Guess what, #Nextcloud? #OneDrive has a "Copy Link" in the file context menu. And guess what? They also open a dialog, like with whom to share, for editing or for viewing, but this dialog is fully accessible. Webbish, yes (I would prefer a native Windows API one), but fully accessible.
And guess what even more? #GoogleDrive also has "Copy Link" in their context menu. Aren't they secure enough? I don't know. But they are *convenient*. And *accessible*.
UPD. this post was inspired by my struggles with sharing Nextcloud links and by this ongoing discussion. TL;DR: The option was there, it worked like a charm, but then it was removed because of "security".

#Accessibility

The public share link has been removed with the 3.15 client version.

Hi, The public share link has been removed with the 3.15 client version. Could it be possible to bring back this feature ? Below, a screen from a right click on a folder/file with the 3.14.3 client...

The Vancouver Christmas tree right after its lighting ceremony, at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver, BC. — December 2010

This is deliberately out of focus.

Olympus E-P1, m-Zuiko 17mm f2.8

(20101202_PC031144)

A night scene with the shape of a Christmas tree. Everything is out of focus but the Christmas tree is lit and all the light appear as fuzzy circles of colour. On the top a fuzzy star in white. Behind tall building lit up are also completely out off focus, everything creating an "impressionist" effect.

I don't really care much about cerifications of any sort so I can't be sure I'm describing the right one, but I remember when working at a small ISP/datacenter we wanted to get SOC II (??) compliance to please some customer and the process was like this:

Me: what are the requirements?

🤖 We have to document all our processes and procedures

Me: and then what?

🤖: an auditor will verify (by quizzing you in front of a computer screen they don't understand) to prove you're following the documented processes and procedures

Me: okay, but like what do we have to do? How long do we have to retain customer backups, for example?

🤖: there is no requirement. How long are you retaining customer backups?

Me: well we had that failure so right now we only have 6 months

🤖: so document 6 months

Me: can we just say one month? And then we exceed our documented retention by a good margin?

🤖: yes

Me: this is a scam isn't it?

„Pan ministr se trochu porouchal.“ SPD šokoval její šéf obrany Zůna, hnutí přitom Rusko za agresora označilo také

Analýza: Páteční tisková konference ministra obrany Jaromíra Zůny (za SPD), respektive její ohlas se hnutí vymkl z rukou.

Same to you as well, may your #Yule be blessed, peaceful and joyous. It's gonna be a busy one here, with a morning service (the one I play on #SleighRide for) and an evening service for which I'm playing #HandChimes. First year I'm actually making it to the intergenerational pageant service in quite some time. I think I've maybe made it once or twice over the 11 years I've been here.

Self hosting a Postgres or MySQL/MariaDB database is often treated like a horror story told around a campfire, a narrative carefully created by big cloud providers over the last decade. But is it actually "terrifying," or just a lost art of Sysadmining? This post talks the reality of self hosting versus managed cloud versions like AWS RDS, cutting through the marketing to look at the actual trade offs for both IT pros and developers.

Go ahead, self-host Postgres | Pierce Freeman

Self-hosting Postgres is simpler and cheaper than managed services suggest, with comparable reliability and better performance tunability.

Hey, budds. Just a reminder that it's that time of year when we all try to be just a little happier and leave the negative bullshit behind for a while?

like... I've seen so so much whining just on my home tl the last few days and to be perfectly blunt, some of yall really need a reason to smile.

Please stop fighting each other. please stop being so radically opinionated that you can't have a conversation with any level of nuance. Please just walk away if people aren't serving you anymore. Please stop.

@Bri @MariahL Mine was busted the second I'd asked to be removed from a very toxic conversation and my wish was not respected. That's when I lost all of my cool and became an ass with the whole cookie thing. For the part I played in that, for any anger or whatever I've posted over the last few weeks I'm sorry. Christmas this year holds no weight for me at all and I've found it honestly beyond hard to find any happiness or joy apart from a few good things. This is the second Christmas I am spending physically alone on this college campus and I'm just not taking it well.

Ich konnte in einem Gespräch mit einer Bekannten gestern mal wieder die Empfehlung für den Schattenspringer von @Fuchskind anbringen. Die Empfehlung wurde mit Freuden aufgenommen und wird vermutlich in dieser Familie zeitnah verbreitet werden. Ich hoffe, ein zurzeit siebenjähriges autistisches Kind wird es mit einigen anderen aus der Familie dadurch in Zukunft leichter haben.

Je to celkem marginální rozdíl. Vzal jsem kalkulačku re.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pvg_tools/, zabodl ji někde doprostřed Maďarska a spočítalo mi to roční výrobu 1 kWp na 1260 kWh. Když jsem to samé udělal u Česka, vyšlo mi 1130 kWh. Mají tam tedy podstatně větší instalovanou kapacitu.

@TomGrant91 ha. thing is, I actually like BestSpeech somewhat more, maybe not as much as Eloquence but it's up there. This one? No way. It has trash pronouncing on a lot of words. It would require a huge dictionary to fix it up all, so to me it's more of a toy synth than a real one sadly. I guess that does make me a bit less dedicated to it overall.

It's definitely been an interesting time here at LGA.
TSA was being extra slow and TSA-ish today. I had a Ubiquiti U6 Mesh access point in my suitcase, which looks suspiciously like an aerosol can, so they had pointed questions about that.

Then, the gate for my flight changed five times. First, it was gate 30, then 31, back to 30, then 18, then 29.

So I'm sitting here at gate 29 hoping for the best.
I should be boarding in a few minutes, so there is still time for a couple more gate changes just for fun.

I was flying out of panama City Beach Florida and didn't have my "real" ID. Instead of doing the usual hey we're going to have to do a swab of your hands, they took the extra step. I didn't even go through the damn metal detector, no no. They did a full pat down which was a bit much for multiple reasons, even my meet and assist said so. Plus I had recently been in the hospital and had dealt with sooooo many people touching me at once I was still a bit edgy when it came to being touched by unknown folks. I already have issues with that anyway, the hospital visit had just made it worse. That TSA experience did not help.
