At this latitude? At this time of year? May I see it?

European Commission has an active account on their own instance

They’re asserting €120M for X is equivalent to 1¢ for us plebes. An ignorable cost of doing business.

There’s no appetite for these laws in the voter public of any state, as far as I can tell given how VPN usage skyrockets in every state where these laws are put in place. Is California no longer liberal? Also consider the people running sites in any of the states that have such a law. They may resort to just blanket ID-checking everyone rather than risk prosecution.

well you better not get it in his eye, that’s for sure!

I’ve yet to see any state legislature take that proposal seriously

I haven’t settled on anything yet. I basically just want something off-the-shelf which I can run containers on and has good version of Synology Drive. But I just migrated from Windows to Linux, and am finding this to be a sticking point. Synology Drive is available on Linux without on-demand sync. QNap supports QSync on Linux but only for Ubuntu, and it seems like manually unpacking the dev file and installing doesn’t work with latest versions. Running NextCloud on QNap might be an option.

Hell I remember when USB on PCs was basically a set of pins on the motherboard and you had to buy the actual port assembly separately and hope there was somewhere reasonable on your case to mount it. Was going absolutely nowhere on PC until the iMac came and did away with all other ports and no peripherals built in.

that was the final straw for me to switch NAS vendors when I next upgrade.

That’s about a $600,000 savings for that quarter, for a company that reported $13.9 billion in revenue for Q3 2025.

The trans people they never knew they met.

I thought it was going to be a new form factor iPhone that could fit comfortably in your pocket.

See my vest! See my vest! It’s authentic gorilla chest!
