You are correct - they have no legal obligation. They do however have a moral obligation. It seems to me that if corporations want to be people when it comes to things like political donations then they should be people when it comes to their moral obligations as well.

I think the bigger question is how many corporations are supporting foss projects? I’m sure a lot of us contribute a bit here and there if we can and I’m sure it makes a difference - but if some of these corporations, making billions of dollars profit, contribute just a tiny fraction of their wealth it could make a huge difference.

It’s the same argument as recycling, turning off lights, walking instead of driving etc. etc. - yes there are 8 billion of us and if we all do it, it will make a difference, but the difference we make is still not significant compared to corporate greed.

We are being gaslit to accept yet another scenario where we socialize the cost and privatize the profit.

Interesting - mine is syncthing-fork 1.30.0.4. When I go to the App Info page it says “App installed from F-Droid” and when I tap on that button I get a small pop-up that says “No such app found.”

I installed mine from F-Droid. I just went there to turn off updates and it doesn’t exist. I have not been paying attention so it may have been gone for ages and not related?

What’s a FP (in this context)??

They’re getting paid by the government, not trump personally - I’m assuming they’ll get paid much more than the job is actually worth, possibly as payment for some previous or future job for trump. There will be some angle to every contact issued for the whole project.

I read yesman’s comment as agreeing with the sentiment in the op, not arguing against it?

In the current political climate, I can’t understand how they got visas to enter the country and then, with appropriate visas, how/why ICE allowed them to cross the border. Of course I understand how it’s possible, it just seems weirdly wrong.

It’s pre terminated pure copper direct burial cat6 from Amazon. I don’t have access to a real tester, but my cisco switch has some built in test capability and I’m not sure I fully understand the results, but it’s assessment of the cable length is pretty close and, more importantly, it shows all the pairs are the same as each other. I think that if there was some damage to the cable, it’s unlikely that it would affect all the pairs in exactly the same way. I have other weird grounding issues - like 20V between neutral and ground, even though it’s a new house and they’re properly bonded at the service entry. I had a really old transformer on the street feeding the two buildings and the power company recently replaced it - I was disappointed when this didn’t resolve all my issues.

I guess that’s what I haven’t figured out yet - it’s about 200’ and I don’t have 200’ of wire laying around. I’m thinking of making dummy terminations for each end of my cat6 cable and stripping each of the pairs and twisting them together so it works as a single conductor and using that to measure.

a Gaia?

It’s a 200’ cable and the buildings each have their own connection to the power company. I suspect that the earth potential of the two buildings is quite different - I just have not figured out a way to measure it yet and not sure if there’s anything I can do to fix it even if I do confirm it.

I already have a pair of Ubiquiti airMax GigaBeams left over from a different project and agree - they perform incredibly well. I didn’t even bother aligning mine as they did 800Mbit/s just pointed in the right general direction. A trench was being dug to the studio for another reason and cable is relatively cheap so I figured I’d drop one in. Hasn’t turned out as well as I hoped. I will setup the GigaBeams one day - but the cable does occasionally sync at 1Gbps and I’m hoping that one day it just stays there :-)

As someone who grew up with 10Base2 and 10BaseT, and thought 100Mbps was amazing - it still surprises me every time I’m reminded how slow it is now. I buried a cat6 cable out to my wife’s studio and due to (I assume) some grounding issues it only syncs at 100Mbps - it works for general browsing etc., but every time we try to move some data it’s arggghhh.

I hate organised religion too, and I get what you’re saying but, like it or not, the pope is a world leader with a lot of influence - if he can use that influence to reduce the fighting (even if with selfish motives) then that’s a good thing.

simple webdav server that’s compatible with the Nextcloud sync clients

Now THAT is interesting - when I was last experimenting with Nextcloud I learned that the files part is just a webdav server. Unfortunately I also learned that they have a bit of a handshake before the webdav so the client wouldn’t work with my apache2 webdav server. Thanks!

That seems to be the case. Really sucks that the documentation at nextcloud.com directs people to the AIO. I guess they hope that if you have a bad time trying to install your own server you might buy their cloud service.

Yeah, I can see how someone that has “grown up with it” could be happy. But as and experienced sysadmin coming at it for the first time - the documentation is a bit lacking.

Because an android client is one of my requirements. I can get files from SMB on Android using any number of file managers, but I can’t map a SMB share to a filesystem so files are available for an app to use.

Yes! There used to be a little utility that could map a SMB share in Android, but that got killed years ago.
