While not the best thjbg for customers, it helps them reduce fraud and keep the service acceptable.

Since vultr network has a hood reputation, they could be abused to send spam. Having crypto payment only would not prevent them to detect repeat abusers. With a verified payment method they can ID who me they are providing service for.

In an absence of such limitation, abusers can simply create a new email and wallet then get back to abusing.

This is very powerfull because it has no slurs, polite, does jot compare you to something like a 8 years old insult and makes you think about for a moment. When the meaning sinks in you realize its power and it hurts.

Insults that compare you to something aren't that powerful.

Insults that describe you, like this one, have a great impact.

Good for you. However many many people are still stuck with ugly ass slow poorly written jQuery code.

 

In PHP ecosystem there is a tool called Rector. It helps a lot in automated refactoring. It helps a lot in updating from a bad design pattern to another, update code to match a given framework updates, etc.

Maybe we could create a similar tool for client side Javascript to migrate away from jQuery to vanilla Javascript. Websites youmightnotneedjquery.com have a good collections of vanilla JS alternatives to jQuery.

While one could do it manually, on larger code bases, it is extremely tedious.

Maybe such tool exists and I am unaware of it?

At first, I thought about having such transformation as an optimization step in the bundler, but this is unnecessarily redundant and might cause a lot of troubles.

There are 2 kinds of distributions. Ones that are on customization side and those on stability side.

For example Debian, Fedora, and arguably Arch are on stability side. They are intended for people that want things to work predictably and software to be packaged and shipped as the developer intended it. Customization or lack of it is up to the user.

Distributions like Manjaro, Zorin OS, Elementary OS, LMDE or even Linux XP are have a given goal to a particular customization. Either a set of tweaks, a particular look or even their own desktop environment or set of software they develop themselves.

This means that the first kind would have the most boring update, as they just ship new and correctly integrated software. While the second kind would provide very nice customisations or patching of their own to their environment.

I only read the titre to ne honnest. But anyways to use it privately for real is to use it without account.

You don't create an account. And do not save coookiies for it. Only use a web browser. This would severy limit your usage as Instagram would constantly nag you to login and deteriorate your experience. But worth it. This is how I use it.

You don't have to go to Instagram frequently but only when someone shares a link with you.

My logitech mx master 3 works instantly on fedora with all it's features. I also have various wired and worless keyboards and mouses that work instantly on Fedora.

For same mouse on windows, I need to wait for it to download and install outs drivers.

Maybe you got things confused or are using LinuxFromScratch or something.

Generally, when things work on windows, it is the effort of whomever made the device or software. Microsoft generally does not develop drivers. However, when things work on GNU/Linux it is the effort of GNU, Linux, or the community. The manufacturer probably did nothing. This simply explains why we are generally relaxed or "give Linux too much benefit of the doubt relative to the “things that just work”".

So fairly comparing a Linux distro to raw windows, Linux is better. When you install a distro, things just work, when you install windows, most stuff do not work and you need to complete setup. Unless you use tools provided by the manufacturer, but then again, it is same story.

do you have mice ham?

Actually he is asking for deli meat. Some mice ham.

Not really weired. For example, a keyboard has a firmware. 99% of keyboards have no way of it being updated or changed. It is part of its electronics. So not a big deal. But, if a keyboard has a way to update the firmware or install another one, then it should be FOSS.

 

I want to setup a camera monitoring for my house and some rooms. I need to bee able to view the cameras remotely and and also do recording if possible. I could find some camera brands like dahua cams but having briefly tested them they. Seem to rely on acwmtralized cloud and proprietary visualization software.

What are you recommendation? This is not a professional setup I would at max have 3 cameras.
