A lot of the small cheap knockdowns aren’t metal, they are LDF or maybe MDF.

Ply is solid choice, I’d recommend an L bracket for the corners, 8 in total. For the casters get at least one locking, it’ll save some headache. I’d also get at least one vent or blank 1RU plate to make sure you’re lining up right between the rails, and to mount the rails with enough room top/bottom. A second set of rails for the back will let you double up on mounting front and back to make better use of the space if you’ve got low-depth devices to put in there.

Have fun!

Eh, early Dolby is where they made real progress.

Modern Dolby is more about licensing than actually doing anything for the industry. Not limited to the codec discussion.

I’m going to call this another vote for Debian

Ugh

Fuck Dolby. I mean fuck Snap too, but with this case, in specific, fuck Dolby.

What would your ultimate distro be like?

… Debian.

It drives me nuts.

At least provide a transcript somewhere. Thats all I ask.

RTFM long predates videos in the internet; at this point I’d actually call it inclusive of videos and guides.

I actually get pretty pissed off when the only guide for a feature beyond a couple lines of “here’s what this can do” with no elaboration is just a video. I don’t want a video. I want a damn manual with working examples.

But if its all there is, I’ll watch it before asking questions. The same should go for people who prefer videos, they should at least try the manual first, or looking at some guides or videos.

What’s frustrating for people (generically speaking) is when zero attempt is made in advance of posting questions, and from what I see, is the majority of “RTFM” responses.

Haven’t used that feature to be able to say how that interaction works, or used it with a tobii or anything unfortunately.

The only other thing I can think of to check out would be Jitsi, but I don’t think it does annotation. Iirc, they were adding in something for a laser pointer, but I don’t know where thats at in development or that it would be enough for you use.

The other person can use it still, it doesnt take away local control

Its not exactly call software, so its be a second app, but I think rustdesk supports a whiteboard thats transparent - so basically annotation.

Self admitted “Ronald Reagan fanatic”.

Campaigned against gay marriage.

Birther.

Claimed Obama would bring about “1000 years of darkness” for America.

Proudly supported Newt Gingrich for President. Then Trump. And then Trump again in 2020, and again in 2024.

Do you need more? There’s more.

Netanyahu supporter.

Islamaphobe.

When school shootings were on the rise, came out in support of Glock.

Spoke at a rally for Greg Abbott.

Spoke out against the Boy Scouts for allowing members who were gay.

Backed Roy Moore.

I think thats enough for now.

He was a hard right evangelical, with all the hateful trimmings that come with it, and he was active with his hate.

I very firmly disagree.

This is compliance in advance of laws that will do nothing to accomplish what they claim, will provide a means for corporations to absolve themselves of wrongdoing, provides an additional means of exposing PII unintentionally, and is an outright farce of an implementation.

The danger absolutely is how its used on the front end - and we can absolutely expect the most abusive approaches possible in that regard.

This is alarming to me because we’ve seen the same type of thing getting pushed over and over and over. Despite decades of experts showing how bad of an idea this is (tech, legal, and child development experts), seeing this still being pushed demonstrates the goal. “Protecting children” is the same bit of sprinkles on top that it always has been, and complying in advance with this is a mistake.

I’m not really interested in waiting for the abusive actions we are absolutely going to see. I’m shocked, however, at the number of people who think this is perfectly fine, where I would expect more people to know better.

Consider yourself lucky then.

I have absolutely met managers this dumb. I had a manager quote me in an email reply, with what was quoted in the same email chain and included with the other replies, then forward it (still including all the replies!) claiming that he “rescued” me from a client incident because I didnt reply.

With the reply from me just two emails below.

Yes, there are absolute idiots in management who would 100% reply with this.

Just a reminder that there is nothing related to anarchism with ancap. Its just feudalism with a libertarian delivery system.

Already merged.

Oof

A great domain name, too

(yes, that happened).

What was the site? With .af I bet it was a fun name

just that FOSS has problems unique to it that are rarely acknowledged.

None of the issues you’ve noted are unique to open source though.

All the FOSS offerings I can think of that are “too big to fail” have big corporate support

…

businesses don’t have that luxury. That’s why they use proprietary software.

Youre missing a few key things here.

• TONS of proprietary applications go years without work or effort
• TONS of proprietary applications/solutions get abandoned, leaving businesses and consumers to scramble for a solution.
• If the business relies on open source, they can contribute to that project.
• An open source solution also means continuity and the ability to fork when abandoned, proprietary solutions that are abandoned are just gone.

I wouldn’t put much agreement toward your argument for proprietary here, because I’ve seen (and had to deal with) proprietary solutions being abandoned with no workable solution available, especially as the current generation of proprietary solutions require a license server or other cloud-connected back end in order to work.

So when they get abandoned, its just over.

So no, this argument against open source for business has no merits IMO.
