Seemingly one of the contributors has visited a disputed region and logged into GitHub from there. By law (export controls) Microsoft must not provide service to that place. So some automatism flagged the account and also the organic maps repo. So far so normal. But either Microsoft dragged it’s feet in communicating and resolving the issue or the organic maps team was not doing their part in the process. Doesn’t matter, the outcome is still worth it.

Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.deto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I can not over express how happy I am with having setup my NAS from scratch.English262·2 months agoThat’s what containers are for. Fucking up the container won’t fuck up the host. That was the best decision in self hosting I’ve done. Even that one virtual machine feels weird and uncomfortably legacy now but it needs to interact with hardware in a certain way that just won’t fully work with docker.
Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux.4·5 months agoMy (self-hosted) cloud storage is larger than the disk drive on my laptop. On demand sync is important to me. I really, really hope Linux will catch up to Windows in that regard.
Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux.2·5 months agoCurrently we have an experimental VFS feature on all platforms that is using some suffix appended to files when they are virtual empty placeholders. https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/3668
Yeah, no thanks. It’s a very hacky work-around and breaks the moment you use an application that tries to access the files directly.
Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux.161·5 months agoOS-level support for cloud storage. OneDrive, Dropbox and all the others work seamlessly on Windows through the Windows API. You can browse all the files on the file system and once you access them, the OS will call back the cloud provider to download them. It works through all applications, all cloud providers. I am aware that some tools on Linux have something similar to work around the issue in user land. Some solutions are less worse than others but none of them are as good as on Windows.

Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•SpaceX launches starship Mega-Rocket and catches its booster in midair on first try.English31·6 months agoI didn’t say “a little” money. It may be important or critical for the business but from a technical perspective, demonstrating how it can safely bring loads up and down decides whether the whole concept is actually feasible. That’s when people will start to get excited.
Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•SpaceX launches starship Mega-Rocket and catches its booster in midair on first try.English35·6 months agoAs far as I understood it, SpaceX uses the word “orbit” liberally. If it reaches the hight where an orbit would be possible, that’s “being in orbit” for them. In an actual orbit, the rocket would not fall back down again in an hour or so without active breaking. If my understanding is incorrect, I’m happy to be corrected. And even of that was achieved soon, it’s still all without demonstrating that the starship could actually carry a load and return it safely. Not even an inexpensive dummy load. All SpaceX is showing in their live feeds are empty cargo holds that fill up with hot gases and fumes during reentry.
Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•SpaceX launches starship Mega-Rocket and catches its booster in midair on first try.English93·6 months agoI think the average person gets it right. It’s a nice feat to catch the booster and it will save money. But that’s a side quest. The main quest of getting an actual load to orbit and beyond is still pretty far away. At least compared with the official time line where they wanted to achieve much more than that three years ago.

Don’t shoot the messenger. The regulations are pretty draconic. I have to ensure the training for that every year.
