I quit my company a week ago because as a company of 13 people the communication at all levels was so poor compared to my previous job working with over 20 and several departments. I’m not usually one to judge people’s degrees, but our boss has a biosciences and GIS degree and somehow wandered their way into software management and has the biggest superiority complex I’ve ever seen. These people plague the software development landscape so, my condolences for your CEO who is probably too busy looking at golf clubs and scheduling tee times while writing up an email about how hard executive management works to get back to you.

I didn’t necessarily mean that you or your name is in there. But, if someone were to obtain a sample of your DNA, they would see partials matches to your family members, and then they would be able to use public records to see additional family members and narrow down to you, siblings, cousins, and other extended family as a list of potential matches that they would have to then verify as a match.

Enough people have already given DNA for ancestry based DNA matches to highly narrow down to most individuals if your DNA isn’t already in a database. It’s already too late.

Mike DeWine and his gang of criminals have 0 respect or shred of integrity and ethical province. His old PUCO chairman got indicted today from back in 2019 with the FirstEnergy scandal. Ohio republicans are a fucking scourge.

I’ll grab the popcorn! Who wants butter?!

It’s worth it when you can have it (forever). There’s always some price of admission, nothing in piracy is ever really free. You can certainly circumvent any blockades with a VPN and find a way to use crypto to fund the paid plan.

Spotify streaming quality isn’t great anyway. Choose a different streaming service like Tidal which has actively maintained tools to get what you need

Some Netflix shows that are in 4K have not been showing up in private trackers lately

If you get a YouTube music subscription can you use it to rip higher bitrate audio? I thought free videos bitrate was capped, I’m just using yt-dlp to archive videos/channels at the moment

You should always use a VPN, doesn’t matter if the tracker is public or private. And yes, better selection, seeding requirements, and better speeds.

Likely not, but I’m happy and sad that this seems to be a common scenario.

Sharpening the résumé as we speak

Dump it into ec2-type lol. It’s not a product that can or should be cloud native without becoming a security nest of hornets for customer cybersecurity departments.

Our solutions architect is like this. Not because we’re working on anything important at the moment, but because we keep pushing back important upgrades further and further, making each day a more challenging operation to keep our rickety-ass distributed monolith alive.

We were supposed to upgrade from Java 8 on Springboot 2.1 to 17 on Springboot 3. That got wiped off the table because the bosses think shoving our inefficient solution into a cloud product is what will attract customers.

Looks around. You guys are still streaming?

Once I’m back in a house and have a garage I’m definitely going to try out roasting. What do you use?

I only use Tailscale to remote into my network devices. Everything else I access with Cloudflare, haven’t had any issues with it.

I feel like we’re seeing the inherent flaws of the fediverse here in some aspects. A completely democratic spread or spread in general of communities doesn’t seem like it’s going to work. Real people and infrastructure are behind making sure instances with communities that serve large amounts of user requests stay up and operable. Infrastructure costs people and money, and people with right skills and fundraising skills are not evenly distributed.

If an instance touts itself to be a mega-instance, that’s one thing. Lemmy is still a confusing place to understand if I should create my own community or join one. Some communities and instances have a lot more % active users and moderators than others.

People are also lazy. Hosting your own instance is “easy” until you have a popular community, or handful of popular communities. Unless you treat it like a job, not a whole lot of people are interested in spending time figuring out fundraising and dev ops to ensure their community can deal with future user growth.

Money, talent, and physical infrastructure aren’t evenly and fairly available. So it makes it difficult to produce a federated universe that doesn’t reflect these things.

Can’t expect new users to go down the rabbit hole of trying to understand what instance they should make an account on. All instances will grow over time and we are seeing a lot of unevenness because of factors stated above. Instances will surely balance out as time goes on, so I think whoever is prematurely attacking large instances—whether they are doing so for fediverse axiom related issues or not—is making fundamental mistakes of fediverse theory.

Wire distribution tool. It’s a tool you can use to both evenly distribute the grounds in your portafilter as well as break up any static clumps.
