Replace Windows, Excel needed
To use Excel with macros, I don't even think the web version will cut it. Your only option is to use something like winboat to use excel inside a windows docker container as far as I know.

I don't have it on mine. I finished high school (college) 20 years ago. There are way more relevant things to put in my resume than that.

When the US was just helping them (even though they could have done much more), it showed the world that the US and it's allies were unified and willing to defend. That was way more terrifying for any opposing power... Now any opposing power are laughing at what they see about the US. They are now even less afraid than they have ever been since the end of the 2nd world war.
Even the US miraculously elect a acompetent leader for the next president, everyone know they can just wait for the next dumb guy to come in and wreck things up. They've had multiple now, each one dumber than the last, I don't believe Trump is the worst, we can't see the future.

Yes it's what's happening here in Canada and it's sickening. But it looks like it's better to blame the left for no reason, so why vote for them? Better keep slowly dismantling everything we collectively built instead!

Hotel > AirBNB
Reply in thread
Airbnbs were already illegal in the old port before that event. The company still allowed them to be posted. I'm quite sure the province didn't ban them too, there are still legal postings. Unfortunately, not much happened after this event. Media pressure made it so that Airbnb closed a bunch of illegal ads, but without legislation and enforcement its only temporary.

Well would you just look at this. Isn't that something?

While I agree, it surly is not how the CPC sees it. The CPC had an historic participation and only a circonscription had to vote for Pierre. In a way, he was rejected by his constituents, but not by Canada. If it wasn't for the NDP partisans that voted liberals, we probably would have a conservative government. So yeah... I'm not hopeful for the future, next elections might be deceiving.

You're both siding this though. The first one is completely made up, but the second one is a very real possibility.

Home automation - why?
As I said to people I know, fun. I have fun setting this up. Its a hobby. I like to search for bargains and build the automations. If you don't have fun doing it, its usually not really worth it. It gets expensive quick and its kind of a lot of work to research and setup if you want to keep your privacy.

Yes, I do this quite often. There's a thing called bridges that even those cars need.
The thing with this image is that a single bus or 2 would clear this. There is not a lot of people in this image.

I mean... The pro LLM people must surely have a tool to do OCR and analyse natural language of documents... I personally don't trust these that much, but they surely do much more than me.

Do you guys charge your phone with laptop charger(type-c)?
Yep, best thing ever, I bought a GaN charger, 100W 3 USB-C and 1 USB-A. It's small and light. I carry it around everywhere. I even bring it at my client's office instead of the power brick they gave me since it's so small.
Just make sure you have plenty of wattage. For instance, my job laptop uses a 65W adapter. If I want to charge this at the same time as my phone, I would need at least 90W to cover everything (65+25). So I have more power than necessary In order to be able to charge everything at once. Also, make sure to. Heck the adapter on how it distributes power trough the ports. My configuration could not be supported on a 3 port if for example they decided to split the power 55+45. But mine is 65+35 with 2 ports so I'm fine.

[Discussion] My thoughts about the usability of Linux
Reply in thread
I often had to go to the registry on Windows and the registry is way less user friendly than modifying files on Linux. When we say that we have to use the terminal for more complicated things on Linux, it's usually just modifying files that are well commented so you know exactly what you're doing. If you can read of course which isn't always a given.
For sure there are scripts and 3rd party apps that can modify the registry, but you can have the same thing on Linux too.
And today with how advanced KDE and Gnome are, the user needs to go less and less in the files. Almost everything I do is in the home folder too. I require root less and less, mainly to install packages.
I think it mainly comes down with what users are used to. People are used to the quirks of Windows, so Linux becomes scary and hard. If it was the other way around, Windows would be considered to be complicated. That's my take.

The main thing I dislike is that it will use the name Threads. Finding info on Thread, the network protocol for home automation devices, will be much harder. Might be niche, but annoying.

what's the dumbest and funniest divide in your friendship with someone.
The side of the toilet paper. My best friend is a mad men and puts it on the wrong side. He always changes it whenever he goes to the toilet somewhere.
Its just funny, my gf made a frame specifically for him in our bathroom and at one point we duck taped the shit out of the toilet paper dispenser so he wouldn't be able to change it. Made everyone laugh.

Student protesters dancing at Tiananmen Square before the massacre, Beijing, China, 1989

🤣 Exactly what I was asking myself. If their justification is "this group wasn't massacred, this group was instead", how the fuck is that better? I never understand how people can be so willing in justifying authoritarian regimes and massacres...

Stepping up from Tinkercad but to what?
I tried Onshape and now switched to ondsel which is freecad but with a different user interface.
I've had success with it. I find onshape to be a little easier to work with, but I find owning my files more important.

How do you manage you DB in a docker environment?
I work per stack. Each stack can have multiple services/containers. So one db per stack. I usually work with the compose file provided by the app I want to run and they usually provide their database container in those. My persistent data for a stack is in a single folder for every services. For backup, I only have to backup the compose and environment files and also the persistent folder and that's it. Every stack is independent from each other so it's easier to move them from a server to another if I want to use more than one server.
I used to use only one db container for all db. It worked well, until I had a data corruption issue. I had to rollback from a backup for all services that used this db. Then I moved to 1 db per stack and it happened again, but this time, only that stack was impacted, so no big deal. Just did a rollback and everything was fine.
