It’s even worse now in Canada — not smart devices, but water heater rentals. These companies charge astronomical rates per month for a rental, or a large “contract buy out fee”. They give kick backs to developers so almost all new builds in Ontario will have them.

Not to diverge too much, but if you’re keeping everything in memory how do you handle hardware failures etc? Wouldn’t that result in data loss?

Yup, definitely agree with this. I’ve noticed these are the managers that “feel like they’ve always been there”.

Somewhat satisfied customer here. Omnia is great as a wired router but I offloaded wifi to another device (eero in my case). Mox I was less satisfied with, has some strange bugs that have never been fixed. I probably wouldn’t pre-buy a new Turris device, but if the reviews are good I would go for it again.

Could be anything from poor management to contractual/legal requirements. For one client, we had to fly from Canada to the US, but could work remotely from any US site. Usually the client would set us up with a nice office a short flight away from home base. There were very specific legal requirements for them, and I had the impression they were generally as flexible as they could be.

Who decides what’s non-critical? I’d prefer my news articles not be rewritten by the government for example. Catering security to the absolute lowest common denominator (“can’t set a clock”) is not a path to success.

That’s generally the definition of free, yes. You might have a different definition, but it’s certainly not a common one.

On the flip side, it’s the longer you can survive an outage by relying on enough clients having the cached records. So can go both ways a bit.

I wish I had some really insightful reply that would expand upon this, but really I think you captured it beautifully. I can remember conversations at a music festival 20 years ago for exactly the reasons you said — in one or two nights I was able to “try on” 3 or 4 different versions of myself at a time where I was really trying to figure out who I was.

For anyone really, but especially as you come out of school and start making your way in the world that’s just such a powerful thing.

Thank you for reminding me of those nights, it really was a pleasant bit of nostalgia.

You’re assuming the over subscription is only occurring on the transit / peering side and not the last mile. I’m not so sure that’s entirely true.

“Even the Iraqi Air Force could manage to hit a rail yard” — did I roughly capture it?

Positions past senior have existed much longer than 5 or 6 years at Amazon.

Distinguished Engineer is the top “level” for engineers at Amazon. It’s equivalent to a VP position for managers. So it’s a job title, similar to Sr Engineer.

I wonder if you’re bumping into issues with t-mobile’s 646XLAT (https://sites.google.com/site/tmoipv6/464xlat )?

This more-or-less describes the Canadian system as well. We get “voter cards” mailed to us that make it easier to look up the person on the voter rolls, that’s the only notable difference. And they aren’t required, similar to what you say.

Not if you it want a 1:1 duplicate

https://www.amazon.jobs/en/teams/awsintelligence Might have something that’s a good fit and previous military experience definitely won’t hurt him.

They do have Cloudfront Functions now for real Edge compute: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/introducing-cloudfront-func...

Being on the top of the Empire State Building with my uncle who absolutely loves NYC and having him just point out so much famous stuff is a great memory. Just history as far as the eye can see.

Might depend on your environment too, I generally find the newer you can get for systemd the better off you are (which is really quite high praise!). Unfortunately the life cycle for some of our environments is quite long for things like RHEL7 -> RHEL8.

I generally agree, but will say that’s not always easy if it’s something system level that’s being induced to be too chatty —- you’re stuck replacing the upstream unit’s Exec, which frankly kind of sucks. I’m also trusting the filter to be as reliable, which may or may not be true.

Rate limiting works, but it’s a pretty blunt instrument and can lead to losing your actually valuable entries vs capturing garbage.

I’m a big fan of systemd, but we’ve definitely run into actual bugs in it. Especially the early RHEL7 days (7.0-7.3). Some were fixed upstream, some we’ve worked around, etc.

To add to that excellent point, I’ve personally found while I’m learning it’s easier to stick to a small number of authors for recipes. Since the same author will tend to make the same assumptions, you kind of perfect their style (or your take on it at least). Like all things cooking, ymmv of course.

What blows me away is how often a reporter/author/expert will reply. Sometimes even super informally — I’ve gotten great restaurants recommendations from people I’ve just respected from afar previously. Extremely humanizing experience.

Yup, with the Adblock package on openwrt this was a one click option in the GUI. Doesn’t help with DoH unfortunately, but it definitely helps in general.

Yup, I would echo this strongly. My wife ended up in hospital just before Christmas a couple of years ago, and she’s an extremely quick professional but between the emotional impact and the sheer volume of information she just couldn’t keep up. I did a bit better and kept up with the various prescriptions, test results, dosages, etc. Behind me there was a whole family team processing this — mom a nurse for 20+ years, her best friend an ER nurse for similar, a cousin that was a specialist in a related field, etc. All from 3000km away.

In the end, we lucked out that in the ER the first night we had a wonderful specialist who really took on the primary role in her care going forward, and the “shadow” family team stood down. And this was for a relatively simple issue that within 24 hours was determined not to be life threatening! I have so much more empathy for families in really challenging situations like yours now, just the sheer volume of information..

I did something similar! It shoved lab results into a SQLite DB and ran some simple queries for them. Before it was all being hand imported into excel. I thought it was neat throw away work but turned out the entire lab team migrated over to it.

Something about people actively choosing to use your work with no pressure, marketing or mandate just hits different emotionally.

Unless you’re frequently powering down your equipment you’ll likely keep the same IP. DHCP will try and keep the same address to avoid impacting in-flight connections, etc

That’s definitely not true for TLS. Your certificate private key should never leave your possession, outside of a few narrow exceptions (Amazon’s ACM comes to mind). The normal process is to send a certificate signing request, which your CA then signs and returns.

Not exactly something that was considered private for a long time. Phone books included this for example.
