Nice. I like Kinsinger as a person and respect him. Have no idea his policies but they are at least sane.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. More then likely kids love to play act and role play. It is one way they learn. Is it possible too that some kids have multiple personalities?

Drones are important sure. I am not sure how important. It is no surprise that Ukraine cannot do large scale combined arms maneuver warfare though. Neither Ukraine or Russia is trained in that and Ukraine does not have conventional air support to a large extent. I would not attribute it entirely to drones.

I think he is trying to say this is the way it is and implies that this is where it is going. I do not buy it. This may just be a run up. We have not seen major powers engage and I hope we do not. I also do not agree with his characterization of the Russia Ukraine conflict.

He is not an American citizen and he is not in the US. How does US law apply.

I am still not clear what supposed crime he has committed other then pissing powerful people off. He should get a reward for that.

Never forget that Russia was also an instigator in WW II and stared as an axis power and later partially switched sides but then kept the countries they had conquered so really they were just the surviving axis power.

In that sense WW II never really was completed until the 80s. In fact I have a relative that served in WW II in the 60s or maybe 70s. Now they want to reopen it basically.

Pretty much any IMAP mail provider combined with Nextcloud for sync will work.

Keep in mind too that Proton Mail has a commercial offering that should work with thunderbird. I have no experience with it.

We use our ISPs mail with our Nextcloud instance but long run will probably move to domain mail with maybe Fastmail for the mail component. Not sure yet. I will be interested in what you find.

Supply chain attacks also show one reason that using older software like Debian stable may be a better plan for things that matter. All new software versions need some time to be tested and vetted.

It also shows the importance of security in depth. That less is more in terms of code dependencies and complexity. That knowing dependencies is as important as knowing your code.

I would consider the xz incident to be a success. The supply chain attack was found pretty rapidly. We have already seen many of these and we will see more. Ones I remember off the top of my head include Linux Kernel, NodeJS, Python PyPI.

I would not over blow this. Security is an ongoing activity and all security is porous.

My wife and I have used GnuCash for 20 years. We used Quicken before that. Like GnuCash way better since it is actually double entry accounting. The major limitation of GnuCash is that it is not concurrent. So to people cannot be modifying the ledger at the same time. Not sure about viewing. It can be SQL database backed though I have never used that functionality. The other place where FOSS stuff probably lags is integrations.

Edit: Another area in which GnuCash is weak is basis tracking. Fine on accounting for gains and losses but for tracking the basis is limited. At least my version is. I am on 3.x which is the version in the repos of my near end of life Debian 10 distro and latest is 5.5. At least my version there is no way to show true returns either.

Why ssh? Does ssh use xz?

I think it depends on how good your Numpy build is. Lot of Numpys are not that well built so Numba seems to help there too in that case.

For a python library to be fast it needs to be compiled for your specific hardware, vectorized, with fast math, and auto parallel. Most are probably not unless you build them youself.

I liked the Usenet and Reddit similarity. They both seamed to have more length stable patterns then the others. Also similar platforms in a lot of ways. Usenet ironically was the one that showed some declining toxicity with conversation length.

Nice thing about Solidworks is I think is used the ACIS kernel. Means it is directly compatible with a lot of other software.

Actually Solidworks is consider low to mid market. NX and whatever PTC calls their high end now are the main stream CAD systems as far as I know.

LibreOffice unless MS Office comparability is the most important thing. Then maybe try ONLYOFFICE.

I used to use Solidworks and NX some. I think there are similarities. That is sketch based. I admit though, not really learned FreeCAD either. On my list some day.

There are a bunch. There are fewer that are multiuser. Search alternativeto. Thing is people want more then double entry accounting. Electronic payment processing, reporting, payroll, AR, tax… Then how does it work with the professionals you hire.

Edit: For personal stuff, my wife and I use GNUCash. It does have small company features. I do not think it is concurrent though, but it can be used with an SQL backend though. We do not use the database mode so no experience with it.

FreeCAD is the best FOSS program I know for solid modeling. Librecad works for 2D.

No I did not. Financial forum her is kind of dead. Not sure what other tax related forums there are on lemmy. My question was about some specific issues related to getting an incorrect 1095-C. I think I have decided on a cousre of action now but was looking for others thought too.
