US Abrams tanks failing in Ukraine as Russia mocks them as ‘empty tin cans’
  • currently being tested

    They've been "testing" it for more than a decade at this point and even if Russia is able to actually bring the T-14 into service, they won't be able to produce any significant number of them for the same reason their tank corps isn't using many T-90M right now.

    pure garbage

    Go look up Operation Desert Storm and rethink what you wrote there.

    If there's anything here that's garbage, it's your notions about tank design.

  • Using any DE be like:
  • It really depends on what you want. My experience with Gnome extensions has been rather frustrating. For example, finding a working and maintained extension for app indicators is a pain - and you have to do it again for each new release when inevitably the extension is no longer updated.

  • Massive explosion rocks SpaceX Texas facility, Starship engine in flames
  • ...what? SpaceX is years behind schedule for delivering crewed space flight to NASA. US tax payers have had to cough up billions of dollars for seats on Russian Soyuz spacecraft to at least be able to get to space somehow in the meantime.

    Iterating and failing is okay, but SpaceX has neither been faster nor cheaper in doing so than NASA's original moon landing program.

  • Nextcloud Hub 8 is now available
  • I wouldn't call criticism of their strategic focus "shitting on" Nextcloud. It obviously still does a lot of things right or at least right enough to be useful and relevant to many people, or else we wouldn't be discussing it. But it has its issues and many of them have been unadressed for a long time, so why shouldn't people voice their displeasure with that?

  • How private and secure is Backblaze B2?
  • +1 for restic. I've been using it for four years now and have never encountered an issue, including during my yearly restore practice run.

    As far as B2 bucket encryption is concerned, I wouldn't trust it as far as I can throw it. Quite honestly, it could just be a fancy checkbox on their website without any actual encryption, and we wouldn't be able to tell. Either way, a compromise of Backblaze would put your data at risk.

  • GNU Taler v0.9.4 released
  • The link doesn't explain what Taler is, you then also have to click through to the home page. How hard can it be to add literally a single sentence like

    Taler is a payment system that makes privacy-friendly online transactions fast and easy.

  • immich update has breaking changes
  • There are quite a few mature projects in 0.x that would cause a LOT of pain if they actually applied semver

    Depending on how one defines the "initial development" phase, those projects are actually conforming to semver spec:

    Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.
