Excel enters its 40th year
  • I also prefer a spreadsheet, but for a proficient coder it's not a week long job, unless they build it on bare metal. You can do a lot in an hour with a visualization library.

  • What's your least favorite thing about cycling?
  • B-but I've been riding this one for 20 years, changing it would be like learning to ride again!

    But for real, you may be right. Is it not common to have this pain?

    As for you in 10 years: I know a retired guy who switched to an ebike when he wasn't strong enough for his daily ride. That's one option.

  • Why is Mastodon struggling to survive?
  • Exactly copying a name is a bit strange to me. I have always been under impression that whoever named the social network has been unaware of the band.

    Lemmy and Debian are not the same.

  • The ongoing feud between Wordpress and WP Engine is threatening open-source principles and good name
  • The problem is that these plugins need updates for security. You can't realistically manually reinstall all plugins on all sites weekly.

    This is not to defend any of the sides, just something that may not be obvious at first sight. This ecosystem is full of amateurish code and unupdated addons are being hacked on a regular basis.

  • Ok boomer
  • I'd book a flight through a travel agency if these still existed. Booking online is pure dread to me. I'm too young to have ever seen a travel agency but the concept of not having to deal with Ryanair and Wizzair is very luring.

  • What's your experience with the sneakernet?
  • I just shipped n 8TB drive of children's shows to a friend. First, because many of the shows I wanted to recommend him aren't on streaming services and second, because he's moving to the mountains soon, where the internet may or may not be available.

    Other than this instance, the last time was likely around 2007.

  • Hetzner launches s3-compatible object storage
  • I'm not saying you're going to lose data or that it is a bad product. It's for a different use case.

    I have a cluster of servers where storage box has been used for passing data between serves for batch processing. Not a lot of data but if it is not available, the while system is down. I learned the hard way. Plus they sometimes change IP addresses which is bad of you have a strict firewall.

    But for backing up postgres and some other files, Storage Box is great value and it's not a problem at all if it's down for a few hours.

  • Roll-on deodorant refill?

    I've noticed that the Nivea roll-on deodorants I'm using are pretty easy to open after used up, but haven't found any refill fluid on the market.

    I know some people use powders etc, I'm not willing to try that, but does anyone know of a reasonably priced refill?

    Trying and failing to use lemm.ee on mobile

    I'm trying to log in to my brand new lemm.ee account using Jeroba on Android. I copied the password from my laptop, and the login is rather hard to get wrong, and Jeroba keeps giving me "invalid login" error.

    When I'm trying to use web version of lemm.ee via Bromite (Android web browser based on Chrome), the circle keeps spinning and login page does not display any error or complete the login. When refreshing, I'm still not logged in. I tried desktop mode in Bromite too, same problem.

    On the laptop everything works perfectly with the web version.

    Is this something on your side or Jeroba?
