    It’s not just office, SH and many other parts of the German government have been slowly replacing the entire O365 suite with OpenDesk, which is an open source product based on Matrix, Jitsi, LibreOffice, and a few other tools.

    The goal is to have a fully integrated solution for calender, chat, calls, documents, cloud storage, etc.

    My employer is developing parts of that solution and we recently switched our internal communication over to it, and tbh, it’s working really well.

    Now is the perfect point in time to do it, with the GDPR ruling regarding O365 and Microsoft fumbling the migration between old teams and new teams.

    In timekeeping, there are so called stratums to describe how correct a clock is.

    Stratum 0 is a physical process, an inherent property of the universe. An atomic clock would be stratum 0.

    Stratum 1 is a clock defined based on a stratum 0 clock. For example, GPS clocks are usually stratum 1, so are timeservers at universities with atomic clocks.

    Stratum 2 is a clock defined based on a stratum 1 clock, for example, your router’s ntp server if it syncs its time based on gps or a university’s timeserver.

    So if we adopt this jargon for units:

    Meter is a stratum 1 unit, defined based on the stratum 0 properties of lightspeed and cesium resonance.

    Inch is a stratum 2 unit, defined based on the stratum 1 meter.
















  • Considering that reading source code can take a long time

    You’ll get faster over time, until reading code is faster than reading documentation, as code will always represent what’s truly happening, while docs are frequently outdated.

    In a language the user isn’t familiar with

    If you’re not that familiar with the language, it’s likely you won’t be contributing to the project. Open source projects usually to have quite limited resources, so they tend to optimize docs and dev UX for people who are likely to contribute.
