Problem with Apple is that they're trying very hard to control use of their stuff - so working with their stuff is very annoying. I only recently looked into it again as it was required for work projects where acquiring relevant hardware wasn't a problem - and even then it still is very annoying to manage, compared to Linux and even Windows.

I used to run cross compile setups for a bunch of open source projects 10-15 years ago, including MacOS. Back then they were using a gcc based toolchain, and thanks to GPL had to publish the base toolchain - yet they still tried very hard to break things between releases, which eventually got so bad that we decided to first drop MacOS builds, and later just completely drop MacOS support as you can't really do that without proper hardware access.

The situation has gotten a lot worse since LLVM - which Apple was pushing in big part as it allowed them to publish their SDKs under their licenses only. So nowadays you still can download their SDK - but using it on non-Apple-silicon is against their TOS.

Das bringt auch nichts gegen Wehatsapps Martkmacht - 1:1 bekommt man immer irgendwie hin. Es sind die Gruppenchats die geoeffnet werden muessten.

Don't want to go into too much details - from a high level perspective the Windows version integrates better into the overall system. In Rosetta, once you're in the emulation layer it can be rather complicated to execute native components from there. In Windows - with some exceptions - that's not a problem.

You do the usual network checks first, check if wireguard packages come in, check latest handshake. Depending on your network setup you might want to set a lower MTU than default, or enable PersistentKeepalive.

If none of that shows something useful you can enable debug logging via debugfs:

echo module wireguard +p > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

You'll then have additional messages in dmesg. You can switch it off by doing -p instead.

Das mit den Postfilialen muss arg beschoenigt sein.

Das Dorf aus dem ich komme hat seit den 90ern keine Filiale mehr, bei knapp unter 3000 Einwohnern. Die Nachbarstaedte haben keine vollwertigen Fillialen, nur Agenturen.

Die naechste richtige Filiale ist 15km weg in der Kreisstadt - wobei ich nicht weiss ob es die noch gibt, sollte auch durch eine Agentur ersetzt werden.

Briefzustellung ist auch je nach Region sehr variabel.

Auf dem Papier. Wer kann dient nicht - und das ist ziemlich einfach/guenstig. Offiziell ist man dann Reservist - hat aber noch nie ne Kaserne von Innen gesehen.

Viele Studenten kommen auch ganz offiziell drumrum - die gehen ein paar Wochenenden trinken und AK schiessen, und sind danach Unteroffiziere, gilt als abgeleisteter Wehrdienst. Ich hab mehrere davon in der Verwandtschaft, incl. meiner Frau.

They have, and in my experience it works nicer than Rosetta.

Windows 10 had it limited to 32bit binaries (but Windows 10 on ARM is generally very broken). Windows 11 can handle both 32 and 64bit emulation.

Windows for Arm is surprisingly useful, and especially the x86 emulation works pretty well - for what I've been doing so far more seamless than the emulation on MacOS. The bigger problem is that the tooling for utilizing it in a corporate environment is still pretty much missing. You can't get release images from Microsoft, you either go via insider builds, or download release builds via 3rd party sites which index and extract Microsofts artifacts - both not really acceptable. Additionally the tools for customising installations and creating unattended images don't work for Arm yet.

On top of that there's not much hardware available, and it tends to be overpriced. I got a bunch of HP notebooks quite cheaply, and recently was looking into getting one Thinkpad as they have a 32GB option (HP has 8 and 16, and 16 is not enough for serious use nowadays). Seems the 32GB option is not available in EU at all, and while they're running a sale in the US which makes a 32GB available for a decent price there here in the EU I'd pay significantly more for a lower spec variant.

Wieso hast du bisher Excel benutzt wenn es fuer deinen Zweck unbrauchbar war?

[–] aard@kyu.de 7 points 2 years ago

Du brauchst dafuer nicht wirklich Geld - in meiner Verwandtschaft in Russland gibt es sehr wenige die ich zur Mittelschicht zaehlen wuerde. Nicht zur Armee zu gehen - was sehr ueblich ist - ist deutlich teurer als jetzt sicherzustellen nicht einberufen zu werden.

Und im Gegensatz zu keinen Wehrdienst ableisten geht das auch durchaus komplett ohne Korruption.
