  • Regarding the title thing. Lots of news sites will have multiple titles that get swapped at random. The different wordings increase the click through rate. You might not be interested in title 1,2 or 3, but title 4 gets you to click.

    But as for change logs for the actual article, none that I know of. The best you normally see is something like “last edited 5 minutes ago”






  • If a school provides a device to a student to take home there’s two possible outcomes.

    1. They provide a managed device, and with any management tool, there’s a way to invade privacy, intended or not.

    2. They provide an unmanaged device and get sued by parents for letting their"innocent snowflake" access unwanted content.

    In both instances there’s something to legitimately complain about, but I still say the first option is the better one. The problem comes with oversight and auditing on the use of those management tools.

    Not to mention that even with the second option of unmanaged devices, invasion of privacy can still occur if students are stupid enough to use the school provided accounts (Google, 365,etc)

    If you have docker containers and other stuff all on that USB drive I’d really reccomend getting it all off that USB (not just logging) and onto a proper drive of some kind. USB thumb sticks are not reliable long term storage, you will wake up to find the drive failing one day and good chance you lose everything on it with little to no warning.






  • Games need to live closer to the bleeding edge than a lot of other software.

    Also, for wine/proton, and the other customisations built into the deck, it makes sense to pick a starting point that is more built for customisation. By that I mean there was probably less things they needed to add or remove at the start.

    As mentioned, it’s also likely there was personal bias internally. But even that can be a valid reason as they need to be familiar/comfortable with the starting distro.

    Not saying that Debian cannot do it, but doing it this way probably made valve’s employees lives easier.







  • Mine is nice and quick in regards to the web interface and general functions. However I run it on a server at home and my upload speed isn’t the best, so if I need to pull a larger file (Files On Demand enabled) then obviously the transfer speed of the file is a bit sluggish.

    Hosted on a VM with 16GB RAM, 4 cores. Using the NextcloudAIO docker deployment option, all behind an Apache reverse proxy (I have a bunch of other services on another VM that all have reverse proxy access in place as well).


  • I think a better way to go about it is what Australia used to do. There was a government run service for most things, phones: Telstra, banking: Commonwealth bank, etc. Unfortunately they get sold off for peanuts/privatised, and what do you know, service suffered, but profits for the board and investors jumped.

    This leaves the ability for private companies to operate in the space if they can compete on price or on service/features.

    Private companies hate that though, it means they can’t boil the frog/capture the industry as easily.
