Exemployees of a company, what was your "fuck this shit I'm out moment"?
The entire pandemic, our security operations team got constant commendations for how rapidly we scaled up, and they touted the increased productivity we had WFH. I was officially reclassified as a remote worker at the start of Covid.
Then we got a new manager after 2 years who decided everyone needed to RTO "as needed", then monthly, then weekly.
My disabilities and medication prevents me from safely operating a vehicle to commute and my respiratory disability puts me at an extremely high risk of complications from Covid (was bedrested for 3 days from Covid, took almost a month to mostly recover, after multiple booster shots).
Tried to get accommodation, which I had never had to formally get before. Was surprisingly easy to get from HR, but my manager on the other hand made my life hell.
My manager, though, pulled out all the stops.
Jokes on them, though, I left with a very short notice, little to no documentation on key projects that I was the sole driver and maintainer on. Literally left 2-year project with 2 pages of documentation that weren't even up to date.

YSK Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, scientists, government officials. Everyone was terrified.

[Vote] Should we defederate hexbear?
Aye
As much as it's funny watching tankies whataboutism and fake outrage, it gets to be too much with their spam taking up most of the oxygen in the room.
Hexbear behaves like the average /b/ /r9k/ /pol/ user

I work daily with federal agencies, and state and local governments specifically in cyber security. There is absolutely no way that an agency such as FEMA would be able to both spend what is claimed and also not deliver any results for "decades".
Additionally, firing dozens of IT staff does not begin to address their issues and likely just caused a mass exodus of integral knowledge of their environment.

Google officially admits that it's given up on tablets
It's amazing. I am exclusively Android in all but Tablet because Google can't figure it out and Samsung is... Samsung.

CEO of Roblox Says Child Predators on the Platform Are an "Opportunity"
Lordy, I hate sensationalized editorial headlines. This is the actual quote.
Asked by co-host Casey Newton how he thinks about the issue of child predators on his platform, the Roblox CEO said the issue wasn’t just a “problem, but an opportunity as well.”
This is standard corpo/PR speak when addressing an issue, you refer to it as an "opportunity", there's an implied "to solve/address".

I'm "use NFS forfilesharing" old. what's the current optimal solution for shared drives if I have like 3 linux machines in the house?
NFS is still the standard. Were slowly seeing better adoption of VFS for things like hypervisors.
Otherwise something like SFTPgo or Copyparty if you want a solution that supports pretty much every protocol.

Visits to piracy websites have increased 12% in the past four years
I can easily say that the amount of my friends and family that have become interested in my Emby setup has expontentially consistently increased every round that these streaming providers have increased their rates.
The experience of launching 7 different streaming apps to find something, content constantly vanishing or moving platforms, and just an overall poor user experience coupled with doubling/tripling of each platforms costs....

Japan is very similar but not exclusive to parks, even in the middle of Tokyo. Pretty much EVERYWHERE in Japan expects you to carry your own trash.
The only exception to this really being at restaurant's, street food markets, and "some" vending machines (which will have recycling for cans/plastic).
And you know what? There's very little trash on the streets. The dirtiest areas I experienced was Osaka near Amerika-mura (young trendy area) which was mostly just stuck gum, cigarette butts, and in the early AM maybe an empty can of beer.

Especially given the amount of money they've raised. Insane that at this point they didn't have a system to automatically archive any sources automatically

Best Free Mobile App for Streaming Self-Hosted Music?
Like others have stated. Navidrome. It's the only open sources backend I've found to properly handle my ~14TB music library without having performance issues.

Why Monero's Privacy Matters (Video)
I enjoy the boomer redditor hot takes against crypto here in fediverse.
I'll continue to pay for things in "scam" crypto, with merchants that continue to accept this "scam" crypto.
Anyone who blanket calls crypto a scam is delusional.

Russian missile attack kills 16 at Ukrainian market
Reply in thread
Hey, Hexbear's left nut here. Im trans btw. This is actually Ukraine's fault for accepting arms from the USA to defend themselves from Russian aggression. If the USA never offered arms to Ukraine, this could have been avoided.
When are the liberals going to wake up to the reality that they are directly responsible for these deaths?

Home Server Security
Personally I trust Bitwarden more than myself to keep all my passwords secure AND available. They've got a good track record as far as I'm aware.
For general security hardening though...
I use Shodan to help me identify if anything is misconfigured and what is visible from the web. You can pick up an account for usually $1 for life when they run a deal, then you can just monitor your DDNS, domain, and IP address and have it email you when any new services are detected.
Cloudflare Tunnels, to remove the need for a nginx reverse proxy (with the added benefit of easy failover as well as simplifying your stack). Then I'm utilizing Cloudflare's WAF to handle filtering out known malicious, foreign IP addresses, and other malicious traffic.
Another route you can go is a Nginx/haproxy reverse proxy behind something like Suricata. Then you can utilize something like fail2ban or crowdsec.
Authentik. Get everything behind a SSO experience and don't expose your backend services to unauthenticated local traffic (utilize http basic auth with header passthrough in authentik). So many people setup auth wrong and then have something like auth.domain.com going through auth but then mistakenly have their external IP address setup to allow traffic in authenticated.

don't trust cowboys or people doing cowboy voices
Op please just think about hugging this guy and your tummy touching his tummy. He is the same height as you and he is holding you tight. Think how safe and warm you feel in this moment.think of his jeans rubbing against your jeans. Please just think of his deep voice whispering into your ear lobe. You will probably be cumming soon after reading this and I think I will too.
