>That said, this is slightly ridiculous. Have customers seriously complained about the term "master"? And my impression was that the usage was more similar to "master copy" than "master of the plantation".

We have solved poverty, work ethics problems in IT, we have great working culture, great salaries, we put demands and employers just throw money and resources at us. We run out of real problems to solve, so as humans - problem solving and pattern matching machines - we found another problem to solve.

But we already follow git-flow and have master, prod, staging and dev branches

Now that consider all tools need to support new non-offensive terminology and old racist terminology used in existing projects

You can check list of IP addresses?

Serious answer: they can edit your comments and posts without it having edit mark, so it looks like you wrote it and never edited.

Haha, amazon had the same problem a few years ago when they had fire in datacenter, their status checker page was hosted in the same building and was showing everything is fine, while 1000s of websites hosted on AWS were down.

Amazon is still selling Mein Kampf, they don't seem to care about it as long as it brings profit?

The post is from 2017, which is long after Snowden era.

Yesterday my non-technical colleagues a whatsapp group just said "I'm switching to signal, see you there" and suddenly a few people switched.

>I've had it lose messages on me, deleting them from the source before they're successfully written to the destination.

Copy folders then?

Thunderbird is your desktop client that can archive, compress, and store all emails offline. I've even used Thunderbird for migrating all my email history, folders etc. between servers: simply add new account and drag and drop folders between accounts. Simple enough to be used by non technical people who do not want to:

>./imapgrab.py -d -v -f ~/user@email.com -s imap.mail.server -S -p 993 -u user@email.com -p password -m "_ALL_,-INBOX.Trash,-INBOX.Spam,-INBOX.Junk,-Trash,-Junk,-Spam"

I had iMac in ~2009 had to do virtualisation work, so tried to upgrade RAM, ordered a few RAMs and none of them worked, iMac refused to boot. Gave up on this, never used Apple products again... too much hassle and too much lockdown from manufacturer.

Everyone observing the topic knew this 2 years ago, but that's first time someone important said it out loud.

Is migration from 32 bits possible?

It does seem perfectly enough to me. I gave them my address, details, credit card details, started watching a show from episode 1, they did not warn me "hey looks like you're watching a tv show that will be removed from netflix in a week, don't waste your time here" and it didn't expiration date on it, it just disappeared.

How would you feel to rent a car, go halfway to destination, take a nap in a hotel, then you wake up , car has no wheels, because wheels you had couldn't be used on that specific road, and you weren't warned about it. Breach of trust? Waste of time? Disappointment?

>I have subscriptions to Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Criterion, Apple TV+ and PBS

WOW. I had netflix once for a few days, I paid for netflix just to watch House MD, a week into netflix, they removed House MD from my region, I cancelled subscription and moved to PT. Never came back to netflix, I just no longer trust them, too much effort and too much legal complications. I can imagine paying for one portal, but more than two? That's more expensive and less user friendly then cable TV.

The real question is, why can't you work remotely? Considering currently ongoing events, it's easier to find a remote job.

Interesting to see Java moving fast enough to overtake .Net in some aspects that .Net needs to copy from Java now

Interesting, port scanning is illegal in some countries as it's classified as security testing, it can be only performed with permission.

How would you feel is someone was walking on busy car parking and checking if doors of the cars are open? It' what port scanning is, checking if the car has open door.

>But the question is how do you sustain yourself while working fulltime on building/maintaining open source software

I sometimes feel opensource collaborative projects only exists thanks to alcohol, but single-person projects thanks to boredom or scratching itch.

Which docker image do I use on raspberry pi 1 B? None of them seems to work, all crash on step `[20] pihole exited 267.`

> The benefit of Amazon, at least in the UK, is they will take a return for basically any reason regardless of whether its been opened or not.

Then they package the returned drive correctly and send to you, where it dies 5 months after warranty ended.

> I'm curious what the reason for avoiding eBay is?

Super low quality customer support, eBay is on sellers side as they bring profits, sellers purposely adversative products to sell more then refuse refunds, when I made complaint to eBay eBay got on their side. I have humidifier that not suitable for my needs and has super-low quality filter that's not HEPA as it was described. When I want to buy something cheap of questionable/unidentified quality, I go to aliexpress.

I have motorcycle cover that was supposed be XL and fit my motorbike, but got S that covers only top half... seller sent be back 20% of cost, but I still have cover I can't use.

GPS tracker that for some reason doesn't work with Orange (and others) SIM cards in the UK, but works in Poland (with Orange SIM).

Arduino WiFi that came in original(?) packaging, but was rusted. I can keep going like this...

It's been like this since I ever use eBay (~2010), I always lie to myself "this time it won't happen" and it keeps happening.

The "bye, amazon" post made me think about my consumer habits. I'm building a gaming rig now, I decided to avoid amazon and ebay as much as I ca to let shops avoid paying selling and advertising fees.

Why not servoView?

I'm lost now, there is firefox, firefox klar, firefox preview, firefox focus... what's going on there?
