Their convoluted salary and options package was one of the driving reasons why I declined a job there.

I agree with this. Self-hosting requires the user to understand their network, their software, how it all interacts.

If you provide a hardware product and call it a solution, people are going to expect a turn-key solution like a plug-and-play router.

You’re going to end up supporting a bunch of newbies who, by no fault of their own, can’t tell you an error code in the console let alone whatever UI you give them.

I think a better solution would be a course that walks newbies through self hosting.

Creative Commons-BY-NC would be better.

Okay. Second question: where are you going to keep 24 liters of cat litter? Granted I’m no expert in communist units (and I’m way too fucking tired to look it up) but I imagine that’s a lot, both in terms of volume and weight.

I’ll admit I kind of typed this without thinking it through. In a secured site, the password would be hashed and salted before storing in the database.

Depending on where you’re doing the hashing, long strings might still slow you down. That being said, from a security standpoint, any gain in entropy by adding characters would be negligible past a certain point. I don’t remember what that number is but it certainly isn’t in the thousands.

I sort of get it. You don’t want to allow the entire work of Shakespeare in the text field, even if your database can handle it.

16 characters is too low. I’d say a good upper limit would be 100, maybe 255 if you’re feeling generous.

I believe that there is a project that aims to do just this but I can’t remember its name.

How “scriptable” is virt-manager?

My biggest issue with VirtualBox is that I have to install OSes as if I’m actually installing them. There aren’t any images (at least that I’m aware of) that can run with a command, like deploying an EC2.

$100 is small claims territory. Most jurisdictions, it’s against the rules to hire an attorney and must be represented by someone who has the authority to make a settlement.

Are you not in the US? Equifax is a credit bureau and if you’ve never heard of them, you never needed credit or you’re not from the US.

The other three, I’ve only heard of Ashley Madison because they had a very aggressive ad campaign before ad blockers became ubiquitous. One could say it was ads like theirs that made ad blocking a requirement.

It’s your problem when they can’t make payroll because of it. And it’s your problem when they ultimately blame you for not having the solution ready to implement.

The first has happened to me once.

The second more times than I can count.

I absolutely cannot stand this kind of logic.

“We make a shit ton of money on this very critical piece of software!”

“Then let me fix it!”

“NO! It’s making us money NOW! It only stops making us money when it’s broken. At which point then we fix it.”

“But that might be hours. We can minimize downtime if we plan properly.”

"But it’s making us money NOW!1!1!”

I shit you not I have had various versions of this conversation throughout my career, across industries, across disciplines.

I love OurGroceries!!! It’s so handy. ngl…the app would be worth an annual subscription and makes me wonder how they keep their app running with just a one-time payment.

That’s my method as well. That and a folder to hold all the receipts. When I sell the car, I print out the spreadsheet and then trash the receipts.

If ad domains can be resolved to their IPv6 addresses, it means that they are not blocked. Your device connects to the IPv6 address and serves the ad.

I can’t remember what the problem was but my window to rollback was closing so I reverted back to IPv4 only and pushed it to another day.

Not in the US. The number of people who trust PayPal absolutely amazes me.

PayPal is not a bank. Regardless of what they write on their site, they aren’t regulated as a bank or insured as a bank.

They have the legal authority to close your account and take your money for any reason. There are countless horror stories of people trying to get PayPal to release their funds only to find out they have no legal recourse.

I stopped reading after “subscription-based”.

This seems counter to Concept 6 in the OP.

for residential internet, the globally routable prefix can change

Do you mean that ISPs don’t regularly rotate your PD in practice? I’d actually prefer that they did to maintain a semblance of privacy.

An issue I had the last time I tried to set up IPv6 up was pihole didn’t work as well as I would have preferred. I assumed I just didn’t set up things correctly and it’s looking like that is the case based on the OP.

It kept resolving ad domains with their IPv6 address.

I literally wrote like a week ago for a guide like this

This is awesome and answers so many questions. I kept trying to force IPv6 addresses to my machines and they kept not doing it! I also didn’t know they would have multiple addresses.
