The Mechanically Perfect Lie
A loud noise outside my window brings back a memory from 2002. The night I truly could have died.

@stefano Close one. Glad you made! It had rear traction, right? A bugger to regain control if traction gets lost.
It's a bit like a certain subtle sound I'll never forget. A very large wood construction- and timber market center right before my window of my childrens bedroom completely went up into flames in the middle of the dead night when I was young.
Much later, when my wife and me were living together one night I woke up by that subtle sound again and knew right away something big lit up. It was the bikeshed of our neigbours. We were able to call the FD and alerted the neighbours, who were still asleep at that point, to get out.🤷♀️

@Tionisla wow, what a story! Yes, rear traction. I was used to that kind of traction, so I knew how to manage it. But that car's suspensions were totally depleted.

@Tionisla I've never seen a different kind of car dealers.

@pfefferle @mczachurski @liaizon Just wondering, are there any reason to not use https://schema.org/exifData ?

@petaqui hi Alexandro! Great question! So I'm using NextCloud as a replacement for WeTransfer and Dropbox, mostly to share documents with collaborators. My main photo library stays on a hard drive that is backed up in 3 different locations... and for super sensitive data I use ProtonDrive.
Still, I like not having to depend on U.S. tech platforms for work stuff

Il paese è pacificato e attende solo di accogliere gli investitori e i turisti. Parola del suo presidente reggente, Donald J. Trump 🤡

@_elena hi Elena! I'm digging deeper into self hosting (I've been doing that for more than 15 years on simple sites, image hosting, and some tools at a web server), but, I'm thinking of using more complex apps. The point, on why I'm writing to you 😃 aren't you afraid of the security side? Thousands of sites are being hacked daily, aren't you afraid of having some data exposed? For example, NextCloud doesn't encrypt your data if you don't use the E2EE function (probably you won't as they don't either recommend that). Thanks!
