One more arrived.

In my folder with "funny" emails, I now count at least *19* emails that have been sent to me regarding Cisco Anyconnect VPN related problems.

Nineteen. Because they use #curl and the license is in there somewhere with my email address.

By all means, keep them coming. I'll keep counting!

you should team up with a consulting provider offering simple explanations for humongous amounts of money to this audience. You got the leads, now it's up to you how to convert them 🤣

Zadní světlo s radarem na kole chcete. Garmin Varia RTL515 je teď v druhé nejlepší akci historie.
Jedno z nejlepších zařízení od Garminu.

Asi ne.

Spíš na jaře nechám vyměnit zadní světlo ze něco, co jede z dynama a nemusí se nabíjet.

Radar se mi líbí, ale na moje použití to je overkill.

@verosk
Já mám silničku, většinou jezdím kde jezdí i auta, tak to se radar vyplatí, ale jasný pro tebe to moc nebude.
in reply to Archos

@verosk Taky jsem jezdil, ale to je tak 25 let. Poslední roky máme všichni doma treky a spíš nás baví poznávací courání. Když teda zrovna nestavím. 🤭
in reply to Archos

No, já už českým obchodům nevěřím. Jak tento radar (za 2990) tak i boty na turistiku, kupuji ve slevách na Amazonu.
Ale i v Čechách to jde, ale musíte mít známé, třeba hodinky Garmin 265 pod 9k.
Ono na tom je vidět, jak si chudáci prodejci mastí kapsu.


In other #curl stat-counting news, Mr. @icing has now climbed to committer number eight by commit count (501 commits), in less than three years since his first. Ranked number four if we go by number of added lines (88K lines added).

Viktor @vsz is at position five by commit count (920) after a recent intense period of activity in which he has been the "committer of the month" in the project several months recently.

@ronin3510 I don't think we can extract those numbers. The bugfixes we count and track are for everyting, including docs, tests, etc.

Yeah, Ableton Move does really sound cool, but unfortunately, I don’t think I will have the time to play with this. It’s way too cool and, I know, will require a lot of fun time! youtube.com/watch?v=0Ra1nhrt6v…

I haven’t had this much fun with music in a long time. If you ever can find the time, I think you will find yourself doing things you’re never would otherwise. Certainly was the case for me.
in reply to Patrick Perdue

@BorrisInABox That’s exactly my concern. I already have to divide the time between work, composing, recording, playing guitar, etc. And I am not too successful there! :)

Disabling #Windows #AI features organization-wide using #GroupPolicy.

This will turn off #Recall (the periodic screenshot service) and #Copilot (the AI assistant service).

1. Download and install the Windows 11 24H2 administrative template files: microsoft.com/en-us/download/d…

2. Add the files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Group Policy\Windows 11 Sep 2024 Update (24H2)\PolicyDefinitions to C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions on the domain controller.

3. Start Group Policy Management on the domain controller.

4. Create a group policy object with these values:

User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows AI > Turn off Saving Snapshots for Windows = enabled

User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot > Turn off Windows Copilot = enabled

5. Link the group policy object in at an appropriate level in your domain.




I've often used the verb "stallmanising" to mean being such a cunt about your perfectly reasonable cause that you actively turn people against it.

The thing that frustrates me about this is that the #FreeSoftware community wastes so much fucking time on #Stallman. So much time and effort is wasted on the eccentricities of one man, even though anyone with a gram of sense can see that this man is unfit to lead the social movement for our digital liberation.

And we are so utterly beholden to him. So much of our language and framing is Stallmanesque, sometimes undeservedly. My biggest pet hate is the narrative that 'you, the user, will be free if you use Free Software'. No you won't, especially not if you are not technically inclined. We are freed together as a community, not as individuals. The system of collaboration and the sharing of our digital infrastructure makes this thing liberating for all of us, not my ability to patch better Esperanto support into glibc.

And it's not like this movement needs a single leader, or that there aren't already extremely talented and dedicated leader figures in our community.

And it's not like there aren't problems with our community that aren't related to Stallman. There are so many people (men…) who make this community less lovely than it is.

But instead of lifting up other voices, or addressing other toxicity, we're stuck endlessly dealing with this one eccentric man.

I was reading and thinking about a post discussing the Stallman Report¹ and a section leapt out and resonated for me:

"My biggest pet hate is the narrative that 'you, the user, will be free if you use Free Software'. No you won't, especially not if you are not technically inclined. We are freed together as a community, not as individuals."

And it crystallized a thought that has been knocking around my mind for months: …

Software being Free (or open source, or zero cost, or even "open core" (gag)) does legitimately help developers - those very few.

But there is another role: the folks who specifically assist others to navigate up knowledge and skill gradients, and who work to diminish those gradients: the distro maintainers, the package testers & integrators, the sysadmins, the community moderators.

It is fine to want freedom yourself but we *must* work for each other's freedom too.

That you admired Richard Stallman when you were a young coder just entering the world of open source development is no mark against you -- abusers are like that.

Where judgment of you comes in is now -- you're an adult, you know your asshole from your elbow, and you have been shown evidence of who the man actually is. What you say and do in response to that -- that's what defines what kind of person you are.
