people who have just a sliver of humanity, a no go and there is no cheap replacement except for renewables. I guess if the Germans would have invested in renewables earlier on this whole issue would not exist.

I had the unfortunate experience that major upgrades on Debian did break the system twice alreay (different servers though). Doing small, incremental package upgrades seems like less of a risk, I can more easily track major package upgrades.

Also it is my homelab, not a production environment, a place where I try new things and play around. So curiosity is always a reason as to why I do things as well.

Moving my servers to Arch (EOS) as my trial for one during 2024 was successful, rock solid. Swapping my router to a Unifi Express as I am switching to an ISP which finally allows me to do so.

I love modlogs, otherwise I wouldn’t have known who wasn’t able to just tell me that I was mistaken and I could have accepted that but had to immediately remove a comment and apply a ban. Imagine we don’t behave like reddit users and have civilized conversations.

And yeah, hiding their username was a respectable move.

Edit: Look at that, my unciviliced post just got removed. This is painful to watch. Imagine getting called out for misuing your mod privileges.
