I've been at two different companies who also had support as a competitive differentiator. Both of them were bought, both had support stripped and outsourced and both are more profitable than they were. Sadly, as much as we want to bel

That sounds more like a disaster waiting to happen than a junior. I find it difficult to believe that she didn't know the purpose of the healthcheck, so it sounds like breaking (someone else's problem) instead of addressing gaps i

I wonder if opening the app invalidated it, and those people who had it working just screenshot once. My gym has a similar system but I realised it's time based and the app functions without Internet. I installed the app onto an old an

Usually the solution is to either not add ssl until you have the certs, or use selfsigned/snakeoil placeholder certs to get nginx started. Personally I use dns everywhere. I have a central server running dehydrated and dns challenges e

I love this idea. Like others mentioned the cloudflare is annoying and search is way too slow, but as a concept I like it. Make it faster and I can see myself using this every week

What if my problem is that it's funded by Google to the tune of a billion a year and spent a large part of the last two years trying to reposition itself as an ad company?

Or target it under the same law. All you need to do is shift the blame for providing adult content onto the vpn provider and suddenly they'll stop providing services to the UK. Might be a little more tricky to enforce globally but perf

I agree with the article but it's not like there are zero benefits to the app. When I have low or intermittent data, a local cache plus minimal data sent to an API is usually much more responsive

Interesting reply, but I was responding to a poster who said they don't encrypt their disks because "someone stealing your physical disks to obtain your precious family data" is a useless threat scenario and so everything sho
