This is great until your job outgrows a single computer or you want to have redundancy. Also, chains of bash tools don’t have the best error management when something chokes in one of the middle steps in the pipe. You can still leverage simple bash tools for a lot of the under the hood stuff, but you start needing something more to act as the glue petty quickly when you scale. KISS should still apply.

He’s already started with the rants against the network to create the excuse for him fucking this up. Everything that doesn’t go his way is always someone else’s fault. Most toddlers are more mature and accountable.

Forget about the content. If any company spam text/emails me about any political bullshit I’ll ban/boycott them just for wasting my fucking time. Fuck spammers.

The board is about 2 feet shorter in cold weather.

The classic 2nd grade playground bully argument:

“I’m Rubber, you’re glue. Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you”

Seems like your edge server is acting as a proxy for a media server on some other host on your LAN.

You want to make sure that the media server software is setup securely, patched, and properly isolated from anything else in LAN should that become compromised. Proxy closes off a lot of attack vectors but not application vulnerabilities. The Lastpass hack happened because of some vulnerability in an employees home plex server.

What do you think will be the first fast food franchise on Mars?

My guess is Subway. Don’t need to cook anything and all of the ingredients already have enough preservatives to make the journey.

I’m jealous. We haven’t had an actual computer store around here since Compusa went under decades ago.

For commodity online services, you are lucky that people even give you their email address. The number of people who provide anything more is extremely low. OP is freaking out that they are emailing. If they called him on the phone, he would lose his shit.

The terms of service explicitly state that any communications and legal notices about the services will be delivered via the email address that must be verified at sign up. It is not unreasonable to ask customers to provide a valid way to send them service related messages.

Google isn’t going to call you or send you old-school paper mail when they discontinue a service. Even if they did, 99% of people would think that it was a scam.

All that being said, we will always scream test things like EOL of a service just to catch anyone who missed the communications.

If they kill the Christian Edition, it will be back in a few days.

Snickers - With all of these other problems, you’ll barely notice the diabetes.

Not sarcastic. I work for a provider, and we warn people of service changes a bunch of times over a period of months.

Despite this, you will still get a bunch of people complaining that they were never told, we surprised them with it at the last minute, etc.

A change that deletes customer data brings in legal as well. If one of these people tries to sue for losing their data you want to be able to show that you provided plenty of notice and warning.

Companies will often “scream test” a data loss change. Meaning you turn it off, but don’t really delete right away to see who screams that their data is gone. Anyone screaming gets some short time period to recover the data.

Dear advertisers. Nobody saw this, and we have the evidence of us stealing your money to prove it.

Mutany on the AI seas!

Fiction is fiction.

In real life, stalking the victim for months, sniper shots, or anything that involves any sort of sofisticiation or team of people is asking to get caught.

KISS principle. A successful hit would be as simple as possible, happen fast with no prior interaction, and involve as few people as possible.

The only time that a corporation will take action is when it impacts profits.

If the NAZIs drive more profits than they lose, they will stay. It’s as simple as that.

Any corporate social conscience is just a show. Post some rainbows and say that shutting down NAZI is too difficult, but don’t do anything that might reduce the profits that the hate controversies create.

Non-profit platforms like Lemmy can do what is right vs what is profitable

+1 for nano. I just need to change two parameters in a config file, not join a religion.

With the “every accusation is a confession” rule coming true over and over again, my money is on the laptop actually containing incriminating stuff on Rudy.

Chinese cakes, desserts, etc use less sugar and are generally more bland than western recipes. It is a matter of different cultures having different tastes.

Diverse routes.

If all of your connections go through a single conduit/path, you have a single point of failure, just waiting to take out everything.
