Uptime Kuma is in no way comparable to what Datadog offers. The best FOSS alternative would be the whole Prometheus/Granada/Thanos/Loki/etc stack, and that would require at least a whole volunteer just to set up and administer.

There’s nothing wrong with DD, they’re a staple in the cloud industry and are absolutely trustworthy.

Isn’t face recognition just going to be inherently rly less reliable on darker skinned people? Their features would certainly have less contrast on darker skin, no?

Drop was awesome for custom keyboards, cool audiophile shit, and just random bespoke cool shit

So absolutely no overlap with Corsair. I don’t like this at all.

The fucked up part isn’t that AI work is replacing human work, it’s that we’re at a place as a society where this is a problem.

More automation and less humans working should be a good thing, not something to fear.

Meh, I pay for YouTube Premium since it’s included in YouTube Music, and I feel good knowing that creators I watch get more from me than they would if I enabled ads just on their channels.

I’m on Kubernetes with ArgoCD gitops.

I use sealedsecrets, so all my secrets are in git encrypted. The encryption key is in my keepass vault.

This meme is fucking amazing and I hate that I can’t share it with my normies friends

I swear sometimes it feels like capitalism is the boogeyman behind everything with some people.

This has nothing to do with late stage capitalism and everything to do with how cheap compute is becoming. Fact is that it’s just much more convenient to have everything in a managed cloud. You don’t need to manage your own servers, take care of maintenance, upgrades, etc. This removes a fuckton of overhead from your organization.

I’ve been part of on prem to cloud transitions at 3 different companies, and I saw the benefits firsthand. You can replace entire departments, and the contract your signing means you’re protected against pretty much any fuckup from the provider’s side.

Not to mention, I guarantee Microsoft’s cloud is more secure than 99.9% of the server rooms it replaced.

You think I remember shit about differential equations or calc 3?

One of these days, I plan to build up a neat blog with some static site generator like Nikola. Or maybe host documentation about everything I do with bookstack or wiki.js.

For now, it just redirects to a rickroll.

What I meant was that during my debating years here in Canada, I didn’t see that much “stage performances” or “rhetorical tricks.”

I did 4 years of Canadian National Debate Format and 3 years of British Parliamentary debate, and is was overall a very pleasant experience.

I did debate club in highschool and early college, but it was parliamentary style debate. I didn’t observe that much bullshit, so I’m guessing the US debate style is different

I realized that when I look for something, I have a precise mental image of what I’m looking for. If the real object doesn’t match my mental image, it may as well not exist.

Case in point, my girlfriend asked me to get her allergy meds. I was looking for a box with blister packs, they were in a bottle. I literally moved the bottle aside while looking, before telling her that I can’t find them

My parents’ go-to is that everyone was freaking out about an incoming ice age in the 60s (they weren’t), and thus climate experts are all completely clueless and have no clue what they’re talking about.

And they wonder why I visit less than before.

Fuckin spicy

There is no good answer to this question, because everyone has their own scale of what they consider harmful.

I think this is a fundamental problem with centralized social media a la Reddit, Twitter, Threads, etc. You’re forcing countless different communities with different values and beliefs to share a common space, moderated by people with their own set of values. Of course there will be friction and problems. No matter what you do, there will be groups that feel like they’re being censored, and other groups that feel like they’re being attacked.

Every topic could be considered “harmful” to someone, somewhere on this planet.

Like someone else mentioned, content involving alcohol could be harmful to alcoholics. Content involving drugs could be harmful to addicts. Content discussing SA/Rape could be harmful to survivors.

Discussions on controversial topics will always be harmful to someone. Just a few posts up from this one was a discussion about Quran burning. That’s harmful to devout and fundamentalist muslims, should that be banned?

Then let’s not even get into the subject of humour. What one person considers banter could be considered harmful by another. Ironic communities suddenly become harmful as soon as the irony is lost on a single person (RIP 2balkan4u).

Harmful means something different to everyone. Trying to apply a blanket definition to it will just stifle all discussion, or turn your community into a pure hugbox.

Yup! I currently use it to backup my homelab configs encrypted to google drive, I would love to switch it over to proton drive instead.
