This file compresses so well. 🤏

Terrible opsec sharing your WiFi SSID, by the way. I can't find one right now, but I've seen global "wardriving" maps of all broadcast WiFi SSIDs that allow to pinpoint a somewhat unique SSID or at least narrow down to a few options. A list of SSIDs around you pretty much gives away your precise location.

Had similar behaviour last night. Turned out UnboundDNS had crashed in my opnsense firewall and took "internet connectivity" with it. Restarting the service fixed it in one click after I found it.

Highly recommend cupping your favourite coffee with different kinds of water (e.g. tap, mineral, DIY water see below). It's pretty eye opening.

Here's how to make your own, if you're motivated to try: https://www.baristahustle.com/diy-water-recipes-the-world-in-two-bottles/

What is this doing in Technology?!

It's not my Github, but I think you'd do something like print and store in a safe place your trusted party has access to. My SO has my Keepass password stored in their password safe and theoretically knows (and hopefully will recall when the need arises) how to find my Keepass file, for example.

In short, it's trust. And then there's the fact that they would never voluntarily touch this stuff anyway. 😅

Not about design patterns, but about making preparations: https://github.com/potatoqualitee/eol-dr

Grindr faces massive fine for "allegedly" "sharing" "sensitive" "user" "data".

Haven't seen your laptop, but if it's anything like mine it's a very lousy boat.

It's that, plus "notifications can disrupt your sleep."

“A much greater issue [than the blue light] is likely to be the content viewed,” says Peirson. “Reading work emails relating to impending deadlines is clearly going to cause anxiety, and anxiety is strongly related to insomnia.”

Gimp believes in you and loves you in a non clingy way.

Gimp might be able to perform that little logo-transformation favour for you libre of charge, but at least give it a call after for heaven's sake.

That actually makes a lot of sense. I never even second guessed how tedious all the parsing is. But then, as others have said here, as soon as the task at hand reaches a level of complexity beyond grepping, piping and so on I just very naturally move to Python.

On a different note, there are ways to teach bash json. I recall seeing a hacker conference talk on it some time ago, but didn't pay close attention.

Mh, it probably depends a lot where you're coming from. I don't need Powershell or have a reason to learn it in my daily work, and I mostly use WSL to access Linux shells everywhere else. And on top of that, I don't understand why Powershell needs a completely different command set to basically every other shell. It's a biased take, but I have not had an interaction with Powershell that I liked, nor have I seen a feature that made me want to look into it more.

What's the killer feature, would you say? Care giving me the fanboy-pitch?

edit. Oh and I forgot, the tab completion in Powershell is so incredibly dumb. I never ever in my life want to cycle through all items in a path, and much less have it be case insensitive. Come to think of it, this might be the origin of most of my disdain. ;)

WSL has changed the game pretty significantly, don't you agree? It's not perfect, but allows me to stay firm in my resolve never to learn powershell.

I'd spend half the money on snail amnesia research. The rest I'd just squander.

Storage box is self-serviced storage on a single server, as far as I'm aware. If you need replication, you need to rent storage at a second location and do it yourself.

And I'm sure the fish he caught that one time really was YEA big. And boy the fight he gave him.

By god, lemmy is civilised. 😂 I love it.

I can see what you mean, too, but am still on the liking him side I guess. And anyway, l'art pour l'art and all that, right? 😅

Hm, interesting. I didn't read it like that, but as an economist trying to make sense of what's going on and explain it to others. I didn't question whether the thoughts are original, neither do I know if there are holes in his concepts that I as a non-economist am blind to. My personal opinion, anyway, is that the message is important today (or better yet 15 years ago but nobody would have listened 😉), no matter whether he is primarily motivated by his ego or what.

Maybe this makes me part of the people he caters to, but that line of thinking doesn't lead anywhere meaningful anyway, I think.

I liked the end of the book: A call to action for us to come up with tools and technological solutions for "users" to stand together so we can create resistance against overly powerful cooperations and demand our rights. I don't think it's hypocritical for him to ask for this either. We need people to point problems out and problem solvers, both.

Have you read more of what he wrote or how did you come by that opinion on him? Technofeudalism and a number of interviews leading up to the book release was the first I was exposed to him.
