  • Or we just go back to the old way; where a company sells a product and consumers just own it. Why does a static piece of software/video require a license? Updates used to be optional, but then company's started selling broken stuff and writing out exclusions until we had no other options.

  • The simplest solution is Chromecast + device of your choosing. Followed by Apple TV, but I can't remember if those can cast.

    If youll spend a bit more, you can also get an Xbox one. You'll get access to a multimedia device that has the Microsoft app store for subscriptions, it's available as a Chromecast device, unfortunately Microsoft is nose diving hard right now, but I rarely play games on mine anymore.

  • 💯 It was never hard, you just didn't know the rhythm yet. Any game that is too lazy to figure out scaling just gets relabeled as a souls game. You'll get the same experience playing most games without equipment.

  • Hailey "Hawk Tuah" Welch is an influencer that gained a lot of popularity from her nickname (the sound of spitting, with HEAVY implications of performing fellacio). She used her platform to voice a very reasonable and intelligent opinion, which surprised a lot of people because her nickname is essentially blowjob queen.

    One of her opinions is that it's important to spread cyber security and used her fame to try to educate the public (potentially a fake story from the image? Idk this drama). And some xit-head claiming to be a cyber security expert ate the onion and offered some shitty advice. Proton fact checked them, because there are a ton of fake news stories about her right now.

  • I've never seen a good answer to this in accessibility guides, would you mind making a recommendation? Is there any preferred alt text for something like:

    • "clarification image with an arrow pointing at object"
    • "Picture of a butt selfie, it's completely black"
    • "Picture of a table with nothing on it"
    • "example of lens flare shown from camera"
    • "N/A" dangerous

    Sometimes an image is clearly only useful as a visual aid, I feel like "" (exluding it) makes people feel like they are missing the joke. But given it's an accessibility tool; unneeded details may waste your time.

  • Preach! I got onboarded to a team with 31 other SRES and 2 weeks in I realized that I was doing all their jobs in Linux solo. The things got helped my team before I got there: octopus deploy's "run script on host" it's not too different from invoke command -computername "", but Active directory :vomit: and security locked down most of the useful tools, so they used octo runbooks instead (also vomit but you do get tools back in the remote UI) but it's setup with tentacles w/ identifiable ssh keys so it skips ad. It also lets you set env variable libraries.

    Move configs to dev repos and make them set/read their own yaml/json, for some reason windows shops didn't get that memo. Royal TSX is a decent rdp client that you can script host lists and store prod/dev credentials, ours is basically just knife node list | sort windirstat is a GUI replacement for du - *. The light at the end of the tunnel is when you drop the codebase in a windows container and just remove all of the iis mess/instability for container management.

    Right now we are trying to figure out bootstrapping. In order to provision a new host we need to reboot the box 2x for ad and one for the app stack. We think we can remove the hostname assignment, but AD shakes fist... it's kinda pointless targeting an automated step, when it needs manual intervention later anyways.

  • After you get your replacement lens, you can also try putting a drop of resin and wiping it away. In theory the resin should fill the crack with a transparent material and the heal the blemish. Then you "buff it" by removing excess liquid before it cures. But as others mentioned there is coating and more specifically glass treatment that may cause issues, but that's the process for auto class repair (they usually drill out a hole around it first to prevent further spreading but that sounds worse here). Those kits can be pretty cheap

  • You can prevent downtime by mirroring your container repository and keeping a cold stack in a different cloud service. We wrote an loe, decided the extra maintenance wasn't worth the effort to plan for provider failures. But then providers only sign contracts if you are in their cloud and you end up doing it anyways.

    Unfortunately most victims aren't using best practices let alone industry standards. The author definitely learned the wrong lesson though.

  • I actually think this backfires on most of you. Copyright law makes everything public domain after a period of time, Johnny Fires kids will be able to trade for all the first professionals in the world. But Life +70 years after currency is invented, anyone can print cash and trade falls apart and services and materials are the only thing if value. Copyright laws broken :shrug:

  • Just learned about her thanks! She is very passionate, clear and intelligent. Unfortunately this is a lesson most people learn about premium vacations and she made a 4 hour rant video about it. I'm not a star wars fan but I'm likely watching this whole thing.

  • Fellow 90s kid, my parents were exactly the same. Religious background, fox news constantly, I once didn't text back within 2 hours and had a neighbor contacted via Facebook knocking on my door in my 30s (to be fair I work on call so it's atypical). I got lectured at 18 for buying an m rated game in front of them... Police report was a bit much; but I you aren't alone.

    Side note I would recommend this nostalgic song: high fives - 90s kid anthem by Dr awkward

  • First off, it's important to understand Responsive Design

    and why you shouldn't be writing your own css these days as a newbie. Bootstrap is a public css doc with a lot of those problems pre-solved, so you might want to look up some of their tooling.

    As far as a website: you'll need a domain name, you can get some for free, but they usually have short renewals otherwise this is unavoidable.

    You can pay for "shared hosting" at any of the major vendors like blue host or GoDaddy and get apache or aspx file hosting for like you said $X0/year.

    You can use an s3 static website for ~free. Creating a DNS hosted zone is $.50. but you can create an s3 bucket (think flash drive in the cloud) store a threshold of free documents, and publish them as a website all within the free tier of AWS. This has some technical background and AWS can get expensive of you make mistakes (although this shouldn't scale much unless you upload a thousands ton of files repeatedly)

    Alternatively you can use GitHub pages . Git is a tool used by developers to share and edit code, they let you publish free HTML as well, but requires learning git or figuring out a tool with a UI like source tree. I don't think you can use custom domains with this though.

    Although if you have any interest in tech, you can also create a free nginx docker container through a lot of services like ecs, but you can also self host in a "sandbox". Docker creates a mini virtual machine with all of the code required to run self contained. Nginx let's you create HTML docker containers by mounting a directory. ~ docker start nginx /website/directory And it just runs self contained.
