His aren't. A pair of high-end massage guns so they can massage each other at the same time instead of taking turns. BowFlex adjustable dumbbells. Not a gadget, but a new Tesla Model S and charging port. There's an Amazon Echo Show in a few rooms...

I'm not saying that he shouldn't buy those things -- I'm saying he has a different mindset than I did/do, but I do believe that my mindset makes it easier to get by financially.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I was stuck in an infinite loop and had to reboot.

No, I'm not a bot. Check my post history.

I set up LinkWarden about a month ago for the first time and have been enjoying it. Thank you!

I do have some feature requests -- is GitHub the best place to submit those?

I'm not sure where you're getting your information.

I work there, have worked there for nearly three decades, and I can tell you that it's not the case.

(Also, it's just NCSA for trademark reasons, without 'the' in front)

It did get a lot of funding from the NSF in the early days, but the federal government didn't start pushing for public access to research done through grants and contracts until 2013. Before then it was only work done by federal agencies that was non copyrighted.

The National Science Foundation also didn't start funding Mosaic until 1994, which was after CGI had been released.

NCSA gets a lot of its funding from the private sector with partner programs, the University of Illinois, and the State of Illinois as well.

Which women? What are their voting records? What experience do they have? Can they work with the other party if they need to? Are they respected by foreign leaders?

If it's this election, are we sure putting them on the ticket will survive certain legal challenges?

Too many questions without enough answers.

Generally speaking though, no, I don't think it would happen. I would totally support it, but I think there are too many misogynists out there. On the other hand, I never thought there would be a Black president either.

I found the whole copyright thing at Wikipedia for this image pretty funny.

Even the simplest research shows that NCSA is a state-funded agency (through the University of Illinois system), not federal. If that image is in the public domain, it's not for the reason Wikipedia lists.

Here they're pushing the "must be within 60 miles from the office" trope; I bet they'd say to drive in if it's after hours.

Growing up we had two large mulberry trees in the yard, and every summer I was sent out daily to pick a bucket full of mulberries. My Mom made mulberry syrup, mulberry jam, mulberry clafouti, put them in fruit salad, and, of course, made mulberry cobbler.

This brings back memories. Thank you for sharing!

 

I guess I'm becoming a dinosaur, and now I don't know where to find out about new FOSS stuff being developed, when new releases are out, etc.

I used to get it all on USENET and mailing lists, and then later on sourceforge.net and freshmeat.net. Now I track some things on https://freshcode.club/, but I don't see much that's 'fresh'. Maybe new updates, but not too many new packages. sourceforge still exists, but it doesn't seem current.

If I know about a project I'll follow it on GitHub, but I'm looking for a place to find out about new things that I didn't know I wanted yet.

tl;dr: Where can I watch to see promising new FOSS software projects?

 

I started migrating my servers from Linode to Hetzner Cloud this month, but noticed that my quota only gave me ten instances.

I need many more, probably on the order of 25 right now and probably more later. I'd also like the ability to create test servers, etc.

I asked for an increase with all of that in mind, and Hetzner replied:

"As we try to protect our resources we are raising limits step by step and on the actuall [sic] requirement. Please tell us your currently needed limit."

I don't understand. Does Hetzner not have enough servers to accommodate me? Wouldn't knowing the size of the server be relevant if it's an actual resource question?

I manage a very large OpenStack cluster for my day job and we just give people what they pay for. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this unless Hetzner might not be able to give me what I ultimately want to pay for, and if that's the case, I wonder if they're the right solution for me after all.

It also makes me worry about cloud elasticity.

Does anyone have any insights that can help me understand why keeping a low limit matters?
