I guess I'm very different. I went on a trip for a week in May, and have 4 more planned into next year, though I intend to "WFH" during some of them. I don't want to burn all my vacation time. I've worked out a way to force myself to go on more trips for fun and my hobbies.
That said, a trip like this still tends to have some things planned, because you need to buy tickets or whatever in advance a little bit. I am lucky in that I can do this.
I love how the "conservative" idea is to return to 1950s socially, but sure not economically! It's also pretty clear that this idea that somehow having a 1% is driving the nation. Case in point this spat! Does Musk and Zuck fighting or competing in social media do much of anything for the country as a whole? At most, it's similar to what DC and Marvel competing in entertainment IMHO. I guess Twitter vs Facebook does something regarding society, but making it non-stagnant? I guess a lot of people were introduced to the term 'cuck'.
I guess I just don't get how you have share with "large" group of people and private and secure? I mean, pastebin anyway had a timeout. And the paaster github even says you have to run your own instance for security and privacy. If I'm running my own server, I presumably don't need to encrypt my data from myself. If I am running my own server, and the security is explicitly the link, it's not actually secure because the link grants access. But that's to be expected, anything more and you get into needing to authenticate everyone, which is the exact opposite of easy or quick.
And for anything I'm concerned enough about to not share with the internet - I wouldn't be posting on a game lobby or forum. Or I mean, if I trust the forum privacy, why not just... idk... post the text content to the forum?
My issue here isn't that I don't see the need for a pastbin sort of service, my issue is I think for the vast majority of usecases you've listed and I can imagine, you're getting security theater, not actual security and privacy.
This just seems like misunderstanding the point of a pastebin, and also what tools are appropriate. At least to me, depending on privacy demands, you'd use an existing cloud filesharing service like box for basic privacy, or if your correspondent understood encryption and privacy, you'd use something like Signal to share either a compressed image or data, or the actual file.
Isn't the point of a pastebin to be publicly accessible, hence encryption seems irrelevant to me? I mean, I've only ever used them to share code or errors or logs with a forum or stack overflow or whatever. I have no reason to add key exchange or password exchange with "everyone who might view the forum / stack overflow". It's effectively public anyway.
Are people using these pastebin services for something else?
Self hosted at home really depends on what sort of Internet you can even get. You might be metered, you might only have a couple mbps upstream, it probably is against TOS.
Yea, we're just starting a EL7 to Alma 9 migration. Kind of not looking forward to having to throw out all that work and try and migrate somewhere else if the rebuilds become impossible to make in the next few months or even few years. And if this doesn't work, I don't see why they don't try something else in 2 years again, so I'm far less sanguine than I was back with them ending CENTOS.
I have no real idea what much of that is trying to say but:
This new industrial age is also beginning to reverse some of the secular macro trends of the past. Fractured supply chains are raising global prices, causing inflation targets to overshoot and interest rates to rise. Public and private money is flooding into manufacturing projects, irrigating firms dehydrated by the investment drought. Higher investment plans are also helping absorb the global savings glut, with global real interest rates rising by over 1 percentage point so far.
This seems like a bit of jargon - what is a secular macro trend?
Anyway, I kind of agree that investment into manufacturing and competition on that is probably good for everyone.
IANAL, and it depends on the countries law. My understanding is in the US 99.999% of the time, as a passerby, you cannot have liability for inaction. Remember the last episode of Seinfeld and the lawyer saying you don't have to help anybody.
However actions you take are always potentially legally liable. And taking an action to cause someone to die always puts you on the hook potentially for manslaughter. Defense of others might be a mitigation, but that is usually like shooting an active shooter. In this case I think that's not what's happening.
Sadly, I think the safe thing for you to do legally is to keep walking and forget you ever saw the lever.
Ok, if you were further away it could have smelled different. Up here in NY it smelled like burning trash and plastic and chemicals. It was horrible. I was referring to people who live in the same small town as I do, so they had to smell the same thing.
Honestly, I've been saying I'll still be on reddit for the sysadmin sub for work, at least as long as old.reddit.com exists cause I'm at a PC when I'm working. But I looked at the sub today and realized - like with /r/news ... there's way less posts and content than there used to be.
And what is posted there is low interest. Also, IDK if I've "leveled up" (like 7 years ago TBH), but my problems I'd be pushed to post about usually fly completely over the heads of most other posters on that sub. So it's not even valuable to me in solving problems unless I happen to hit on like 3 other posters who are actually as or more experienced as I am. Otherwise I get silence or "generic responses" I already know that isn't actually helpful.
So... I'm starting to think I won't miss much from that sub either. And I already had other time wasters.
I hope we get some more users on here, and people who are higher skilled (is the fediverse a "you must be this techie to ask questions filter?).
Great to see a place that might take over for sysadmin
Too bad it's on lemmy.ml instead of an instance for sysadmin communities like sysadmin, networking, cybersec etc etc to distribute the load. Having lemmy.ml as a default for communities really hits their instance hard.
