   I'm experimenting with it in my garden right now. Definitely had a fusarium issue this year (tomatoes in the same location for 3 years running). I have hairy vetch in now as a cover crop in that bed and will plant tomatoes again next

   New research has shown that winter cover cropping with hairy vetch will suppress fusarium.

   Any good tutorials on setting up Wireguard? This (and Pihole) have been on my todo list for a while.

   I'm in the same boat. Also "senior dev" doesn't mean what it meant 10 years ago. I just had a really quick chat last night with a engineering lead. The position was a "senior dev" with 5-8 years experience i

   This isn't true for everyone. I'm on site every day and Zoom is a hassle compared to a phone call I can do from my car.

    We looked at a private school, but ultimately opted for virtual K. The other thing this private school had going for it was class size. Way smaller than what public schools have to put up with.

    As someone that's in the market right now, I have found "competitive" to mean "low" as well. It's a meaningless term. Competitive to what?

    I know this forum! It was one of the largest installations of vBulletin for a time.

    Cool. Probably not as elegant as Twilio, but free is hard to beat.

    I think all of those sensors (as well as the OLED display) are supported by esphome. That'll give you near plug-and-play with HomeAssistant with just a little YAML.

    Instead of Twilio you could use SNS and subscribe to it via SMS. You would most likely stay within the free tier there too.

    Is finding a good recruiter easier than finding a good position?

    I took 3 weeks with my first, 2 weeks with my second. All PTO. Took me a while to dig out of those holes.

    Yes, they ban anyone who violates their TOS. This is not news nor a threat to democracy.

    We run ansible-pull as the very last step of a CloudFormation build (instance or autoscaling group). So it's a local pull, not a push from somewhere else. Only done once, hence the immutability. To make changes you replace the insta
