I don’t know the standard but if Google is involved you know they are going to be pushing people to use their own ‘extensions’ of the standard to lock both the hosts and users into their ecosystem. It’s the same thing as Microsoft’s ActiveX making sites IE only in the early 2000s.
The sites are broken, FireFox doesn’t break them. They make the choice to use non-standard features.
I have one of their all-in-one colour toner machines for my GF’s business, it’s awesome. Scanning to an SFTP share means she can just feet a stack of paper into it and get a PDF in her Documents/Scans directory.
AND fun fact, there are no lasers in “laser printers” they all use 1D LED arrays to transfer the image data to the drum. Only the early toner based printers used a real laser and they were operating almost like a CRT, scanning a raster onto the drum.
I wish the “Dark Web” hadn’t turned into shit show, Just looking into it now gets you onto some fuckin watch list but it would have been a perfectly viable place to set up a proper censorship-free web. It also takes care of the user-quality issue by being slightly harder to use than a button that says “INSTALL APP NOW!”
Damnit, I’m boring af. Machines are named by their model for laptops/consumer devices and buy their CPU for home built stuff.
Except for Crimson-Binome.local 🏴☠️
Having just jumped over I might be bottom of the priority list for company communications.
Guess I’m a low-value client.
I might do so as well to avoid the next decade of shopping around.
I know there are other factors it just feels like the only people getting screwed are the little guys. In Canada the rates that third party ISPs pay and charge are dictated by the giant telcos. Our regulating body even allowed the telcos to raise prices to the point where reselling is no longer viable. Fucking the little guys again.
Docker kinda does it by being like an app store but for servers. It’s not very flexible but everyone using a particular image gets the same experience.
Ubuntu has a bigger market share in the support department. Makes it easier to find advice that applies specifically to your setup.
I don’t care if I have to see unobtrusive ads (not overlays, not popups, not unskippable videos) ads help keep many web services free, sometimes I even find it helpful when ads are relevant to my recent searches or the page I am looking at. But having companies build up profiles about me and then share that between themselves is bullshit, that kind of behavior would be treated as stalking if done by an individual, why is it ok for a business?

When using solar directly to heat water how much more efficient can you get than a black container?
This is the way. I run stock Debian with LXC, you get what you ask for and that’s it.
I was with Google Domains but switched to Namecheap. They are easy enough to work with and not the most expensive.
I find most laptops are well supported about a year after their release.
Who needs fuses anyway.
KeePassXC/KeeWeb + WebDAV is a kick-ass combo that covers every device while also being as simple as possible.
Lazy users is why Reddit blotted out individual forums.
