Glad we have Musk being the arbiter of who can use the Internet or not.

Shit like this is the primary reason I'm never going to use Starlink.

There's always going to be vulnerabilities, that's why they're ending support. They don't want to spend time updating an OS they don't want people using.

Windows 10 is probably fairly secure... today. In 2 years, someone might discover a new vulnerability, and you won't get the update. If there's a new way to do web security and the browsers need OS support to implement it, you'll be stuck on legacy security settings.

This organization lets you donate to someplace locally, and pairs it with a remote organization that provides way more benefit for the dollar.

If you use specific codes, it adds a little extra as well. This one is the link through the Ologies podcast.

Well, unfortunately many other countries aren't looking at the USA as a warning, but as an example.

The right wing is gaining ground in a lot of places that should know better.

He's clearly walking west.

If you buy in the dip, that means you have extra money that's not invested.

If you have extra money not invested cause you're waiting for a dip, then you're not getting investment returns from the very long period of time we're not in a dip.

Even if you could predict the future, and determine when the bottom of a dip is so you could put all your money in, you're still going to come out worse than if you just invested in the first place.

I need the cable company (or similar) due to the fact that infrastructure is hard to deploy, and we need Internet to participate in society.

Nobody needs Microsoft cause every single one of their products has an alternative that's at least as good.

They survive by courting enterprises, but many of them can also switch away if they want.

Most likely blue are the input nodes and green are the output nodes.

I use rsync to backup, I can delete and restore the whole drive if i want at any time.

I use watchtower to keep things updated. If you schedule the rsync and watchtower correctly, you can get the backup done before the upgrade and there's basically no lost data with the rollback.

I use uptime Kuma for monitoring, and it shoots me an email with details on what failed.

It's entirely possible to do what they wanted, but there's really no point in a crawlspace like that.

You just have to cut no more than 1/3 the size of the joist, and stay at least 2" from the edge.

This would require a lot of planning and redoing all the plumbing, but it's possible.

Most plumbers would probably say "sure, I'll do that but it'll cost you" cause this job would be a super pain in the ass.

I automate my upgrades, but I also automate my backups, and monitoring.

If an upgrade breaks something, my health monitor lets me know and I can roll back to the previous day.
