I'm happy it's still useful

Can you add words to the local spellcheck dictionary on nextcloud yet? There seem to be so many little corners like that that are just broken.

How do you get security monitoring and reliable patching? And what happens when the one sysadmin burns or?

I've still never found an answer of how to get meaningful security monitoring for an NGOs hosted nextcloud install. Even if they get it working and have someone to patch it, it will eventually get popped and how are they even going to know?

I think you're either going to end up with effectively monopoly hosted services or local clients which may be monopoly or may be spec-interop and then commodity managed storage — because the latter case is simple enough that everyone can actually run their own individually.

Yeah. I guess I think that most of the existing options for that basically don't work. They require a layer of small businesses or volunteer sysadmins that don't exist and address unlikely to be stable. Heck, even getting stuff functional for groups with existing centrally hosted stuff is a lift.

I'm thinking something that gives you the experience of live collaborative editing and document sharing that you get with Drive, but without it being a web app.

Honestly, I think local clients with network storage and decentralized sharing might be the better way to go. Otherwise, it's not really a commodity hosted service and I think you're always going to have monopoly pressure

I really wish any of the online foss tool suites would work on ux polish so the experience of using them didn't suck so much. If the hosting isn't going to be centralized, then it also needs to somehow not need someone to be a sysadmin to get backups and monitoring working.

Yeah, if I didn't care about nightlife or, like, run a night club and a chunk of the dyke march, I could maybe give it up... I've been off it a couple months, actually, but that'll need to end soon

And yeah, I guess there is stuff on telegram here, but I absolutely refuse to install it. It helps that Finland invented sms, so that's the fallback for everything here.

Yeah, Facebook used to be essential here. It's a bit of a ghost town now. Not being on Instagram would be much harder. Thankfully almost everyone I actually talk to is on signal

Huh. I did? But maybe France is harder

While modern small arms (excepting shotguns) specify ammunition by caliber, which is to say diameter, artillery has helpfully kept things interesting by using the word caliber to describe the length of the barrel in multiples of its diameter — the barrel of a 50-caliber 100mm howitzer is 5m long.

Matthew Shepard died on October 12th in 1998, 28 years ago. His ashes were interred at Washington National Cathedral 20 years later, in 2018, because before Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson offered the Cathedral's crypt, his family had no place for him that would be safe from desecration.

"Men read less than women, this must be because—" You awake in your bed, bolt upright. It is 1972 and you are Bob Metcalfe. Ethernet must never be allowed to happen.

It's so cool to see that this is an arena gig
