Communities not existing on all instances is a big problem.
  • The only thing that is making me hold out on this experiment is because I am 100% sure that some people will see their posts on a community they never interacted on and they will panic on the grounds of “mah privacy” or something silly like that.

    Don't hold out out of that. There are idiots everywhere and they should not be taken as a good driving force for anything.

    Half the point of the Fediverse is that your activity is public. It's the entire point of why have activity with a community or instance in the first place. Heck, it's "kinda" the name of the protocol: "ActivityPub".

  • Cloudflare blocking AI crawlers
  • Is that why I can no longer go from a web search (eg.: DDG, Ecosia) or forum link to StackOverflow without going through three CF captchas? If AI had not killed SO for me before, this does.

  • A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud
  • Trusting humans (to any extent) is quite vastly different than trusting corporations, to be honest. But if that's your jingle, you can always do the work with a bulk tagger / gallery assembler. No AI, nor environment killing, needed.

  • Linux suffers from a lot of unaddressed security problems.
    • Redundant (it's not the only security mechanism)
    • False / misleading / not-a-Linux issue (more of an internet culture issue).
    • FUD. Wayland is not the only way to go; X11 is pretty mature.
    • FUD with intent to sell Microsoft's "Secure Boot".

    Nice try but doesn't deserve wasting more time on. -4.4/10.

  • Create a string that contains random characters
  • There are various ways to solve the first part and they're pretty generic, the only "C++-specific" part is whether you'll want to build the string step by step (adding characters) or build in one go then modify (build a prearranged string, for example of a specific size, then modify as needed).

    To solve the second part we (you) also need to know the encryption algorithm. "Encrypt" is quite a generic word.

    a small implementation for std::expected for C++11
  • I mean, I am not too concerned and it is your code. The if constexpr is just so much spiffier. You should do what's best for you.

    My own use case is that for pre-C++23 (and in particular, pre-C++20) workflows I'm looking to homogeneize the set of dependencies used to supplement the standard library and this looks like a great candidate lib. I already have my own expected, actually, but would rather someone else's who knows what they're doing. Since C++14 is the oldest standard I have to support directly for clients (big improvement: was C++03 before 2021) and it brought in the big changes that made constexpr actually usable, I treat C++14 as a a sorta "C++ LTS" in my codebase.

  • Kubuntu 25.10 Drops X11 Session for Wayland-Only Install
  • , and we burned it at the stake.

    Gotta love that about FOSS communities. Every time someone tries to do something interesting, we burn them at the stake. It's a classic of the Mozilla fandom, for example.

  • Project resource management? Gantt charts, timelines, etc

    Basically as the title says.

    I'd like to know what is there on selfhosted solutions if people are using any, to keep tabs on stuff for managing projects. But - here's the thing, I want a thing to help take notes, not a thing that's gonna "make decisions" / "suggest a business plan".

    So, basically I'm looking for something self-hosted that incorporates things like (manual!) man-hours tracking, gantt charts, kanban and other organizative diagrams, general (ie.: not "code-oriented") issue tracker.

    Ideally to be deployed as an assiatnce to keep track of stuff on a small shop operating a force of 8~12 devs. Me and one other person want to help shield our devs from clients as the company is starying to grow more, enough that asking the devs for hard data on how they are managing themselves (to know if there's room for another project or if overtime is needed, for example) is starting to deprive them of actual devel time. We want to avoid reaching the stage of meetings that could have been emails.

    Thanks in advance. Suggestions are welcome, we do have enough time to test a few alternatives before settling on one we just don't know what exists out there that is not "sign in on Github".

    datatracker.ietf.org RFC 9557: Date and Time on the Internet: Timestamps with Additional Information

    This document defines an extension to the timestamp format defined in RFC 3339 for representing additional information, including a time zone. It updates RFC 3339 in the specific interpretation of the local offset Z, which is no longer understood to "imply that UTC is the preferred reference point f...

    RFC 9557: Date and Time on the Internet: Timestamps with Additional Information

    RFC 3339, the "alternative" to ISO 8061, was extended to RFC 9957, which also allows adding interpretative tags.

    Sounds like unnecessary complexification to me. What is wrong if anything with "2024-04-26"?

    Nadie: La educación en Chile en una línea de tiempo alterna:

    Hablando en serio.

    Todo el mundo habla de lo mal que está la educación, que los profesores, que los estudiantes y blah blah, y no estoy en desacuerdo que hay cosas ahí que están mal. Me podría mandar un ensayo en cómo no puede ser que una manga de pendejos de 12 vengan a amenazar a un profe en la sala. O que las salas en cuestión no deberían tener más de 20 alumnos.

    Pero igual hay temas de método y de material de fondo, como este.

    ¿Por qué no es más común en Chile enseñar las cosas de una manera más atractiva? O al menos, más inmersiva que "copie el texto aprobado 131 veces". O, no sé, cuando yo estaba en la media la manera que nos enseñaban castellano era penca (ni qué decir del inglés) pero pucha que aprendimos harto el un (1) (uno) semestre que nos hicieron escribir y ejecutar una obra de teatro.

    How do you get themes? Are [desktop]-look.org sites trustworthy?

    Hey everyone I was wondering how do you spice up your cursors, icons, themes, etc., In particular for desktop environments such as XFCE, Mate. Are there any good repositories to use?

    I've taken a look at a number of apparently cloned sites like "xfce-look.org", "kde-look.org", "gnome-look.org", but while they seem to show a wide offering of themes, it seems downloading from them is blocked via uBO since it reports a "fp2" fingerprinting script without which apparently downloads are not enabled. Are those sites trustworthy? They seem to be associated to a "OpenDesktop" initiative of which the only reputation I can find is that they were added to EasyList Privacy blocklist.

    If there are other alternative hubs or repos from which to theme a distro (as agnostically as posisble) that'd be welcome info.

    Cheers. Thanks. Et cetera.

    Standards shouldn't be behind a paywall

    publicado de forma cruzada desde: https://lemmy.world/post/9470764

    > - ISO 8601 is paywalled > - RFC allows a space instead of a T (e.g. 2020-12-09 16:09:...) which is nicer to read.

    Anything of interest happen in 9-11?

    I've seen the Wikipedia article on year 9 doesn't mention anything of relevance happening during November. Closest thing seems to be September. Since people around have spent a few years making lots of ruckus about how the date with "9, 11" has some sort of importance as a date, I was wondering if I'm missing something here.

    What is the need of T in the new (2019) time format?

    Basically title. 2019 edition of the Standard denotes the "T" prefix to time as mandatory (except in "unambiguous contexts"):

    01:29:59 is now actually T01:29:59, with the former form now designated as an alternative

    But date does not have a "D" prefix, not even in "ambiguous contexts".

    1973-09-11 never needs to be something like eg.: D1973-09-11

    Anyone know the reasoning behind this change and what is the intended use? The only time-only format with separators that I can think would be undecidable in ambiguous contexts would be hh:mm which I guess could be mistaken for bible verses?

    jacobin.com The Chilean Coup Set Environmental Policy Back Decades

    Before Chile’s coup, Salvador Allende’s government was engaged in plans to reform the environmentally destructive copper industry. Augusto Pinochet’s military dictatorship put a stop to them, crushing organized labor in the process.
