It's an interesting project, but I'm confused why they got funded with EU money. Their company is based in Boston and it looks as both of them are living in them US, which suggests neither of them is European citizen or pays taxes in the EU, which ultimately is where the money for these grants comes from. The funding requirements of NLNet state "it is a knock-out criterion for each project to have a "European dimension [...] where a significant contribution towards the vision of the Next Generation Internet initiative also qualifies".

I'm not trying to pick on this particular project, I just found out non-EU projects can apply at all. I hope the majority of NLNet money goes to projects that actually are executed in Europe and build expertise there.

> is exporting your entire archive even a feature Pinboard says it has?

Yes, it's in Settings>Backup>Archive Backup

I think to remember that idlewords even recommended to do it once in a while. Should I not get my archive backup I guess I can still reconstruct most of it from the Internet Archive. It would just be nice if it worked (but my 5-year subscription will run out soon now anyway).

I paid 5 years in advance after I had zero problems with pinboard for a couple of years. When archiving started to detoriate I contacted support and got ignored. Now I try to take my archive with me and again: it does not work and I get no reply. Maciej has for years marketed pinboard as the sane, stable alternative to VC-money chasing competitors and now for quite some time the service now does not deliver to promise. What you call "drama" most likely are frustrated users who believed in his story.

Hi, I am one of the people writing and coding these standards at Fastmail. There are IETF standard drafts for JMAP calendars, contacts and tasks in the works (not just by Fastmail). We aim at publishing them in 2023. You can check the progress in the IETF calext and jmap working groups and we appreciate any input on the mailing lists!

I am a long-time user and archiving broke on my account at least half a year ago. Despite two support emails I did not get any replies. Feels quite "unmaintained" to me.

I think this is good advice, except probably for road cycling. Both my physio therapist and Yoga teacher told me that sitting on a road bike is counter-productive to improving my flexibility, given that I already sit at a desk most of my day. Especially the hips will stay in the same angle for a prolonged time.

Edit: if OP is concerned about damaging their untrained musculoskeletal system, then swimming is a low risk activity to get started with sports.

As a user of wien.gv.at I want to thank you for your work. It's great to use a website that puts HTML first, rather than a mess of Javascript to render what essentially is just text.

I can't offer an alternative, but given that you used MoinMoin for years, you could also look into porting MoinMoin to python 3? Most likely you will learn enough about its codebase to add the features you wanted in 2018.

If the upstream project is dying, you might not only do yourself but others a favor by reviving its codebase.

Austria is one of the countries listed in the article, and it refers to an Austrian newspaper which reports that police plans to use facial recognition starting late December 2019 (https://futurezone.at/netzpolitik/das-kann-die-gesichtserken...).

On a tangent, the Austrian constitutional court of justice just today ruled that security forces are not allowed to use traffic camera data beyond using it to enforce traffic laws. They also forbid police to install hidden malware on people's phones ("Bundestrojaner"): https://www.vfgh.gv.at/medien/Kfz-Kennzeichenerfassung_und__...

While the use of facial recognition might not be a good thing in any case, it looks to me as if currently police is limited only to use it to retrospectively investigate serious crimes ("schwere Straftat").

The 1€ GmBH isn't available in all (most?) European countries. I know that Germany introduced them a couple of years ago. It's great if you live in the country where you register the GmbH, but it can get lots of tax paper work quickly when your country of residence differs from the country where your company is registered.
