I really admire her after seeing this. She is so dialled in to what’s going on in her working area, and she doesn’t get flustered when probed with follow-up questions. Regardless of party, we could do with more people like her running and being elected as MPs - but I imagine she wouldn’t even consider it.
You know, I wish I could enjoy IRC - or chatrooms in general. But I just struggle with them. Forums and their ilk, I get. I check in on them and see what’s been posted since I last visited, and reply to anything that motivates me to do so. Perhaps I’ll even throw a post up myself once in a while.
But with IRC, Matrix, Discord, etc, I just feel like I only ever enter in the middle of an existing conversation. It’s fine on very small rooms where it’s almost analagous to a forum because there’s little enough conversation going on that it remains mostly asynchronous. But larger chatrooms are just a wall of flowing conversation that I struggle to keep up with, or find an entry point.
Anyway - to answer the actual question, I use something called “The Lounge” which I host on my VPS. I like it because it remains online even when I am not, so I can atleast view some of the history of any conversation I do stumble across when I go on IRC. I typically just use the web client that comes with it.
Thanks. I didn’t know about these advanced libraries, and had not heard of C++ modules either. Appreciate the explanation.
I don’t code in C++ (although I’m somewhat familiar with the syntax). My understanding is the header files should only contain prototypes / signatures, not actual implementations. But that doesn’t seem to be the case here. Have I misunderstood, or is that part of the joke?
Yes, I can see cases where this might be valid. For example, if you wanted to be some kind of SAP administrator / programmer (a paid-only enterprise management software), nobody would hire you for such a role without having some experience with that product. Same for something like Salesforce.
I like Konsole.
It comes with KDE, supports tabs, themes, and loads very fast.
I don’t really need more from a terminal than that. When I, rarely, need more advanced features like window splitting and session management I also use Zellij (previously I used tmux).
Interesting. That’s not something I’ve heard about until now, but something I’ll surely look into.
Mistral-large is probably the best large model for practical purposes at this point.
What makes you say that? I have not performed my own comparison, but everything I have seen and read suggests that GPT4 is king, currently.
Yes, I don’t know how I forgot to mention that Iceshrimp and Sharkey both have Mastodon compatible APIs - so all the same apps work (mostly).
Based on your requirements, I would suggest looking at one of the Firefish / CalcKey forks. They are ideal for single user or small instances and they support s3 compatible object storage out of the box.
I would recommend looking at Sharkey or Iceshrimp. Both are under very active development and have very responsive developers if you need support.
If you would like to check out an example, Ruud (of mastodon.world and lemmy.world) set up an instance of Sharkey at (you guessed it) sharkey.world.
Another vote here for Fastmail. I also like Posteo, Mailbox and mxroute, but these are not as fully featured - which may be perfect for you if you’re after email only. What I really like about Fastmail is that on top of being a customer-focused business (rather than a customer is the product business), they offer a really snappy web interface with excellent search - and they are extremely compliant with email standards, building everything on JMAP.
I do not like Proton or Tutanota. I have used both, including using Proton as my main email account for the past two years. I do believe they are probably the best when it comes to encryption and privacy standards, but for me it’s at far too much cost. Encrypted email is almost pointless - the moment you email someone who isn’t using a Proton (or PGP encryption), then the encryption is lost. Or even if they just forward an email to someone outside your chain. I would argue that if you need to send a message to someone with enough sensitivity to require this level of encryption, email is the wrong choice of protocol.
For all that Proton offer, it results in broken email standard compliance, awful search capability and reliance on bridge software or being limited to their WebUI and apps. And it’s a shame, because I really like the company and their mission.
Goodness, what a choice to make. They are both excellent, and you should of course read both. Personally, I would start with Hyperion.
A seemingly unpopular opinion, but Christian Bale’s Batman is my favourite live action version of the character.
Celebrities, politicians and businesses will be more likely to show up on the platform, if that’s your jam.
When corporations inevitably arrive to the platform, we can use it to shame them into offering a decent service after they ignore our calls and emails.
The same reason a lot of companies support a community edition. It means that people can use, learn and become experienced with the product without forking over a tonne of money.
This results in a larger number of developers, add-ons and community surrounding the product.
This makes it a more appealing product for companies looking to build a business using it.
It’s the same reason you can use AWS for free, get some JetBrains products for free and often find community editions for similar products to Magento.
As in, I have Nginx running on my server and use it as a reverse proxy to access a variety of apps and services. But can’t get it playing nicely with AIO Nextcloud.
Yes I’ve not managed to solve this yet. For me, it’s hosting AIO behind my existing Nginx.
She was 89 and no doubt lead a truly fulfilling life, and so I think objectively it’s not a sad passing - she had a truly remarkable life and long life.
That said, she was a significant part of my childhood, and always on the television in the various households I’ve lived in for one show or another. It feels like losing a beloved grandmother, and I’m devastated. RIP Maggie.
