Inbound IPs use anycast - the IP we give you routes to the nearest fly region and then hits a wireguard tunnel to get to the correct region. Outbound IPs are tied to the individual…

fwiw - our network folks _should_ have fixed this a few weeks ago. Some of the outbound IPs were incorrectly tagged in some of the geoip databases as being in the US when they were…

Oh, this is good to know I must have missed it. I assume this is the same Cerberus Capital Management that acquired Safeway and has been running them into the ground?

To clarify, Jody Allen took over Paul Allen’s fortune when he passed. I’m unsure what all has been closed since then, I know at least Stratolaunch (a space firm), Vulcan Production…

The large majority of Android is Apache 2, rich requires attribution but no release of source code.

I’ve been working remotely since last June. I decided to stay in Seattle. Sure, we have our issues (homelessness, high rents) but we also have some perks (close to nature, beautifu…

I did the same thing at a previous job. Got signed up for an 8 hour security training because of it - somehow I refused to go and they didn't fire me.

Let’s say I have 1000 outstanding shares all worth $10. I need to pay someone a $5000 bonus. I’ll just issue 500 shares of stock to them instead because, well, that’s about $5000. …

I’ve looked at a lot of budgeting apps. In order of priority, I want: 1. Don’t be evil (aka don’t be intuit) 2. Web based with some sane security (2fa, encryption at rest, etc) 3. …

Or they did what I did - spent it. At the peak I would have had $8 million before taxes had I not turned it into cash to pay for the electricity my CPU was burning to mine it. Oh w…

Thanks! I was wrong, look at that :P

I have one qualm with /e/: they use LineageOS as their base, add a few apps, and avoid mentioning this to anyone. Most of their repos aren’t special, they’re a 1:1 copy of upstream…

I have a few domains I don’t host public-facing websites on - they’re used for either email, or internal things at home, or just hosting txt records. There’s no sane way to validat…

For the payment aspect, charge $5 then refund it once both people say they’ve met?

These are still maintained in windows 10 for backward compatibility, oddly enough

I like 1Passwords auth for this. There's a long key you need once (this stays in a lockbox), and a master password you need every sign in (safety deposit box with no information ab…

Github is primarily Rails/MySQL (or was last time I paid attention to any of their blogs), I'm guessing they're storing dates as a TIMESTAMP and not a DATETIME (4 bytes vs 8 bytes)…

I moved for college to a small town with a decent engineering school, along with two very good friends from high school (we're still friends today). The town itself was rather depr…

I was a solid B student in high school. I got a 35 on the ACT, which apparently helped me land a scholarship. So same boat as you. Except I then it lost due to being a depressed an…

To clarify: I don't fault the individuals. The flex driver program itself is broken. "Gig economy" seems to be a way to avoid minimum wage and employment laws.

I also wonder how this will work in large cities. Packages to my condo are delivered to a non Amazon locker in our parking garage, my building doesn't have a spot where drones coul…

As the other commenters have said, this is insanely dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. This is always a good read, it's what happens if you do this wrong: https://blog.…

I debated Amazon for this but decided to go to a hardware store instead. Found out they make smoke alarms with 10 year lithium batteries now, and they're not that much more expensi…

I spent a bit of time earlier trying to figure out who owned what in Seattle earlier. What I got out of it: * QFC/Fred Meyer are owned by Kroger * Safeway/Albertsons are owned by a…

I can't tell if Safeway has gotten worse or if I've just been shopping at the expensive organic place for too long. I can go buy produce from Safeway on a Sunday, and have it be mo…
