Poland did the right thing.

"I don't like migrants, good thing US gave me refugee status so I can migrate to the US" - lol

Austrian military first time being leader at something whatsoever 😂 Just joking, cool choice of them, hope they stick to it 👍

And just like that, I sent out a request to my bank what's keeping them from implementing it. Thx for sharing, super good that it shows that a competitor bank already announced the support, this way we can bully those into supporting it who haven't announced it yet :)

Immich is such a cool piece of software 🤩

Hyperscalers always boast about uptime, fail over, resilience, etc etc. The thing is, the majority of customers using the hyper scalers as is actually do not get those guaranteed at all.
If really wanted to have them, you'd need to pay a hefty premium contractually as well as on how your infra is managed, effectively tripling or more your infra cost, not accounting for additional cost for good SLA response times, getting access to real knowledgeable support staff, ...

I completely switched my behaviour. Even my Halloween costume I bought from funidelia.at, a spanish company - can recommend, was nice quality and not overpriced. My supplements I buy from ESN and Rocka Nutrition (germany companies), and on the digital side I'm super happy (since already quite a while) with my mailbox.org (also german) subscription. Wouldn't give it away any more now that I have it, it's super neat and worth every penny.

And lemmy replaced reddit for me.

Going good :)

Every month about 10-20 euro, but nothing recurring. I setup a list of my open source tools and I try to one at a time donate to each one. But its a slow process and feels too less, but I don't want to do recurring ones, though I know it would be the best for the projects.

I have a tuxedo computers notebook for work and it's great. They offer Intel as well as AMD. I also know about Slimbook but never owned one.

What about hetzner storeagebox? https://www.hetzner.com/de/storage/storage-box/ with client side encryption ? It's cheap and reliable, supports all common file transfer methods - the encryption can and likely should anyway be done by your preferred backup tool?

+1 for Mailbox. Turned a fan since I started using it seriously. Actually it can do much more as it replaced the whole Google Suite for me. Especially the office capabilities are quite astounding.

Great news! It's much more beneficial for all involved parties. Also, as the article mentions, moving to FOSS doesn't mean you're on your own. Just like Microsoft "Partners" help with integration and smooth operation, there are similar agencies offering the same services for FOSS solutions.

Not only that, but feedback and bugfixes to FOSS software indirectly benefits others too instead of some Microsoft manager. So, good use of tax money benefiting citizens and everyone else!

Meh, Medium is really just a cash grabbing machine by now, used to be good, but now I'm happy I self-hosted my ghost-blog since the beginning.

Ghost also does offer Ghost Pro, which is a managed service from them. (They are headquartered in Singapore though)
However, otherwise there are a ton of third parties that offer to manage a ghost blog instance for you for little pay.

• https://ghost.org/pricing/
• https://getmidnight.com/
• https://www.magicpages.co/#pricing

Nevertheless, an article with good intentions, 90% is better than 0%.
I like it, and not everyone might like Ghost or existing alternatives, it's just the one I settled on.

Great news, and great use of tax money.

My company subscribed to Jetbrains Juno (or Juni?)
Not using it actually yet as I don't like those tools much too, but it seems to be good according to colleagues. Not sure though if it uses a M$, GPT, Claude or Gemini model via API behind the scenes. But at least Jetbrains gets a cut, which is a CZ company.

If I use tools like those, I stick to Mistral.
You can use something like aider.chat with a Mistral API key, or directly use the CLI tool provided by them https://mistral.ai/news/devstral-2-vibe-cli.

I use the CLI from Mistral directly, works very well. But mostly use it only for generating test stubs and stuff like that.

Yeah, they've been a long time, but only since Trump 2.0 made it crystal clear such that even politicians can now see it. So pls guys do something about it. You get a lot of taxpayer money, use it wisely ffs

mailbox.org is a treasure, signed up for mail but it's so much more useful than that. It's a true replacement for me of what Google and Microsoft offers additionally to mail.

It's their only service, they make money by customers paying them to host their photos. They don't subsidise by crawling through all of your photos, mails, documents and then use that information to display Search and YouTube ads getting money from advertisement seals.

If its too expensive for you then it's what it is, but it's unrealistic to expect small scale competitors to outperform big tech offerings on every front.

I like that you as user "regedit" are installing openSUSE - I like :-D

Hoffentlich werden die USA wirtschaftlich noch sehr lange an den Folgen der Zollpolitik hängen. Auf das ein Lerneffekt einsetzen möge.
