sqidyyy··on Systemd BirthDate Merge: Conflicts of Interest
The "DiRUG reform" link leads nowhere and I can't find that particular site neither on bmj.de nor the Wayback Machine. Is that an hallucinated artifact?
sqidyyy··on Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles
Incredibly detailed article, thanks for that. The blog software still uses example.com in html head, RSS feed and sitemap XML.
sqidyyy··on PSA: Internet Archive "glitch" deletes years of user data and accounts
While I absolutely understand the frustration of losing years worth of "preservation-level quality" data, you have to admit that the Internet Archive is a free service we do not deserve. They (the folks behind The Internet Archive) do not owe us anything.
sqidyyy··on Live proxy and VPN detection
arkenfox, No VPN:

Proxy Score: 45/100 - Likely a Proxy VPN Score: 15/55 - Could be a VPN (But Unlikely)

Service sure does assume a lot of things.

sqidyyy··on NSA, CISA Release Kubernetes Hardening Guidance [pdf]
Thank you for this post. I agree and feel the struggle as well. Often the issue is even to communicate that this type of data is, literally, a _secret_ and should be treated accordingly.

I'm looking forward to things like mTLS and solutions with short token lifetimes and automated rotation. This should definitly reduce the amount of encrypted secrets in Git repos and basic auth logins for every 3rd exposed service.

In the end developers rarely care how the secrets gets to the application, or if it's fresh or been in the same namespace for over a year.

sqidyyy··on Scattered thoughts on why I waste my own time
For a year I've been constantly thinking about this state and how there must be way way more people with the same experience. I recently managed to ask a few people about their current situation. And indeed, they too share this experience.

Thank you for the short "Absence of more meaningful activities" paragraph. I was about to head down a rabbithole and procrastinate higher priority tasks but the text reminded me of more important things.

One thing I'd like to share with you all, it was by far the most helpful regarding this topic: Dr. Andrew Huberman (hubermanlab.com) recently published a video called "ADHD & HOW ANYONE CAN IMPROVE THEIR FOCUS", I couldn't possible summarize it nearly as good as Dr. Huberman did and I kindly ask you to use your favorite search engine to look it up. It opened my eyes to new options to get out of this time wasting loop that I wasn't aware before.

sqidyyy··on Pandas got 3x faster
Imagine my disappointment when I found out this isn't about real pandas.
sqidyyy··on Ask HN: Which domain registrar and hosting provider do you prefer?
Domains:

* namecheap.com: It's cheap and easy to use. Has a lot of TLDs to choose from.

* freenom.com: Started using free domains, dropped most of them, kept a few as paid domains, which I don't regret.

Hosting:

* server.lu (now part of server.com): Luxembourg is a great location for hosting, especially with a 1Gbit port. I still have my old contract which I don't plan on terminating as long as them don't force me. Getting the full bandwidth throughout Europe. Not the cheapest plan, but one of the best dedicated servers I ever owned.

sqidyyy··on Web Framework Benchmarks
I could never explain why mojolicions (Perl) was placed 5th on "Data updates" in Round 14.

Guess that's a think of the past now. (53rd)

sqidyyy··on Private Internet Access' “No-Logging” Claims Proven True Again in Court
We all know by now that most "No-Logging" claims end up being untrue. The most surprised I am about the fact that PIA is not able to provide any information about the user even if required by court.
sqidyyy··on The Unemployment Rate in Every Region of Europe
true, but things like wages and social standards are other statistics.

Additionaly to the mentioned "low-wage-job" boom you have to mention part-time employment. Which does count as employment but doesn't result in the usual 40h+/week.

sqidyyy··on Foxconn Will Take 7M Gallons of Water per Day from Lake Michigan to Make LCDs
Even if we assume the treated water wont return to the lake basin. Would still need 508,806 years to drain.

Are there any other dangerous side-effects or why is this a thing? Enlighten me please.

sqidyyy··on Berlin now home to soaring rents and rising tensions
I couldn't find any information in the article that it's WBS social housing. It says "located in a newly fashionable district" which doesn't sound like social housing.
sqidyyy··on Berlin now home to soaring rents and rising tensions
tbh this is a very bad example. $300 (247€) for 570 square-foot (53m²) are just not realistic for a city like Berlin. The real price for such an appartment (in that district) is around 700-800€.

Not to be "that guy" with the unpopular opinion here, but I'm not even sure if the landlord can even cover the costs for the apartment from what she's paying.

sqidyyy··on Berlin now home to soaring rents and rising tensions
Very far above average.
