I know of several retailers and companies serving retailers that switched away from AWS around the time they bought Whole Foods. Before our company switched away, we had multiple retailers say that they would not use our services hosted by

I am part of a small team that maintains a legacy point of sale system that is still used by thousands of stores around the world. It started life as a DOS application written in C with some ASM bits, and has since accumulated some C++ and

Andreas’ excitement is infectious. I find myself sometimes smiling in an empty room watching his reaction to getting something working.

We still use Microsoft Visual Source Safe for some projects :) We have a main trunk, and a branch for each major version released, upon which we apply fixes and occasionally small feature updates as requested by customers. We’re a small tea

I haven’t encountered any issues with CGNAT, nor has my son, who plays way more Xbox than he should. I use Tailscale when I need to access something at home while out and about, and have considered using cloudflare tunnels for hosting from

If you have a navigation SD card inserted (that you likely don’t use due to the CarPlay), try removing it. It sped up my boot times significantly. I also have a usb full of music that I plug in sometimes, and I notice it is slower to boot w

I do a lot of work with virtual machines at <dayjob>, and don’t have enough room on the internal ssd to hold them all. I usually swap them in and out as I work on different projects, but every once in a while I’ll boot one direct from

Same for me. My ISP uses CGNAT, so I essentially share an IP address with hundreds to thousands of other people. Who knows which one of us upset their naive DDoS protection.

I’d love to have something like this for Gnome on Wayland. Either automatically like this project, or some kind of “pause” button on the title bar. If only there were a couple more hours per day…

I wonder if my pi-hole is blocking that. I’ve never heard anything like that, and we have them all over the house in use every dat.

Why wouldn’t they just capture the card number and sell it?

Are they even processing a payment, or are they just capturing your account number to sell?

Plain old Gnome (41.1) on Arch. Simple and gets out of the way. There are some annoyances, but it works well enough. I’ve used KDE Plasma (on Neon) and XFCE (Xubuntu) in the past.

Last year I decommissioned a Pi 2 that had been running nonstop pretty much since it came out, with the same SD card. I used it as a camera/motion detector for my garage, so it isn’t like it had the perfect environment. I also have a p

In my case, I’m working on a legacy product that started life in the 80’s. Aside from bug fixes, my work is almost completely funded by our customers requesting new features. I would look for a company who has a mature product that needs on

Mazda got this right on the CX5 (at least in my 2016). Not only is there a knob, but it is on the center console where you can easily reach it without looking. Same goes with the controls (the touch screen is disabled when the vehicle is mo
