    There's a good chance you have other options. Regardless of how you feel about the company's head, Starlink would probably be one of them, with likely better performance than you'r…

    So it's AWS Fargate with a different name? That's cool for cloud hosted stuff. But if you're on prem, or manage your own VPS' then you need SSH access.

    Telling someone they're biased must be the most low-effort comment there is. Everyone is biased about any subject where they have even a nuanced self interest in. And in your case,…

    "which cost almost nothing for low traffic" you invented the retort "what about high traffic" within your own message. I don't even necessarily mean user traffic either. But if you…

    I'm sure TP-Link could help fund a second ball room.

    I think there's a bit more to it than that. Being mean in a friendly way is sort of a sport, for some people finding a good quip is about the mental challenge of wordsmithing. It's…

    Why did it put you off? Did you not understand the intention behind the words, or were the words unforgiveable despite their intention?

    They're always more common in metro areas of the US. You must be from a relatively rural area and don't get out of it much. That said, uh, the use of getting a taxi to drive you to…

    I think everyone knows and silently understands that the people responding/emoji-ing in those channels all day every day are doing so at the cost of work output, and that there are…

    The opening story is about how the narrator was replaced by AI, but trades workers cannot. And that doesn't strike you as setting up AI to be central to the article?

    USA has Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and AmEx. Each of which try to entice their customers by offering better rewards programs. Though AmEx isn't taken everywhere (notably Costco) a…

    That sounds like a simpler life/role, not a pointless one.

    On the other hand, my team slapped 3 servers down in a datacenter, had each of them configured in a Proxmox cluster within a few hours. Some 8-10 hours later we had a fully configu…

    I don't know that I agree that it's crazy. Any time I see a base64 encoded string, I decode it, because I want to know what's in there and what I'm working with. Don't use b64 if i…

    You are correct, I had to do a bit of research. Because Chrome even explicitly states that traffic to a site with an expired certificate is unencrypted. But I guess that's mostly t…

    edit: Misinformation, the below user is mostly correct. It IS still less secure than a properly validated TLS connection though. The certificate is expired, your traffic to and fro…

    Why not link to the horse's mouth instead of some random site with expiring TLS certs? https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/41-billion-world-ban...

    My American Express savings account gets me an APY of 4.1%, so there's other options, but agree that it seems like either are the best rate I've found in the US.
