The recent evolution is great and I've been a happy KDE user for many years, but my oh my is NetworkManager bad. It's not good on all systems that use it under the hood, but I find it especially unintuitive and so outdated. The applet thing is fine (still suffers from weird behaviour from NM's core), but actual settings screen drives me crazy... The Bluetooth one should also receive some love, but it's decent. NM needs serious revision.

    The map is wildly simplistic, as usual for these Internet takes lol.
    In Portugal, for example (where I come from), I don't know anyone that keeps their shoes in-doors 95% the time. If you're doing some quick work or holding an event, people might be a bit more lack about taking off your shoes, but I (and many my friends) always make an effort to take some kind of home footware when visiting other people's homes. As a general rule? Everyone puts some socks/sleepers/flipflops on.

    I agree it's a nice way to try it out, though it has some limitations. Also, my experience with encryption at rest has been a mixed bag, though I think that's just because Nextcloud's implementation isn't quite mature enough.

    (happy cakeday!)

    Well, we're back at it. The first episode starts with some classic The Boys scenery .-.

    So far, Chance's absence seems coherent and well executed. And my oh my, the writers are even more on the nose with the parallels to the real world...

    As others have also mentioned, Minoxidil can be effective at slowing or stopping balding, with daily application, though it isn't immediate (may take a couple of weeks to start showing results). It can vary a lot from person to person, so give it a shot for a couple of months before deciding whether to commit or not.

    While the issue of the inter-server protocol being overly chatty is very much real, putting the burden on the users isn't a good solution.

    The focus should instead be on improving the protocol itself and its implementation with better algorithms, batching, etc. I'm not super knowledgeable about the inner workings, but I feel like there's still some relatively "low hanging fruits" in the protocol design (are activities properly batched? are they sent as linear broadcasts to all federated instances? could we use some alternative broadcast distribution, like binomial? etc) and implementation (is the data model leading to some expensive operations? are the SQL queries well written? could we speed them up some other way?).

    I say this as someone who's been running an instance for many years now, and can tell you for sure it has been a rather bumpy ride, as a small server. Running a good and fast server with lots connections is not cheap; not as much as it should, at least imo.
