🛠️ memes aside, I'm a software developer and I don't trust software-only systems with no fallback. Too many moving parts that can go wrong.

Yeah it's been a bit shit. Worked out I just can't sit at my desk for any length of time so have been using a standing desk for the last couple of days and it's really helping. Plus the exercises the physio gave me are good too. Hoping to ease back into the gym routine, I miss lifting weights.

I've been having a bit of a shit time with my back the last couple of weeks but it's finally coming right. Didn't realise how much of an effect it was having on my mood but I feel a lot better now 😄

Came here to say flight as well. Great tasting coffee

Yep just to tack onto this, I find their stuff is fairly easy to stack together as well. Have ended up building my entire home network and security setup with Ubiquiti gear, there's a good Home Assistant integration if you're into that.

The West Island is welcome to join Aotearoa any time they like 😂

As someone who started and still works in a co-op, it's because it's hard. Banks don't understand worker coops and won't lend money to you without a real person to attach the risk to, which means founders have to take an enormous risk which it can be hard to compensate them for. The legal structure isn't common so you are limited in the lawyers who can set one up for you. Others have mentioned the cost problems - I started a software dev coop so we didn't have a large capital outlay but it did cost nearly 10k just in setup costs.

It took a lot of work to get to where we are, with little supporting resources. In contrast, I started an LLC in half an hour and $150 registration fee to the government. So no, it not just "what people choose".

Our lawn has dried out a bit finally, could mow it at the weekend without sinking into it.

Haha you'd know about it if it was them. I had to look it up to make sure. The sap in mothweed is a real nasty irritant.

It was either that or a C++ programmer. Those template error messages are gnarly.

Man for a bit I thought you were eating the seed pods from moth weed vines. Yikes.

Come back to us comrade. I have over 6000 hours now and it's still great. I've been playing since TI2 though so it's only like 600hr per year average.

Yeah some kind of topside roast I reckon. Cuts are different in the USA so probably not what we have in my country.

I've used https://www.unicornfactory.nz in the past, have had most of our work from word of mouth though.

edit that is for contract work mostly. The other one is the Whose Hiring posts on hacker news - this website indexes them https://hnhiring.com

I'm running a small dev contracting company from the far north and we don't have too much trouble finding remote-only work. My main client is 100% remote for their entire engineering and product teams.

Was going to go up north for a road trip but one of the kids has gotten sick and is running a mean fever. Going to the doctors instead.

A-line

I really enjoyed the Vince McMahon episodes a while back. Hope these ones are good too

Yep that's the one. If you can make a cron job to make the zip file, logrotate could handle keeping the last x files.

It might sound complicated, but the cool thing about *nix environments is that everything is made up of a combo of little tools. You can learn one at a time and slowly build something super complicated over time. First thing would be figuring out the right set of commands to make a zip file from the directory I reckon. Then add that to cron so it happens every day. Then add logrotate into the mix and have that do its thing every day after the backup runs.
