That's great news!

Ukraine currently has fewer than 1,000 terminals connecting to Eutelsat's network, but Berneke [Eutelsat CEO] said the company aims to increase this to between 5,000 and 10,000 "relatively fast."

A Eutelsat spokesperson, Joanna Darlington, said discussions are ongoing regarding further funding from Germany and the EU.

Starlink, which provides service to over 50,000 Ukrainian military, medical, and civilian users, has faced uncertainty over continued access.

Excellent work. Will be interesting to see how "relatively fast" plays out, and if other countries step up.
Musk cannot be relied upon as a military ally. Well, for some governments at least...

What does your comment add to the discussion, letsdonthink?

I've heard an Epstein Salt Bath is also particularly invigorating

Discovering a new artist or album is great.
Tidals personalised daily discovery and weekly new releases are fantastic for this, much better than anything I can remember on spotify. Their "mixes for you" are also decent.
I haven't tried qobuz yet

DNS and domains are just human-friendly IP addresses.

You only have 1 public IP address.
So, to access different services you need to use different ports.
Or run a service on a single port in front of the other services that can understand the connections and forward the connections to the actual services - known as a reverse proxy. In the case of http/https, there are plenty of reverse proxies that can direct requests based on all sorts of parameters, subdomains being one of them.

If you are just starting out, I'd recommend a docker compose stack and Nginx Proxy Manager.
Learning containers & docker makes everything easier.
NPM is a very easy to use reverse proxy with a nice GUI, so you don't have to configure CertBot/ACME or learn the specific config language of Nginx.

If you are unsure of domains and all that, you can try it out for free.
Your computer has a hosts file (/etc/hosts on Linux, I think it's in system32 on windows). This allows you to tell the computer "for the domain example.com use the IP 10.0.0.200" or whatever you want. You need a hosts file entry for each subdomain.
What this means is that you can run up a docker compose stack on your computer and point a bunch of sub domains to 127.0.0.1, use self-signed certs, and play around with nginx proxy manager and docker.
No money spent, no records published, no traffic leaving your computer.
Zero risk.

There are loads of tutorials out there on NPM and docker compose stacks. Probably some close to your specific requirements.

Not a lawyer.
But how to "cover your ass".

If pressured to still send a quote with it included, ask your manager to email over the details - ie get it in writing.
You are looking for them to tell you to include this unprovidable service in the quote as part of the details/instructions.
IE your manager to tell you to do the unethical thing in writing.
And respond back along the lines of "as discussed, we can't provide this service and can't procure it from the upstream provider. However I will do as instructed and email the quote to the customer with this service included".
This is indicating that you have discussed it (ideally save any other emails about this subject).
If your boss emails back "we haven't discussed this", then raise the issue in writing and don't send the quote until it is resolved by email (if your boss talks to you in person, feel free to send a "follow up" email outlining what you discussed and ask for clarification).
If your boss emails back "do as you are told", then do as you are told.
Save all the emails.

BCC to a personal account will be seen in server logs. Better to export backups or take screenshots and put them on a USB. Or ZIP them with a password and find a way to exfil them without raising red flags if USB devices are restricted. There are many ways to do this, I'm sure I can suggest some.

Generally, working under instruction where your pushback might lead to termination generally results in unfair dismissal and settlements.
Especially if you can prove that you have raised the issue, and still been told to proceed.

It doesn't sound like this is a risk-to-life or risk-to-public scenario, so I don't think "whistle blower" procedures are needed.

Doesn't even have to be an instance.
Custom code that runs the pubsub protocol... Without publishing anything.
Everything is open.
Unless instance admins find the ~~pub~~sub instance suspicious and defederate it, at which point it won't be able to receive posts/comments

I found that a very difficult video to watch, the editting really grated on my nerves.

However, it is a pretty damn accurate breakdown of an imagine dragons song, and the end result is pretty good.

  1. Sweat.
  2. Blood.
  3. Saliva.
  4. Urine.
  5. Semen.
  6. Vaginal discharge (is there a better name for this?).
  7. ... Tears? Or is it diarrhea?

Just give the migrants $100k each?
Where DOGE on all this? I presume rescheduling NASAs priorities to mars, Department of Transports priorities to Teslas, and making sure the FCC is pushing starlink... no doubt

How is funding? (self.meta)
submitted 1 week ago by towerful to c/meta
 

I've been here a while, and I appreciate the community and the defed/hiding list.
I also know programming.dev contributes to upstream Lemmy repos.

I saw another post about another instances funding.
Which reminded me....

Is programming.dev on track for funding?
Need some more donations?
Is there a runway?
