threentaway··on Unreal Engine 5 enters Early Access
That's the previous Unreal Engine 4.
threentaway··on Find the Hard Work You're Willing to Do (2018)
I agree with most of what you're saying, but the work will still be there the next day. I just dont see the reason to give more than agreed on, with the exception of emergencies of course.

> So I'll happily work 50 hour weeks instead of 40 hours

But why? If your contract says 40/wk is expected, then just work that and set targets based on that. Why give your employer 500+ hours per year of your life that you don't owe them?

threentaway··on Threat Actors Now Target Docker via Container Escape Features
No RBAC doesn't automatically do this. And many publicly available Helm charts are missing these basic security configurations. You should use Gatekeeper or similar to enforce these settings throughout your cluster.
threentaway··on Migrate Everything from Linux to BSD
Ubuntu at one point packaged in Amazon search by default.
threentaway··on Experienced well-being rises with income, even above $75,000 per year
In major cities in the US it absolutely has, even given the decreased interest rate.
threentaway··on Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, Part II
Weird, I had no issues with the built in display on Ubuntu 20.04, but I had to update the kernel to 5.8 to get display out over USB-C to work. Now that Ubuntu 20.10 is out and uses 5.8, I'm just using that so I don't have to mess with custom, unsigned kernels.
threentaway··on Show HN: RSS Feeds with News from AWS
My team pipes some of these feeds along with others that we care about into a Slack channel. It works really well for staying on top of new releases.
threentaway··on The many lies about reducing complexity part 2: Cloud
This seems like you didn't have proper monitoring and alerting set up for your job, not sure how that is a downside of AWS.
threentaway··on U.S. Treasury breached by hackers backed by foreign government – sources
Organizations that are serious about security should not allow random OAuth apps. Both G Suite and O365 admins can restrict what OAuth apps are allowed.
threentaway··on US internet speeds 91% faster in 2020 according to user speed tests
Seattle doesn't have competition, unfortunately. It's only in the very core of the city that has access to Centurylink fiber, mostly everywhere else is stuck with Comcast cable or laughably slow DSL.
threentaway··on Linus Torvalds on the new MacBook Air
Independent tests show 5-8min of full load before it throttles, which really is quite impressive.
threentaway··on Eleven Years of Go
But not everything is a monolithic REST web app. Sometimes you have many different components -- from CLI apps to serverless functions -- and having a lean but powerful stdlib is amazing, especially with builin type safety, consistent lining, and cross-platform native binaries easily under 10MB.
threentaway··on Eleven Years of Go
Not specifically Go related, but I am consistently annoyed that Helm's templating is a _very_ thin abstraction over Go's templating which has many drawbacks in that context.
threentaway··on On Apple's Piss-Poor Documentation
> I know it seems silly but that's why I've been advocating for getting those little "was this page helpful?" links

And when you do this, DO NOT serve up the feedback form/popup from some advertising domain, otherwise developers with ad lockers (many, if not most) won't even see it.

threentaway··on Managing my personnal servers in 2020 with K3s
Having zero downtime updates is quite nice. For example, I can set FluxCD to pin to a feature release of Nextcloud, and it will automatically apply any patch updates available. Because of the zero downtime updates, this can happen at any time and I won't have any issues, even if I'm actively using Nextcloud as it's happening.

It's also available in more upscale grocery stores in the Northwest -- possibly other locations as well.
threentaway··on CNCF Cloud Native Interactive Landscape
In that case you probably want to be looking at K3s and not full blown Kubernetes.
threentaway··on Almost 90 percent of NYC bars and restaurants couldn’t pay August rent
Security is much more than safety from invasions from other nations. It is a guaranteed safety net for when things go wrong; this covers everything from health care, to unemployment, to services for the homeless, and yes it includes helping businesses that collectively employ tens of thousands of people in times of crisis.

> We need to be pragmatic and get our people and economy through this crisis

OK, tax the rich. PS: It was the winning strategy before the crisis too.

threentaway··on The Social Dilemma
Facebook and many others don't use third party ad networks anymore due to the rise of ad blockers, so most ad blockers don't even work on them since they work by blocking DNS lookups for those advertising domains.
threentaway··on Survey: The average worker experiences career burnout – by the age of 32
I am so jealous. But I've also only been making decent money for about a year now so maybe in a few years I'll be able to afford this.

What do you do when you do this? Do you travel?

1. NextCloud supports Calendar and Contacts sync if you are comfortable going down that route.

2. They're just bluetooth ear buds, they work with every phone that supports bluetooth.

threentaway··on Raspberry Pi 4 can finally boot directly from USB
Agreed. I'd have it set up so that there is some local storage via a USB3 thumb drive to hold the container images, which anecdotally pretty easily hits 80MB/s for reads, often hovering in the 100-110MB/s range.
threentaway··on Raspberry Pi 4 can finally boot directly from USB
Right, I was referring to my parent comment that talked about pulling Docker images which come from the internet unless you set up a proxy.
threentaway··on Raspberry Pi 4 can finally boot directly from USB
The Pi4 can do 300-350mbps, which is faster than most people's internet connection.

https://github.com/badaix/snapcast this seems really cool, although I haven't got around to doing it myself.
threentaway··on Multiple DNS providers were attacked to take down Tutanota / Attack on privacy
This is a bummer, I really like their service -- especially for the price! Glad to see they were able to resolve the issue.
threentaway··on Nova by Panic
> has great gesture support for switching between applications.

There are keyboard shortcuts for those, which are even nicer imo. Reduces the amount of times you need to take your hands off the keyboard.
