I have been known to put high quality renders of my PDFs in word documents (image per page) to beat the file type validations.

Excellent plan if you ever need to apply to 2007.

Library built this way because it supposed to be flexible and provide ground for complex usecases.

It’s definitely that, and not the fact that it was written in the first half of the nineties when everyone and their mother was all in on OOP/OOD to the detriment of usability.

Rust is more like Esperanto isn’t it? It’s Latin, but regularized and with the rough edges sanded off.

Python is more like Spanish. A billion speakers in the world, and really easy to pick up a few phrases, but a small European minority still think they run it.

It means whatever you want it to mean.

“Liberal” arbitrarily changes meaning depending on who they want to dunk on today.

They are trolls. Ignore them.

Looks like they missed a very important one!

That’s highly dependent on the hardware. My router only has two ports.

Just to make sure you know this, routers are not switches. You might get some of them to sort behave like switches with careful configuration, but most of the time it’s asking for a lot of trouble.

why it’s so important that there be strong independent checks on the government and politicians, minority representation, multi-party rule, etc…

That kind of liberal propaganda is not appreciated here ;)

You have three routers? Why?

Throw 2 of them out and get actual switches.

In most first world countries this is illegal.

You mean like, with a cable? Eewwwww gross!

Most operating systems these days are just micro-kernels to run the actual operating system, your browser. Most users will be perfectly happy using whatever in most cases as long as you can get one of the major browsers on it.

If they have special requirements, then you need to figure them out first.

If they want to learn how to run their own stuff, go ahead and teach them.

Do you think sister here wants to learn how to run nextcloud?

I definitely think they should help their families out. Helping them select an alternative service is helping out.

Being on the hook for endless tech support while getting blamed for everything is not helping out. It’s also not healthy for your relationship with your sibling, and it’s not a good use of family holiday time.

A partner is different. You already share a lot of infra, and since you presumably spend a lot more time together it’s not likely to impact your relationship as much unless you go full Pat & Mat do IT.

This is my most heartfelt advice: do not do hosting for family members. You will get no end of trouble.

Find her a commercial service she can trust. Or throw up your hands and go “big tech, what can you do”. But do not, under any circumstance, run her IT.

But why?

Simply put, there aren’t a lot of us, we don’t like them, and we aren’t particularly nice people, even to people we don’t dislike a priori.

It seems like a poor business decision.

The fish is not the only one here that’s “dumb”.
