This is an absolutely metal business decision made by OpenDNS (Cisco).
Court orders in France and Portugal are requiring the big open DNS resolvers (Google, OpenDNS, CloudFlare, etc.) to block resolution of a small list of domains for anyone in those countries.
OpenDNS seems to have decided to not implement the blocklist, and instead will just not answer any DNS queries from inside those countries.
Change implemented on a Friday evening, for maximum surprise.
A very cozy office 😅
It is mostly all unpacked and already usable now.
And yes, we need all 3 fans.

Doing an office + house move in the middle of warm humid weather is really something... 😓
Not sure if any energy remains for assembly now, who needs a kitchen anyway.

'He added that finding developers who know vanilla JavaScript and not just the frameworks was an “unexpected difficulty.”'
From an excellent piece by @ricmac on one company's transition from React to native DOM APIs and vanilla JS

To be clear, since many folks seem to not understand it:
I am NOT saying Linux and FOSS software is perfect for all workflows. I am NOT saying you aren't "trying hard enough" if you can't switch or don't want to. I am NOT saying my way is better and your way is worse. I am NOT calling you lazy.
What I am saying, emphatically, is that telling people that #Linux and #FOSS are *incapable* of professional work is fundamentally incorrect.
It's my profession, I do it, and it works.
@prokoudine in theory in 4 years there will be less of them
Some nice news for a change, hope to see more like this 👏
@dvzrv around Lichtenberg station, 10m or so walking.
Reachable by U5, S5, S7 and S75, plus a few tram lines too.
So quite a good location.
After months looking finally getting a place for myself! 🎉
Exciting times ahead, but first a whole bunch of packing, moving, unpacking and assembly... in between a trip to Portugal and then Finland again.
It is going to be a while until life stabilizes again, but there is potential for great things.

@sampo I think I meant stuff like buildroot or yocto.
I use buildroot for work and like it, but yocto is more popular.
@dvzrv to be fair I had the same when using waf too and needed a "waf install -j 1" to fix.
but it shouldnt be a failure that the build system allows of course

Did you know that #XScreenSaver (yes, the collection of screensavers for X11) is available on Android?
And that #Google requires it to have a privacy policy in order to be available in the Play Store?
And that the maintainer chose to crowd-source a privacy policy where every item starts with "Unlike Google"?
It's become a great list of all the privacy violations Google did and still does. And I thought that it's gonna be long, but it's even longer than I imagined.
@sampo was indeed very nice! I order that special Finnish gin drink the next day :)
for the CM5 it is intentionally barebones, you are supposed to get the devkit first for validation, then do your own hardware/board.
these "compute modules" are meant to go in custom boards for being able to do custom IO.
radxa has other more generic all-in-one products too based on the same cpu.

Last week, I finally re-experienced the joy of composing music (as opposed to just playing by notes) after playing around with #MIDI, #pipewire and... *drumroll* #Carla!
_Carla_ is a patchbay for connecting different audio components together plus a plugin host for those same components. It is really nice to link audio processors together to get the sound one wants!
And that's—all open-source, made by @falktx—thanks man, you brought many smiles to my face last week (: #libremonday
@woof its a community that I am glad still exists. poor VGMix really tried to keep going even a 2nd time but failed.
on the age of web service centralization, projects like ocremix and even qhimm forums make me glad that some still care about maintaining such communities active
Casually checking an old game music site I used to visit, see the latest news about "Regarding Recent Technology Advancements"
https://ocremix.org/community/topic/53443-regarding-recent-technology-advancements
hmmmm hope it is what I think it is...
> Starting today, the sharing of music generated by feeding a prompt into AI-software is prohibited on OC ReMix
👏 👏 👏
They explain their reasons, I am glad to see such takes.
@macberg totally understand. my plan for this one is a dual-boot, I would not be able to stand using Windows for the daily task stuff
@macberg so Windows on a VM? that kinda sucks for performance on audio and gpu, which are 2 of my critical points (the VirtualBox OpenGL support is quite meh).
Plus it doesnt test the real Windows experience that users get to see.
