1.) 100K is not much on the Web. Almost nothing compared to the other resources that people are used to share, nowadays.
2.) There “appears to be ...

[woff2/ttf] Round trip brotli compress & uncompress
What are the implications and cosiderations if I use a brotli tool to compress, then decompress a font file, first to WOFF2 , then back to ttf ?
My gained advantage is obvious. You just look at the files.
Licenses are unharmed by the proces AFAIS . Is there anything else that could prevent me ...

Challenge: Provide a way to convert TextMaker TMDX to reStructuredText.
My part of the endeavor is the presentation of a procedure for AbiWord:

Re: Procedure for completely uninstall FreeOffice 2024
Now that you know how to install and uninstall stuff,
you can also just go ahead and read the documentation. Lots of it.

Re: SQL Error 1040
While “tech” evokes technology, I would not have expected you to be here before 7 o'clock.
But you sure encounter less traffic at that hour on the Erlanger Straße.

SQL Error 1040
Good morning
Searching the forum, I get a lot of “Too Many Request” Errors upon loading a page in arbitrary locations and upon doing anything from search to opening an article, modifying user-settings to logging in. It says General Error, SQL Error and 1040.
JFYI.

Re: Google Drive
The comparison with the commercial version on
https://www.softmaker.com/en/discover-s ... comparison
does not mention Google Drive or anything “cloud”. I venture however, that FreeOffice is limited in this respect (and am happy with that).
