  • What's the best piece of advice you were ever given?

    Jump

  • I thought it was, "feed a fever, starve a flu", because you probably shouldn't eat much when you can't keep anything down.

  • Yes, often. Between being in the car a lot since RTO mandates and being alone in the house a lot and needing to have some noise to help me focus on the task at hand, the radio is on a lot.

    I have the advantage of a great, local, non-profit radio station with real, local DJs that just talk normal. They play an abundance of local and emerging artists alongside classic artists. Since it's non-profit, there are no commercials other than a "sponsored by" message from time to time.

  • Do you feel that use of generative AI and LLMs is ever justifiable? If so, when and where? If not, why not?

  • I used it this year to write my performance self-review. It successfully turned my usual rambling but valid accomplishments into management friendly synergistic paradigms, saving me the anguish of doing it myself.

  • What phrases/sentences instantly reveal someone as a chud?

  • Is this why I'm blinded at night by oncoming vehicles? I just assumed that everyone just started driving with the hi-beams on all of a sudden.

    I win.

  • Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras. Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage.

    Jump

  • I would wonder if it would be illegal to promote your live of the country by hanging a giant flag directly in the viewing path of the camera. Would you get arrested for being too patriotic?

  • This is too defeatist for me. I am upset to see these all over town, but too small minded to do anything about it. I want to start something to pressure community leaders to change, but i worry that i'll make a lot of noise then drop it like i do with everything. I'd love to join with a group.

  • Agreed 100%. Enable parents, even not tech savvy parents, to parent. Ultimately, if the parent wants their kid to do whatever, they'll just create an adult account for their kid. Do we really want the government parenting our kids? Sure, it may be an improvement for some, but it's a slippery slope and could lead to a Brave New World.

  • Homeland Security has reportedly sent out hundreds of subpoenas to identify ICE critics online

    Jump

  • The minnesota attorney(ies) isn't pressing charges because they are derelict in their duty

    This then becomes a voter issue to install someone who will represent the people. Alternatively, protests to hold elected officials accountable to their duties or promises.

    democrats do that with every issue opposed by powerful interests they promised to do something about, they make a performative gesture, get stopped, then say well I tried

    I've seen this far too many times. Again, holding elected officials accountable may be the only way.

  • Homeland Security has reportedly sent out hundreds of subpoenas to identify ICE critics online

    Jump

  • I remember the "have fun with that" quote. It was oddly smug and childish, which is why it stuck out.

    Perhaps it's naive of me to think so, but I read that the Minnesota District Attorney is deliberately not pressing charges (at least for the 2 murders) until the chance of a presidental pardon is nil.

  • Homeland Security has reportedly sent out hundreds of subpoenas to identify ICE critics online

    Jump

  • I read a speculation somewhere that DHS want to declare all opposition to their activities as domestic terrorists and then remove their right to vote. There have been multiple articles detailing how the people who follow agents around and report their location are served papers later declaring them to be domestic terrorists and then they are placed on a no fly list. I'm sure more is to come. Reportedly, all the agents use facial recognition cameras to sweep the crowds for logging in a database, but another report suggests that the recognition part isn't working so well.

  • Push to repeal Section 230 raises stakes for how social media moderates content

    Jump

  • You could be right, but I read an opinion piece a while back that suggested that removal of 230 would allow the government to indirectly censor speech online by selectively punishing the platforms that don't moderate in the way that the administration would like. This may not be a problem under the current administration, but what if a wanabe dictator were to somehow become president?

  • I have something similar to host paths with node selectors: an NFS provisioner for PVs. The provisioner is tied to the node with the large disk. It's not resilient to node outages, but allows me to spread pods across the nodes. For my deployments, I'm preferring to use S3 storage wherever possible.

  • Excellent write-up. I had Nextcloud running on K3s with its files on a NAS which were shared with Minio and it worked well. I'm looking into Longhorn, but only have 2 nodes and it wants at least 3. I'm reevaluating my resiliency needs in favour of simplification.

  • How do you argue against "I have nothing to hide" in relation to privacy and security?

    Jump

  • While targeted advertisements may be nice because it's only showing you things that they think that you'll want/need/like, the other side of surveillance based advertising is surveillance pricing.

    Surveillance pricing analyzes massive troves of your personal information to predict the price you would be willing to pay for an item—and charge you accordingly. Retailers can charge a higher price when it thinks you can afford to spend more—on payday, for example. Or when you need something the most, such as in an emergency.

  • How do I peel a hard boiled egg?

    Jump

  • I'll second the fresh eggs part. We get our family's eggs from a farmer in the next town over. They said that week old eggs will peel much easier.

    FWIW, place week old eggs in a pot, cover with cool water, bring to a rolling boil, cover and remove from heat. Wait 20 minutes exactly, then dunk in cool water.

    As others have suggested, bang top and bottom of the egg, then roll gently on the countertop/table to crush all of the shell without piercing the membrane, then pierce through the membrane on the top of the egg where the air bubble is and peel from there. Most of the time the shell amd membrane comes off in one piece.

  • Do you backup your docker images?

    Jump

  • I've been looking to do this, but haven't found a good, easy to use pull thru proxy for docker, ghcr.io and some other registries. Most support docker only.

    This one looks promising but overly complicated to set up.

    A few times now, I've gone to restart a container and the repo's been moved, archived or paywalled. Other times, I'm running a few versions behind and the maintainer decided to not support it, but upgrading would mean a complete overhaul of my Helm values file. Ugh!

    I was considering a docker registry on separate ports for each upstream registry I'd like to proxy/cache.

  • How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

    Jump

  • I read an opinion piece that suggested that he is upset that Minnesota is the only blue state in a region of red. Given that Minnesota is primarily white, he felt that he could use the Somali fraud as a way to turn [white] people against the democrats using xenophobia.

    Edit: I found the article.
