Oh, nice, Windows 11 will fix Teams!

The one problem with that is that I need to know I’m not being told about a meeting to take a print.

Well, my local mail service often has less lag than Teams…

It temporarily deletes my meetings just before they happen, so that I don’t have to attend them!

Of course, when I open it later, the meetings are restored, with the original date, and no trace of the deletion. So not attending them is quite hard to explain to others. But it does save me from attending!

As long as it’s not a water poodle…

So, you need a unix time value followed by 000?

That first part you can calculate with date +%s -d '2024-07-02 12:00'.

That’s just sloppiness.

The information that familiarity gives you is “WTF does this field means”, and it’s the only thing that’s actually there. How you get a value and how a value is formatted are things no amount of expertise will save you from having to tell the computer, and thus you can’t just forget about.

(And let me guess, the software recommended install is a docker image?)

Did you hear about it when that same software had that same problem on its Linux endpoint system a couple of months ago?

Well, me neither. I can’t tell how much of if is “anybody willing to use something like that will also want a Windows server” (crazy people), or “nobody that wants Linux would accept it”. Those two are not exactly the same, and I don’t know how well the auditors that keep pushing this kind of shit into companies interact with the culture.

You mean like NixOS?

It wouldn’t technically stop anything, it would just make your live Hell on Earth if you tried to add that self-updating ring-0 proprietary software in your servers.

But I guess what you are looking for is immutable infrastructure? That one would stop the problem.

It’s only marginal for running custom code. Every large organization has at least a few of them running important out-of-the-box services.

It is on the sense that Windows admins are the ones that like to buy this kind of shit and use it. It’s not on the sense that Windows was broken somehow.

Well, “don’t have self-upgrading shit on your production environment” also applies.

As in “if you brought something like this, there’s a problem with you”.

How does mining for Uranium compare to mining of materials needed for solar and for battery cells, targeting the same energy output?

Depending on what kind of battery you want. For top of the line stuff, uranium is way worse.

But still, neither one is damaging enough to deserve focusing on solving it. Most of the mining is for other things.

Going by history, in 20 to 60 years.

Thankfully, the nuclear pushers have mostly shut-up nowadays. Because the thing can’t compete with renewables and probably can’t be built before we almost run out of fossil fuels. It’s a very expensive distraction.

(Oh also, it can’t feed a grid without batteries or some dispatchable backup.)

But well, if somebody wants to invest their money in it, I’d say go for it!

There’s an ecosystem of entire instances with crazy rules.

The fact that Lemmy just doesn’t become unusable with all this brokerage tells a lot about the benefits of a distributed system.

That’s quite a bad way to express yourself.

But then, the Lemmy front-page sending unsuspecting new people into a place where they will censored if they try to speak against of dictators and human rights violations isn’t a good thing. So yeah, Lemmy is better with the ML not listed.

Oh, they absolutely should. A “Jarvis” would be great.

But that thing they are pushing has absolutely no relation to a “Jarvis”.

Hum, no. The last thing I need on the world is a piece of non-working hard to maintain software.

I’d write something before trying Nextcloud again.

Personally, I’d really like if it could have different users on its management interface, with their own file shares.

It’s understandable why they don’t bother, but I would like to share my NAS without running several instances.

What I understand the idea is to ask you to enter WhoLooksHere@lemmy.world in the username, and your lemmy.world password.

What I understand is happening (from the comment, because I don’t use apps) is that the app first expects you to choose lemmy.world in a list, and then asks you about your name and password.

Honestly, I have no idea what is easier for anybody. Both seem very equivalent to me. Also equivalent would be asking the server, username and password on the same screen.
