    I have a portforward on my home router and simply ssh in to my always on desktop. This is also useful for not having to keep sensitive documents on a device I may lose while out an…

    This is most evident in any post that mentions cryptocurrency or anything in anyway related.

    I'm Irish, there still exists a lot of pride for potatoes here. I have a small allotment here as part of a communal garden and each spring there is probably more excitement about t…

    I find myself asking this question, what causes more net harm, the social impact of people abusing cocaine and associated problems or the damage caused by cocaine being high lucrat…

    This is actually considered best practice now for content for public consumption. If you can lower the average reading age for understanding the content you increase the amount of …

    Funny in Ireland I find tech salaries quite generous with 80k+ easily achievable for someone with 5+ years experience and 6 figures being the norm for a senior worth his salt.

    I would argue its second most popular feature is purchases on dark net markets. This has been a constant theme since bitcoin was first released and I think is always discounted whe…

    That is a really hard to achieve definition of useful.

    Fairly typical old man Dublin accent, I had a good chuckle listening to his stories.

    Run the application locally in a terminal and just use pdb normally. To do it to an application running in a container is slightly more involved but still possible.

    Off topic but why would a corporate company use a website for their blog which puts articles behind a paywall? It seems completely at odds with the purpose of a corporate blog.

    Probably not the answer you want to hear but the best office chair is no chair. I only have a standing desk at home and my back/legs are so much better after 3 weeks of WFH than th…

    I've done this, although in my cold climate it took months to throw out a root. Give it time.

    I'm not sure about django but flasks Application object has a before_first_request method which takes a function designed to do this type of initialization operations.

    Genuine question, if usernames are unique what is the problem with using them as the primary key of the table instead of an arbitrary value from a sequence, you also get the bonus …

    This doesn't look to take commands after a pipe into account so IMHO doesn't accurately reflect command usage. For example running above I was surprised awk wasn't in the list but …

    Sounds good in theory but would be interesting to know how prevalent cloud cover is in the city.

    I have also asked this, I can't understand why my managers always think its a joke idea.

    This may not work but could be worth a shot and lots of fun. Buy a RC airplane and learn to fly it, nothing crazy but not something to cheap either ($200 from a Chinese site). This…

    It does say the bot tries to secure the device and then resorts to bricking it if it can't. Not condoning the janitors actions but at least bricking isn't his first action.

    I can't agree with you. The sheer fact that I know well what the reddit error page is refutes this. In fact it's one of the few sites I frequent that I know even have an error page…
