I did this once, it was legitimate but he refused to tell me even what department he called from. I said i wasn't going to give personal into to an incoming call and i wasn't calling back unless i knew why. He ended up mailing me a letter instead.

I almost got scammed a few years ago by being called about fraudulent activity the day after i reported fraudulent activities, in hindsight I think they just got lucky with timing, but I take no chances now.

Ever noticed how decades ago if someone defeated a bank's security we called it bank robbery, but now it's called identity theft and we get blamed for it.

It's taken me a while to learn how to use it and where it works best but I'm coming around to where it fits.

Just today i was doing a new project, i wrote a couple lines about what i needed and asked for a database schema. It looked about 80% right. Then asked for all the models for the ORM i wanted and it did that. Probably saved an hour of tedious typing.

The town i used to live in, population 180,000, has a big park right outside the centre. It's got a lake, open grass, a small wood. It's a very nice park. Always busy.

The west edge is bordered by a 7ft wire fence and beyond it is a golf course 2.5x larger than the park. At a glance it looks very similar except this land is reserved for the exclusive use of ~500 members.

It's not really an option for renters, tenants aren't going to pay for solar panels on someone else's house and landlords wouldn't get any benefit.

I'd rather see public investment in grid installations that can benefit everyone, not just the poorest who were rich enough to buy a house, along with reforming the energy market so pay what the energy actually cost and not as if it was all gas.

Another one for immich but I'm also running immich-public-proxy. It proxies just the share links so the entire instance isn't public.

My last job did this. They offered more for those who had worked there longer. People with over 15 years got about a years pay and they all took it. People who had been there under a year got nothing so they all stayed.

I was going to take then they withdrew the offer for all devs. I think a lot tried to take it and they realised no one would be left. I would have got 3-4 months pay. Loads of institutional knowledge lost though, i left anyway a few months later.

Since before bitcoin we've had Faster Payments in UK. I can transfer money directly to anyone else's bank account and it's effectively instant. It's also free. Venmo and cashapp don't serve a purpose here.

US and allies were first world, Soviets and allies were the second world, everyone else was third world.

I've given up asking. I've been on the site since 2008, the last time i asked something and actually got an answer was 2017.

My wife has a Windows 10 laptop that doesn't support 11. It's the only non-Linux computer we own. She doesn't use it much because it's slow. I can't convince her she'd be fine with Linux.

I love this about Nix. Had a case this year where I'd hit a bug in the upstream, I fixed it and submitted a PR but then could reference that PR directly for the patch file until a new release finally made it out.

 

We're using Terraform to manage our AWS infrastructure and the state itself is also in AWS. We've got 2 separate accounts for test and prod and each has an S3 bucket with the state files for those accounts.

We're not setting up alternate regions for disaster recovery and it's got me wondering if the region the terraform S3 bucket is in goes down then we won't be able to deploy anything with terraform.

So what's the best practice for this? Should we have a bucket in every region with the state files for the projects in that region but then that doesn't work for multi-region deployments.
