We are writing to inform you that we have discovered two Home Assistant integration plug-ins developed by you ( github.com/Andre0512/hon and github.com/Andre0512/pyhOn ) that are in violation of our terms of service
Did the guy explicitly agree to their Terms of service? If not, how can he be in breach of them?
cease and desist all illegal activities
What illegal activities exactly?
Feels like unenforceable scare tactics, but IANAL.
If I create a OSS app with analytics to detect & log crashes with feature use, is it a bad practice? I think analytics is really helpful in finding:-...
It takes years to build a good reputation in OSS, and only one dumb thing (like opt-out of personal data) to ruin it.
(Yes, IPs may be considered personal data in that they can be used to identify individuals, and so subject to the GDPR and, potentially, the very high fines associated with that. Unless you’re evil, don’t collect any personal or identifying data unless you absolutely have to, and very triple sure the user knows what you’re sending and why)
I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there’s always something that doesn’t work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven’t been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there’s always something that’s broken in every distro....
(Looks at laptop I’m using to reply to this that’s running Debian)
Server OS? Debian? Yes it is, but it’s also a Desktop and Laptop OS and many other things. Everything on this HP laptop just worked, including the function buttons. There’s a reason it’s such a well used distro, and it’s not just because it’s good for servers.
So, I just found out about a programme called SynthShell which kind of does the work for you and gives you a nice looking shell, the thing is that this also creates some config files and other stuff in my system, instead of just one .bashrc file to edit. What would be the best way to learn to have a nice looking bash where I can...
Ubuntu seems like it has the best compatibility, but any other suggestions for data wrangling, data analysis, data visualization, and machine learning in Julia, Python and R?
We use EL (Specifically Rocky, a rebuild of Redhat) for this, but I strongly suspect that any of the main distros will be absolutely fine provided they have modern enough versions of the software you need.
Overwriting or editing a post will almost certainly just create a new revision of it in their database. All these tools work on the basis that doesn’t happen, but that deletion is a flag rather than a drop, which is pretty inconsistent. The reality in every large cms/forum software I’ve used is that revisions are the norm.
Reddit have the ability to keep all revisions of all posts made on their servers - they may even be legally required to do so. If a police agency requires evidence relation to a post on reddit linked to terrorism, they’re not going to be pleased if it is so easily eradicated. Some people think that GDPR gives them the absolute right for their data to be removed - but not if it conflicts with other laws and legal requirements, and even sometimes commercial interests (See “legitimate interest”)
Bottom line is - if you don’t want something to potentially exist forever, don’t post it on the internet and pass control of it to others.

Dust is a rewrite of du (in rust obviously) that visualizes your directory tree and what percentage each file takes up. But it only prints as many files fit in your terminal height, so you see only the largest files. It’s been a better experience that du, which isn’t always easy to navigate to find big files (or atleast...
I admin around three hundred linux servers and this is one of my most common tasks - although I use -shc as I like the total too, and don’t bother with less as it’s only the biggest files and dirs that I’m interested in and they show up last, so no need to scrollback.
When managing a lot of servers, the storage requirements when installing extra software is never trivial. (Although our storage does do very clever compression and it might recognise the duplication of the file even across many vm filesystems, I’m never quite sure that works as advertised on small files)

I suspect you haven’t worked with governments before.
Just because something is technically possible, it’s no guarantee that it will be the chosen mechanism for something. More likely the contract will be awarded to either the lowest possible bidder, or to a friend of a friend. Cronyism is depressingly common at all levels.
Well I’m just about fed up with streaming bullshit. I currently have a home server that’s just a raspberry pi4 with a bunch of docker containers and it served my light usage well....
I’m sure plenty will disagree with me, but unless you have specific needs, I’d suggest spending more time sourcing your media rather than rely on transcoding. Most formats of popular stuff are available and Jellyfin will happily play it natively.
Also be aware that transcoding is VERY cpu intensive, unless you have a compatible gpu/transcoder. I run a ML110 with a 6-core Xeon (12 threads) and if Jellyfin needs to transcode something, it uses all of that and still stutters badly when seeking.
If you do need to transcode because you can’t source the media in a compatible way - you may want to use something like Tdarr to transcode it before you try to play it, so it’s ready when you are.
If all the seemingly pointless discussions about which distro is better comes from attachment to a spesific distro and if a distro is just a way to interract with linux than all the discussion about witch distro is better etc. fundementally comes from a a place of love and appreciation for Linux as an OS....
“I use A, so A must be better than B. Otherwise I’m wrong, and I don’t like that.”
The reality, of course, is that there is no “Best distro” for all use cases, and personal choice is absolutely a qualifier in defining those use cases. If your personal requirement is for a neon pink desktop and rather aged theming aimed at little girls, then you’ve absolutely chosen “The best distro” for you and don’t let anyone tell you differently.
Either you’re trolling - in which case, sod off back to Reddit - or you have a woeful misunderstanding of how Linux user permissions work.
Please explain how someone might “simply change” someone else’s .bashrc without either already having access to that user account, or root access on the whole machine?
Glad we (UK) are not the only country with politicians who make dramatic statements about online policies in the hope of gaining notoriety, without knowing what the merry fuck is involved or even if it’s technically possible.
the sales person at GitLab ghosted me on 3 consecutive calls that we set up to discuss our needs).
I’m guessing they looked at your company and decided you weren’t worth enough to them.
We found Gitlab’s pricing to be, frankly, ridiculous for the number of seats we have. Shame, the product is nice, just the sales team and pricing structure blows goats.
One problem is… when you want to allow a blocked domain. It can be time consuming and confusing trying to track down which one of those things is actually stopping you.
