Were you grandfathered in at a lower rate or something? I was paying $89.99 for 6 months back in 2018. Which was a completely ridiculous rate for a few meetups a year with a dozen or so people. Cancelled meetup shortly thereafter and migrat

Based on the recent post about the disposable Montreal subway tickets with a super cheap nfc chip (and amusingly on a paper ticket with a a printed on fake smart chip connection) it should be super cheap to have an automated kiosk that pair

My enterprise employer instituted retention policies on slack, so it couldn't be long term storage. I imagine any other large companies would be the same. Of course then we switched to teams which isnt as useful for finding anything, s

LD_AUDIT is even more interesting, and lesser known. It will load even before preload, and has handy hooks for everything that the loader does. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/rtld-audit.7.html And had

Announcing this on april first makes it difficult to parse if this is a serious proposal or not. It appears to be, but maybe i'm missing the joke. Personally no experience with kde plasma, but i'd love something more usable than g

The CEO is paid $193M, this has nothing to do with any profit reddit makes. Which, they have never made a profit, "Now, Reddit — which is not yet profitable"......"Reddit reported a net loss of $90.8 million in 2023, a narrow

Interesting, .xyz was by far higher on my list of disreputable spam domains. I'd be happy with that one shut down too.

Which is pretty much what down detector has evolved into. And it looks like they have an enterprise offering to alert companies to their own issues.

Is there any reason for the void cast here? Theres no return value in use. (void)strlcpy(des_pass, pass,sizeof(des_pass));

It should be timely as well, reddits status page will happily show all green while down detector for reddit shows huge spikes in error reporting. Which doesn't make for a super useful status page.

This was originally from Twitter, but i haven't seen any informed technical discussion on the topic. If the original reporter could grab a packet capture this would be solvable instead of a bunch of speculation. Although in the typical

Meetup is so absurdly expensive for a glorified calendar and email list that they have driven away every group except for tech company sponsored ones. $180/year for the cheapest plan drove me away. Facebook groups let you do a similar

16GB pc isn't even the correct comparison, on apple its 8GB unified between cpu+gpu+more. The 16GB pc equivalent, especially for equivalent pricing of a mbp is going to have a video card with dedicated vram in addition. A $1549 dell xp

My local costco sells large boxes of frozen cubed goat meat, and maybe entire goats. (Theres occasionally something large wrapped in burlap next to where the goat cubes are stored in the freezer). I don't have a need for a 15 pound box

MATE is my preferred environment, but is it even viable anymore? Despite being in the package list for fedora(?) on recent versions, It fails to install and talk on the bug thread is just to remove the packages from the repo.
