Mind ELI5ing this? it seems neat

Isn't the "flat markup" for inline elements in prosemirror kind of unnatural to work on html?

I'm skeptical:

* Where do you buy a ≤20 euro bike?

* Most people on the street have bikes that look to be at least 200 euros new, from what I can tell.

It's interesting how there is now

* Maddy: https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy

* Mox: https://github.com/mjl-/mox

* and Stalwart

which all see to aim for more or less the same niche. I wonder if we'll see two of those merge eventually.

Is the solution against such attacks in the future only to scrutinize more, or are there other reasonable options in terms of hardening?

Mmh, is that a similarity with postmarketos? I have a fuzzy memory that pmbootstrap or some other tool was kind of important to start porting to new devices?

(I wasn't trying to make a point.) As far as I know, that's what the initiatives like PMPC¹ are for. I think in Switzerland, a law recently passed that seems to go in that direction² (Open Source should by default but some leniency as far as I can interpret the text). According to this³ OSOR report, something similar happened in Italy in 2019. So, I think we're slowly going in that direction in Europe.

I'm not sure the distinction is that clean, but isn't ubuntu still based off debian. As in, not a fork that went its own way, but a (big) collection of modifications on top of current debian?

Re internationalization, I think you're right. I don't have experience building app/websites, a fortiori with internationalization, so I threw this question in with the lot!

I've skimmed at the docs, and it's not clear to me how it would deal with:

* Something like row-level access control, so that people can only access the data in tables that belong to them (say clients can only view their own purchases, and also not modify them after they checked them out).

* Integration with the rest of the world, e.g. sending email, acting on triggers, etc.

* Something like CSV export/import.

* Internationalization.

Would that all be possible? Straightforward? Do those all require extending (with go or js)?

Looks like a nice tool.

New comment by notyoutube in "DIY ventilation heat exchanger (2010)"

notyoutube — Sat, 23 Dec 2023 09:39:23 +0000

Reacting to your first point: As far as I know (western europe), heatpumps mostly are used to heat water to then heat your house, and renovating generally means reducing breathability of the house itself, which, combined with the temp difference, means condensation/mold problems. You then have to correct that by opening windows intelligently or installing air ventilation, and then a heat exchanger to not lose too much heat. Like you say, it seems to be a no-brainer then to instead combine heat pump _and_ ventilation, so that the ventilation itself works with a heat pump.

The only counter-argument I have is that if all the heating were done using ventilation, you might have to live in a very windy house, but I feel like entirely decoupling the two is not the best solution to that problem…

I would expect heating to be one of the electricity use that you _can_ adapt the easiest. First by using heatpumps instead of resistors, and then with some inertia management to buffer (e.g. water tanks, or something)

Isn't that the case?

Better phrased than I did, thanks. How feasible do you think such an endeavour would be? What are the roadblocks to people doing that right now?

I mean, it would be a step in a better direction, wouldn't it? One might start with something like aosp/lineage and potentially fork from there if needs be, or ask of companies to support this alternative rom, etc.

Sad to hear. It feels like the EU could fund some entity to manage, develop and distribute such a degoogled android with only a very small fraction of its other spendings, and that would help a lot with reducing google/apple's hold on the european market… A cheap deal.

I'm using microg's lineage, and something I was wondering when choosing a rom was, how secure are all those roms in terms of supply chain/developpers. There are many, with no big reassuring name behind, and it's hard to trust that what looks like a random rom from the internet is not just a full trojan horse.

It would be nice to have just the one or two options, with app store and some kind of official entities backing (say, states, or universities, or distros).
