Yeah.

I’m in Australia, I suspect you might be also, but for reference a few months ago our centre-left party ground our centre-right party into the dust in a landslide election victory.

I suppose I agree that its not all bad news.

However, I’m gravely concerned about the US trajectory and I’m certain it will have an impact here sooner or later.

Right now our PM is trying to negotiate the current tariffs. The US will want us to increase military spending, and reduce investment in science and research. We might resist, but it’s certainly pressure to move in the wrong direction.

I dont think anyone cares about money anymore.

They can see the problems arising from climate change on the horizon and they’re creating a ruling class and a subservient class.

If you’re part of the ruling class you dont need money.

I dont think that’s it.

It’s an overwhelming case of “got mine”.

Like sanders said, being a GOP member just means staying in line.

Unfortunately I think Trumpism is lowering the bar. Maybe right now it’s not fascism everywhere, but there’s no doubt that on a decades time the world will be more fascist than it would have been without Trump.

Good lord. I’m not having a debate about the adequacy of an analogy. Well done.

Like any analogy, it doesn’t perfectly map to the complex issue being analogised (?), but it’s not as absurd as you’re making out.

The architecture for plugin support is not free. Even if no plugins are active the platform is built to support all the extra nonsense.

lighttpd is the leanest webdav implementation i can think of. Obviously it doesn’t have sync and sharing and permissions, but it’s an interesting point of reference demonstrating how over engineered nextcloud really is.

If you’re a fan, and want all of this stuff bundled together then fine, have at it. As I said up top, I am using it but I dislike it immensely.

Those are add-ons.

Besides which, o365 is not a single self hosted php behemoth.

I’m loathe to extoll the virtues of 365. I don’t use it and never will.

Oh please. AWD is not “better” 4WD. 2 different things for completely different purposes.

Sure that’s why I drive my 4wd anywhere i want to go - i don’t want or need 4wd but I can just not use that functionality.

Sorry what office suite is basic NC functionality that has been there for a long time?

Well if I uninstaller them what would i complain about?

Nextcloud isn’t a 365 competitor?

It’s filesync with contacts and calendar.

Even once you build in documents and spreadsheets, 365 at least has separate applications for that - its not a single overblown behemoth.

Partly, yes. But also partly because world leaders have realised that if you don’t want the US to fuck you up the ass you need to say nice things to Trump, preferably combined with gifts.

KeepassXC is the only thing that makes sense to me.

I don’t want all my passwords stored with some huge target like lastpass or bitwarden.

Encrypted local (and synced) DB is the only way.

Kinda sounds awful honestly.

I do use nextcloud for my small team. It’s the best of the selfhosted file sync platforms.

That said, it’s obscenely over engineered.

Who ever wanted a file sync platform that also does calendaring and contacts?

Hol up. Didn’t NATO guy wank all over daddy’s boobs already?

We won the lottery on this. Had twins, 1 boy 1 girl at birth. They’re too young to know if they’re gonna be friends, enemies, (probably both?)

Oh wow it’s you, PugJesus.

I love the photos you post in the various ~historyporn communities.

I had a feeling this would lead nowhere.

precisely the point I was trying to make.

Oh man.

My comment was intended to imply that the term “hacking” defies definition because it has been grossly overused and misconstrued over many decades.

Sure you might be able to convey what it means to you but of course it means different things to everyone else, with each definition being equally appropriate.

Er go, any discussion is one of semantics.

I thought marines were generally trump voters?

As in my assumption is they’re mostly on board with Trumps agenda and happy to serve.
