I'm guessing "Meta, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google" but with a "_" for some reason

I helped one of my clients swap from their "bespoke" solution (dodgy bash scripts and an S3 bucket) to Snapshooter which made our lives a lot easier. Looking at Backupsheep's websi…

Call me cynical but for those prices I don't expect amazing service or stability, so I don't run any production stuff there.

>Such biscuits are still popular with Afrikaaners in South Africa. "Rusks", if anyone is curious. You dunk them into your tea or coffee to soften them before eating.

Well, I guess they now know how effective the cannon is... This is going to be one hell of a rough couple of days for the technician(s) involved.

That's 4chan. The other big site is 8chan, where users can create their own boards and there are less rules, which makes it much harder to moderate. Then you also have all of the s…

Chans allow anonymous users to upload images and historically this leads into a lot of illegal content, especially stuff like child porn, to be uploaded unless you have strict mode…

zimpenfish mentioned that there are 2500 people working at the company so 160 hiring managers makes much more sense now.

Ah, 2500. That's ~15 people per hiring manager so you're right, that does seem more reasonable.

>Approximately 160 people, all the hiring managers at Riot at the time Just how big was Riot Games that they need 160 hiring managers? The only big game they made was League of Leg…

And before. Most people were still on dialup until I think maybe 2010-2012. Wireless ISPs became really popular during all of this because they could offer better service, better u…

When I started my IT career in South Africa the internet situation was pretty horrendous. ADSL/Broadband speeds were 384kbps and you had hard bandwidth caps of ~$7 per gigabyte of …

Hah, that is really clever of him. I should try that next time.

Here in the UK STs get hit with the higher tax brackets simply because they are not treated as a separate company, so all money earned is income. It's stupid to do things as a ST, …

> If your contractor has just you as a client for a long time, if you stop the mission he can sue you for « economical dependance » Here in the UK, if your contractor works for you…

Hah, yeah I suppose that would be far more attractive :)

I wonder how big the contractor market is in France. I mean, contractors are easy to hire and fire so it could be a good compromise (at least in the short term).

I seriously doubt it. There are just too many hurdles to get over. Even trying to get staff from another EU office to come and work is a pain the arse, as my previous place of work…

I do this daily, mainly because most of our infrastructure isn't immutable yet :(

>The new youtube rules will also get rid of entertainment channels like Hickock45 and Demolition Ranch (the proceeds of which help subsidize the creator's other channel, Vet Ranch)…

Shit happens. Sometimes it's an oversight, sometimes it's accidental, sometimes it's from ignorance to the dangers. Sometimes it's even a honeypot, like this time :)
