Thank you for explaining. This helps me understand both his and this here situation.

First of all, I‘m totally ok with it being absurd. It was my impression that this person has been wronged and should be appropriately compensated for their (shit ton of) work. From the text, it seemed like there is a way to get this compensation (in the form of recognition of some sort).

I‘m totally fine with being told that he misrepresented the situation and he‘s more going off a principle here which would never be enforceable. If there were such a „standard“ for recognition for kernel controbution, one could definitely try to enforce it.

In general, I have no problem with standing corrected. What I do have a problem with is the way people in IT centric communities on lemmy (and reddit) behave in general.

Obviously you were kind enough to explain instead and without being violent or abusive. I highly respect that. Thanks again.

The person who shamelessly took their work and profited from it (in reputation). Who else?

I would absolutely try to sue in this case. My experiences with very experienced specialists is not stellar at all. The amount of gatekeeping and sheer arrogance is frightening. I get it, nobody wants to work on the kernel. It’s an underpaid (presumably) and underappreciated task. I would probably become an asshole as well if I dedicated 90% of my free time to fixing obscure bugs in even more obscure architecture.

Disclaimer: I‘m not a kernel dev and my experience stems from interactions with maybe 100 people of varying stages of proficiency. Sadly, the more proficient, the less friendly they often were.

Edit: the amount of downvotes you get for saying something unpopular without being violent or abusive is showing the lack of guts to discuss something in a civilized manner. Shame on you.

Whoops. In this case I don’t understand the question.

Probably home assistant? Thats what I use.

I find pulling things out of context rather rude to be honest.

Maybe ask questions if something strikes you as inaccurate or unprobable.

In my short time in an actual tech company, I was baffled at the amount of cockiness. It was a startup though.

I was easily the most senior person outside of management, yet others got positions in management from the start. I did have management experience and significant success but I lack the ability to sell it.

When I complained that this isn’t what I signed up for, they pretty much told me to suck it up.

I‘m rather exceptional at what I do, yet my neural configuration makes me unable to play social games so I decided to not go on and play them. Currently helping my wife in her small company.

Overreaching techniques to get you to pay, subscribe, log in or whatever.

Nah, I say we don’t run around villainizing everyone and stay with thos who fucked us over in the past. Otherwise we can trust exactly no one.

But isn’t it quite the jump from mozilla accepting drm from a service in an indistry that has invented drm to them accepting a blanket drm for the web? I think it’s kind of not guilty until proven for mozilla. They have so far (to my knowledge) not done anything very anti consumer.

Glad to help. Feel free to update or hit me up if you need help. Also feel free to check !ubuntuserver@discuss.tchncs.de

Makes total sense that one would familiarize himself with networking/selfhosting before actually going live and putting their private data at stake. I respect that.

Also, I would probably use cloudflare proxy but I don’t have experience with it yet so I‘d give it a quick search „cloudflare proxy vs dns only“ or something and see if any reason why you didn’t like it pops up.

Also, I suggest you keep a log if you dont have one already. Every time I do maintenance (essentially, every time I log into ssh on my server) I make an entry to my log. That way you will know why you did what you did when you did

Can relate. I‘m pretty much on the opposite end of this situation. I have a home server, hosting a fair amount of apps and it’s pretty integrated and polished but still a lot of things I want to do, some crucial before I even think of opening ports in my router.

The issue for me is that my internet upload speed is trash allthough my provider is rather good.

So I‘m thinking of moving the opposite direction and hosting my stuff on a vps so that I can use it and maybe share stuff with friends without being kneecapped by my upload.

The obvious solution would be a fiber connection which is not available at my location yet (edge of a city in germany, hard to believe, I know).

But to answer your question: you could probably pet apache do something like that but I‘m absolutely the wrong person to tell you how as I don’t have any experience with apache. I can help you configure npm (nginx proxy manager) and dns records but thats about it in this department.

In any case, have a good one and hit me up if you want to discuss this further.

This all sounds very reasonable. One question remains: what is the use of a dedicated proxy if cloudflare is connected? I do use nginx proxy manager and host my dockerized services on subdomains via https. I suppose if the reverse proxy gets attacked, the main server stays online and hidden. Does cloudflare not hide your ip and prevent (some) ddos attacks?

I‘m sure you didn‘t mean harm by copy pasting your answer but it doesn’t really match my comment now.

While I‘m not a „professional“ in the sense of ever working for a classical software company and had to look up uml, I have been CEO before and most bosses are not very intelligent (but kinda smart).

He might have reacted that way because he either didn’t know what you mean or he wanted you to do the work of designing the database. Just a thought though.

It sounds like the author is getting their points mixed up. It is not unlawful to scrape websites but google kind of makes it look that way which is inherently bad. There’s no two ways about this. Google needs to step back from this.

Yes, I remember the malicious popups from the past. In fact, some installers put non hazardous but still unwanted software of your pc while concealing it as just another page of things to accept (like avira for example). It’s all just harvesting that sacred attention and precious data. This is why it needs to stop. We don’t need to accept this. We can actually work together (open source) to advance and improve instead of letting someone use us for their gain while holding a carrot on a stick in our face.

Sure. You‘re welcome.

It’s heartbreaking how humanity treats its heritage especially given the extreme advancements of the last 100 yrs.

If you feel like your country does not do enough, consider writing letters to your local politicians and explain the situation. Often, people overestimate the amount effort it takes to make a difference with humans.

Good luck.

I can relate. People like you are the structural pillars of our society.

I‘m not familiar to the laws concerning cultural heritage but some of the museums should be partially tax funded, no?
