So, while I agree on that part, the maintainer of snorblite is one step from getting shut down by the feds due to radical actions and an alleged affiliation to a known csa distribution network. As soon as he’s brought in for questioning, all data tied to his machines will be deleted and we’ll have to rely on forks of the library from previous versions with outdated dependencies.

In that case, if they succeed, it’s no longer my concern

I’ve been saying this for years. Not only that but once legal and in the regular market, companies are held liable for any additives not clearly labeled. No cutting your heroin with fentanyl unless you label it as such (bonus points if you have to give ratios of each ingredient) but aren’t on the hook if someone goes against label usage.

This protects both the consumer and provider.

Similarly, we should fully legalize prostitution. Want to kill the sex trafficking problem? Legalize prostitution, allow the workers to unionize, get legal support, and other securities that the normal blue and white collar workers have.

The good old days of Azureus and Limewire

As long as the off-site isn’t the same location or method of access, that’s generally fine. Essentially, you want to make sure you have a way to get at the data no matter what happens.

Fire/damage on location: pull off-site such as online backup Internet down: pull hardware based backup

Contingency plans, essentially

3 backups: 2 different places/media on-site 1 off-site

Currently in an MSP. It’s all on the company culture as to if it’s shit or not. We’re fully wfh with no plans to move back to the office.

Overtime is never forced. If we have to work through lunch because all hell is breaking loose, we’re practically encouraged to leave an hour early unless the CEO is allowing ot and we want it. No pressure either direction.

If users are rude or generally hard to deal with, manager has our back in dealing with them.

Pay isn’t top dollar but there’s trade-offs

I can only hope that the anti solar groups are arguing in bad faith when they complain about how the sun works.

Either that or: they actually think that pro solar doesn’t understand this fact or one of the two groups doesn’t know how to pair solar with batteries.

Sometimes you need a hard copy

You’re very brave showing your wiring.

Just built a simple 3x3 macropad and I spent several hours trying to keep every last bit of the wiring clean and I still have a rats nest…

I wonder how much of that is because of how much they grew vs the production cycle as dictated by constantly feeding the yt algorithm.

The difference between putting out a video every day and putting out a video when it’s ready is a decision that each channel makes

If I want an actual review, I’ll trust Jeff Geerling, GN, Explaining computers, Craft computing, or ETA Prime.

If I want to watch someone do dumb tech stuff, I’m going for Linus, Dawid, …and red shirt Jeff Geerling. The difference is that the latter two go into it fully transparent that what they’re doing is purely for the “will it blend?” vibe and should not be taken too seriously.

Linus’ videos blur the line a little too much between legitimately educational and purely for the entertainment value in a way that could give people false impressions of either the tech or processes.

Portuguese is what happens when a Spaniard speaks French while hungover

Sequel has Nazi dinosaurs in the center of the earth*

How could you not point out Malcolm McDowell being his Malcom McDowell-ist in tank girl

That’s like mentioning the 2000s Dungeons and Dragons movie and not mentioning Jeremy Irons

Or mentioning the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie and not bringing up the goombas

… Which also fall in this category

I’m a simple man. Lost in Translation starts on a high note and doesn’t end

I believe you’ll find that it’s Ebony and Ivory. … Side by side in perfect harmony

That barrier to entry is no joke tho. I’m still trying to get myself to a point where I can confidently put my hat in the ring for infosec roles

It’s already been done on farm vehicles, why not cars

The good news is that funding is finally being given for it so advancement will happen
