This really takes me back. Microsoft Comic Chat, for better or worse, was essentially my intro into the internet. I must've been maybe 10 when I started talking on it, and after they wound it down I switched to MSN Chat, and then quick

RDP essentially takes video of your machine and transfers it over the internet. Same with keyboard and mouse interactions. Which has 3 main flaws: 1) If your internet connection isn't great, the responsiveness is terrible. 2) If you&#x

If you don't have them host the environment for you, it doesn't cost a dime. If you have a desktop, or a server (that can run a gui for now, because they don't have a CLI option yet), you can run VSCode locally on there, inst

OK, I got this working for my Desktop VSCode environment and that works great. But I'm guessing this wasn't tested in combination with the SSH Remote extension? I can register my local VSCode just fine. When I connect to a remote

Gotcha. I'll admit since there weren't any instructions on doing it in the online admin, and in the docs it's not listed as a subpoint, I got disheartened when I reached the docs and missed it being underneath the instruction

Is there documentation somewhere for the self-hosted environment option, which according to the product landing page and pricing page is no cost? I'm guessing the flow there is to use VSCode through the online site, but give ssh creden

AWS runs ICE servers, and ICE uses AWS Rekognition as part of their crackdowns[1]. I was at the AWS NYC Keynote this year, and the protesters were very clear: "Cut ties with ICE!" Maybe AWS only has ICE contracts because of Amazon

Sure, and I'm sure there are actual cases where being good at 2 different skills (not one of which being some form of marketing yourself) is relevant. Devops pretty much requires being good at both development and server administration

Everyone's traffic is different. Meetup shows up on google for us, sure, but so does our website (above meetup), and our website sells it far better than meetup does. When we get new people from meetup, it's because they were on m

The FreeCodeCamp one is pitched as a self-hosted solution, which means it won't have a network of meetup groups like meetup.com does. If you have a big network of meetups yourself (like, say, FreeCodeCamp), then sure it works. If you&#

Backblaze B2 + Cloudflare would be a perfect combination for hosting a static site. Unfortunately there's no way to map a Backblaze bucket to a domain, so even if you use cloudflare to point www.mydomain.com to it your files still show

I absolutely agree with that sentiment. And if that only affected individuals, I would agree and accept that point. The problem is that it affects the entire society. If a society needs to get information to form an opinion on something (sa
