It CAN be made quite sleek if configured well on good server hardware.

It does have a lot of issues, but a lot of it is stuff that causes more headaches for the admins than the users.

Which is to say, when run by a competent admin, it’s great.

That is an extremely generous reading of what they said, which completely ignores the context provided by their other comments.

all human beings that aren’t in africa are invasive species! we should kill all the humans who don’t live in africa!

This being the classic “if invasive species bad, then humans bad, kill us all I guess” that you often see people who don’t take the concept of invasive species seriously.

there are a lot of anti-cat nutcases out there who basically think cats should never be let outside ever

Again, this person is in favor of the status quo, and is under the false assumption that “feral” cats, and free roaming pet cats, are either a normal part of local ecosystems, or if not that, harmless. Which is why I think they need the distinction explained.

They make several statements where they openly admit to indifference where nature preservation is concerned.

I made no such claim.

The person I’m responding to was trying to equate the word “feral” with the word “wild” in order to argue that feral animal populations aren’t a problem, and one caused by humans.

They are, and it is.

You make this mistake as well when you write “Those cats are not immediately wild cats”.

They are not wild. They will never be wild. A feral animal cannot become “wild” except by the words casual definition. Feral animals are invasive species introduced by humans. Something which the word “feral” inherently includes by definition.

Whether they are first or later generation is a distinction without a difference.

Your point being?

Nature preservation isn’t about being virtuous or “good”.

Maintaining the greatest possible diversity is how you give a biosphere the best chance to continue adapting, instead of catastrophically collapsing. In case of a volcano erupton, for one.

As an a example, having more than one insect species that pollinates, means losing some of them won’t mean large-scale crop failures. But the fact that there aren’t infinite of them means we could conceivably, run out of them.

No-one who takes minimizing human impact on the biosphere seriusly, is doing it out of a mere desire to not be “evil”.

It’s critical simply in terms of our own self-preservation. The more species exist, the more ways there are for the biosphere to continue functioning.

Which we kind of need it to do in order to eat and breathe.

You need to look up what the word “feral” means.

They aren’t called “wild” cats. Because “wild” animals are where they are supposed to be. In an environment they evolved into.

“Feral” animals are where they aren’t supposed to be. Introduced by humans. As a result of domesticated animals being left to fend for themselves in an environment they didn’t evolve into.

Literally the first sentence on wikipedia, when looking up feral hogs: “A feral pig (Sus scrofa) is a domestic pig which has gone feral”.

Hm.

Haven’t seen that done.

Also DNS over HTTPS would defeat it, yes?

Nice. And you made sure to mention Anubis, but without it being a clickable link.

Perfect for many of the fun-policing prudes I’ve worked with. (They will never ever actually google a keyword themselves.)

Anubis is not out to make money, as such it has absolutely no obligation to try to appeal to corpos who would use it without contributing back to it.

Either your coworkers have to get over their hangups (have they not noticed that some of the best software that exists is made by furries?) or you’ll have to re-implement something yourselves.

Anubis is open source. You COULD fork it and modify it for your own purposes.

If your coworkers can’t separate what a piece of software is able to do from how it is branded, that’s their problem.

Because the process is designed to be a humiliation ritual that drowns you in desperation, so that you’ll work for less and still feel happy about “landing a job”.

They’ve even been caught yoinking emulator code.

Is mbin still a thing?

“It’s just a proof of concept guys, there are totally tons of good reasons to do this. We are definitely not just mashing sci-fi words together to scam investors.”

Of course.

Lots of cybercrime has been solved by law-enforcement by matching traffic logs based on timestamps and throughput.

Nextclouds shortcomings can be addressed. I have no idea how you’d even begin to get collabora to work sanely.

That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying Collaboras implementation is fundamentally unfit for use.

I used to host a CODE server.

It ran like shit, because it works by rendering the viewport on the remote system, not the client. Instead you essentially send every input to the server, wait for it to render the change, and then send that back to the client. Collabora is like using office software through vnc. Except all the time.

The responsiveness is atrocious. Especially if you try to use it over a less than ideal connection.

But it’s just fucking text data. It shouldn’t require the same infrastructure as remote gaming to be usable. It should be able to handle multiple seconds of latency, and just sync back up without the user ever noticing.

But it can’t. Because it RENDERS on the server. Which means the tiniest hiccup in the connection between server and user causes noticable issues.

How does that help me add collaborative office suite functionality to my nextcloud instance?

Collabora will never be good.

When I learned it’s “just” a libreoffice fork running on a remote server that is then screenshared to your browser…

The input latency and the graphical wierdness when resizing the viewport suddenly made sense.

I still want something better than onlyoffice for my nextcloud instance, but at least it is responsive.
