I no doubt missed the crucial detail, but what was at the origin of the bus photo meme? :) (Something VirMach-related?)

Just to add to what @TheDP said, a few years ago, LET/LEB (but especially LEB) were in a neglected state (neglected by the owner(s)), which was the main motivation behind Ant's starting LES.

Rain is now an admin There are six mods, but Pie seems to be the most active/visible

There may be other factors at play. (I'm speaking in general, not of @Jord in particular.) One factor may simply be a kind of inertia: one you become a moderator, you stay a moderator, unless you have a strong reason for resigning. What counts as a strong reason for resigning will vary from person to person, but there also…

It's not so complicated. :) There's educational value in trying to convey some of the complexities of history. :) You're right that a fork of a fork is still a fork, but a fork of a fork of X isn't necessarily a fork of X. :) To use your example, Linux Mint is a fork because it's a fork of a fork (= Ubuntu), but Linux Mint…

It all looks very questionable to me, but at least they offer StarOffice 6 and 7 for free (even though they very probably don't have the right to do so). I would have thought that Oracle acquired StarOffice with the purchase of Sun. Anyway, it looks like an abandoned web site to me.

First of all, this thread is a dramatic overreaction by the OP. Second, the low-end provider in question very probably just had an unfortunate incident, so there's no need to name and shame the provider as though the provider systematically had such incidents.
-
If you don't mind, a few comments on your blog post: :) Strictly speaking, the open source version of StarOffice produced by Sun was called "OpenOffice.org". People often called it "OpenOffice", but its official name was "OpenOffice.org". LibreOffice was a fork of OpenOffice.org, not of StarOffice directly (which was…

In principle, I can kind of see why a portable LibreOffice -- a portable LibreOffice that runs in a browser -- might be attractive to some people in some circumstances. Nevertheless, given the sheer size and complexity of LibreOffice, I don't see why it would be attractive to run it in a browser, at least not in the…

Or perhaps: "too much, too late". This is a gem: In general, I'm very skeptical about the "do everything in a browser, assuming a good internet connection" trend, but I find the quoted statement very amusing: so it's supposed to be an advantage that you can download the whole bloody package every time that you want to use…

Perhaps a little dramatic to start the same thread both here and there about this revelation ... In any case, yes, most low-end providers won't be able to have better uptime than Hetzner Cloud over an extended period of time, but this is as expected. Nevertheless, there are a number of low-end providers that have pretty…

ImageMagick is an amazing command-line tool that can do all kinds of conversions, but I understood that you needed a GUI editing tool ("That might require adding additional uniformly colored background top and bottom to get to 400 x 400 [...]"). But on second thought, you may be able to do this with the ImageMagick command…

Go GIMP -- don't settle for anything less :)
-
My question ("No chance ...?") was partly rhetorical, though I imagined that GIMP would require the Linux subsystem to be activated. :) I also suspect that when @Not_Oles said "simple", he wasn't thinking of GIMP. (But "good" and "free" would apply.) :)

No chance of installing GIMP on a Chromebook? :)
