Unrelated, this is a good thing to hear, I have an old MacBook air 2012 lying around, a supported OS would be handy to make use of the hardware still being in excellent condition.

On places like Bluesky, most articles, videos or news content I’d share would have more to do with how much I trust the person posting or sharing it than with its main body of content. I figure that someone I value has read it, and so I skip it, because reading it would feel like work and I have to deal with enough of that as it is.

Not to mention, “You won’t believe this one cool thing!” type headlines (like this one) are classic clickbaiting, and nobody wants to read a 10 page article that’s basically just advertising.

Thanks man, that’s some solid advice even if my work is a lot more pliable for security. I’d also say that compliance and risk are very good motivation, if you can nmap the servers and SSH in with default credentials and zero alarms during, that could cost millions in data loss, compliance fines, and recovery efforts. Show them solid figures and it’s a hell of a motivator.

It’s funny how people make such sweeping generalisations like they’re prophetic or something. Are some people shit? Sure, some suck at their jobs, and some are arseholes. Does that make all of them evil incarnate? Fuck no.

It’s pretty common in Australia, so long as we’re not swearing at people nobody gives a fuck. I’d say unless your manager has mentioned it to you, it’s not a huge deal.

Google firebase would be the likely answer for serverless architecture, won’t pretend I know anything more to help than that sorry

I’m on jerbora as well and can see the previous person’s pronouns, but it could be an instance specific thing.

Fair enough, it must have just been a fluke I saw a few posts like this in a row

On a tangent, is it just me, or has there been a notable uptick in this type of question? Feels a lot like astroturfing, but so far as I can see there’s been no malicious intent

That’s actually a really interesting part of AI I’d never considered to be a threat, thanks for sharing the link!

If you can optimise those by doing small task while waiting, e.g. when the microwave/oven is running, while you’re watching TV etc. then you can effectively do chores without losing time as well

Depending on the country, your tax laws may also let you get the full cost of job related education and conferences back. I was lucky enough that my employment funded the bulk for me, but in Australia it’s a solid way to keep learning once you’re in the field you’re after.

That’s pretty standard for country celebrations I’d bet - around Australia Day we have plenty of people flying flags, but the day after it’s back to normal

Then why not start with those ones?

Even with the radioactive waste material, in 20 years that will just be more fuel for fission reactors. Even taking into account the deaths from atomic bombs, the death rate from nuclear materials is a factor of a few hundred lower than coal power.

I’ve found if you accidentally take a spam call it can be fun to string them along and waste their time for a good 30m if you’ve got time to kill, the humour is great but it also gets you blacklisted for a while and they stop calling

I think they mean to ask for honest feedback, it’s quite possible your lack of success is linked to the mindset you have. Expecting to fail us one of the most common reasons to fail, but knowing that success requires a lot of failure is a much healthier approach.

Have you you tried therapy to work through some of these issues? It’s helped me quite a lot

While it’s a pretty good vpn all round that’s super easy to set and forget, I’ve been having issues the last ~6 months in Australia with the CIDR ranges getting blocked by Google, Reddit, and the like. It’s annoying to have it run fine for a few days, then suddenly have every second thing I do needing to solve a captcha for it.

Try the freemium tier for a while and see if it works for you - I may be wrong and you’ll run a whole month with nothing, but never hurts to verify.

You can also literally solve problems with a computer lying around - bitcoin mining isn’t very useful, but you can contribute to science https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volunteer_computing_projects

Read up on your local laws, in Australia for example it’s required that 3 basic methods of cash, cheque, and bank transfer are accepted, may be something similar for you
