In the past I've been hacked for some owncloud lldap vulnerability.

Do not allow access to owncloud without a vpn!!

I see absolutely nothing special in a pc that lives 10 years. Most pc last that long. And my centrino-1 vaio laptop from 2004 is still alive

bringing back species because we'd like to taste them is somehow interesting

I have a 2000 days streak... I finished the Japanese course twice, all gold. Now they changed and I am at unit ~45/90. It will take me ~45months to finish it again.

And I am still not able to understand even a basic Japanese dialogue

I wonder if Rosetta Stone is better

yCloser — Tue, 29 Nov 2022 08:20:32 +0000

I'm a huge fun of Beyond Burger. It's awesome!

...but it is so expensive. In my country (EU) it's easily 2x the price of real meat. And sells frozen in packs of 10. And there is ONE store that sells it.

At reduced price, packs of 2 would be a hit. Like this it's "yeah I tried it once, it was good... nope, not going to buy again"

His family should have monitored his online activity but failed horribly to do so.

#1 Problem is: sweat

Even in winter, after a couple of minutes the headset screen is completely foggy and my head is uncomfortable

I tried the oculus, htc, cardboards... all the same. At this point I think this technology will simply not work for me

or simply set up another vlan for the cameras (and this does not require any configuration on the cameras, just on the switch)

brace brace, because in EU salary are more in the 50k range than in the 100k range.

Here "what would you do for +10k" -> "ANYTHING"

1. he tried to monetize a game that should have been free/ads

2. the time tracker could have worked! Not "I'm gonna be rich" worked but still could have been something.

3,4. he didn't do them

5. tried to compete against linkedin/facebook?!

IMHO we are always too oriented to "make money, NOW"... Doing free stuff is ok. It's not that "if it's free then scrape the whole project, what's the point anyway"!

The opensource/free stuff you make ends up in your CV, and could be a game changer

EU here, things seem pretty good here.

* I ordered 20kg of oranges from sicily, no shipping costs, arrived in 2days

* Coffee, same thing

* a bass guitar, same

* groceries are delivered in a day from local shops

* for electronics i bought from many shops, usually takes ~1week. still OK for a washing machine or those big items

...seems that "the infrastructure" that amazon required for ups/dhl/* are being used by any other (even tiny) buisiness.

My only complain is Ikea. Ikea doesn't cooperate.
