What kind of affiliation are you talking about?

This is super cool. Well done!

It’s amazing they didn’t implement something like that if it actually is soooooo costly.

No wonder they want an AGI if they have trouble thinking themselves.

That’s a tough question and I don’t really have am answer.

But if it’s work related I’d look into finding a Windows SysAdmin course somewhere and ask my employer to pay for it, since it helps with your work.

A cheaper alternative would be online courses. I found Udemy quite helpful in that regard.

Another possibility is Microsoft Learn, which offers basic to professional “Learning paths” you can do on your own time. There’s also a SysAdmin certification available if I recall correctly.

Edit, since I just reread your post: Microsoft Learn is almost completely about Azure. So you should really take a look at it.

Glad it worked out for you!

But it’s definitely one of the deadly sins of selfhosting.

Everyone that thinks self hosting E-Mail is easy, I urge you to run your own mailserver and see how many mails actually reach their targets.

Your mailserver won’t be trusted by anyone, which makes your email always be delivered as spam, if they don’t get blocked outright.

Otherwise this scoring system seems to be quite alright. Even though it could use some more detail and citing some sources for the numbers would be great.

Okay, I agree, but you can’t tell me some server rooms don’t look cool af.

Since no one mentioned it yet.

You can also add the executable to Steam as a non-steam game and in its settings you can configure Proton as compatibility tool.

That works quite well for some stuff.

Skywind sounds like something Thor would call his farts.

It’s visible but you can barely make out the pieces because of all the foliage.

Here’s a view of the woods board (it’s below the trees):

You can do the woods response, whereas both queens will choose the bears to go into the woods with them rather than any male pieces. This leaves black without any frontline but also sacrifices both queens.

Mods, pls ban xX_EvilSexyVampMommy_Xx she keeps stealing my diamonds

Oh no, she be poopin’ all over the NSFWCity Plaza II.

As I’ve said. Nextcloud is a great example of FOSS working out for a business, haha.

I guess we just have to agree to disagree then. Which is fine.

Your points are valid and thank you for detailing them for me. If I was in their shoes making others able to steal my IP, even if they’re not allowed due to licensing and having to deal with constant scrutiny of the source code are k.o.-criteria, which hinder the project and lead to potential revenue loss.

Well said.

Then that’s a moot point I guess, haha.

Still a great way to pay for Obsidian to support the development though.

It’s not just about syncing files. It’s also the fact I can edit stuff on my tablet and see the changes in almost real time on my laptop with Obsidian Sync. I believe most other solutions wouldn’t play nice with such a workflow.

That’s a bit naive imho. Remaining closed source is a form of IP protection and that’s really ok for what Obsidian is (a markdown editor). There’s just not any benefit for them other than appreciation from FOSS enthusiasts. Also maintaining an open source repository causes a higher workload and they lose a lot of freedom.

If privacy is your concern you don’t need source code anyway. It’s quite easy to sandbox an application like that and analyse network traffic and such. Also Obsidian is built using Electron. That means with enough motivation one could quite easily reverse engineer most of the app. Most of the applications behaviour can also be observed via the integrated dev console, which lets you view source code.

In short I don’t really see the need, unless I want to build or maintain it myself. And I think the negatives far outweigh the positives from the perspective of Obsidians team.
