E.g., for rolling daily backups, something like

ls -l *.backup | mail -s "backup done" me@foo.dk, someoneelse@bar.dk

even for successful cron jobs. That way you can check file sizes, timestamps, etc.

That way I will notice if something is not working, even if emails are also not working, the server is down etc. It requires of course that you actually read those emails. But at least if people have accepted to check them, they cannot complain. Well, they can of course, but then I can also blame them.

But it is not a goldmine. Dogs, cats etc have better teeth and like to eat a lot of meat, that humans generally does not eat: rabbit ears, tendons, throats, noses, etc.

Insect food is not that cheap. A lot of pet stores give out free treat samples. My dog normally loves all treats, but refuses to eat the the insect treats (before I realize they are made from insects).

I am sure there are companies making a good living making insect pet food. But it is probably not that obvious a choice.

The bubble burst in 2000-2001, Google IPO was in 2004.

The S&P500 also did not do very well at the time.

That is the problem with bubbles.

Because why would you want to make phone calls in the first place and not just send an email, or an SMS?

Because of spam filters and because people do not read their emails immediately because we get so many. But now we just get the same with phone calls.

It was already bad enough with fake Microsoft support.

Or you need something that is broken by snap. I helped a user after thunderbird after an upgrade could no longer open PDF-s in okular. It turned out that the thunderbird dpkg had been replaced with a snap and I spent quite some time trying getting it to work, filed bug reports, etc, before giving up and installing from Mozilla until I replace it all with Debian.

But Daigle probably did consider being liable and what would be morally justified.

It must have been tempting to try to use the Catwatchful app to notify the victims that they are being stalked. E.g., by getting phone numbers or social media handles and then SMS/DM the victims (if the app reveals the victims handles in the recorded conversations)

Or getting the IMEI numbers and handing them over to network operators or local authorities who could do the notification.

It would probably help many victims, but it could go wrong in some cases.

== The Victoria Line average temperature in August last year was 60% higher in temperature than the average external temperature that month, measured at 19.5 degrees. ==

Certainly for January it must have been hundreds of percent higher.

And what would the numbers be for e.g., the Moscow metro in winter months where the average outside temperature is negative?

Maybe it is a matter of quality. Because of course you can find routes fast if they are not the fastest or best routes.

But there is room for improvement. brouter could be integrated even better. Or a router like that could be used directly in OsmAnd.

And long routes could be handled more flexible. E.g., when I go from Copenhagen to Barcelona, it is not super important at first to find the optimal way into Barcelona, or shortcuts in France using regional roads. It will take several days, but I would like to start with a reasonable route giving me an estimate of distance and time. At first I just need a good route to the Great Belt Bridge or the Rødby ferry -- Copenhagen is on an island.

When I drive long distances, I sometimes use several devices. The Xzent system is much faster for longer distances, but the map is not as good, especially it is missing may POI's.

Often they disagree, especially if one is optimizing for distance and other for fuel or time. Then if there is an obstacle or a bad road, I instantly have a good alternative at an intersection.

Navigation apps such as OrganicMaps and OsmAnd filter OSM data, and package it in way that takes up less space. I.e., it will omit individual trees, manholes, etc. It also omits tags from OSM objects that it does keep.

This is all to to make it possible to fit enough maps on a phone and also there have code that can use that data (for searching and displaying)

Take for example Motorhome stopovers (I have edited at lot of those). OsmAnd has name, opening, hours, power_supply, fees, dump_stations, toilets, showers, phone numbers, website, and a few more tags. But not water_point (although it has drinking_water which is not used much for stopovers).

OrganicMap has much fewer tags for motorhome stopovers.

There has been some efforts to make computer languages with local (non-english) keywords. Most have fortunately already failed horribly.

But it still exists, e.g. in spreadsheet formulas.

In some cases even number formatting (decimal separators) are affected.

The wikimedia app could be improved a lot to support OSM. It is a bit of a hassle to take a picture, upload it to commons, then add both categories and concepts, then open an OSM editor, find the object, and add the wikimedia_commons tag.

It would be much more helpful if you could search for an object in OsmAnd/organicmaps etc, take a picture, have it uploaded to wikimedia providing default categories based on OSM tags, and then have it added to OSM. It could also help create wikimedia categories if necessary.

But even if it somehow was a good gamble, that it not how Free Software projects should work. Free software should prioritize the wishes of users. If a lot of firefox users collectively decided to give up some privacy to avoid loosing more privacy, that is their choice, but that is not what have been happening.

Using this kind of defeatist arguments, there is no end to backdoors and compromises that can be defended.

I would prefer Mozilla to fight in the arms race.

I also wonder: what is the next step? I.e., why would advertizing trust firefox instances. It is tempting to create a fork of Firefox that use and manipulate this API in all kind of ways.

IC3 was the first generation of this kind of trains, having 3 carriages in a train set: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSB_Class_MF

Both IC4 and IC2 came after IC3.

I made a picture frame project a long time ago (> 15 years according to file timestamps) https://agol.dk/elgaard/picframe.html

I think it is overkill to use a browser just to show images. feh still works great if you are running linux/unix

I also still would prefer to sync pictures using ssh and maybe rsync on top.

Some of those e.g., Coen, Derk, Gerbrand in the "Usage of X in different languages / cultures" only has a checkmark for Dutch.

It has two monitors, and an extra keyboard and mouse. The microHmdi->HDMI cables you can get for 2 dollars each.

It paid for itself in saved electricity bills in about a month (it replaced older computers and I set it up just when electricity went through the roof here in Europe).

On the other hand I did not need wifi or bluetooth. But wireless, and the extra HDMI probably does not add much to the price. I think Raspberry made reasonable choices regarding ports, etc.

host *.*.*.*

hostname 64:ff9:%h

(without the empty line)

Also work with scp, rsync,

And I have an old Blackberry Bold that now show current electricity prices, so I know when to starte my washing machine. That can also run on own webserver.
