Reuters if folks prefer that.

Just waiting around for tens of minutes wherever you were supposed to meet someone, when they didn’t show on time.

that discussion of topics that was more popular on Lemmy, like Linux, would drown out my other interests

I certainly run into that. I don’t think I have the energy for multiple accounts, but I wish I could ask for roughly equal numbers of posts from my top 4-5 communities, instead of News + WorldNews dominating everything.

Good point about a default deny approach to users and ssh, so random services don’t add insecure logins.

The one db I saw compromised at a previous employer was an AWS RDS with public Internet access open and default admin username/password. Luckily it was just full of test data, so when we noticed its contents had been replaced with a ransom message we just deleted the instance.

What a deservedly scathing review of the US of A.

Didn’t expect the snake to turn the box. Excellent loop.

I have ESP8266 WiFi modules running Tasmota firmware for a few parts of this. Some report temperature (and humidity just for fun), I like DS18B20 sensors better than SHT30s which seem to have a bit more self heating. Then I also have Mitsubishi mini split heat pumps for which there’s a Tasmota control library. MQTT for communication + HomeAssistant for UI + AppDaemon for automation scripts in Python.

Examples of the UI in HA:

Is this the same incident? Some more detail from CBC:

Israeli forces fired on the crowd on three occasions overnight and into Sunday, killing two people and wounding nine, including a child, according to Al-Awda Hospital, which received the casualties.

Israel’s military said in a statement that it fired warning shots at “several gatherings of dozens of suspects who were advancing toward the troops and posed a threat to them.”

Me debugging SQL syntax errors in complied dbt models.

I really enjoyed working with SQLDelight when I was briefly writing a Kotlin backend, sadly it wasn’t complete enough. (It “generates typesafe Kotlin APIs from your SQL statements.”)

Reminds me of AWS Lambda. Gateway Error 502 you say? Gotta go digging in the application logs!

I found the Lawrence Systems videos very helpful to get a sense of what the administration tools actually would be like to use. And have been pleasantly surprised with the reality (got set up in the last month, only point of comparison is consumer routers + FreshTomato).

One of the attractions is Unifi for me was that even if you can use the cloud management, it’s still possible to do it all self-hosted (even run the network controller on any OS) too. I didn’t feel like it was being too pushy about going cloud.

Google too: from The Verge:

In the weeks after Hamas’s October 7th attack on Israel, employees at Google’s cloud division worked directly with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) — even as the company told both the public and its own employees that Google only worked with civilian government ministries, the documents reportedly show.

They’ve also fired 50 employees for protesting.

Join unions, ask recruiters if the workforce is unionized.

I started messing with Linux, then became a developer. Whatever draws your interest!

1 Declare ceasefire 2 Get hostages, time, good press 3 Keep genociding 4 Act surprised

So either:

• Sieg heil
• Dumb enough to not know what one is or that this would be read as one despite being deep into neo Nazism

Were they systematically tortured? Medical staff abducted from hospitals that were then razed? Foreign humanitarian aid workers killed in non combat zones?

Not that important a detail to focus on, in the context of the genocide.

A bit more balanced: the UN Commission finds war crimes and crimes against humanity in Israeli attacks on Gaza health facilities and treatment of detainees, hostages.

Yeah, every time I find some weird annoying behavior or some missing feature in MySQL, PostgreSQL is doing it right.

That said, also ask yourself if you really need a relational database, or whether an object store or append-only / timeseries db would fit better.

NYTimes makes it sound a bit less concrete:

Negotiators from Israel and Hamas have provisionally agreed to the broad outline of a cease-fire in Gaza, though they have yet to confirm its start date and other technical issues, according to a senior official from one of the mediating countries and two senior Israeli officials.

The deal still needs to be formally ratified by the Israeli cabinet, according to the officials. Two other officials said there was last-minute wrangling over the Egypt-Gaza border, which is currently controlled by Israeli forces — which could still delay a final agreement.

Based on recent actions, I’ll believe it when troops withdraw instead of deciding to blow up more hospitals (if any are left).
