https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/blame/dev/LICENSE <-- that’s … a rather specific and recent change. Is there a story here ?

You are aware that draw.io is itself open source and self-hostable: https://github.com/jgraph/drawio ?

Biden did get some new appointees on the board: https://federalnewsnetwork.com/people/2022/05/usps-board-is-now-mostly-biden-picks-following-latest-senate-confirmations/ but i’m not sure what the hold up is now.

edit: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/07/25/president-biden-announces-nominees-4/ more recent additional nominees.

Price fixing is a problem because of the power imbalance between businesses selling products, and individual consumers that need to buy them.

Worker unions are a solution to that power imbalance.

I hear ya. I know they’re not all old, and I know they are not all weird. I’m just amused that it seems that such a trite + petty label is finally rankling their jimmies because all the other labels that stunningly apply to a lot of the conservatives in office don’t seem to bother them in the least. As if … they already knew about the other ones. The MAGA conservatives waste no time slinging all sorts of generalized labels, thinking that it makes them seem stronger, but in reality, it’s just … weird.

Because they’re old, and weird.

They also made RIPTerm and RIPscript iirc. Those were the days…….

They are also using this as an excuse to get customers on their data hoovering apps to get access to any of the best deals.

Amoral? “Thou shall not bear false witness …” That’s one of the big ten list …

At $dayjob I switched from Apache to nginx 15+ years ago. It’s Callback/Event based process model ran circles around Apache’s pre-fork model at the time. It was very carefully developed to be secure, and even early on it had a good track record. Being able to have nginx handle static content without tying up a backend worker process was huge, and let us scale our app pretty well for the investment of time. Since then, Apache implemented threaded + Event based process models, Caddy, traefik, and a bunch of others have entered the scene.

TBH, I think the big thing nowadays is sane defaults, and better configuration, even automatically discovered configuration – traefik is my current favorite for discovering hosts in consul/Kubernetes/simple host definition files, but since traefik can’t directly serve files, I simply proxy from traefik to … nginx :)

Navidrome is another server that works pretty well, implements the subsonic protocol ( so all the apps that can cache and stream to your mobile device work). You can have multiple logins, or just share out playlists and albums individually to non-authenticated users.

https://pairdrop.net is FOSS, cross platform, realtime, peer-to-peer, and only needs a browser. You can host your own version if you prefer. In contrast, Firefox Send (also FOSS) was ‘asynchronous’ (you could upload, and then email a link), but it was shut down due to abuse. https://github.com/timvisee/send is a fork of the archived github project that you can self host with many improvements, notably authentication, so only yourself and trusted users can upload. (edit: wrong link for ff send)

I see this said every time this comes up.

Are there any efforts starting or even attempting this? Or even taking an existing printer and replacing it’s main board?

These hips don’t lie

IMAP on O365 now requires “Modern Auth”, which requires OAuth to authenticate access to mailboxes. Anything that connects via IMAP will need to be approved by the admins at this point (Including Thunderbird). Without the cooperation of your organization’s IT team, you are not going to get far.

Linux. (ducks)

You can lose your Google account in the blink of an eye with no recourse, no access to support or anything.

With local and my own backups, I can choose to put them at any location, cloud or local.

“Automatic content recognition” https://advertising.roku.com/resources/blog/insights-analysis/acr-the-future-of-tv-and-audience-data#! Roku is not the only ones doing it :(

And before anyone says we’re snowflakes and can’t take a joke – he’s not joking. This was not a joke. Vote accordingly, and be warned, you do NOT want to be living in a dictatorship.

I worry too – if this gets any significant uptake, what’s stopping Reddit from shutting off the spigot? Given their reasons for turning the screws on API and other policy changes, they may not take kindly to having “their” content re-posted elsewhere, let alone to a system designed specifically to escape reddit.
