I would do option A, but instead of just not using the free internet, I would use it for everything else not needing server services. So like streaming or general browsing.
Just leaving the Google fiber as a dedicated pipe for all my self hosted services
You can do this kind of split with pfSense easily
Nah,
Buck Strickland would get Hank to go along with it (maybe even enthusiastically) for the initial "Good" stages where they try to make propane delivery far better and more streamlined for customers blah blah blah. Buck would hide/skip over the "Taking investment money, while not making any profit" parts
Eventually Hank would start getting a few questions popping up in his head when he starts realizing the propane is being sold cheap, too cheap. He'd go to Buck and Buck would be able to shift Hank away.
Then the enshittification stage hits and Hank realizes what's going on, after a while of "Bucks got this" he'll get infuriated when Bobby shows him online comments from people complaining of the now crappy service. He goes to confront Buck, only to find him drunk AF at a stripper club and not giving AF because he's gonna be rich.
Meanwhile Peggy, infuriated at these online comments from people, makes Bobby show her how to get one of "these new social applications" and proceeds to defend her husband online, while discovering that she finds it addictively fun.
Hank will try to confront him again the next day, only to find Buck freaking TF out because things aren't working out like he thought and beg Hank to fix things like usual.
Hank sits down and cranks out a solid and reasonable plan for profitability, makes Buck pay back the investors to take back control and restores things back to profitable normalcy. When he gets back home after, he finds Peggy stuck on her phone desperately fighting against a storm of trolls, he just takes the phone and turns it off and carries her to bed
Fin.
I am just shocked, SHOCKED I say. Well, not that shocked.
When passing or storing data in code you usually have to specify what type of data is it. An int is an integer, so numbers, there's also boolean (true/false) and many others. There's also string which is just characters of any kind (for the most part) which pretty much makes it a catch-all, since numbers can be a string along with letters and special characters.
But to use a number as a number after it's been received as a string it has to be converted to an int, which means extra code, more effort, more failure points etc etc.
"if that guy ever comes back in the building I'll quit"
You can't just leave a story like that lol, did "sr dev" come back into the building? Did the other dev follow through on his threat? So many questions
The stupid part is they don't stop their websites from working on desktops when they detect it's being accessed with an administrative account.
If it was such a useful and important feature then why don't they all do it? In fact it seems it's mostly small time banks that do this. Most of the major ones I've used don't seem to care at all to even attempt to detect it (Capital One, BofA) or if they do, they just display an easily dismissible warning (USAA)
This tells me that this "important security feature" is just very low hanging fruit for smaller banks to pick so they can say they have good security with minimal investment. It's about as useful as that "unable to pick your own username" security thing I mentioned (which also seems to be only a smaller bank thing)
Not really, banks are simultaneously really smart and really stupid about security. They do incredibly annoying things that don't do anything or are negligible security wise all the time
Some bank apps won't work if they detect your phone is rooted for "security" when root just gives you the ability to grant administrative access to apps. And yet this is the default way desktops/laptops operate.
Some banks refuse to let you pick your own username and instead assigns you a number that's sometimes random and sometimes just your primary account number. Why? "Security" and just for even more "security" you have to wait for them to send you that info and a pin through snail mail
Idk, I don't think an unpaid internship can be considered slavery since you can voluntarily sign up for and quit it at any time.
Prison labor OTOH....
Right, just checked their website and a maxed 15 pro max is 1600$ lol that's a lot for what you get
Buy a dual hose portable AC, that's what I did when I lived in an apartment that would get VERY hot no matter what. (Actually, to save some $$ I got a single hose and modified it to a dual hose, but depending on the specific model and the tolerances they built it to, it risks short cycling and possibly burn out)
They're still not nearly efficient as a window AC, but far far better than those single hose ones
If you can fit a window AC do that instead, if you are able to make modifications, a small mini split/heat pump system would do wonderfully. Though I have heard that they make mini splits that go through small windows rather then needing to drill through the wall, so that might be an option too.
The other tips and tricks are nice, if you have exhausted all other AC options and simply can't have an AC at all (Which is mostly due to cost, dual hose portable ACs are pricey) but they really don't compare to an actual AC system.
Its not too late technically, you've listed all sorts of technical and logistical reasons, but it's far too late to a get a fresh face in front of people and expect them to vote for them.
That's the too late part, it's possible, but it would be a massive risk and very expensive as they'd need to be running ADs non stop everywhere to go from a "fresh face" to "votable face" with the general public in 4 months
Not to mention, you think the red states wouldn't do everything they can to stop having to change their ballots? I can see it now: "We're 4 months from the election, can't change it now ohhh welll!" ~Shithole Red states
I have a feeling lots of people are just now learning this lmao
Surprised it took this long for a TIL post lol
If you lack an IDE port on your motherboard
Bro, IDE has been dead for YEARS now, I'd be shocked if there was an IDE connector on any consumer computer made in the last 10 years (Industrial stuff can get weird)
A simple scan is fine, but to actually image a dying drive for recovery purposes, you should absolutely be doing a direct connection
Sprint was genuinely struggling.
They were on the verge of bankruptcy, really the 2 options were
-
Let T-Mobile (a distant third competitor to the big 2) buy them
-
Let sprint die, the big 2 buy large chucks of sprint anyways for pennies on the dollar post-bankruptcy and make their distance from T-Mobile even bigger.
If you need another reason, AT&T was very against the deal, so you KNOW what they think is bad is probably actually good for consumers
I've got to get to a damn gym right now
The legal/business end of things are still going to be largely under Furukawa.
Oh, so this guy?
Yup, he def looks like a no fun asshole
The tree is an adjoining neighbors backyard with large branches that come pretty close to my house (Though there is a sizable gap, if it comes down under the wrong wind direction...) and are actually touching another neighbors roof.
If it is unhealthy, is it recoverable? I'd rather not have them cut the whole thing down (it provides a lot of shade for my backyard (well, when it's healthy that is lmao)) Should I talk with them directly (I don't really know them, at all) or let the city know?
With Google Workspace cracking down on storage (Been using them for unlimited storage for years now) I was lucky to get a limit of 300TBs, but now I have to actually watch what gets stored lol
A good portion is uh "Linux ISOs", but the rest is very seldom (In many cases last access was years ago) accessed files that I think would be perfect for tape archival. Things like byte-to-byte drive images and old backups. I figure these would be a good candidate for tape and estimate this portion would be about 100TBs or more
But I've never done tape before, so I'm looking for some purchasing advice and such. I seen from some of my research that I should target picking up an LTO8 drive as it's compatible with LTO9 for when they come down in price.
And then it spiraled from there with discussions on library tape drives that are cheaper but need modifications and all sorts of things
I like to let Spotify leave my playlist and just have it play whatever so I can add new songs to my playlist.
But from time to time it'll play songs from some religious band (Usually Christian rock or Christian rap or something). The annoying part is it'll sound pretty good, until I start paying attention to the lyrics and then I realize it's a propaganda song lol and have to block the artist and move on.
Anybody know of a good list of religious artists on Spotify so I can write a script to block them ahead of time? (Or even better an existing FOSS project to do just that lol)
Hi everyone, looking for some NVR software to run a bunch of Cisco 6630 cameras I picked up (I know I know, but at <20$/camera....)
I looked at a few like ZoneMinder and Frigate but they all seem to only support basic HTTP auth and I spent a lot of time and effort getting Authentik working nice and smooth and dammit I want to use it for everything I can lol
Just "classic" LDAP is fine too, at least it's still using some part of my central authentication infra lmao
