My company subscribed to Jetbrains Juno (or Juni?)
Not using it actually yet as I don’t like those tools much too, but it seems to be good according to colleagues. Not sure though if it uses a M$, GPT, Claude or Gemini model via API behind the scenes. But at least Jetbrains gets a cut, which is a CZ company.

If I use tools like those, I stick to Mistral.
You can use something like aider.chat with a Mistral API key, or directly use the CLI tool provided by them https://mistral.ai/news/devstral-2-vibe-cli.

I use the CLI from Mistral directly, works very well. But mostly use it only for generating test stubs and stuff like that.

Every month about 10-20 euro, but nothing recurring. I setup a list of my open source tools and I try to one at a time donate to each one. But its a slow process and feels too less, but I don’t want to do recurring ones, though I know it would be the best for the projects.

Poland did the right thing.

+1 for Mailbox. Turned a fan since I started using it seriously. Actually it can do much more as it replaced the whole Google Suite for me. Especially the office capabilities are quite astounding.

Yeah, they’ve been a long time, but only since Trump 2.0 made it crystal clear such that even politicians can now see it. So pls guys do something about it. You get a lot of taxpayer money, use it wisely ffs

And just like that, I sent out a request to my bank what’s keeping them from implementing it. Thx for sharing, super good that it shows that a competitor bank already announced the support, this way we can bully those into supporting it who haven’t announced it yet :)

Let’s Encrypt afaik just makes use of the ACME protocol. There are already ACME providers out there to be used. I know because I switched from Cloudflare SSL to one, and deliberately avoided using Let’sEncrypt instead.

Meh, Medium is really just a cash grabbing machine by now, used to be good, but now I’m happy I self-hosted my ghost-blog since the beginning.

Ghost also does offer Ghost Pro, which is a managed service from them. (They are headquartered in Singapore though)
However, otherwise there are a ton of third parties that offer to manage a ghost blog instance for you for little pay.

• https://ghost.org/pricing/
• https://getmidnight.com/
• https://www.magicpages.co/#pricing

Nevertheless, an article with good intentions, 90% is better than 0%.
I like it, and not everyone might like Ghost or existing alternatives, it’s just the one I settled on.

I completely switched my behaviour. Even my Halloween costume I bought from funidelia.at, a spanish company - can recommend, was nice quality and not overpriced. My supplements I buy from ESN and Rocka Nutrition (germany companies), and on the digital side I’m super happy (since already quite a while) with my mailbox.org (also german) subscription. Wouldn’t give it away any more now that I have it, it’s super neat and worth every penny.

And lemmy replaced reddit for me.

Going good :)

mailbox.org is a treasure, signed up for mail but it’s so much more useful than that. It’s a true replacement for me of what Google and Microsoft offers additionally to mail.

I have a tuxedo computers notebook for work and it’s great. They offer Intel as well as AMD. I also know about Slimbook but never owned one.

Great news, and great use of tax money.

Great news! It’s much more beneficial for all involved parties. Also, as the article mentions, moving to FOSS doesn’t mean you’re on your own. Just like Microsoft “Partners” help with integration and smooth operation, there are similar agencies offering the same services for FOSS solutions.

Not only that, but feedback and bugfixes to FOSS software indirectly benefits others too instead of some Microsoft manager. So, good use of tax money benefiting citizens and everyone else!

Use Linux Mint Xfce or Xubuntu.

Regular Linux Mint might run OK, but you’ll get more performance with a more resource cautious Desktop Environment like XFCE.

Both can be booted in live mode too to do the file backup first, and then you can proceed with the installation.

I have a similar Notebook, which I’ve setup with Xubuntu as my DIY Chromebook. It’s not a Chromebook of any kind, but I put Vivaldi Browser on Autostart and mostly use it for browsing, works great and still runs apps fine if really needed.

Immich is such a cool piece of software 🤩

“I don’t like migrants, good thing US gave me refugee status so I can migrate to the US” - lol

I like that you as user “regedit” are installing openSUSE - I like :-D

I also noticed them being quite slow on proposed changes. I resorted to using CoMaps and Mapy.com. CoMaps directly up streams to OpenStreetMap, which is cool as it benefits everyone, and Mapy.com is cool for real-time stuff. Sorry, might be off-topic

Austrian military first time being leader at something whatsoever 😂 Just joking, cool choice of them, hope they stick to it 👍
