Now we know how much it costs to make a $2,800 Dior bag
  • I used to work for a luxury brand in one of their "unnamed" locations in Eastern Europe. A pair of shoes would cost around 50€ to produce. We would then ship them to Italy, they would add the insole and laces, label them as "made in Italy" and sell them for 1k€+...

  • I make considerable ammounts of progress on Bussu learning Beginner's Spanish, but the final test is locked by a paywall.
  • I was reading through the comments here, and I went through OPs post history.

    It feels a lot like a neurodivergent person, maybe Autism of some kind. The post / questions appear weird to others, but they feel genuine. I live in a very neurodivergent home, and I kinda get it.

  • Can you have local reverse proxies?
  • Yup, I have a domain I purchased and on my lan I use PiHole and Caddy. All my apps and services use the format app.mydomain.com. PiHole forwards all requests for *.mydomain.com to Caddy, which handles the LE certificate (via DNS challenge) and forwards the requests to the proper IP:PORT. I started using this for everything, my Proxmox hosts, printer, my APs...

  • Signal’s founder warns Ukrainians about using Telegram. Here’s why
  • Reached for comment, a spokesperson for Telegram disputed that data is stored in plain text on the company’s servers, saying “everything stored in Telegram’s cloud is securely encrypted.” The spokesperson also said, “This kind of FUD is not surprising, coming from a minor competitor (and typical for this one). That said, we can confirm that we have neither developers, nor [servers] in Russia and we don’t see any of the mentioned risks.”

  • Parents with bilingual children, how did you do it?
  • Same. Grew up watching Cartoon Network, HBO and the Discovery Channel with no subs (or dubs, they are not a thing in RO). Then there was music (lyrics) and later on video games and the Internet. It helped not having any OS or software available in my native language. Even to this day I use my phone and computer in English.

    While I did have English classes at school (6th to 12th), the level was rather basic... I also took French for 10 years, and I can barely speak it. Otoh, I didn't take one Italian class, but I can speak some, and understand almost everything. Again, this is because we had a bunch of Italian TV channels in the early 90s.

  • best foss replacement for microsoft launcher?
  • I've never heard of Microsoft Launcher before... A lot of people seem to like Nova Launcher, I've used Lawnchair in the past, but nowadays I just don't care anymore, I use the Pixel default. I try to use as little Google stuff as possible, but the launcher is hassle free.

  • nice roll for a mechanitor starting scenario

    it's been a few quadrons for kaleun on the rim. it's a bit crowded now, 9 people and 8 mechs living in a couple of shacks... but we'll have to make due for now. she's a hard worker, sanguine, has a bunch of hobbies with no time to work on, but at least she's passionate about them :)

    (random plus generated, looking for passion in social & intellectual - this was roll 9900)

    FileList.io shutting down by the end of the year :( UPDATE: not anymore :)

    One of the best private trackers out there. Sorry to see it go... You can read the reasons why in the link (in Romanian and English).

    UPDATE: it's no longer shutting down:

Your words have always mattered, and we've never been indifferent to them. Your voice has been heard, even now. > >I am delighted to announce that the website will not be shutting down! >Donations are now reactivated, so everything is returning back to normal. > >One of the founders of the website, God, is back and will take over the technical aspect to ensure the site continues to thrive. He is trustworthy, loyal, and things will certainly go well from this point of view. >However, we also needed someone to take care of the other aspects of the work. From now on, Oana will handle everything related to the staff, server payments, and all the internal matters that a SysOp does. She will get promoted to the SysOp class. She is more than capable and competent to maintain control and ensure that everything runs smooth internally. Congratulations! > >Together, they will continue the necessary work to keep this website alive. > >That being said, this announcement will be my last. I, EboLLa, am permanently retiring from the community. >I want to personally thank you all for all the private messages and wishes you've sent me.
