Probably any of the ThinkPads I had. They were sturdy and just ran everything I put on them. Second place would be the Dell XPS 13, I like it because it is very small and light, but in the one I have now they already had to replace the motherboard after a month and when holding it with one hand it bends and sometimes does a click on the trackpad, but I don't want to send it in a second time because I normally don't use it like that.

It's like 8 years ago or so, I had the InfinityBook with a skylake processor.

Bluetooth stopped working, send it in then it worked and stopped again, then send it in and it worked and stopped again.

The microphone had broken noises, tested it even under windows to be sure it's a hardware problem.

Discoloration where the hands are left and right of the trackpad.

Plastic bezel around the screen fell off, the tape was bad quality.

Ah I wrote it down last year here:

I really wonder if they got any better, I had such a bad time with my tuxodo computer, had to send it for repair twice and replaced it with a used ThinkPad after less than a year.

You're right, it's a stick which is almost like a pipe because it was hallow inside. You can't see it very well in the picture.

You can't see it very well in the picture but this stick has a hole in it at the top.

My son found it on the playground and was carrying it the whole time. His mom didn't understand why he is so obsessed with this stick. Actually he had two in the beginning but threw away the other one but kept this one.

I tried to explain to his mom why this stick is cool but she kept saying she doesn't get it.

What are you talking about? You are digging yourself in a trench against me for some reason and you dig deeper every time. I have no idea what your agenda is, but I am stopping participation in it.

I don't know about you but I have always been a free software advocate, see

But anyway, I'm not interested in whatever this discussion derailed into.

Very disingenuous of you to fight a strawman and proclaim victory by claiming that I said things which I never did. But if that's what floats your boat. But for everyone else, try to find any mention of anti-libre software in the original claim.

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 2 points 5 months ago

My whole point is that you can not point to a 3rd party checking for you and claim that it secure because someone else already checked. And I brought two examples which contradict this claim.

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 3 points 5 months ago

I agree with that.

I don't agree with how it has been presented by the grandparent here as if open source somehow automatically makes it secure.

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 9 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Yes, that is true, but let's not pretend that just because some one is theoretically able to, that all source code is constantly monitored by 3rd parties.

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Yes, but we don't know what we don't know. There are many problems like that in open source too, and even if we can look nobody does.

Therefore I find it problematic to say that just because you use open source programs you're safe like the parent tried to.

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 32 points 5 months ago (27 children)

This only would work if you check every line of source code, even the dependencies and build chain, and then build it yourself. See xz utils backdoor or heartbleed, etc.

If you cannot pass on your ownership rights to your purchased games to your children, then you cannot pass on your copyright either, I guess?

 

My take on this is no they don't. As long as they are truthful they only report on the quality of the product and prevent many people of spending a lot of money from losing it by buying something that doesn't work.

If your product is shit your company does not deserve to be shielded from the backlash, this is the core of (classic) capitalism after all.

We had a good run of two weeks of cherry blossoms everywhere, but now there are only a few trees left.

 

I have many services running on my server and about half of them use postgres. As long as I installed them manually I would always create a new database and reuse the same postgres instance for each service, which seems to me quite logical. The least amount of overhead, fast boot, etc.

But since I started to use docker, most of the docker-compose files come with their own instance of postgres. Until now I just let them do it and were running a couple of instances of postgres. But it's kind of getting rediciolous how many postgres instances I run on one server.

Do you guys run several dockerized instances of postgres or do you rewrite the docker compose files to give access to your one central postgres instance? And are there usually any problems with that like version incompatibilities, etc.?

 

tl;dr: No

Even simple problems are too complicated for it.

 

I switched from the YouTube app to LibreTube on my android phone, but it's buffering most of the videos so much that I can't use it. The same videos work just fine on the YouTube app. Any suggestions what I could do to improve it?

I'm kind of tired of Nextcloud because it's using so many resources on my server and I'm only using it for calendar and address book for two users. So I'm looking for alternatives, what do you use (only self hosted) and how do you like it?
