I can see they're certainly not a problem *for you* so I was just wondering how long have you been living in Cuba or North Korea or communist Poland exactly?

@Wetrix I work remotely a lot anyway so not much change, but now I don't need to go to the office *at all* which makes me super productive. I code a lot, read a lot, go for a run every day and do a lot of exercise. Plus excellent weather now in UK.

@CyberSocialist Missing from where exactly?

Can you explain how in your understanding a ban on leaving your country - as NK, Cuba and USSR did - has anything to do with social justice? How do you explain & justify this? You call yourself a socialist - is forcibly keeping people in a country part of your socialism?

I'm genuinely interested. I've read a lot of justifications for why there's nothing wrong with living at $20/month in 70's Poland from people like JP Sartre living in $2000/pm France.

@feld LOL if SARS-CoV-2 won't get you, then yet another C8 PFOA dump will

This is an interesting one indeed. I guess Py2 could be made a Py3 dialect... unless there were some fundamental syntactic changes that would make it impossible. I can think of "print x" vs "print(x)" but I'll leave it to people more competent on interpreter development :)

Lesson for future: schedule incompatible changes for a reasonable schedule, and just move on. If Python2 was scheduled in 2007 to go EOL in 2009, not only Python dev team would have twice the resources but every single distro that maintained parallel 2/3 packages for 13 years.

I don't remember when I rewrote all my project to Python 3 - perhaps a decade ago.

If you think you can run an application with no maintenance for decades... well, good luck.

If you're into decentralised finance and cryptocurrencies, this is an interesting discussion at MakerDAO community who governs a DAI stablecoin (=a cryptocurrency that is bound to $1) and also DST (=a DAI deposit that grows at a few % per year). There's nothing wrong or alarming here - I just find it very interesting how the community deals with a catastrophic event in the world of traditional finance, and subsequent catastrophic event in cryptocurrency.

@FuckOffGoogleZurich @ajz

Regarding STUN, that's the same problem as with HTTP 204 connectivity check - only few orgs (Google and Mozilla) maintain public instances of this service and you have to use *something* when you ship software.

With STUN I'm not aware of any public servers, so that's why they went for Google most likely.

As long as it's configurable I think it's OK.

There's a huge market for enterprise solutions like this. By keeping an open-source version you get the benefit of people testing it early, reporting bugs and submitting improvements. By having the enterprise part the open-source benefits by having paid and dedicated core development team. Quite frequent and mutually beneficial symbiosis, IMHO.

@sir having noticed too much concentration around GitHub a few years ago, I moved or started some projects on Bitbucket.

Now migrating some to sr.ht

Also experimented with git-ssb and dat protocol
