EU drops sponsorship of disinformation conference at Trump officials’ request by Mihies in c/news@lemmy.world

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 5 points 5 days ago

No, you don't get it. This is tactical EU appeasing to the Orange to buy time and then we'll get independent, take that Orange!!!! /s

But really I feel horrible, I had a feeling that EU was like at least 1% more independent.

I don't. If this scenario is supported, I don't see any real problem anymore.

And people were not-so-long-ago concerned that phones are spying after them. Now they just send all the info themselves.

I really wish PeerTube would take off, or any other alternative.

I'm surprised that such buttons even exist in the US.

Something similar happened to Slovene Iskra Triglav computer which was quite advanced for the time (capable of running three different CPUs) but then caught in between US-Soviet cold war/embargo while trying to sell them to Soviet Union.

That's why we need an alternative to US credit cards yesterday. And also a spine transplant to politicians.

Microsoft getting nervous about Europe's tech independence by Mihies in c/europe@feddit.org

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 112 points 1 year ago

I for one am ditching Windows and Office which I've been using professionally since Windows 3.0. It's the year of the Linux for me. As per data in US clouds (even hosted in EU), it was never safe.

About backup and switching to a different distro (programming.dev)

submitted 2 years ago by Mihies@programming.dev to c/linux@programming.dev

I'm going to move away from Windows into Linux and have some strategical questions, among others how do you handle backups/restore and how do you switch distros.

There are two main questions (in case of catastrophic failure or transition):

How do you reinstall your apps? I'm considering ansible for that - have all my installs (as much as possible) done through ansible playbooks.
How do you recover your backup data? Just copy from backup to home directory probably won't do when it comes to a different distro, or? Here I'm considering doing ZFS snapshosts (ZFS pool/datasets would be used for my home directory) to my backup server but not sure how to recover it in case of switching to a different distro. It should be copy in the case of system restoration I guess.

Any other recommendations?

I'm looking for a front light "for being seen" that can be mounted under K-Edge mount - GoPro adapter. Not looking for something heavier that illuminates the road ahead (thought I might in future). It has to e rechargeable, USB-C preferably and available in EU. Any suggestions? TIA

Well written thoughts on C#12 primary constructors. Sadly they are not really useful. At least for now.

How does breaking affect brakes? (programming.dev)

I was always wondering this. Imagine a steep descent. What is better for brake wear - braking constantly or more powerful just at the end? Anybody knows? Goes for both rim and disc brakes

I'm considering Fiido Titan as e-bike for shopping and short distance commuting. It's hilly where I need it. Any thoughts on bike quality or anything else? From a review on YouTube it seems decent enough. TIA

Eurosport discontinuing streaming (programming.dev)

submitted 2 years ago by Mihies@programming.dev to c/bicycling@lemmy.world

Eurosport started sending e-mails that they are discontinuing streaming (premium) service in favor of HBO MAX. Which is much, like 3x more expensive if you happen to watch only bicycling or some other sports and you don't care about other stuff. Even more odd is that they were sending e-mails like a couple of weeks ago that they were just increasing the price. So, that's it for me watching bicycling, I guess. It's been nice while it lasted, then corporate greed took over.
