A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Thanks. I didn't know the compliance solution from Microsoft was attached to office.

That and policy enforcement are, I think, the biggest obstacles for Linux adoption commercially.

Compliance being what is and isn't allowed to run on a computer?

I've tried to follow a tutorial for Inkscape, but I just couldn't adapt to the workflow.

There was Gimpshop, but the project got abandoned years ago. These days I use darktable for photo adjustments and don't do much creative editing. I've heard good things about Krita.

I don't think Gimp is the upgrade you think it is. And I say this having used basically nothing else, but the interface is arcane. Unless you use it every day, you sort of have to have a browser open all the time to search for how to do things.

But I agree that the best path to migration is to do apps first, one at a time, then do a system migration. Minimizes friction and pain.

Good article except that they called this:

The clip, which was presented as a dream sequence and clearly labelled as AI-manipulated content, prompted debate about the acceptable boundaries of the technology.

A grey area. Come on, that's very clearly satire.

Pretty sure that's illegal in the EU.

Safari's WebKit isn't Apple's though. It was built around KHTML, from KDE.

I don't agree but I don't disagree sanguinely. Solid normie ranking.

[JS Required] The Restroom Archive

Repo.

The Restroom Archive is an ongoing case study that aims to document and celebrate the public restroom. What started as a joke in 2023 has become a years-long practice of 3D scanning the restrooms in restaurants, gas stations, convenience stores, coffee shops, and various other spaces across the U.S. and Europe.

The scans are meant to capture the humorous, chaotic, and often scary nature of these uniquely private publicly accessible spaces.

Through capturing the diverse decor, graffiti, and artifacts, both stored and left behind, I consider public restrooms to be a reflection of both the creativity and impertinence of human nature when we think nobody else is watching.

Scans were made with LiDAR using Polycam for iPhone. This site was built using Vue.js and Three.js and is currently hosted on GitHub pages.

The real reason automakers are ditching Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (www.motortrend.com)
 

TLDR: Automakers want a piece of the data harvesting pie. But don't worry they assure us it's just to improve their products. You know, like the infotainment they're building, that they wouldn't need to build if they kept phone integration.

Sluggishness again (programming.dev)
 

Programming.dev seems to be experiencing slowness intermittently again. It is most pronounced on Tesseract, but also on the default UI. Using a mobile client such as Voyager seems more responsive, so maybe the API isn't suffering from it.

Review Checker will shut down tomorrow (blog.mozilla.org)
 

The Fakespot feature within Firefox known as Review Checker will shut down on June 10, 2025.

There goes the only feature that managed to move my wife towards a gecko based browser. l guess it's Brave for her now.

Mozilla acquired it two years ago. Bastards.

Oregon State University's Open Source Lab may shut down without $250K in funding. Projects like Gentoo, Debian, Fedora, and many more rely on it.

Battle of the noobs: CasaOS X Yunohost X TrueNAS Scale (programming.dev)
 

All of the above have web GUIs to install, configure, and maintain services and are commonly suggested for someone that is new to self hosting. What are their key differences? Their advantages and disadvantages for common use cases?

https://git.programming.dev is chock full of spam (programming.dev)
 

It's pages and pages of this. Maybe you want to restrict who can log in and create repositories.

What is NoSQL good for? (programming.dev)
 

I’m versed enough in SQL and RDBMS that I can put things in the third normal form with relative ease. But the meta seems to be NoSQL. Backends often don’t even provide a SQL interface.

So, as far as I know, NoSQL is essentially a collection of files, usually JSON, paired with some querying capacity.

  1. What problem is it trying to solve?
  2. What advantages over traditional RDBMS?
  3. Where are its weaknesses?
  4. Can I make queries with complex WHERE clauses?
