Sparking

Ban them too.

You can label it as a trendy new tech term, but it is the age old yes-manism that I have watched eat up tech executives and CEOs that I have worked with.

The real work of software engineering isn’t the coding. That is like saying that being a doctor is all about reading health charts. Planning, designing, testing and maintaining software is the hard part, and it is often much more political than it is a technical challenge. I’m not worried about getting replaced by AI. In fact, LLMs ability to generate high volumes of code only makes the skills to understand it to be more in demand.

Should probably just filter them out by default, and then have a sort by funny or something.

That’s only when it comes to advertising and messaging. Once you start bringing up actual government processes like registering to vote and polling location information it gets interesting. Lying about the voter registration process for instance, which this seems close to.

Oh boy, this has got to be an FEC violation.

Game mode doesn’t have a browser. I would be interested to find out of the steamdeck sales almost directly correlate to this increase. Not that I am complaining, it’s a great way to use a linux desktop experience. I didn’t really read how these numbers were measured.

The other explanation I could think of is that linux desktop is being adopted widely in India. I don’t think that government’s adopting linux desktop accounts for a significant portion of the machines.

Are steamdecks getting counted in this?

That also helps linux. Tried watching something on someone else’s peacock account logged into Linux, and got an error. Checked Google to see if it was available. A free site had it, in better quality streaming too! We ended up using her computer, but I was kind of amazed.

Hey, that robotics nerd was me! I hung out with the book nerds on senior skip day, they were pretty cool.

What are you talking about? I can’t find anything to back this up, but I am curious. Their about page claims they are funded by patreon donations, and doesn’t mention cloudflare anywhere.

Is it just that they use cloudflare services for traffic control, or they host on cloudflare? Especially if it is the former, that is pretty inane.

Isn’t the main issue not so much what they will show, but what gets monetized or not? There is always going to be a disconnect with this stuff because twitch wants the content that goes viral to be advertiser friendly.

Antenna pod is great. I switched to it from google podcasts a couple months ago figuring this would happen.

Generally I was talking about Federal devices. Those move a lot of needles because one federal change can switch a lot of stuff over.

Yeah, I’m surprised your agency let’s you do that with firefox. First time I have heard of that.

It’s USWDS, firefox should still work as long as it is standards compliant.

Are they talking about government devices? I’ve never seen firefox installed on a government device.

Is it a better deal after the SAG-AFTRA aggreement?

My advice: only forward ports 8080 and 443, then make sure that you have fail2ban or crossed properly set up on your reverse proxy. After that, you are pretty much fine as long as you keep on top of updating your containers.

I would be careful about which apps you proxy. Idk why you need to access the admin portal for pi hole worldwide. If you really want to do that, you should set up a vpn.

Yeah, in general, but not necessarily in that circumstance. A lot of time talking to tech people (I’m a softwar engineer) they can can be smug about this while leaving out important context.
