You might also find the Python library pandas useful. Its “DataFrames” can mirror your excel data 1:1 and you have convenience methods like to_excel(). Easy to combine with numpy for performant matrix math.

XLSX just becomes a container for storing/sharing your data, and while Python is used for analysis. I would use matplotlib for plotting rather than embedding in the sheet.

If I’m doing anything substantial, calculation-wise, I use openpyxl.

Agreed. I really tried to like Libre/OpenOffice over the years but it never felt right. OnlyOffice really hits the spot for me.

I don’t use Windows much any more but I was happy with the discounted student version of Office 2016, afaik the last perpetual license.

I find Lemmy is better with fewer users just like Reddit used to be.

I kinda miss a few subs but they’ve been replaced by new things I discovered here.

The websites can coexist and users can do as we please.

It’s a bit more barebones but I really like BoxySVG

I don’t feel like I know what I’m doing but I do feel like an adult. The two are a bit separate in my head.

This is why I only work 32h and take Fridays off.

I don’t know about Adobe but I think it’s true for some software.

My previous employer (~30 person company) got in trouble for a Fusion360 file that was sent to a customer after being edited by an intern’s pirated copy. Employees and interns typically used a different licensed CAD software.

I think the pirated file being opened at a larger company tipped them off, but I don’t know how they ultimately tracked us down.

That being said, I personally wouldn’t want the stress of using pirated software, let alone pirated assets in a professional setting.

Where are the files ultimately hosted and who is paying for the bandwidth?

How do the servers avoid being taken down?

It’s basic, but rsync is a reliable changes-only solution. You can do push or pull on a cronjob.

Ports are probed and scanned constantly so a random port doesn’t make so much difference. I would use a strict firewall with the server IP whitelisted.

+1 for Ansible Vault

Containers have fixed host names already, why do you need static IPs on the internal network?

I guess if you were an image host running a thumbnailing service or something 🤔

Why would you use k8s for image hosting?

I use bucket storage from my cloud provider with a subdomain. With this kind of setup you can get access control and a CDN out of the box.

Keep in mind that you are also storing metadata for the post (i.e. creation time), relations (i.e. which used posted) and an index.

Might not be much now but these things really add up over the years.

The first open source contribution I made was to caddy!

I’m a simple man with a pi4 for my docker containers, one switch, so not much compared to my PC.

Would probably get a second pi4 if I need more resources.

The data that you entered into lemmy is stored: username, password, email (optionally), posts, comments, etc. Assume instances keep logs of all the API requests they get from any given IP. This is the case with nearly every website.

If you don’t provide email and lurk then I don’t see much of a concern. You can always use a VPN if you want more anonymity.

Who would want to be in a government with Rutte…
