I mean a good CNC mill could last you a lifetime, just saying.

Past tense bro. There are new chicken nuggets out though as of about 2 days ago.

I really want to know more about these gloves that have inspired this level of dedication but if you tell me about them I’m probably going to go buy them.

So, possible, but they probably won’t. Anything can happen at any time and you could do everything right and it could all fail spontaneously and catastrophically through no fault of your own. Its not a likely outcome though.

It only seems reckless until you step back and think about it rationally. You can’t expect to prepare for everything so spend your time on more legitimate worries.

Seconding other comments, you’ll never ever be financially ready, there will always be new concerns, but that was true for most parents. People far less intelligent and less prepared than you have figured it out and done alright.

We’re just going to have to spend the next 20 years researching each model to figure out whether it was made by nissan guys in nissan plants or honda guys in honda plants. It will probably realistically be functionally separated for a long time. Hopefully, everything will settle closer to honda quality.

Thats where I’m at, I thought it was fairly obvious it was doing this and theres a hundred extensions like this. Are real people surprised this is how it works?

I’m conflicted on the projects like that one right now. It’s super clever to monitor the network traffic for specific dash buttons trying to reach out, but it also feels super janky and I don’t feel like I can justify putting the effort to set that up when it just feels so fragile. Especially with the caveat that if the amazon block you have to setup for it fails then the device just becomes a paperweight.

Genius idea, but I’m going to hold out for the unlikely possibility of someone figuring out a firmware level hack.

Amazon was effectively giving them away for free for a large portion of their lifespan. You’d have deals where you’d pay for them and then get a coupon for actually using them equal to the purchase price. I feel like I even remember a few times where the coupon you got worked out to slightly more than you paid for the button. Basically, saying that someone ‘bought’ one was usually only partially true.

They did have a few legitimately good uses. Had to have something that needed restocking sporadically but you also didn’t think about often and could wait 2-3 days to receive when you realized you were out. A lot of prerequisites there, I used the ones for trash bags and detergent often.

It’s mostly just a shame the amount of ewaste produced at this point. I still have a box full somewhere in hopes of finding a use case.

If you’re interviewing with someone under 40, the interviewer is going to look you up on social media. Almost definitively, I do not know anyone who doesn’t do a quick google search before the interview. May or may not be anything official at an HR level, and for me personally, unless I see something crazy and you’re in a visible role, I’m probably not going to say anything.

We had a guy once who thought his social media was private and he was very wrong. Their interests were stacked pretty heavily towards weed and guns. Would not be a huge problem if it was private and they were able to abstain long enough to satisfy the potential drug screen, but with the amount of visibility, if anything came up, people might start searching for someone to blame for not doing their due diligence when hiring and my team would probably end up being the scapegoat.

As far as the drug screen specifically, I do not understand the methodology HR uses to determine whether someone needs to be drug screened during on-boarding. Maybe they know something I don’t, but it seems completely random.

tl;dr: Someone will almost definitely go through it and unless it’s actually for real private, you probably aren’t as clever as you think in hiding it. The bar though for social media in my experience is pretty low.

On the other hand, every person who has killed a United Healthcare CEO has played Among US, checkmate.

It sounds like you’re getting into the keeping it running phase.

First, going back to your previous comment, self-hosting email is difficult. It’s not hard for a small provider to end up blacklisted and you’re probably kind of just done at that point and it will feel very unfair. I get that it’s a fun set of technical challenges, but you couldn’t pay me enough to help someone self-host email.

Second, guessing, but it sounds like you may be trying to expose your services directly and doing a lot to make that work which goes against what most would recommend for hosting your own services. Big companies don’t expose their intranet like that, follow their example. Almost every guide or system is going to warn against that. If you’re going to host more than one thing, highly recommend focusing on minimizing entry points and looking into a VPN-like solution for accessing most if not all of your services. Still spend time on securing your intranet, but most of your risk is going to come from how hard it is for people to get past the front door (or doors).

We already have that, the first problem is we have like a dozen of them, a few are even well supported. The second problem is that usually the technical knowledge required to set up the systems are still lower than the technical knowledge required to keep it running.

You’re not wrong, but if we want companies to keep doing things for good PR, we need to reward them for it.

They’re basically giant badly trained dogs that happen to control every aspect of our lives.

They work, but it’s expensive and POC stage. They’re mostly just not scaled to the level that we think we can take them to.

Not wrong, but they fucked up due to incompetence, not just some random preventable accident.

From the technical details I’ve seen, just having a basic testing process/environment should have easily prevented this. That should be the bare minimum.

Man, it took me a while to figure out you were on about the dude’s username. I was real confused.

I agree that lemmy shouldn’t take it on itself, but I do think deeper integration into other foss systems is not a bad plan. Being able to integrate a matrix instance directly with a lemmy instance would be fancy and I think exploring stuff like that further could be the key to finally getting us beyond just seeking parity with reddit.

I mean shit right? Where can I get some of that tea?

It’s kinda sad to see Mongolia now. Not a lot going on, almost completely dependent on China.
