The one who's gonna give it to ya.

I'm surprised that more people don't know not to FAFO involving Target. When a company has a lab that's sophisticated enough where LEOs ask for assistance on unrelated investigations, that's never a good sign.

Not really. The goal aside from probationary employees is to make the workforce miserable so they quit and starve itself in the process. RTOs (especially for those hired remotely, say states away), is one example.

“Hey the government is even more inefficient, let’s fire all the low performers.” - To the employee left doing 5x usual workload at 50% efficiency.

Kind of the way (at least for me), I still have a FB account since there are still old friends or relatives that would be impossible to reach otherwise. So it just sits there, on life-support, unless I need it.

Twitter has been slowly turning that way, and now Reddit will work the same for me, but it'll take a while.

I mean, look at all of the conspiracy theories swirling about now.

I've even ventured back to IRC for some things. This Reddit explosion has opened all sorts of old doors for me, it's very refreshing.

Agreed on the careful handling. With how partisan so many issues have been in the past few years, I can see this opening the door to more significant incidents in the future. Not to go "tin-foil-hat-civil-war," but I can see an example of Massachusetts, New York, and California doing XYZ while Texas, Georgia, and Florida have done ZYX that'll just add fuel to the fire.

Look at the diversity of states' positions after the overturn of Roe v Wade. It has eerily similar vibes as free and slave states did 160+ years ago. Ugh, at this point, it's time for me to meditate and read a book or something to relax.

Dynamic pricing inbound.

I was expecting this as the pic right off the bat but I'm just happy that it's here.

The charging for packets thing is the one thing that irks me nonstop especially the employees that stick by it. Unless they’re getting penalized, why do you have to gatekeep an extra BBQ sauce for 25 cents?

Sure, keep them behind the counter so people don’t grab 20 but asking for 1-2 extra shouldn’t require a surcharge or separate transaction.

I use this container, favonia/cloudflare-ddns, for Cloudflare and my domain.

A few articles I’ve seen in my feed show how more successful ones hire essentially VAs to respond to messages and chat for $18+ hour. It’s really quite amazing.

It comes down to where the copyright material is stored. The actual media hosted by torrent users is by the users and as we know over the last 15 years, that backfired entirely. So the easiest way is to take down the tracker.

The files for NZBs are hosted on newsgroups and while obfuscated, is much easier to automate DCMA notices to. Also, the good NZB sites (like private trackers), are tightly controlled so their files are rarely hit vs a lot of ones who have open signups.

Steak and eggs at a breakfast spot near me is $20 (plus tip). To add insult, it’s a “touristy” one, so while the food is good, they definitely up-charge a bit, say $1-2, on most things vs places off the beaten path.

So….why am I buying a ‘meal deal’ for $13-15 at McDonalds again? I might as well go and fork out a few more bucks for table service and better food at that price point.

Currently in the middle of a cutover between Flickr/Dropbox/iCloud mess to Photoprism. Immich, I'll keep in a test instance with a decent chunk of duplicate files but I'm not too keen on how it, along with others, disregards your file structure.

Goes against the spirit of self-hosting but for some stuff(Email, DNS, Passwords), I just SaaS it out. As much as I love my lab, nothing self-hosted in my prod environment is critical.

That’s the problem with using a VPN ‘everywhere’ as some people say. I quickly became sick of being captchaed to death, so only for torrenting now.

Been using Real-Debrid for years now on/off without any issues. There’s plenty of telegram channels that run them as well if you look.

Glad someone mentioned this already. It's a nice sandbox or test environment but nothing prod will ever run there.

Just checked and it's one of my many Starred repos. Thanks for the vouch though, kind of gives me a "short list" to review now.
