It isn’t a magic solution, no, but you have a lot more control than crummy layer 3 firewall rules and endless lists.

The big players have far more data about what bad looks like. Either we can play whack a mole with outdated tools and techniques or get smart and learn to use what is available.

Self hosting doesn’t mean we go backward in terms of the sophistication and difficulty, it means embracing modern solutions.

In the dinosaur days, we had primitive tools, but so did the attackers. We cannot hope to self host with any measure of security if we bring piss to a shitfight.

They all sit on each others boards.

However it just takes a few activist board members who have big time fomo and want to be early in with a virtual CEO.

I’m sure I will be put out to pasture first, but at least I will be laughing from my cardboard box.

Lie to employees, absorb money, travel needlessly, tell everyone to RTO when they are never in the office, take a fat bonus, fire people, bullshit the board and stockholders, pull ripcord on golden parachute, lather rinse repeat.

Yeah, i think an ai could handle most of that.

Because mike Meyers is entertaining and the movies are well-made goofy fun.

Its not so complicated. Also, does anyone still make comedy anymore? Seems like it has fallen off a lot.

Get a WAF. Sophos firewall is free if you want to diy. If not, use cloudflare.

Opening ports, logging, monitoring, nailing up allow listed IP addresses and dicking around with fail2ban is such a timesuck. None of that crap will stop something from exploiting a vulnerability.

Some things are worth farming out to a 3rd party. Plus, you can just point your DNS entry over and be mostly done. No more dynamic IP bs.

See, this is so true!

Now someone tell my wife that using a fuck machine in my my ass and nipple clips is super reasonable!

Please and thank you.

I’m very well aware, but the apple folks tend to be a LOT more dogmatic and vocal. When people talk shit about android, nobody really cares. Do it to apple? Jfc.

I am pointing this out because the current mess will never change for the better until apple users stop supporting apple. No, you dont have a lot of choices, but stop signaling support for them. Get mad and demand better. Be vocal about THAT.

Well, companies are using ai to delete our resumes so I’m all for blasting them with fully automated ai submissions.

Just keep submitting and iterating, eventually one will get through.

In the end, we are battling HR on our turf. If we can’t beat these clowns, we deserve to be jobless.

All the apple fans out down voting today…

FYI this may not be the time to take allegiance with them if you at all understand what is going on.

Seriously, I was em dashing on a goddamn typewriter, the fuck am I gonna change it now.

In the end, it won’t matter. Being able to write well will be like riding a horse, calligraphy or tuning a carburetor. They will all become hobbies, a quirky past time of rich people or niche enthusiasts with limited real-world use.

Maybe it is for the best. Most people can’t write for shit (does not help that we often use our goddamn thumbs to do most of it) and we spend countless hours in school trying to get kids to learn.

Science fiction has us just projecting our thoughts to other without the clumsiness of language as the medium. Maybe this is just the first step.

Not to defend it, but the first time I encountered the term was when BlackBerry released their Playbook tablet. It ran their bbos10 and they created an android emulator so you could run some android apps. The process of installing the apk into the emulator was called sideloading.

I miss BlackBerry is all I really wanted to say.

Just because they stock them doesn’t mean everyone has to buy them.

Also, which is it? You have to pay more for neat colors or non-colors have a higher resale? Can’t be both.

I can say that when I bought my car (used) it was about $2000 more than equivalent cars because it is bright green. All the bland colors were always cheaper.

I’m willing to believe that dealers charge more for colors, but its clear that they carry more value. You dont need 20 people to buy a used car, just one.

I did a search on cargurus for Subaru crosstreks and corvettes. Blue for each, white for each. There are always fewer blue in both cases and they are in all but a few cases, more expensive.

We had a house like that. We often called it FleshTone. Sometimes Band-Aid.

We repainted the first week after we moved in. Yeech.

All gray is bad.

Enough with black, white and gray. If I see another b/w/g Tesla model Y I’m going to puke on it just so it has some color.

Quit being a pussy and get a purple car, a green car, orange, whatever.

Y’all gonna die one day and nobody will be on their death bed saying “wow, I am so happy that I avoided color my whole life, I win”.

I will never ever get tired of this meme template.

I got a lot out of Wright’s book and I continue to revisit it.

It is a slow read that demands your attention, but it is very enlightening.

Correct. In the case of the question, I believe there is value to be gained, even if there are flaws in the argument.

Dear brother/sister rest your mind. You cannot control what will happen and worry/fear will only agitate you.

I don’t like the idea of life being over, but it is inevitable. Seek acceptance and peace with this so you do not waste your precious hours with unnecessary discomfort. There is so much more to enjoy while we are still here!

Loss of life is followed by mourning - except when it is our own. Some spend decades mourning the end of their lives because they are scared of facing it down. You’ve done the big scary part already. Now spend the time taking yourself through all of your fears. Once you come to acceptance it doesn’t change what will be, but it will trouble you a lot less.
