    @humptydumpty This is a big problem. I was shocked to see that as of 2026, only 4 out of 50 states had passed the "right to repair". But if Chinese AI companies can used "distillation" to create new AI models, then perhaps the same approach could be used to create a digital twin of a tractor and then replace proprietary software with open source software.

    @da5nsy said: I would propose changing the email notification defaults for new users of this forum. I would propose the opposite (ie no email notifications by default) I dislike getting email notifications I haven't explicitly asked for. Just one more thing to unsubscribe from/ change settings

    @timconsidine what would be the right things to do from your perspective? The recently published Warm Homes Plan and Local Power Plan are both pretty decent IMHO (although still LOTS of room for improvement and not enough details about implementation yet). IMHO there is much MUCH more political corruption related to keeping us all hooked on fossil fuels than there likely ever will be with renewables (which by their very natures are inherently more distributed).

    @humptydumpty Nope, not kidding. You can if you boycot the business packaging that includes the bloat. When I used to game long ago, the games were way more stable and space efficient from 3rd party repacks who ripped out all the bloat making it playable on older hardware too.

    @humptydumpty Googling this didn't return any definite answers other than this post and that generic AI response which suggests using N8N and webhooks to monitor such changes and then apply different labels. https://community.vikunja.io/t/auto-tagging-for-projects/1933

    @joseph The SEC in America very unfairly blocked Odysee's crypto token from progressing, which basically sunk their business plan. The Free Software protocol behind the Odysee frontend was LBRY. Paid development of the LBRY project was sunk when the SEC made their ruling. The idea was that you could run a local instance of LBRY and that would act as part of the CDN for the frontend (which didn't have to be Odysee.com). The thinking was people would use a LBRY client to view their content and the client in turn would also be serving the same content to other. If you liked the content/supported the channel, by leaving the video on your machine, you would help seed it/improve the CDN. It was a great idea. In practice, most people weren't interested in running the LBRY client. Even politically censored people that Odysee would help most didn't bother with it, amazingly. It is a pity. Odysee Inc. split off from the original project and still goes today. The SEC were most unfair.

    Roundcube regularly fixes security issues, see: https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md; a new version 1.7 is in the works Roundcube has been part of Nextcloud since 2023 (https://roundcube.net/news/2023/11/30/nextcloud-the-new-home-for-roundcube) and is part of their enterprise offering (https://nextcloud.com/roundcube/) Snappymail (fork of Rainloop) is the fastest of the bunch but effectively dead: https://github.com/the-djmaze/snappymail/issues/1911 That being said, all webmail clients are terrible IMHO as they usually neglect their search features (e.g. fulltext search is slow, you can’t search across folders; Cloudron‘s „virtuall all mail folder“ could help but throws off iOS mail) or have the plugin disease (essential features like MFA are outsourced to a plugin, see Roundcube). It‘s a sad state of affairs. For my personal mail, I either rely on desktop software / a mobile device or - if I need to have access to my mail the web when I’m not at home, I use Vivaldi Mail in a local Ubuntu Container to which I connect via Apache Guacamole.

    Did not yet have any contact with it so out of interest started doing some basic research. I came along this and found it interesting that it does support odoo community, but not the enterprise version. https://www.initos.com/en/tse-module/
