131·2 months agoJust curious: If you’re willing to use Discord, why not Google?
Imo not really noob-user friendly.
In what way? It would make it entirely invisible that the archive file isn’t just a normal folder, it would be possible to use it just as if it were. What would be unfriendly about that?
The operating system could mount it as a virtual drive, then all its contents could be used directly just like any regular folder.
It’s now been 18 years since the last time an employer paid me to write assembly, but it’s only been a year or so since the last time I had to read assembly at work (in order to verify what the compiler really was doing).
Incompetence didn’t go anywhere.
Now that’s certainly true, but the beauty of open source software is that we can fix bugs when we encounter them.
We have Unicode these days: blåhaj
You might find this project interesting:
As already mentioned several times, selfhosting a mail server is not recommended unless you’re particularly interested in hosting a mail server, but with that said, you might find this project interesting:
3·6 months agoI would really want to have a really good open source SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) app, with good secure key management and excellent transfer performance. So far, I haven’t found any such app.
Yes, it is.
I’ve been running my own mail server for decades now (a quite odd hobby, I know) and that’s not to be recommended for anyone who doesn’t have a particular interest in e-mail. SMTP is from the early 1980s with roots in the 1970s and has had layer upon layer bolted on since then. It’s a fantastic mess.
While I don’t know what exactly you mean by sysadmin, it sounds to me as if you’d be better at setting up (and maintaining) CI/CD than most normal developers and that’s something that’d be very valuable to lots of projects out there.
Your question would be much easier to answer if you explained what it is that this ShareX thing does that you want to do.
As it apparently doesn’t exist for Linux, or else you wouldn’t have asked, it seems safe to assume that most Linux users aren’t familiar with it.
ICU & CLDR is an excellent place to start for anyone who wants to help out with support for any not yet well supported script and/or language, for those libraries and that data are what a lot of other things are built upon (like Android, iOS, Windows and macOS, to take four of the largest and most well known examples).
To get in touch and offer to volunteer, sending a mail to the icu-support public mailing list can be a good starting point: https://icu.unicode.org/contacts
One possible starting point could be the now classic essay The Cathedral and the Bazaar:
13·11 months agoIt’s perfectly fine to continue to write Android apps in Java, doing that will continue to be supported for all foreseeable future and I do it myself for a hobby app that I maintain.
That said, there are good reasons for the increasing popularity of Kotlin, it’s certainly a good language that has noticeable advantages over Java.
Hands down the clang C++ compiler, no commercial C++ compiler I’ve ever seen or even heard of even comes close enough that a comparison could be meaningful.
automatic backup doesn’t encrypt?
It does for me. Are you sure that your backup really isn’t encrypted? Look in the JSON backup file, all your vault data should be encrypted and stored in one single long base64 encoded string with key name “db”. Is that not so for you?
Doesn’t need any comment:
int getCount() { return count; }
Absolutely needs a very extensive comment:
double getBojangleFlux { return fubar * .42; }
