What Google password?
I don’t intend to browse RMS-style, but I have zero need of a Google account, nor of the major search engines directly.
I just add layers between myself and that particular company. I still can get their data, but without the creep factor.
Mostly.
It’s an imperfect solution, but I’m more comfortable with access by proxy than direct access.
Sell them to someone who will test and resell them to the airline or medical industry… Manufacturing is a likely customer as well, plenty of legacy equipment there that’s airgapped and still running decades-old hw/sw.
Youtube warning, some Boeing 747s
(This is a wrong answer since you only have a single pack. If you had several cases, you might actually be able to make a buck)
Saw a post on mastodon in the last day or so that someone dug up a network card for the old 486 they had been working on getting back to life. Might be a use case there, as well as in aviation and medicine - fields that move exceptionally slowly and tend to have expensive equipment with long lifetimes.
I use Arch, btw…
Kidding, of course - but there are some of those folks out there. TBF, they’re the vocal minority, but they are vocal nonetheless.
The value of my labor, daily.
The nominal “cost” of my healthcare, at every encounter.
Etc.
Dead on, and applicable to nearly everyone.
I walked away from reddit after Alien Blue had to get pulled, and haven’t looked back.
There are a few niche areas Lemmy hasn’t had a chance to build a community yet - AskHistorians comes to mind - that I miss, but time will hopefully solve that.
I definitively walk differently in e.g., Birks, generic sandals, and generic slip-on closed-toe shoes.
Each one is quite consistent and recognizable, unfortunately, which puts me in a position of few options for working around this sort of technology. If you see me in Birks a decade ago, you’ll know me in Birks today without having to see anything above my hip.
Knew this was coming at scale sooner or later. Something of a concern to me personally, because my own gait is particularly identifiable to those who know me.
Aside from footwear, and possibly using various inserts to change the way one’s foot falls on the ground, I don’t have any obvious thoughts for defeating this unfortunately. The problem with any sort of inserts is that they’re likely to cause other problems over time for the same reason they could theoretically mask one’s gait - unnatural walking tends to be bad for the body on the whole, and to cause more widespread problems over time.
Particularly since most Lemmy instances have (IIRC) built-in image hosting (unless disabled), and there are a wide variety of alternatives as well.
Right there with you on “just works,” as well as the simple fact that the config snippets you need are readily available - either in the repo of whatever you’re putting behind the proxy, or elsewhere on the internet.
I consistently keep in mind that it’s ultimately an RU product, of course. But since it’s open source and changes relatively infrequently, that’s mitigated to a large degree from where I sit.
Nothing against Caddy, though Apache gets heavy quickly from a maintenance standpoint, IMHO. But nginx has been my go to for many, many years per the above. It drops into oddball environments without having to rip and tear existing systems out by the roots, and it doesn’t care what’s behind it.
Ages ago, I had a Tomcat app that happened to be supported indirectly by an embedded Jetty (?) app that didn’t properly support SSL certs in a sane way on its own.
That was just fine to nginx and certbot, the little-but-important Jetty app just lived off to the side and functionally didn’t matter because with nginx and certbot, nothing else gave a crap - including the browser clients and the arcane build system that depended on that random Jetty app.
Haven’t seen RTFM casually dropped in conversation online in… um… a while…
You’ve been hanging out on the intartoobz at least as long as I have. Circa the paleolithic era, or so…
Pharm tech licensing varies wiiiiidely across the states. Some require natl very, some require basically on job training IIRC.
RPh not so much, but tech also has responsibility not to kill you with a misfill and more eyes are always good for preventing deaths.
The shit wages they pay in relation to being responsible in part for safety and accuracy (in retail) is a big part of why most retail is dangerously understaffed.
Same for insurance agents and real estate agents in many (most?) of US. HS, a couple weeks of “teaching to the test,” and a test is all it takes. Rote memorisation. - lots of those younger folks in insurance couldn’t define what they may/may not say/promise, or who is an “Insured” under a given policy.
sed harbors no demon beasts, in my experience.
On the other hand, by default using sed -i is where the demons come in.
No, sed, NOT in place. Not the first time. Show me what you want to do based on the instructions I gave you, and then we’ll talk about letting you play with the real data.
Digging my Mirage. Low-key cheap, simple display that integrates well w/ phone, and 40+ MPG.
Also easy to paddle shift into “oh fuck” mode, which burns more gas but gets me out of some hairy situations when AC is running.
Would prefer a hybrid, but this is the car the numbers worked out on in a sane way. I tried hypermiling in a Prius 1G (99, I think) on both a KY parkway and I24, and it sorta worked but was a huge PITA as well. Context, US 41 thru Evansville, Parkway, 24. Not terrible for the time at all, but a bit stressful here and there.
Sweatpants, and old t-shirts or polo shirts if there’s a video call planned for a given day. I WFH for a company you’ve heard of, and all the video calls in question are internal.
As part of a much larger project that was all-in on Java to begin with, I’ve used Tomcat to serve pages and PDFs/office doc formats rendered based on a postgres backend and FreeMarker templates.
For these purposes, you don’t want that level of complexity (or Java) but the general premise and template libs should be available in nearly any sane web programming language.
I still can’t cook, but my wife definitely taught me that I’m allowed to have feelings; And most everything I know about expressing those feelings without being a complete asshole and without going straight from calm to rant-y.
IOS presently, partially to simplify de googling.
