Might make for an interesting development on future seasons of Alone if Grizzles become a common presence on Vancouver Island.

My understanding of read materials so far is the amount of work gone into the program to risk profile danger was incredible, the change in risk profile of the addition of Grizzles on top of wolves and black bears would be quite an adjustment.

True enough but of the list, Canva have been profitable for quite some time. They've already monetised the market, though they're certainly the exception and not the rule.

That's fair, West Australia represents 3 million of Australias 26 million people.

The comment above tragically is true for most of the country.

I don't take the term boss literally here.

His position and influence still has enough weight to make a poor interaction with him a career limiting event.

I think that's what OP was referring to, he's still the guy that founded Microsoft. He's as figurative and influential as any boss I'd ever hope to meet.

The domain of the site makes senses, huh.

Par for the course for any product or service owned by Microsoft.

Fair enough.

I haven't had the same experience but that's mostly because I'm a Dev, implementing it for other developers.

It sounds less like a product problem vs. configuration problem caused by your IT teams.

Oh?

We were in need of an MDM to help staff (non-techs) with their Mac books. I haven't noticed any issues, nor have two of my staff who are trialling it. What's been your main gripe?

I'm a Dev but also manage the It team of one sys admin and haven't noticed any performance hits. Yet anyway, but it's only been two weeks.

Interesting that your experience was a double increase in costs from going up in security level. My experience was it was an order of magnitude (10x) at each level .

E.g., OFFICIAL let's say is $1,000,000 PRIVATE becomes $10,000,000 SECRET becomes $100,000,000

What we did experience was the cost in time to deliver a service doubled however. E.g., OFFICIAL was 3 years, PRIVATE was 6 years and so on. I expect it varies significantly between types of system, ours was a SaaS platform that read telemetry from embedded systems on assets in the field, so I'd assume that would be one of the drivers for my differing experience than yours.

Hey thank you! I didn't know that, I was still stuck in the thoughts of using Transit Gateways between accounts which of course attracts $$$.

It's fine, but you're going to attract a lot of network costs bridging data between AWS accounts.

Generally I'd stick to accounts per environment, you'll be worrying about a lot more when you get to FAANG scale.

It's more likely that they're using the free tier, and your time in Captcha is helping them train a model and prevent misuse (e.g. shared accounts, scriptures)

Leaning towards the former more.

Surprising for me also.

After the initial login all your passwords are cached locally anyway.

Unfortunately Perth and Brisbane have climbed a great deal closer to Sydney now. The gap in terms of cost to buy or rent is narrowing, at current rates we're looking at the gap closing entirely in the next 5-10 years.

I highly recommend against Microsoft Surface products. I bought them for my dev team and we saw 3 of the 10 or so devices fail and need to be replaced.

The RMA experience in other countries may differ to Australia, but it meant my team were without a dev spec'd laptop in total of close to a month across the whole team. They had to use off the shelf laptops and use a VDI for computational taxing workloads while waiting for a replacement device.

Throw in how ordinary the support process was with Microsoft, e.g., no phone contact number, only email, correspondance takes 1-2 days to start and the back and forth taking another few hours each way. We wasted a lot of time on these devices and the bullshit Microsoft support process.

Devs are now split between Lenovo ThinkPads and MacBooks now depending on their wants and needs. I've never seen a failure record like what we had with the Surfaces as we have with any other hardware provider.

Which VPS provider did you go with?

I tried AlphaVPS and another and I had no luck with the traffic routing out of the VPS. Went with a droplet in DigitalOcean in the end that's managed through Portainer. Works a treat and equivalently cheap.

Hey Jacob, awesome suggestion!

Are you building your base image from the GitHub runner-images repo?

Do you have any appetite for building self hosted EC2 agents for Azure DevOps and GitHub?

I'm happy to help if you are, I'm working on something similar myself for my employer.

I appreciate the context you're providing, but "Hey you'd be dead regardless of where you are in the building at the time if it collapses" isn't as reassuring as you'd think.

Have to map GUID and UIDs from the Proxmox host to the LxC to allow bind mappings work as an example.

Proxmox doco for unprivileged LxC is here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Unprivileged_LXC_containers

Looks to be difficult if not outright impossible to opt out of.

Recommendations go from registry edits on all your Windows machines, doesn't seem possible on MacOS, or possible for K12 or Universities.

Reddit is another example where they've broken the mobile browser experience, to send you to another app. Arguably broken, but in different ways.

I took the original message as being, if you're near the sea, the air around you is cooler so the environment it's self is less harsh.

Though I can guarantee on a hot day, 2.5 million people aren't making their way to beaches or water holes to cool off. And Brisbane is a sweaty place in Summer.

No crocs near us. There's quite a lot of lakes for freshwater swimming and when the rain is right, rock pools.

The sea is about 45 minutes away but only rock beaches.

But we have the famous beaches of Sunshine Coast (Noosa) and Gold Coast (Tallebudgera amongst others) around 90 minutes away.

My great grandparents had a black and white TV when I was a toddler, and I'm 36!

The amount of change millennials and the generations before and after us have seen is boggling.

I was out in country Victoria, Australia a few months back and the internet was TERRIBLE. I'm talking, JPG's loading line by line terrible. And this was on 'alleged' 4G.

I felt pretty nostalgic for all of 2-3 minutes before I started pulling my hair out. I feel nostalgic about it again now.

Brisbane checking in. Wish we were near the coast. :(

There's something to be said about Hacker News dialogue in the last few years. Where a large contingent of members discuss contraction opinions about a topic that either misunderstands or misinterprets the intent of the original message for the sake of engagement.

Price ridiculously wasn't something I considered, once that out of the way it was mostly aesthetics, customisation, reliability and repairability.

I preferred how chucky the UHK was vs the ErgoDox kits. Also preferred the hot swappable mods you can take in and out of the UHK were pretty compelling too. These are all listed here: https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/shop

Though admitedly, I haven't swapped them out once since I settled on what works for me.

The UHK has a strong community behind it's parts, and speaking from sone one who can and does spill even the best unspillable coffee cups.

The risk of me breaking the UHK is a lot closer to an unacceptable number than zero. And being able to swap out coffee broken parts is easy with UHK.

Erodox and ZSA easily could have been too but I couldn't find as strong of a compelling argument as with the UHK. It was more likely a coffee rinse of the Ergofox or ZSA keyboards would mean buying a new one which meant the upfront cost of the UHK was in some part, insurance against my own clumsiness.

The customisable and awesome software that came with UHK was very high up there too but I got the impression those features were almost as prominent in the competition too.

I didn't make my own but I have a UHK v2 with a similar setup, this photo isn't my own (so don't ask me about the mapping choice of the keys shown) but it's identical to this:

Can't edit my post, yeah you're right.

I quoted some one verbatim who works at Airbus who said Airbus Australia was exclusively supporting Defences helicopter fleet. I must have misunderstood what they said and Qantas/Jetstar are flying Airbus but are being supported by another party.

My mistake.
