Anyone know if Google Voice is encrypted? I can read copies of my texts online so I’m thinking no. I’ve felt like the service has outlived its usefulness for me and that would be the final straw.

I call it a “necessary evil”.

All I know is that your possessions tend to grow to match your surroundings. I used to live in 1100sqft and now I live in double that. Everything got bigger and more numerous. It’s really hard not to desire variety in your surroundings and to have everything you want at your fingertips.

This one also a bit chilling:

A data scientist can tell most of someone’s life story given their zip code, and we try not to think too hard about why that’s always the most predictive feature in the model.

Right. When a request comes in, Traefik, for one, will hold the connection until the service is back up then forward the request as usual. This works for UIs as well. You’ll get a temporary loading page then redirected to the requested UI when the service is up.

It probably would work well with those as long as the startup time was quick (my containers come up almost instantly) and the initiating clients can handle a bit of latency. I didn’t notice any hiccups in my use at all.

Not useful on its own but https://sablierapp.dev/ was really useful for me in getting back resources from some of the heavyweight containers I use. For those unfamiliar with it, Sablier can stop containers that go idle and then spin them back up automatically when a request comes in. It requires Traefik, NGINX, or Caddy running always so it could complicate your server but for me I couldn’t do without it.

What year is it?

I just became a subscriber on Patreon.

For starters, blaming a lot of our woes on illegal immigrants when there’s no indication they significantly contribute to crime. I say significantly because it’s not zero but as a demographic they’re very law abiding. Not to mention unemployment is incredibly low (considered to be “full employment”) so whatever jobs they “stole” Americans apparently found another one.

Took me a while but I learned one of my managers is highly likely to shoot down any idea that isn’t his. So during planning sessions I started describing partial ideas and pretending I didn’t know how to solve the last leg of the problem so he could jump in and say, “Oh, what if we did…” Still kind of pisses me off I have to feign ignorance but since I started doing that things have gone way smoother.

Not used up per se but sequestered. It’s water that nobody will ever get to drink or use for crops, etc.

It’s not fully selfhosted but I did setup my own runner that integrates with their site.

Obviously the fault of too many studies. /s

AI takes the core directive of “encourage climate friendly solutions” a bit too far.

Maybe a dumb question but what kind of case do you have? Hopefully not metal because I had some crazy wifi behavior before I realized the case was either dampening the signal or capturing too much noise.

It’s past time to delete X. The platform is just as bad as it was a year ago. People couldn’t be bothered to do the simplest fucking thing until they realize, “Whoops! I was supporting fascism!”

Lenny was insanely effective and didn’t even need AI.

This only makes sense when the owner of the platform isn’t actively driving the conversation to the right.

On one hand that’s a good thing.

On the other hand you had to wait for our government to go fascist to start making the bare minimum of effort so here’s a temporary “Go Fuck Yourself” from those of us that knew enough to leave two years ago.
