I feel like this wouldn’t reduce costs, since the load is the same, but just moved to a different daemon, in this case nginx. I for one, pay for bandwidth on my VPS, so the cost for me would be the same.

One thought I’ve had, is to use a slow loris technique combined with a small pool of connections and an ai poisoner, to keep the scraper occupied for as long as possible, without using a lot of bandwidth.

Man, I know that feeling. One thing that helped me better deal with issues like this, was to have a changelog. Basically I write down what a setting was, what I changed it to and a reason. If something goes wrong, I can at least undo what changes I’ve made and see if it helps. It’s not perfect, but it might shave some hours off a RCA.

I would be devestated! Music is one of the things that make me feel grounded and without it, my life would absolutely be less normal.

I’ve been on Linux for the past 30 years or so, so yes it’s kind of new to me.

Absolutely agree. I have been thinking of starting a selfhost guide that takes you through the different ways to selfhost and the basic concepts of it, but gave up because I’m a shit writer and my experiences are mostly docker, k8s and Terraform/OpenTofu.

This is unfortunately insanely common in a lot of companies. I literally cannot count the number of passwords that I’ve had to update, from a combo of the company name and a four digit number, usually bigger than 2000.

JFC, inheritance tax much? Get your shit together.

I run a pretty barebone Archlinux with several distroboxes. My main motivation for this setup is that I work on a lot of different projects that all have very different setups. Running them in distroboxes make sure I can just drop the box, once the project is finished, and all code and data is just wiped, without having any impact on my main setup.

Velvet talons

My current project has a crontab with 216 entries.

Swedish BankID and most banking apps work on grapheneos and lineageos. The only exception I know of is Revolut that just refuses to work on grapheneos.

Drone debris is no joke. Most likely they don’t destroy them to avoid damage to their infrastructure.

So basically kidnapping and extortion.

Now would be the time for a scramble suit startup.

Yeah, not for long, I’m quitting this company as soon as I can.

At work we have the following quote on the fridge

“A ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the “quantity” group: fifty pound of pots rated an “A”, forty pounds a “B”, and so on. Those being graded on “quality”, however, needed to produce only one pot — albeit a perfect one — to get an “A”. Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the “quantity” group was busily churning out piles of work – and learning from their mistakes — the “quality” group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay.”

We are a software development company and my reply to this was basically that pot making hasn’t changed in a long time, it’s basically shaping and firing clay. Software development is comparatively new and has a vastly more dynamic landscape.

Also, the comparison is stupid because we don’t write code, realize it was shit and write a new one. If we did business like that, we wouldn’t be in business.

I use it sparingly and only to automate things I know how to do very well, so reviewing its work become easier.

Yes, always!

Pretty sure it’s gonna be the stake

Noop, you have to install the man-db package
