    That doesn't matter as much as you may think.

    Of course, the people are having a copy of my mails. But when somebody searches my mails at my provider, they have everything concerning me. When they need to search the recipient/sender mailboxes, they have to search hundreds of mailboxes. And they need to know, whom to search. Without a copy of the mail in my mailbox or addressbook (online) its hard to know.

    It's not like opera invented it. There was an IE addon (i am not sure if inofficial), which added the really oldschool tabs from win95 (think of excel / libreoffice table tabs) in the win98 days .

    my major problem was the fsck fucking up filesystems.

    with (old?) reiserfs(tools):
    create a loop device on reiserfs, format it with reiserfs, create some files in it. Then run reiserfsck on the partition filesystem and see how it integrates the files from the loop-file into the main FS.

    on a cloud system you may reduce the services, until you mostly have left a rc.local. Maybe you can even use init=/your/program, see docker which does something quite similiar with LXC.

    The card is broken, so you cannot recover it. The card is down the drain, so they do not know it was there, when they are interrogating you. When they find it afterwards ... no problem, you do not know about it.

  12. Re:Why do you like KDE? on KDE Turns 19 · · Score: 1

    1) KIO
    Use sftp://yourserver/yourfile EVERYWHERE. kwrite, kate, calligra, kolourpaint ... the programmer does not need to know about the cool kio-slaves, he just loads an input stream. kdelibs do the rest
    2) KParts
    reusable components. KDEs PIM-Suite is just a wrapper about the kparts of kmail, korganizer, ...
    3) Everything's integrated. Everything works with each other inside the ecosystem, not like other desktops, which choose programs from a lot of environments. This starts at the same look everywhere, goes over universal copy&paste (good luck copy&pasting more than text between different toolkits. Today better than some time ago), to stuff like kio, mentioned above.
    4) scriptable. Nowadays dbus, but before with dcop already fully scriptable applications. want to change the volume, the wallpaper or just quit an application? send a dcop/dbus signal.

    This list goes on, but it boils down to: Some people really thought about things and built a framework to do the things properly. Then they built a big base of programs using these frameworks.

    No, i do not. You're constructing it.

    Your argument boils down to: "I just ignore laws, i see as unjust".
    There is a point, where you start to do so. IF you live in a dictatorship.

    But as long as you live in a democracy, you have the option to change laws. And if you do not like the law, you do not ignore it, but change it.

  15. Re:The US needs a serious spanking on EU May Forbid the Transfer of Personal Data To the US · · Score: 1

    I think you did not understand that law.

    Default case: It is illegal to store data outside of the EU.
    Safe harbour: We acknowledge, that certain companies ARE allowed to store their data in the US, because they can guarantee for the data safety with respect to privacy.
    Now: We must assume, that data in the US is not even safe, when its there according to the safe harbour treaty, because we know the NSA does not care about treaties.

    So, the point is, nobody has to store data in the US. And nobody is allowed to do so. Except for safe harbour. Which is now being challenged. Finally.

    if you're doing free development, you're paying already with time and ressources (i.e. power, maybe buying some new pc from time to time), and then the appstore comes and tells you "oh and i want some money from you, too". This needs really passion to pay for providing something for free. I know, many people do this, but i do not really see the point in paying big companies for this. I did some android apps and you can download them and install as APK. One is even in F-Droid.

    Yeah, docker creates a layer and then never changes it. With LXC backend, it uses aufs to stack them.
    I still prefer using bare LXC containers. There i know what i have and do not trust any prebuilt stuff. And when i start with creating a baseimage (debootstrap for ubuntu/debian), i just do the same as a "lxc-create -t debian" does.
    But maybe i am oldschool ;).

    I just use it with rootfs-folder. Using a btrfs-volume may add some stuff.
