Well dynamic pricing only ever works until you have a power outage in the winter and suddenly you pay a years worth of money for the 1 hour you could use your fridge, during a snowstorm.

Still remember that dna data was saved and edited inside of excel and somehow those huge strings of data were randomly false in part, because of automatic data conversion to arbitrary data formats.

few weeks of uptime? If you are not running any servers on windows, that shouldn't be an issue. Just shutdown your pc like a normal person.

Terrible is the following: Syncing performance. It either doesn't or far too late. Although the blank canvas is great, if you want to just add something onto my notes i have to select a specific space instead of just appending at the end.

But yes all that supported stuff is great, but man those things at the top. Dealbreakers.

I would find it interesting to see some old server hardware phased out and maybe purchase it for my home- office/lab. But I don't really know what to look out for, except for the gen4 hardware from 2017.

Easy answer. Three things: * Money * Lobbyism * Job security

We party of Merkel is great for "stability". But this stability also means everything bad will stay bad and stuff like policing lobbyism is not a priority for those politicians, because they are good enough to hide it and profit from it so much, that they don't want it to change at all. Worse, we even have one party FDP which is really small, but openly pushes against policing lobbyism and they are the second or third largest benefactor of huge lobby donations.

The powerful want to stay powerful. If you ask the normal citizen they would want things to change at least to make everything more right.

The third point is also quite critical. The biggest industry in Germany is car manufacturing. And because of this every change here might disrupt millions of people, potential voters, and harm the industry. The reason germany did not come up with a great Tesla competitor or even Tesla itself is because of that. Everything moves so slow in these companies, they depend on so many other companies to get you some part of your car and then in the end assemble it all, that any change will disrupt too much and gets killed before it can bud.

Before clicking the link I saw a Clippy animation coming up in my Head.

What where the noteworthy features, which make Syncthing a better solution?

had to dig into the repo to come to the same conclusion. My first thought was, wow for your first go app you really implemented image recognition for all ever available anime? And soon realised it must just link to a web service which already does this or he has his own webservice somewhere with much more cpu power than a tiny cli app.

Did the same. Was just not worth the risk of waiting until an issue gets fixed. Or if it even gets fixed. I mean even in GTA 5 working perfectly, the overlay always had an issue of a missing mouse pointer.

Also Microsoft Store bought games do not work on Linux.

Well and in the end i just want to play my games. And if i want to start modding, don't get me started on the hoops you have to jump through just to get a modded Skyrim with everything installed how you like it.

I am really looking forward for every Hacktoberfest. I try to look for issues, which i can fix with my knowledge. My problem often times is, that i do embedded software and finding an issue here is often times hardware dependend. So now i am looking for other things i might be able to fix. Of course i also want to get my 4th hacktoberfest t-shirt. But i really hate it that people start to spam repositories. Try to fix a real problem, not just changing a name.

i gotta say all this shittoberfest hype now really killed my mood and i hope that in the end the 70000 t-shirts will still be enough. Also i did not have the time to start hacking on the 1st october directly.

it seems to also be a problem of scale. At first only a select few knew about hacktoberfest. now so many people want to participate, that they try to limit the possible reward. So yeah i hope it is still enough for me and not gone, because too many people gamed the system...

Nooooooooo! Not Bethesda. Why? I still have bad memories regarding Rare and Lionhead. Although Rare redeemed itself with Sea of Thieves.
