Thanks for the hint! I didn’t know this setting existed and of course it was enabled by default… What happened to informed consent?

You still have 63% RAM available in that screenshot, there are zero problems with Java using 13% RAM. It’s the same as the tired old trope of “ChRoMe Is EaTiNg My MeMoRy”. Unused memory is wasted memory if it can be used for caching instead, so unless you’re running out of available memory, there is no problem.

Also, the JVM has a lot of options for configuring its various caches as well as when it allocates or releases memory. Maybe take a look at that first.

Edit: Apparently people don’t want to hear this but don’t have any actual arguments to reply with. Sorry to ruin your “JaVa BaD” party.

I have no experience with inviting others to calendar events since I only use this setup for my personal calendar - sorry

Idk about E2EE, but I’m using self-hosted Nextcloud. Using CalDAV, you can integrate virtually any app. On Android I’m using DAVx5 and Fossify Calendar.

The advantage of Nextcloud is that it provides a lot of things in one package such as contacts, tasks, notes, files, etc. If you don’t need those, it might be better to look at some of the other suggestions that only provide calendars.

I use Backblaze B2 for one offsite backup in “the cloud” and have two local HDDs. Using restic with rclone as storage interface, the whole thing is pretty easy.

A cronjob makes daily backups to B2, and once per month I copy the most current snapshot from B2 to my two local HDDs.

I have one planned improvement: Since my server needs programmatic access to B2, malware on it could wipe both the server and B2, leaving me with the potentially one-month old local backups. Therefore I want to run a Raspberry Pi at my parents’ place that mirrors the B2 repository daily but is basically air-gapped from the server. Should the B2 repository be wiped, the Raspberry Pi would still retain its snapshots.

See, they want you to believe that SQL stands for Structured Query Language. But I know from our lord and savior Elon that it actually means Socialist Queer Liberals!

…what?

Also, you should probably mark this as NSFW with a title like that.

How to write a package in R

Step 1: Use C++

I’m skeptical given how confident many recent AI models are at making wrong claims. Fact checking seems to be a rather poor use case for current AI models IMO.

FTFY

There are quite a few mature projects in 0.x that would cause a LOT of pain if they actually applied semver

Depending on how one defines the “initial development” phase, those projects are actually conforming to semver spec:

Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.

After looking at the site and trying to determine what to download to get Debian with non-free (I’m unfortunately working with an NVIDIA card)

FWIW, Debian 12 now includes non-free firmware in the installation media by default and will install whatever is necessary.

I agree that the Debian website has its weaknesses, but beyond finding the right installer (usually netinst ISO a.k.a small installation image on https://www.debian.org/distrib/) there isn’t much of a learning curve. I started out with Ubuntu too, but finally decided that enough was enough when snap started breaking my stuff on desktop.

From personal experience, headphone jacks have been more susceptible to wearing out than USB-C.

• The connection became so loose that the plug would slip out on its own.
• The jack would (I assume) partially lose contact, resulting in missing frequencies in the audio and crackling if I rotate the plug.

Both of these can be partially remedied by cleaning the port, but after six years with my old phone even that didn’t work anymore. The USB-C port still did, however.

I guess the snarky headline might’ve been a bit too much for some people

Thanks, didn’t know about those deals!

+1 for own domain and some email hosting service. That also makes it pretty easy to switch providers because you can simply point your MX records etc. somewhere else - no need to change the actual email address.

I can also recommend mailbox.org as an alternative to mxroute, they’re even a little cheaper at $3/month (mxroute is $49/year at minimum).

Lawmaking is a slow and tedious process full of compromises, and the EU is apparently the only governmental body that cares enough to actually do something against the wild west of digital tracking. I for one am happy about that, and contrary to public opinion the GDPR is actually being enforced (albeit not strictly enough).

And why did “the politicians” refuse not to listen to “the scientists”? Part of the answer is definitely due to unrealistic n-year plans.

Also, there were other factors at play such as secrecy around the danger of graphite-tipped control rods. The Soviets had discovered this danger already, but had kept it secret even from their nuclear engineers.
