I've been using self hosted Gitlab instances for about two years now, maintenance is really low. I've never seen an outage on any of the systems. Running applications at scale is hard but running Gitlab in a low traffic environmen

But would you want to only block single IPv6 addresses? Usually whole blocks are assigned as far as I know? So just hashing a single ipv6 would probably not work very well.

Appears to be mostly back up, albeit very unstable. They needed several attempts so I guess attackers had a few attack vectors and switched those every time one was closed. Which points to a well prepared attack, not just a script kiddy ren

Apparently Flightaware also had issues which could explain that. ADSBExchange was still up but they're probably just too unknown for attackers to care. If you bring down Flightaware and Flightradar you can prevent most people from trac

The problem just is that it's often infeasible to replace the higher income. And since women in their early 30s are (unfortunately) often paid worse on average than men (due to many factors), women stay out longer and lose out even mor

House sales have hit an all-time high last year. The share of foreign buyers has increased over the past decade but is still insignificant. So someone is definitely buying houses and tech workers tend to be paid quite well in comparison to

It depends very much on where you live. Localized results outside of the US suck with DDG. Yes, you can set a language but you always have to set/unset it and even then it's not great at providing results that are relevant to a sp

It's also hard to argue against it. In the end, Google uses all that data to make more money with ads. And having relevant ads for your taste isn't necessarily bad for many. The amount of data collection is truly bad for people li

Because with password you could impersonate them. If you asked them for their profile infos most are probably willing to give those. There are few people who are really careful about what they share on social media. So that argument doesn&#

Or business expenses. Black cabs still tend to get you to your destination faster than Uber. They're faster to hail (at least in busy areas), can often use bus lanes and have more knowledge of the city. Their pricing is insane but I&#x

Uber has been in London since before that, competition by Uber and other minicabs was probably a reason for card requirements for black cabs.

It's not just tech workers, pretty much any academic will hit that limit. And if you live in an expensive area, 1800 Euro can be a severe cap. With mortgages to pay, it can be unrealistic for the father to take more than the minimum of

Germany has a much more restrictive system though. 65% and a cap that pretty much anyone with a college degree will hit. So in reality you look at 30-50% for most people. Still nice, especially given the job guarantee, but very restrictive

If you're all remote it's probably easiest to rent office space for those days close to a train station (or between those) in London. In that case it's probably not more than 4 hours for anyone based in the UK. Same for other

Not if you go to Scotland but Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool (to name the most common places remote workers for London companies appear to work from what I've seen) are easily done in a day trip. Prices can be hefty but compared to s

I actually like those. For me it's strange to never see colleagues in real life, on the other hand I'm also a big fan of remote. Having a day every other week is great to keep a balance there. May also be because I'm from Eur

Not completely true though. Salary caps are in place that restrict the amount you can get. While for full time parental leave that's capped at 1800 Euro/months, for part time they restrict the eligible amount you're allowed t

I was referring to the opposite, having multiple physical machines to develop. Using Code Server means I don't have to sync between machines.

Honestly, I've never heard anyone complain apart from tech people. Long reboots are annoying but overall, Windows 10 is pretty well accepted by every non-technical person I know.

How are you locked out of business by not using Google? Enough companies run solely on Microsoft products without any issues. Others use separate providers for Email and conferencing (e.g. Zoom). I don't see how not using Google is a p

I'm not sure if selling and shipping drugs to end customers was ever a good job to get into. Wholesale drug shipments maybe, but selling to end customers always had way too much risk for the money you could make there. We shouldn'

The question is how many dealers there really are. If you look at the volumes of some of the arrested dealers, it seems like few people dominate these platforms. Arresting them is enough to disrupt the market for a bit. Sure, new ones will

Honest question: Would using Linux have been a better idea then? An old unpatched Win XP has tons of vulnerabilities but so does an unpatched 20 year old Linux Kernel. Using Windows XP on those devices often gets very bad rep but is there a

Always a good advice but I wouldn't worry about MSFT going after downloaders of Windows XP source code. If it was about Windows 10 or even Windows 7 then maybe, but I don't think they care much that this is out in the open.
