Which you also do… if we’re really being honest about it.


So, reading the documentation in the [repo](https://gitlab.opencode.de/bmi/opendesk/deployment/opendesk/...) it’s immediately made clear that you should use the Enterprise Edition for production use. (Since the German state is behind this, why not focus on totally free software for production use?)

But what really surprised me are statements like this in the README:

” Nextcloud Enterprise: openDesk uses the Nextcloud Enterprise to the build Nextcloud container image for oD EE. The Nextcloud EE codebase might contain EE exclusive (longterm support) security patches, plus the Guard app, that is not publicly available, while it is AGPL-3.0 licensed.

And

COOL Controller container image and Helm chart: Source code and chart are using Mozilla Public License Version 2.0, but the source code is not public. It is provided to customers upon request. ”

This, according with other paragraphs describing percentages of free and non-free code in certain components really makes me wonder…


It's a misconception that (A)GPL source code should be publicly available.

GPL family mandates source code access to people who can access to the software itself. So as long as ICC gets the source code of the NextCloud EE and the Guard app, the GPL is fulfilled.

This is how RedHat operates, and is not a violation of GPL.

Also, this is how you can build a business around GPL. You only have to provide source code to people who buys your software, or you can sell support to it.

Another example: Rock Solid curl [0].

[0]: https://rock-solid.curl.dev/


But presumably, under the GPL, someone who obtained the source code, perhaps by paying for it, can freely publish that source code, and non-disclosure agreements are void.


Yes. See Rocky Linux.


After seeing this example, I think this is the elevator pitch: ”We take your personal highlights and make them as generic and impersonal as possible.”


Like this? https://www.schweizerbauer.ch/markt-preise/marktmeldungen/la...

(Sorry, article is in german, it’s about laser-engraved fruits and vegetables. I’ve seen a few in the stores around here… (Switzerland))


Now I’m one of the happy 10000!

I'm also one of them... actually not, I'm not "in US" :)

It’s like when you think of something that will never exist, because it is just too absurd. However, this guy not only has an even more absurd idea, he also brings it into existence and shows why it’s a great idea to build a sustainable future!

Wait until you encounter his executable research paper about executable research papers.

The NAND gates video is probably the closest humanity will ever get to perfection though.


…and a microphone?


Yes. IIRC there were some eavesdropping cases where sound was read from a fairly remote glass pane.

How about through a glass pane, off of a bag of chips?


Oh, cool. That's a decade ago, though - technology must have progressed, surely.


The art(?) collective MSCHF has come up with an interesting voting game, apparently based on an Athenian custom.

From the announcement:

——

In ancient Athenian ostracism, citizens would come together once a year and vote to banish one person from the city, on pain of death, for the next 10 years.

In MSCHF Plays Venmo, the sole winner of the "popular vote" wins the prize pool.

Those who receive the "ostracism vote" get banned from the game for life.

——

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.


I thought about buying in, just to be in the fray and see how it goes. But I suspect it will either suck up all my time for a stretch or I will miss a bunch of votes and suddenly realize I'm off the island.

Seems brilliant and sinister. The honey pot is over $108k now...


Sounds really interesting! Just one question, do you hire non-us remote workers? (EU time zone)


> And try to not let my groin fall asleep.

I was "forced" into biking a few years ago (had an injury that prevented running) and had the same problem with the groin. I thought it was a natural thing with biking, but it can actually be quite bad for you in the long run, and it's very fixable! Sitting position and saddle makes a huge difference. Ofc position is the cheaper thing to fix, but saddle is easier.

Go to a bike shop and explain the problem and they'll help you find a saddle that fits you, don't go on with getting your groin numbed.


Yes, it could be a fit issue - ie, seat height is wrong, need more padding in your clothing, etc.
