What's your relationship like with your grandparents?
  • Both grandpas are dead but all 4 are amazing and I wish I saw my grandma's more. I never learned a ton about their past first hand besides my dad's dad who told me about Korea. I mostly talk about what's going on not the past. Sometimes it feels like seeing a teacher or coach outside of school when we talk about the past because you saw them as grandparents and not normal people.

  • I am 40 and a nurse. Would it be more beneficial to get a cyber security degree? Instead of bouncing around the countries as a traveling nurse?
  • I don't think so. You need to get a large amount of training before you can make a comparable salary, and if you do get a high paying cyber security job there's still a good chance of it being stressful. You can see if you like it using the free tier of try hack me, and if you love it and can afford to take the paycut it might make sense but you are probably better off finding a way to use your existing skills than aquiring new ones

  • Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim
  • The issue isn't how it's built or based on its that Microsoft can use its control of the os to make it extremely difficult to avoid it.

  • It’s Time to Stop Taking Sam Altman at His Word
  • AI is worse than crypto. Most crypto projects use proof of stake which is way more resource efficient than mining. Also the mining that does happen usually happens where there is excess generation instead of azure datacenters

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
  • I believe mods tried this and reddit purged the mods when subreddits only allowed John Oliver images.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Android can be configured to require a pin after a reboot which is an ok compromise if you want to invoke the fifth amendment

  • Why does one party keep interfering with voting?
  • Tom Scott does a great job of explaining this. Tr;Dr is paper ballots are a mature process that has the benefit of requiring physical access to tamper with, and governments who aren't great at IT and only do something at scale once 4 years is asking for trouble

  • Oopsie, Visual Studio License expired, so the build server stopped working
  • If you look at it as generic could provider it's not good, but if you look at it as making m$ run they're software instead of you it's awesome because most m$ software is not fun to run

  • Photo Solution Suggestions Needed
  • Immich is the best photo solution I have used and has been really easy to setup. Nextcloud apps are usually ok but usually have a more specialized alternative

  • Porting systemd to musl libc-powered Linux
  • I want to try alpine out but the lack of systemd support is a blocker since I don't want to add openrc support to all my Ansible playbooks that rely on systemd services and timers

  • Elasticsearch is open source, again
  • Usually in the observability space it is primarily based on the volume of data and sometimes seat count. Especially if it's freemium like elastic where users can get an idea of volume by running a POC of the free version. Companies do this because of small teams who deploy large infra that would make contracts unprofitable

  • Advice for a newbie - Multiple drives setup
  • You can edit the /etc/fstab or setup systemd mounts so all the files are mounted at the correct spot at startup. Different drives are mounted to folders on Linux instead of drive letters like on windows. Before you reboot, make sure everything works by running mount -a otherwise you will have to rescue the system

  • Betrayal of the highest order
  • Somehow that was a bigger emotional blow than finding out pro wrestling is fake

  • Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry?
  • When it is the cause of a problem it's not always obvious at first so you spend hours troubleshooting the broken app until you look at DNS and a simple DNS issue

  • How do you get over a crush?
  • Make sure your romantic life isn't the only thing you are focused on. make sure you are doing things that you enjoy and spending time with people you care about. If you have a good social network any 1 part can have problems and they will suck but it's not losing everything which makes it suck way less.

  • Steam Deal: Save 80% on Far Cry® 4 on Steam ($5.99)
  • But all I did was sit there and enjoy some crab Rangoon https://youtu.be/ZTBN_788284?si=FvoH6PkckhmS1sgb

  • What do you use to backup files from your phone to Google Drive? Is there anything that can permanently delete the old files?
  • Altispeed technologies sells both otherwise I'm not familiar with anyone else that does it since I self host
