amaccuish··on Ideas on modernizing the open-source desktop
In the gnome file explorer there's 3 different menus, marked only by generic icons, and I always forget the one to open a new tab.
amaccuish··on What do Visa and Mastercard do? An intro to card networks
Well, in Germany the "girocard", the local card network, is the most popular form of payment. So I guess, citation needed?
amaccuish··on LibreOffice breaks download records after declaring it has no AI features
I do love LibreOffice, but who thought this colouring is a good idea? https://i.imgur.com/cUzW97S.png

If anyone else wants to be rid of it (courtesy of astra): Set NotebookbarColorTransparency to 255. This removes the colored tint while keeping the ribbon.

Go to Extras → Optionen → LibreOffice → Erweitert → Experteneinstellungen. Search for NotebookbarColorTransparency. Double-click the matching row under org.openoffice.Office.Common → Misc. Change 150 to 255. Confirm with OK, close the settings, and restart LibreOffice.

amaccuish··on As a Windows user, it's a surreal way to install a program
Before we I introduced an MDM at work, I can tell you, 80% of users were running apps from .dmgs from their desktop.

I'll leave it to the reader to decide if that means the process is "intuitive".

amaccuish··on Choosing a Public DNS Resolver
Shame there is no client subnet filter. I've had issues in the past with various websites when using resolvers that don't add that hint.
amaccuish··on Digital euro clears key hurdle as EU seeks to break free from U.S. credit cards
That's why i said "bank cash maahines", for want of a better word.
amaccuish··on Digital euro clears key hurdle as EU seeks to break free from U.S. credit cards
It is indeed ridiculous. In the UK all bank cash machines are free no matter which bank you're from. My Girocard charges me 7€ for out of house withdrawals.
amaccuish··on Your ePub Is fine
I think it was both. If you ever used Flash on an Android phone at the time, it was a very quick way to empty your battery and make your phone a nice heater.
amaccuish··on Dutch gov't will only allow European company to operate DigiD platform
> Some European countries right now have their currency printing and their passport printing outsourced to foreign nations.

Whilst I still agree with your premise that this is not wise, I should point out that, for example UK passports, whilst produced in Poland, are personalised in the UK. Not that that helps the UK case since the personalisation is done by Thales...

amaccuish··on Indoor Wi-Fi Roaming with OpenWRT
> You can stick to 802.11r only by... have all the APs on the same channel

Is that really true? We make sure all our APs are on different channels to prevent interference.

amaccuish··on Google Cloud customer wakes up to $18,000 bill despite $7 budget
Gemini was the fraudulent usage, OP doesn't indicate they actually use it.
amaccuish··on Notion leaks email addresses of all editors of any public page
https://anytype.io/ is the open-source CC of Notion AFAIK.
amaccuish··on Rescuing old printers with an in-browser Linux VM bridged to WebUSB over USB/IP
I dont understand what you're suggesting either given the whole point was to avoid having separate hw).

And if you're not going to spell it out due to your morals, don't comment.

amaccuish··on /e/OS is a complete, fully “deGoogled” mobile ecosystem
But can't relock the bootloader on a Pixel 9 since it is "community supported" :(
amaccuish··on Native FreeBSD Kerberos/LDAP with FreeIPA/IDM
It does, now running. Glad to be able to replace my Samba4 setup since we're now mostly Mac/Linux only.
amaccuish··on Native FreeBSD Kerberos/LDAP with FreeIPA/IDM
The FreeIPA documentation could be made a bit clearer, so many "obsolete" pages showing in search.

To my question, does anyone know if FreeIPA now supports integration with Samba including password auth for non domain members? Or is it still limited to Kerberos?

Jumpcloud is SaaS.
amaccuish··on GrapheneOS – Break Free from Google and Apple
Cough cough, Nationwide UK. I emailed them, they said they had no plans to make the Nationwide UK app available globally on the iOS App Store.
amaccuish··on GrapheneOS – Break Free from Google and Apple
Moved from the UK to Germany. My German card reader is even better, no manually entering the transaction details, I just scan a QR code from my laptop, and the card reader display shows the IBAN and amounts, before I confirm to get the code.
amaccuish··on Wero – Digital payment wallet, made in Europe
For me, linking the phone number was optional, I had to choose either phone and/or email.
amaccuish··on Wero – Digital payment wallet, made in Europe
Did you miss the whole part where op talks about using your physical card as an alternative?
amaccuish··on Wero – Digital payment wallet, made in Europe
My Volksbank app here in Germany just wants a locked boatloads and no root. Works fine with microg. It's the reason I will never move!

Though the Sparkasse is the same actually, unsure about the other german banks

amaccuish··on Europe's $24T Breakup with Visa and Mastercard Has Begun
> This would still rely on Visa/MasterCard allowing dual-branded credit cards for overseas transactions, which isn't a very common arrangement

False? Co-badged cards are used in Germany, were used in NL, are used in NZ/AUS, many more examples than just "Asia".
