The pictures are in the blog :(

I edited the post and added what our daughter wrote about her experience too.

I’m using https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/met/

It’s a editor helping you writing it, you cat still go inside and change things manually if you need/want to do that.

That’s why we wrote our thesis in LaTeX: https://github.com/jonte/GGS-report/blob/a9d9d20bcc22a524629e371ce5984f131490b743/report.lyx#L362

I know, but NK politically isn’t that far away from PRC.

After the Covid lockdowns there is a saying in China:

We thought that North Korea is our past, but now we know it’s our future.

Soon it’ll be safer to use a Chinese Linux distribution than Windows.

I never watch the same movie/TV show more than once, so I don’t see a point in hording this data. So for me the UX of streaming is most of the time preferrable than having a physical media which I need to carry to the new appartment every time I move.

This is different with music, where I listen to the same Albums hundrets of times. There I can deal with vinyl and many files on my computer.

But Netflix never let me buy a movie or TV show. They just sell me access to their library for a limited time.

I bought some music from Apple, DRM free and I downloaded it and have it on my own hard drive, and share it between all my devices.

Apple also sells you access to their library for a limited time like Netflix, but then you’re not buying the songs, you’re buying access to them for a limited time.

I’m just confused about why people are so mad about it. In other cases where you rent space to put physical things you own so you can still access them later this happens too. Let’s get into an example, and you guys tell me if I’m misunderstanding something:

If you have a car and have to change between summer and winter tires and you don’t have space at home to store the winter tires during the summer, you can go to a tire-hotel and they will 1. Sell you new tires, 2. switch your tires - a service you pay for - and 3. store the tires for you until next winter - a service you pay for too. Once the company goes out of business (or they focus on a different business) they tell you to get your tires or they will be discarded if you don’t. So you have to get them from them and you stop paying for the storage.

Isn’t it the same with the movies you buy and store at a place where you then rent storage to keep them there? As long as they allow you to download your purchases I see no difference. You can’t make someone else to keep working the same job until the heat death of the universe.

You wouldn’t say that if you ever tried those tomatoes https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2021/01/17/culture/foodTravel/tomango-tomato/20210117130800678.html

I’d even call them candy.

So I guess that would make it more resilient agains Nintendos efforts to destroy all emulators?

Haha, interesting, for me it was the exact opposite, I started with Baikal but it was too weird and I couldn’t get it up and running quickly enough and then I think I was not able to share my calendar with my partner or something, so I switched to Radicale.

Yeah it’s a pitty. For Linux I started writing https://github.com/jeena/jnotes but it will still take a lot of time before it’s usable.

In the end it’s just another devise. But we are not changing the same document at the same time, that would lead to many sync conflicts I imagine. For that some special protocol for concurent Editing would be better.

Calendar, and addressbook actively. File sharing only seldom.

Yeah, I also selfhosted it for years myself. But I was adding more and more services to my server and it became clear that if I would want to keep Nextcloud I’d need a server with more CPU and RAM because when Nextcloud was running it would after half a day deadlock the server with a load of 120 so I had to hard reboot it twice a day.

After replacing it with radicale and syncthing I was able to run Mastodon and Lemmy on the same server additionally.

Syncthing and I have it partitioned with:

• Music
• Documents
• Family Documents
• Password DB

So that I can decide what to sync to which device.Music is for example too big to sync to my Phone so I don’t. Family documents I also share with my partner. Password DB I sync with all my devices but not to anyone else.

Amen 🙏.
