  • While starting to actively block casting. Because you know, going to a vacation home and logging into a foreign device is a million times safer than just plugging in your own Chromecast.

    Forcing people to buy smart TVs so they can watch your content ( or enable the smart function so they might get bombarded with ads ) is great customer service.

    Just like telling everybody to share accounts with friends and family and then doing a 180 and complain that you’re losing money over this and we should pay more.

    I have a hunch that 2026 will be the year off “piracy is skyrocketing once again and we have no idea why”.



  • Personally? No I’ve never bought a cert before. Given there’s free alternatives and it’s a homelab it doesn’t make sense. Otherwise I’ve used them on AWS, where ACM also just provides them for free.

    What you’re saying is that certificate providers will still charge you and provide certificates for a year, but just provide you with N certificates to span that year?

    E.g. if the duration is 45 days then they will give you 365/45 certificates ?




  • Where is this even coming from? The guy above me is saying not to give devs better hardware and to teach them to code better.

    I followed up with an example of how using indices in a database to boost the performance helped more than throwing more hardware at it.

    This has nothing to do with having worked on old code. Stop trying to pull my comment out of context.

    But yes you’re right. Adding indexes to a database does nothing to solve adding a new feature in the scenario you described. I also never claimed it did.








  • Libreoffice their latest blogpost is from the 20th of August 2025. There have been a few releases in the past few months as well.

    Openoffice their latest ( Apache Openoffice 4.1.15 ) was released almost 2 years ago ( December 2023 ).

    Libreoffice seems like a more recent, better supported tool over Openoffice which hasn’t seen any updates since 2023 according to their own website.

    I’m on my phone, so I didn’t search extensively. But I think that also plays a role in why there’s a much larger fanbase for libreoffice rather than Openoffice.

    I’ve no recent experience with either so I can’t comment on how well either works.

    Edit: I looked up the wrong one. My statement remains correct w.r.t. Openoffice, but they mentioned Onlyoffice which is a different product.
