Yeah focused work is great and pomodoro timers can help you achieve it by breaking out down into smaller chunks. But this image was just grating to read, and it seemed to imply only working 3 hours per day.

Not everyone has the luxury of choosing where they work. People need to eat. Are some people complacent? Sure. But that doesnt mean every person working at Microsoft is a horrible person.

I’m forgetting the episode but darknet diaries podcast had one where a guy took revenge against a former employer and wiped out an entire schools email system and wiped all phones that has logged into the school email. This was done from compromising the school’s outlook admin account.

That was the first time i learned that logging into the employer email could give them the level of control over your device. Fortunately i never have done that for the #2 reason.

Agree. I had that much garlic last night

I just returned it, but my idea was a separate VLAN and block all connections except for whitelisted ones for streaming. Smart tvs/rokus/etc do a lot of talking and they could theoretically brick themselves if there isn’t an internet connection available.

The future is a wonderful place!

Last tv i bought wouldn’t let you set it up without connecting to the internet. Guess we’ll need open hardware tvs next if they don’t aleady exist

My health insurance denied covering my vasectomy so i put it off. Later that year i was in an accident and hit my max out of pocket pretty quick. I called up my doctor and had them resubmit the preauthorization. got it covered at 100%

I’m still pretty pissed that sterilization for women is covered at 100% under my plan but not for men. (It should be both 100% imo)

Should’ve used Papyrus

I only checked replicate api but you can generate 333 images for $1. Ofc takes some know-how but it’s cheap if you can get it set up

Pihole let’s you set up groups so you can always exempt certain devices from blocking if that’s the issue. Otherwise you just need to go to your router and change the dns server to your pihole ip

What advantage is there is changing nameservers? Is it just the centrally manage DNS or something else? I’m fairly new to self hosting and only serving locally for now.

I do know cloudflare uses the same nameservers PER ACCOUNT so if you’re wanting to have multiple domains but keep one or more connections separated from you then this does draw a minor connection to a subset of Cloudflare accounts with the same two nameservers

I think wed just need the following

• rel.id (primary key)
• rel.user_id (foreign key to person.id)
• rel.user_id2 (foreign key to person.id)
• rel.type (type of relationship)
• rel.start (non null)
• rel.end

From there you don’t need a rel.status because you’re not updating this rel.id entry except for the rel.end. if they started dating again later it would be a whole new entry, and then you could query their entire dating history to see if they keep coming back to the same person, dating around, playing the field, etc. Separately there could be a friendship relationship that is tracked so you could if they ended being friends after a breakup.

To that point a person table with a relationship table. So this way you can reference relationship between two or more persons within the relationship table and that could be joined to the person table if needed. I don’t think you’d really be able to keep it within one table while exploring multiple relationships unless you’re storing a list of ids that is interpreted outside of sql. Also a relationship table would allow exploring other types of relationships such as exes, love interests, coworkers, family, friends, etc

Ultimately, arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

Right, that or it’s a bunch of BS. Either way it can’t be good. At a certain point you need either work experience or a portfolio for what you’ve worked on since your degree. Having only degrees is a problem.

Ive often thought that id love to get paid to learn. Like give up my job and my new job is just learning

They did, and they still have the rpi foundation with that goal, as well as the for-profit subsidiary.

It’s a flaw with effective altriusm-- you have a goal of fixing some large scale problem and at some point you realize you need large amounts of capital to expand your impact. But the interim period you are just going to be amassing wealth with this idea of doing good. And even then, you may never reach a point where you feel like you earned enough to solve your problem. I.e sam bankman fried

Now I’m not saying that rpi foundation hasn’t done good in the world. I’m just saying that they did start off with a lofty goal and it is clear that they are wanting to expand and make more money. Maybe this means someday they’ll be able to do even greater things through the rpi foundation… but I’m not optimistic

They’ve already gone downhill since 2020 when they couldn’t keep up with the demand and focused on B2B sales. This really isn’t a surprise to me

This gives some better context. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21553327/why-is-except-pass-a-bad-programming-practice

But essentially ignoring every single error a program could generate is not great. It’d be better to know what those errors are and fix/prevent them from occurring in the first place.

My work agreement is supposed to be 8-5 with hour lunch. I work 9-5 or 8-4 and eat at my desk when i can. But i do have mandatory overtime which sometimes makes it 7am-9pm. Fun times
