It would make more sense for microsoft to partner with some hardware vendor and release a modified version of windows 11. With a nice mobile-optimized GUI, integration for the most popular game stores and an optional desktop mode.
If it's a civil and interesting discussion, why not?
You‘re supposed to host this yourself.
I like it :) Can you provide a link to the sensors you used?
Looks like a small release, but has some IMO pretty interesting changes, like
Allow users to view their own removed/deleted communities
and
Add backend check to enforce hierarchy of admins and mods
Your challenge is that you need a loadbalancer. By hosting the loadbalancer yourself (e.g. on a VPS), you could also host your websites directly there...
My approach would be DNS-based. You can have multiple DNS A records, and the client picks one of them. With a little script you could remove one of the A Records of that server goes down. This way, you wouldn't need a central hardware.
I'd host it on both webservers. The script sets the A record to all the servers that are online. Obviously, the script als has to check it's own service.
It seems a little hacky though, for a business use case I would use another approach.
Set the DNS cache time to 60 seconds.
Set the script to run on every host delayed by some time to avoid simultaneously accessing the API (e.g. run the script every other minute).
With this approach, you get automatic failover in at most 3 minutes.
The site provides a nice TL,DR:
- Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
- The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
- Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.
Whenever YouTube changes something, newpipe adapts to it within one or two days. Thanks to the devs!
When I started using linux 15 years ago, my friend recommended to keep a windows partition for gaming. At least for me, I have deleted windows a few years ago and I'm not looking back.
On a personal note, I'm annoyed that our national ID app doesn't work with graphene OS.
There are workarounds by patching out the security check from the app and sideloading the newly created app, but that is just annoying and has to be repeated for every update.
I just don't see how rigorose device checks that lock out graphene users, but allow any Android 8.0+ device (where security support ended more than 3 years ago) make ANY sense.
Edit: I tried it again today, it now lets me skip with a warning about the bootloader.
Yes, that is why many big tech companies have their european hq there.
Given how long it took to fix the federation issues back in december (0.19 update), I'd be hesitant about updating, too.
It's a good development to see fediverse getting organized better. The burden of hosting a lemmy, mastodon etc. site should not lie on a single person.
AFAIK, the only reason not to use Letsencrypt are when you are not able to automate the process to change the certificate.
As the paid certificates are valid for 12 month, you have to change them less often than a letsencrypt certificate.
At work, we pay something like 30-50€ for a certificate for a year. As changing certificates costs, it is more economical to buy a certificate.
But generally, it is best to use letsencrypt when you can automate the process (e.g. with nginx).
As for the question of trust: The process of issuing certificates is done in a way that the certificate authority never has access to your private key. You don't trust the CA with anything (except your payment data maybe).
Isn't this something like 10 years old? If not, what has changed now?
Edit: German technews website heise says that libreoffice for android was released in 2015.
But tabs were a great addon. Also, it can finally handle linux line endings (\n). Thats the two things I miss when using old versions of notepad.
But a spell checker? Why?!
German word for flea market
The 100mb/sec are becoming a bottleneck for some use cases, but the capacity is awesome.
Interestingly, this CPU performs noticeably better under Linux than under Windows 11
For me, the license stuff is odd. They offer a license model with two tiers (user / server), yet the license seems to do nothing (except showing a little badge). Also, it is a one time payment which will likely not be substantial in the future.
Why not create a "supporter" tier for maybe $2 per month or so, this would bring some recurring income without the fears of paywalling the product.
If a post is interesting enough to write a comment, it also deserves an upvote.
If microsoft would release a gaming handheld, it would probably be locked down like the xbox console.
No, with these reasons:
I have a VPS for these tasks, and I host a few sites for friends amd family.
It's lile 5 years and I still have not seen one good use case for blockchain except cryptocurrencies.
I think subscriber count is probably not ideal. I've seen communities where the number subscribers is 10x the number of active monthly users.
For other communities, subscribers is about equal to active users.
This kind of spam is luckily pretty rare in europe, I get maybe one or two spam calls a year.
Foldable phones - at least the early generations hat lots of troubles with the hinges and scratched screens.
Still as of today, testers are undecided if these category of devices really has a benefit compared to just buying both a tablet and a phone (and still saving money).
Maybe because many streaming services have locked their 4k content behind some specific apps and platforms and offer lower resolutions on general desktop PCs.
From a european point of view, donating to a political campaign is nothing we would even consider. Additionally, we are not even allowed to donate if we wanted.
This makes this whole post relevant to less than 5% of the world's population.
This is so true. Some vendors try with larger screens, 120 hz and other stuff, but the steam deck is loved most for its software.
This graphic is almost two years old, is it still up to date?
AI Phones or AI laptops are IMO a pure marketing invention.
Lotide is
A federated forum / link aggregator using ActivityPub.
It looks very basic compared to lemmy/mbin.
There are four lotide servers still federated:

It's still magic to me that my comment here can be retrieved by a lotide server: https://lotide.fbxl.net/posts/137949
Additionally, the first Alpha version of PlaytronOS has now been released for those of you who wish to test and give feedback. So far they note it has been tested across the AYANEO 2, ASUS ROG Ally, GPD Win 4 (2023), Lenovo Legion Go, Valve Steam Deck LCD and Valve Steam Deck OLED.
Quite a nice list of tested handhelds.
Generally, we (sadly) see smart monitors come up like smart TVs did ten years ago.
Some noteable features include streaming apps (netflix...) and wireless screen mirroring from phones.
The approach could be to use the lemmy server software and a custom UI, not a whole new server-side project like kbin/mbin.
Examples:
If Microsoft really wants to get in the mobile gaming sector, why don't they even have a working protoype to show? The article claims that it is still "a few years away" at this point.
Doesn't sound like they really have high ambitions.
