Do you mean self-awareness like when a dog turns to snap at your hand when you pull it’s tail? It sure enough seems to be aware that it’s a being with a tail.
Huh, I had no idea that tractors etc. were also facing this no-self-repair crap. Always though them to be something like the gold standard of repairability… but apparently it was just the old ones.
This would be useful! I never remember the correct URL format for subscribeable community. And for non-techy people the task of finding it can be downright impossible.
Isn’t this to be expected sooner or later anyway? There are only so many useful discoveries to be made, though I’m not saying that the present decline is because of this limit.
Alternativeto is not itself FOSS or anything, but it's nonetheless a handy tool for finding open alternatives for proprietary software & services.
There's an _Open Source_ filter under _Licenses_.
I've found a lot of good stuff there.
I didn't realize that being a supporter would warrant me *a real paper bulletin!*
What a pleasant surprise. Feels way more personal than some pdf file which I wouldn't likely read.
Would it still be feasible to self-host behind a proxy of some sort? So other’s never see your home server but you nonetheless have your mailbox in your living room.
I’m mostly thinking about services like AnonAddy and SimpleLogin.
This seems really cool. I’ve been perfectly content on just snapping windows to screen edges, but now with a big 4k monitor I often find myself manually fiddling with window sizes. Gotta give this a try.
Probably it wouldn’t be too hard to piece together an aggregate view of several (likeminded) communities. But obviously you couldn’t post into this view directly.
but to use it as a “real” license would mean you hope one day to use it in the statist legal system and i really question the legitimacy it would have there.
This is also a major point. Why beta-test an untested license, when there are plenty of solid licenses to choose from?
I’m no fan of capitalism, but to me open-source is more important than keeping capitalists away. AGPL would have been the correct choice of license IMO. It’s also pretty effective at repelling corporations.
Does podman run (among other commands) have a noconfirm type of option/config? Like apt's `$ apt-get install --yes pacman`, which will install pacman and automatically answer yes to any questions that might pop-up.
In podman, when you have a conf like this in */etc/containers/registries.conf:*
`
unqualified-search-registries = ['some-mirror.org', 'docker.io']
`
and you run something like:
`$ podman run -it --rm archlinux bash -C "echo hello world"`
It might happen that both of those registries have a container called `archlinux`. In this case podman will stop and ask you to choose. I would like to just default to the first option.
Here's a blog post about container registries and podman (which didn't help but it's still interesting): https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/manage-container-registries
For the first time ever I had to manually download dictionary files (to my e-reader). So I headed online expecting to find a clear king-of-the-hill free & open English-English dictionary, but it turned out that this was easier said than done.
With my brief search I found the *StarDict* dictionaries, available [here](https://sites.google.com/site/gtonguedict/home/stardict-dictionaries).
So, this is thread about open dictionaries!
- Share you're favourite dictionaries
- Is StarDict the go-to?
- General thoughts on the matter
This at least seems like a good sign, although it could also be the action of a company that evaluates the risk of getting caught high.
