First proper concert in SA coming up 🙂

@Anarcat
I gave up hope on that a long time ago...

@Jeremy
It absolutely made my day too! It's the reason I'm even naming her personally 😉

@mjg59
Never mind, found it: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/70238813/pocock-v-software-in-the-public-interest-inc/

And yes I am mentioned.

@mjg59
Do you have a link to all the documents in the case? I tried searching on their search form but can't find it.

I believe I'm named in the case too (using incorrect address information), and would like to confirm.

@juliank
For humidity, a dedicated dehumidifier is more efficient.

I have a portable aircon, but its water reservoir is fairly small yet takes days to fill up.

In the same room, the dedicated dehumidifier fills up its much larger reservoir in a single day, and it uses about 200W at most to do so.

@Jeremy
Didn't vote because not Canadian, but:

I have sent emails to European MEPs in the past. My experience is that you will get a response from maybe 3 out of the 21 MEPs that Belgium had (at the time).

I especially liked the one time where Kathleen van Brempt went like, since your email wasn't the canned one from the campaign, here's my personal reply on top of my canned response.

I mean, vs code is a Microsoft product. They don't care about security any more than they absolutely have to...

@bytebro
It is, and I usually can't reach it, it's just today that I can because I'm sick 🤷
@mirabilos

@mirabilos
So today I'm sick and I now manage to croak out a Bb1 (assuming my piano is tuned correctly, which given we moved recently is not guaranteed).

It sounds pretty awesome, even though I need to occasionally search for the right note when it gets rather low

Toch wel, maar levering gebeurt hier niet via de post. Ofwel via een koeriersdienst (DHL express oid), ofwel via takealot.com, vergelijkbaar met bol.com, die hun eigen leverdienst hebben.

Is vooral lastig als je iets vanuit het buitenland bestelt en expliciet vraagt om het via een koeriersdienst te doen en ze doen dat dan niet want 'het is te duur', wat wel een paar keer gebeurd is, maar voor de rest...

Well they had to have passport control because Brexit, so it wasn't a very big leap anymore.

But really, taking an explosive device large enough to rip a small hole in the fuselage is enough to kill everyone on an aeroplane, but will only kill yourself on a train. To have something that will create an explosion large enough to kill everyone on the train, all you need is a geiger counter...

@ringods
Dat was snel! Mijn post heeft een gemiddelde (!) vertraging van ongeveer 3 maanden.

Dat is dan ook niet in België... https://www.postoffice.co.za/ 😉

@hrw
That's not encouraging.

What hardware are you using?

@tyil
That being said, data center Internet connections are engineered to higher standards and with better redundancy than residential ones. There are plenty of cases where that doesn't matter, but there are also plenty where it does.
@cwebber @farfalk

@tyil
That depends on where you are.

I read a blog post of someone once who got a 25Gbit line for his home Internet connection in Switzerland. I was like, why on earth would you do that... until I discovered that the price of that connection was about the same as the 100Mbit line I had at my place in South Africa at the time, with a 1Gbit line being more than double that price.

I wouldn't Colo in Switzerland. I might in SA.

@rayckeith
I love the concept and would like to get myself one.

However, their chosen license, CC by-nc-sa, is not open source, as the non commercial parts of that license fails the OSD's 'no discrimination against fields of endeavour' requirement.

@glitzersachen
Oh you can totally do that if you want to and your home Internet connection can carry the load. I've done this myself and there's nothing wrong with it.

But there are cases where that isn't enough, or where a home Internet connection of sufficient speed is prohibitively expensive.
@cwebber @farfalk

@tyil
High speed Internet is more achievable at affordable rates in a data center.

That's the only thing.
