    @dans_root weil diese leider nach wie vor einer der größten Indikatoren hierzulande ist, ob man gewisse Privilegien genießen kann oder nicht.

    Und wenn selbst jemand, der quasi mit allen Privilegien gesegnet ist, die man hierzulande haben kann, seinen Beruf nicht mit der Familie vereinbaren kann, ist das ein Indikator dafür, dass manche Dinge leider nach wie vor fundamental schief laufen.

    @Jessica it was explicitly stated when those features were introduced, that they're meant to be building blocks for a later real tiling implementation either within or 3rd party extensions.

    • Trump's site made $4M in revenue last year, little more than average McDonald's (but less than Chick-fil-A)
    • Executives got $600,000 "retention bonuses" even though company lost $58 million last year
    • Trump Media called this a "ridiculous hit piece" even though it's all their own numbers

    Würde das Leder nicht für gutes Geld verkauft, müsste das Fleisch deutlich teurer sein um die Gewinne zu sichern. Dadurch lohnt sich die Haltung/Schlachtung deutlich weniger und es gäbe weniger Antrieb, überhaupt dieses ökosystemzerstörende Business zu betreiben.

    Progress(?) in my battle against the touchpad…

    I've got udev rules that trigger a shell script when I turn the mouse off/on. That's the first part!

    Still haven't been able to find a way to use libinput, kcfg (Python CLI for modifying KDE settings), probably something else to disable the touchpad or stop processing its events.

    Die Bahn erwägt zur Bekämpfung ihrer systemischen Krise einen Einstellungsstopp und eine Haushaltsperre. Klingt wie ein Plan, wenn man sich den Zustand der Bahn so ansieht–also so zwischen akuten Sanierungsstau und Personalmangel. Was könnte da besser helfen, als ein Einstellungs- und Ausgabenstopp?

    Hello, it's me, a trusted expert in open source computing with nearly two decades of experience. I wrote this article. I could not, for the life of me, figure out why my the official Docker image was suddenly refusing to bind to port 80 in the container.

    (Edited to add: resolved after nearly a day of hair-pulling because @eliasp nudged me in the right direction.)

    @xahteiwi because your container is rootless and port 80 is privileged (<=1024)?

    Today I'm launching a project I've been working on for several months - a browsable directory of self-hosted software:

    https://selfh.st/blog/introducing-selfhst-apps/

    It's a supplemental tool to Awesome-Selfhosted and meant to be an alternate view focused on details that I personally find more relevant. And more importantly - it'll always be up-to-date as it's built on the dataset I use to monitor updates and releases for This Week in Self-hosted.

    Feel free to reach out with feedback!

    Is there some sort of systemd event or trigger when a Bluetooth I/O device (a mouse in my case) is attached or removed?

    eliasp,

    @Taffer each device is represented by a device unit.
    Compare the output of "systemctl --legend=no list-units --type=device" when your device is connected and when it isn't.

    Use this, to trigger a service unit that does, whatever you want to when the device is connected, e.g. through "BindsTo="

    Just to note: the OpenLDAP Project has never required copyright assignment - code you contribute is yours, forever. The Project only requires that your contribution be made available under the terms of the OpenLDAP Public License, or compatible terms.

    This also means the code the Project distributes can never be unilaterally relicensed by the Project itself, since it doesn't own all of the code.

    You should never agree to sign away ownership of your creations.
